BRIT0NS MAY ADOPT
US. BOXING SYSTEM
Anticipated Plan of Referee
Outside Of Ring in Dis
favor.

The International service bouts in Lon
DON which resulted in victory for the
british army boxers. have had the et-
feet OF opening the eyes of Englis pa
irons of the sport to tho weakness OF
their system OF judging contests and also
to the inability OF a referee seated In a
chair outside the ring to see all that goes
on within the ropes. Advices just re-
ceived from London indicate that there
Is general demand among boxing en-
thusiaSts for the adoption of the A.neri-
can plan Of the referee getting irco the
ring and following every move of the
contestants.
Strong objection also is made to the
referee wearing evening dress while
judging the points in a boxing match,
and the futillty OF referee seated out
side of the ring beseeching the con-
testants to break also Is strongly set
forth by the oppoeents of the present
system.
II Is pointed out that referees In foot
ball games are close to the centre of
activity. and therefore 1t Is quite as
necessary for n referee in a boxing bout
to be the third man in the ring" where
he can see all that takes place from
start to finish, and thus IS in a position
TO give an intelligent verdict.
The system of multiplicity of
judges, as exemplf1ed IN the military
competition at Albert Hall. also has
come in for severe condemnation, and
the suggestion is made that as a referee
who Is in the ring has a better chance
to Judge all the points he is the one who
should decide as to the winner.

European boxing methods are likely to

HOME OF DERBY TO
CLOSE ITS GATES
Syndicate to Buy Kentucky
Tracks and Abandon
Churchill Downs.

LEXINGTON, Ky, Jan. 5.-The pro-
posed sale OF the stock of the Douglas
fark and Latonia tracks to an under
wiring syndicate. which has been pend
Ing for some time, appears to be nearing
ConSnmmation and will cause merger
OF all the tracks in operation in Ken
lucky, including Churchill Downs and
the kentucky Association in Lexington.
1t is stated on good authority tonight
II has been the desire Of the prime
movers in the plan, which originated
with James r. Ross, superintendent of
the Kentucky Association, and who in
terested Edward +. Sims In the enter
prise, TO have Douglas Park take over
the management OF Churchill Downs,
with a view of closing the Downs course.
The delay in closing the deal. accord
Ing to the same authority. has been
caused by the failure on the part OF
those In charge Of the Downs to accept
this proposition. But now there appears
to be every probability that Charles f.
Granger, Pat J. Hanlon, Matt VIM and
Hamilton c. Apologize, as we'll as
others in control OF the Louisville Jockey
Club. Will agree to the proposed plan
OF merging all the tracks under one
management in the form OF board OF
officials similar TO those which control
the affairs of the Jockey Club in Eng
land and France. the Argentine Repub-
lie and New York.
The same authority said tonight that
such an arrangement would be eminently
satisfactory to the breeders and horso-
men in Kentucky. It would bring to-
gether the various factions and result in
placing the racing situation In the hands
Of men well qualified to maintain the
sport Of racing on the highest plane.
That the stock In the proposed holding
company should be scattered among -
many breeders as possible is tie prevail
Ing opinion here and that this should re-
turn a fair dividend is also the view OF
those vitally interested.
This element. including AS Il does
the representative horsemen in this
state. recognizes the Importance OF in
creased values OF stake races and
purses. n division of the profits among
charitable institutions as well as toward
the btterment OF the roads and the
State.
II IL the opinion here that racing
should not be overdone, that the associa-
ton in Kentucky should be maintained
primarily for the Improvement OF the
breed and for the benefit OF the breed
e4s and owners. and not with an idea
OF declaring large dividends.
II will also go well toward preventins
q move In the next Legislature 10 enact
laws curtailing tie present privileges OF

In a chaotic state, and few clubs knew

In all probability Lieut.. Dave Fultz
will be elected president of the league
today Lieut.. Fultz Is ready to take

makes II look as though Chaplin has
become reconciled to the former Players

Lannin May Retire.
Wrat vas more Significant than
Chapin's threat at the last meeting was
The statement made by Joe Lann!n that
II the big leagues do not lift the draft
from the minors he would drop all his
baseball interests. Lannin backed three
clubs last soason--Bufralo, Newark and
Standardization, Ont.
u is against tho best interests OF a
league 20 have the same man back so
many clubs. but In the case of the In
te-nstional Lsnnin's money was all that
enabled the league to weather the last
TWO seasons. With the return OF normal
conditions il is hoped ITO get a home
hacker for the Newark club. The Ham,
ilton franchise will be disposed OF 70
some other city.
Tho fact that the big leagues have
expressed a willingness TO do something
to help the minors and make their lot
easier may induce Lannin to stick to
the ship. However. there is no chance
o. The major leagues consenting to ex-
erp,ion from the draft for the class IA
leagues. The major leagues believe the
draft Is splendid institution and that
e insures the graduation of players TO
he highest places IL their profession.
Many men. among them Jack Dunn Of
Baltimore. admit freely that if the draft
Is taken OFF they would stop selling play

player in the International League II

The majority OF the class IA owners
want the draft taken off so they may get

by certain date, or submit TO his
