OUT

LIBERTY
Huge Campaign on for Ten
and TweIve-Round Fights
to Be LOCALIZED

Once more the followers Of the
)oxing game in California are going
to make an effort to pass a law
egalizing the sport so that contests
If ten and twelve rounds will, be
permitted. The matter is in charge
Of Harry F. Morrison, member of
the assembly, and will come UP for
a vote OF the people at the No
Vmeber election.
Morrison has gone into the mat
ter very thoroughly, adopting the
same methods as were used in Wis
:onsin in 1912, when the law be-
came effective through the efforts
of Judge A. ]. Hedding. At that
time, thousands of registered voters
were signed to a monster petition
and that Is what Morrison has done:
he has secured nearly 100, 900 names
Of registered voters asking for the
passage of law providing for the
establishment Of a State athletic
commission to regulate and control
the boxing game.
The California measure q pat
termed very closely after the New
FORK and Wisconsin laws, except
that 1t would permit decisions in
bouts of ten rounds or less while
the contests Of twelve rounds would
be Of the no-decision variety. To
the outside observer it seems that
it would be more reasonable to ex.
pect decisions In the longer bouts
and none in the shorter ones. Two
judges and a referee would be in
a better position to give a verdict
after twelve rounds Of fighting than
where the boxers had mixed 1t four,
six or eight rounds.
The California followers Of the
boxing game feel that with twelve
rounds they would be in a position
to stage some of the big champion
ship affairs and compete against
the East, especially during the big
winter season, when San Francisco,
Cos Angeles and San Diego would
be, in full swing.
During the past few years, fosir
rounds have been permitted in the
Golden State, but the champions
have. not been allowed to compete.
The fans like the short bouts, but
they would much prefer to have
longer contests where they would
be assured of seeing the best talent
in the world. Reports !, from the
coast State that the outlook for the
passage of the proposed new law is
very favorable.

MARK GRID
SEASON
Western Conference Will Fit
Star into Machine,
Making Him Cog

Football in the Western Confer
ence this year promises to be even
more interesting than in any prev
ious season. The majority OF
coaches in the Big Ten have come
to the same conclusion-that this
year they will develop lighter and
faster teams; that the star will be
only cog in the machine, and that
the football team will be the
dominating factor. The brilliant
player is to be fitted into the
machine rather than the machine
being built around one or two
stars. Such policy is bound to
produce some interesting clashes.
Chicago !, already has laid. its
plans. The fundamentals of the
game are to be stressed, and then
speed Is to be developed. The
coaching staff is pointing to a
well-rounded machine, one that
moves with the precision of an
individual, but one that will have
the power of eleven fast men
moving at the same time and with
the, same purpose in mind. Gone
are the days OF the 'shimmy shift, T"
the trick formation that Coach
Stage devised at Chicago, but
which fooled no one to any appre-
ciable extent.
Illinois, even with reports that
the noted Red Grange Will be back,
also will strive to build the machine
and place the star in II rather
than have Grange carry the attack
and have the other ten players fol-
low as best they can.

Purdue and Indiana as well as
Northwestern are going to strive

has characterized their work in the
past two seasons. 1t is understood

SEPTEMBER BIC
MONTH FOR
SPORTS.
Racing, Tennis, Golf and
Boxing All To Hold
Limelight

The coming month is going to, be
so damned with important sport
ing events that the great portion
OF our citizenry which gives up
much Of it's time to diversion CT
this sort is going to be dizzy trying
to make up its mind what to see.
One thing Is certain-it's going to
be impossible to see them all.
Beginning on September /, there
Will be the big race at Belmont,
with the mighty French thorough
bred, Epinard, matching his speed
with the best on the American
track. This is only one event with
an international flavor. Then there
Will be the polo matches between
Nottingham and Meadow Brook on
September 6, 10 and 10.
The month will fairly reek with
important golf and tennis offerings.
In golf there will be the women's
national amateur, at Providence,
and then comes the Professional
Golfers, Association tournament, at
French Lick Springs, where the in
comparable Hagen will attempt to
wrest the pro laurels from Gene
Sarazen. Cyril Walker also has an
eye on the situation.
Right on the heels Of this mashie
carnival comes the national anna
teur, at Mericn where a whole gal.
axy OF accomplished par golfers
VIII make united onslaught on the
title held by Max Marston.
The month will also TEEN with
tennis thrills. The Davis Cup final
viii be played at Longwood be-
tween Australia and France. The
preliminary matches furnished no
surprises, either here or in the
European zone, but the final prom
.ses much, because the French play
erS are good enough to give the
Australians a hard battle. In fact,
there are many tennis enthusiasts
who expect to see France win and
go into the challenger round with
the United States at Germantown.
Mingled with all these momentous
events are q few boxing bouts,
which will for the time being take
the minds of the populace off
politics and kindred subjects. The
Firpo-Willis soiree will be held at
Boyle's Thirty Acres, in Jersey City,
on September IL, and the collision
between these two should please the
finer sensibilities Of those who de-
light in the exposition Of the print,
tive. At the present time the
Argentinian is a slight favorite, but,
as the folks who have been visiting
at Saratoga know. this is not a
bright season for favorites.
Then there win be the much.
heralded clash between Benny
Leonard and Mickey Walker at the
Yankee Stadium on September FL.
According to Promoter Johnston,
the demand for tickets for this at.
fair has already reached a high
mark, and he will not collapse with
heart failure IL the gate reaches the
half-million limit. Another cham
pionship affair will be the Villa.
Genaro flyweight wrangle at Hend.
erson's Bowl on September 4, which
should settle once and for all the
long -drawn-out controversy between
these two midget scrappers.
The Washington times., 1924-08-28

The three then began to figure
what they'd do with THEIR MAN
after he knocked Dundee loose
from his laurels.
They figured on a trip to
Europe, they figured on movie
contracts and so on.
Going out onto the street then,
where the sun was shining bright
er than ever, one Of the trio bought
an evening paper. He took slant
at the sport page. The others took
a slant with him. There was a
terrible scream as three bodies
hit the sidewalk.
The headline in the paper read:

that Shade had much the better

he staggered the Southerner with
several stiff wallops. Still, he was
probably lucky to get draw. When
Shade came West word was sent
Leo Flynn that ], if he valued
Dawes chances for a match with
either Leonard or Walker he had
better duck any bouts in Oakland.
Either have your own referee or

flashed to the New York manager.
Flynn replied that of course he

would give him these things, and
that Shade would devote his at

Colima, Shade met house fighter

that Duffy does in Oakland.
