All of those accused in connection
with the alleged "frame-up" of the
championship match between Bat
tling Sikh and Georges Carpenter are
mitted to the French boxing fedora
tion by the committee which has
been investigating the charges.
Contents OF the Report.
The report says: The committee
match on September "a n922) was
not preceded by an understanding,
the object of which was to arrange
the events of the match and fix the
results"
The investigators express regret
that certain circumstances have
given weight to the accusations in
recommend that the federation in
the future take steps to have its
regulations strictly applied. SO that
announcements of purses will not be
made which fail to correspond with
the contracts signed by the boxers,
and proper order will be maintained
around the boxing rings.
The French boxing federation. in
accepting the report of the investi-
cation committee, declares that the
fight between Sikh and Carpenter
was not preceded by any irregular
and the result was in accordance
with regular ring procedure.
Clears All the Principals.
The decision of the investigating
committee clears Skis former man

RING BUREAU, STANDARD
SET OF RULES FAVORED

NEW YORK, January 16.-Creation
of a national boxing registration bu-
reau, to act as a clearing house for
information on professional pugilists,
and adoption of a standardized code
were favored by delegates attending
the third annual convention of the
National Boxing Association, which
represents boxing commissions in
eighteen of twenty-one states and
five foreign countries where the sport
is legaliZed.
Both proposals were referred to
committees to be reported for action
today.
The association took no action on a
suggestion that it seek to prevent the
proposed return bout for the world
heavyweight championship between
Jack Dempsey and Jess Willard, on
the ground that the latter is not a fit
opponent for the champion.
Every professional boxer would be
required to register with the bureau,
at a cost not to exceed SO, and would
be given an Identification card, which
would serve as a passport" to en-
gagements anywhere in the country.
The plan would include distribution
of detailed Information on all boxers
and weekly bulletins on results of
fights.
