BOXING ON NEW
 BASIS IN MASS
There Can Be No Bouts Without a Decision Given By Two Judges and
 Referee

Boston, Oct. 28-Boxing is on new basis in Massachusetts. For the
 first time in a quarter century pro- fessional matches are open to public participation under legal sanction, and it is no longer necessary for a man who wishes to see a bout to first join a club over the meetings of which referees have been the modera- tors and boxers the only memb bers who had the floor. The familiar an- nouncement in introducing fighters that "both are members of this club'' is heard no more.
 The new order of things is the re- suit of a law establishing a state box ing commission, and stipu1ating some of the conditions under which the sport must be conducted. These pro- vide for ten-round bouts, the rounds of three minutes each, to be conduct sion under bonds of $5,000. Decisions are given by referee and two judges. licenesed by the commission. The members of the board. four days after their appointment, laid down supplementary regulations un- der which each judge is required to write and sign his decision and the referee decides if they disagree. Un- der the commissions rules there can be no draw.
 bout must be licensed-physician referee, judge, timekeeper, boxer, manager trainer or second. The pIy- Sician is required to examine the con- testants three hours before the bout and to certify in writing that each boxer is physically fit. Licenses bear photograph Of the boxers, with the idea of preventing impersonations.
 Referees and judges are assigned by the commission to authorize bouts and their identity to promoters boxers or spectators is not known un- til they take their place at the ring side. This is a further check against fraudulent collusion. Under the law the commissioners have authority similar to that of city councils to re- quire the testimony of witnesses on all matters within their jurisdiction.
 Women, who have seen bouts in this city previously only in male dis guise, are now allowed equal priv ileges with male followers of the sport, and at the first of the bouts under the new law femininity was sprinkledx throughout the arena. Gambling has been prohibited and seconds ordered to desist from objec- tionaable tactics in support of their principles.

Havana Switch
 Proves Surprise
Some Believe Championship Fight May Be Held In
 New York Yet
By Jack Veiock.

New York, Oct. 2s-The big fight goes to Havana.
 p,ahisa This is Re, the story of P5omotsrs 5o s are about to sign Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter, and they are sticking to it.
 Some of the second guessers. how ever, are calculating today that the cal myth and that in the end the fight will be staged right here in '.LiP ole' New York, as originally intended, and where, it is sure. the attraction would draw a million dollars,
 Thes udden switch to Havana came as somewhat of a surprise. The promoters got together late. Wednes- day to reconsider the articles and make arrangements to pacify Jack KearnS, who objected to the phrase ology of the contracts in some spots. This little matter was attended to promptly and Kearns is now ready to autograph the documents at any time and place named by Messrs. Rickard, Brady and Cochran, but the Havana angle! it is said a. Cuban syndicate to change their plans made an offer that could not be refused. but just, what it is, is not being divulged.
 Another possible occasion for the sudden switch may lie with the New York State Boxing Commission. The commission has not been partial to heavyweight attractions and it is just possible that the boxing body inform ed the promoters that they would save time and money and trouble by making plans to stage the worlds heavyweight championship some where else. There is no direct evil dence that this was the case, but it is possible.
 The time and place for signing the articles of agreement probably will be set by the promoters today. Carpen- tier and Descamps are eager to sign and get it over with, and Dempsey and Kearns are ready, now that ob- jectionable clauses in the articles have been reVamped.

RIDDLE LOOKING FOR
 HIS CANADIAN PURSE

Samuel D. Riddle is bginning to wonder when he will receive that purse of $75,000 which Man o'sWar won in beating Sir Barton in their special race over the Wentworth Park track at Windsor, Ontario, on October 12.
 He is not exactly worrying, as 1t usually takes two or three weeks to wind up a race meeting and distribute checks, but he is surprised that no word has come from A. M. Orpen. ex- blaming the delay in paying the big gest purse ever offered for a race of this kind in the history of the sport.
 MT. Riddle has no cause for worry either, as A. M. Orpen is not the type of a man to withhold payment of an obligation and furthermore the Canadian Racing Association stand as q practical .guarantee.
