No Decision Bouts Would
Solve Squabbles Locally

with many unpopular decisions
handed out during the past few
months at fights that have been
staged here. there is nothing better
left for the conservative critic to pro-
pose than the idea of giving no de
cisions at all. No decision bouts would
undoubtedly prove popular here
inasmuch as decision contests have
proven rather unpopular and feath.
cred things in the way of pillows. as
well as much harder articles OF fur
niture. have been tossed at the head
of the latest referee who was unfor-
tunate enough to go against the tide
of popular opinion.
When Mike Gibbons was brought
here June s. it was thought that sure
ly there was a man whose decision
would go uncontested. but witness
the Arlos Fnnning-otto Wallace bout
in which Gibbons thought Tanning to
deserve the decision. and n large part
OF the crowd thought the other way.
Then came the climax in which Cliff
Larch gave Harvey Perkins a de-
cision yer Hughie Walker here
August 4. Larch had everything

coming in his direction and had to
be helped out OF the ring by friends
to keep from being severely injured
by the irate fans who opposed his
decision.
There is no earthly reason for crab
bling about the intent of the referees
that ave been present at the bouts
here. 1t may be presumed that they
tried to be just in their decisions.
but that is neither here nor there
when It comes 10 n showdown. As
long rs Casper fight fans desire to
referee the bout in the end anyway
why not let them referee It in the
first place so far as awarding the
laurels Ia concerned.
No-decision fights are the only hope
Of saving tho boxing game in Casper.
With any further arguments over the
Justice of those who are staging
bouts here fighters will steer clear of
the city. This is hardly desired and
in order to assure the contenders that
they will receive fair treatment and
that the critics around the ring will
be the only Judges. Casper should
embrace the ~no-decision idea.
