ONE Arm FREE RULE
BOON TO HUGGERS
Walker Law Specifically Bars
Holding and Hitting at
Same Time.
ny CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

The steady growth OF the clinchng
evil in Greater New York boxing clubs,
which turns a large proportion of bouts
into tiresome hugging matches, may be
due in measure to the zone arm free
edict 10 referees
BY zone arm frec'' Is meant that a
boxer may hit whenever one of his arms
Is free, and liberal Interpretation
would enable a fighter to hold with one
hand and hit with the other. This is
prohibited by the Walker law, which de-
clares that holding with one hand and
hitting with the other is foul 1t is also
foul to persistentlyNclinch. Therefore 1t
boxer must not hold and hit at the same
time. Yet IL an opponent holds one arm
OF contestant the latter may hit with
his free arm or, IL boxer is held by
an opponent about the neck or body and
his hands arc free he may hit with
both.
Nothing was more pleasing TO Terry
McGovern than to have an opponent hold
him by the neck or shoulders while his
hands were free. Terrible Terry soon
brought the hugging to an end by bat
tering the ribs of the clincher.
Penalty for Clinching.
The Queensberry code contained a
brief reference to clinching. There
shall be no holding" was the rule bur
there was no penalty for violation. The
walker law is more explicit. 1t declares
that persistent holding" and "holding
and hitting" are foul, and gives the ref
cree authority to penalize offenders. Yet
the boxer who is not holding may hit
with one or both hands even though his
opponent is holding
In the recent Greb-Tunney contest
both violated the Walker law rule by
holding and hitting Tunney was quite
as much at fault as Greb. the only diff
ference being that Greb inflicted greater
punishment at close quarters 1t would
have been unjust to penalize one and not
the other. However, Referee McPart-
land conformed to his tone arm free" in
structions and permitted both men to hit
while holding.
Rough fighters like Greb are eager to
get in close and. while clinching, inflict
severe punishment on an opponent.
Grcb IL His Element.
Beyond doubt had Greb boxed at long
range with Tom Gibbons and Tunney the
Pittsburgher would have been outpointed
and perhaps knocked out in each con-
test Greb is not responsible for the one
arm free rule. and he merely used 1t to
his own advantage. II Carpenter meets
Greb under the one arm free rule the
Frenchman will get the same dose as
Tunney and Gibbons
The contest between Billy Miske and
Capt. Bob Roper at Dyckman Oval to-
night may prove to be one OF the most
Interesting heavyweight bouts seen in
this vicinity in some time. Miske, who
has completely recovered from the ILL
ness that held him back for a period of
two years, is fighting in top form. Roper

NEW BELASCO PLAY
REPRESENTS WORK
OF THEATER CRITIC

A theatrical convention formerly
held that no dramatic critic could
write successful play. The argu-
ment was that the critical faculty
was overdeveloped and the creative
faculty proportionately stunted.
But there are at least two conspicu-
Gus cases on the other side of the
argument. There are more in this
country but that seems a different
story.
The two instances in question are
Alfred Savoir, critic of lie Soir,
Paris, and William Archer, the Lon
don critic. NJ. Savoir has written
two real hits and Mr.. Archer one,
thus far. but both seem on the
way to fresh successes.
Alfred Savoir first came into
authorial prominence by writing
"Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" a farce
that proved its merit last season In
New York, with Ina Claire in the
title role. He now offers with
"Banco." which Mr.. Harris is to
offer for the first time outside of
Its native Paris tomorrow evening
at the Belasco. "Banco" Is light
comedy. but it is marked with much
the same fair for ingenious and
new situations that so distinguished
its predecessor.
Mr.. Archer, by the way, used a
highly commercial bit of material
in his play, but like NJ. Savoir dis
played great style in the writing.
The fact that these men have shown
such ability has encouraged the
managerial powers TO look for more
material from the ranks of the
critics. As concrete example, Mr..
Harris wants a new play for Fay
BANTER, whose East is West" is
now definitely devoted to the
movies. And it is an open secret
that he hopes and expects to get
one from some critic.

OF the thousands OF Americans
pouring into Europe this summer, a
large proportion of them are seeing
the Passion Play at Oberammergau.
In the twelve years since It's last

his devout and sincere portrayal of
the passion of our Lord has lost
nothing of its impressiveness, and

'Blood and Sand''' Offers
A Riot of Spanish Color
Which Rodolph Valentino Displays His
Skill As a Toreador.

More thrills. more color. more

one picture in a long time-that is
the verdict Of all those who have
seen Blood and Sand" the pictur-
ization of the famous novel of the
same name by Vicente Blasco
Ibanez. at Loew's Columbia this
week.
There Is one beautiful scene early
in the picture where Valentino
makes love, in the Spanish way, TO
Lila Lee. He brings a guitar player
with him and sings under her ball
cony. This scene is impressive.
Then there is a scene in a cafe
that gives Valentino a chance to
dance. He is there with a lot of
bullflghters. A Spanis dancer. who
performs in the cafe. dares him to
dance with her and he does. Then
she wants him to kiss her, her face
is repulsive and he throws her into
a corner of leaves. to go see the
only girl he loves. The balcony
scene follows the cafe scene.
The bull fight is immense. There
is a whale of a crowd. a spectacu
lar triumphal entrance, the bull
dashes into the arena. There are
long shots and close-ups that match
exactly and you see Valentino out
there lodging and side-stepping a
real mad bull-splendid shots Of
great footwork-and finally the
killing of the bull. which is sug-
gested and not actually shown.
