Outside OF the White SoN and Red

plenty of trouble.

The National Boxing association ac-
complishcd something recently which
for years has seemed impossible.
Seventeen states organized a National
body to control the sport, and many
other states which have been skeptical

For the first time in the history of the
sport it has been standardized and
the governing body now has weapons
by which 1t can control boxers and
their managers everywhere.
The fact that there was no uni
formlty to the regulation in the diff

boxers to avoid punishment for viola
