REPRESENTATIVE MacGregor
of New York has introduced
~ a bill in Congress establish
ing a boxing commission for the
District of Columbia. This writer
is not inclined to go into mysteries
over a commission form OF gov
eminent of anybody or anything
which includes the city govern
ment of the National Capital IT.
self, but making boxing open to
all would be a good thing Tor
Washington.
The Bill would create a three
headed commission Of DlstrlcC
residents. They would receive no
pay whatever, their terms being
for two years. That it would ap-
pear to this writer, would BE- a
weakness. If the commission, or
at least the chairman, is worth
anything, he should be paid &C
cordingly. Controlling boxing
which is a legitimate sport loved
by millions, is a ilan's sized task,
make no mistake about that.
II have had in mind for some
time," Representative MacGregor
is quoted as saying, "that the H.
diculous law prohibiting boxing
matches here should be abolished:
1t is a relic of an ignorant and
intolerant age. Boxing appeals to
the manly instincts of every
worthwhile American"
A law permitting boxing under
commission control would prove a
good-sized money maker for the
District, too, by the way. The
commission could see that compe-
ttiion would be restricted to quail
ity rather than quantity, conflict
ing dates being barred at all
times.
Every young man donning the
khaki in 1917 was TAUGHT Box
ING. Most of those young men
still like to watch it, even though
not continuing the sport for them
selves. This writer sincerely
hopes that Congressman Mac

by clubs In the building of theil
courts. Tennis has a standardized
court, so has handball, but un
fortunately the y. M. G. AS and
athletic clubs usually place courts
wherever they have room for them
and build accordingly. This in turn
develops different types of players
and consequently the so-called ma
tional tournaments do not always
provide an accurate test to the re-
spective merits of the contenders.
This Is unfortunate, but clubs
are gradually awakening to the
injustice Of this method and q
happy departure from the usual
haphazard system is noted in the
construction of the new courts az
the Cleveland Y where the Last
National tourney was held. These
courts. while smaller than the pre-
scribed size 81 so feet, neverthe-
less are of ideal build, especially
for singles play and are certain
to be copied widely.
Coast athletes during the last
three wears have ranked supreme in
handbalI. In 1928 Red Murray, of
San Francisco, representing tie

ship at St. Paul. but in 1924 May.
,nard Laswell took the title at Los
Angeles and repeated again in 1925
at Cleveland, being the first payer
in the history of the game to win
the title twice.
This gives you an idea OF what
Ia demanded of a player in a week s
grind. Laswell lie a strong, swo'
handed athlete with a world Of re-
serve. II was this stamina which
brought him through a winner over

1921, was one of the greatest
players the game ever produced.
Haedge learned handball while at
Minnesota University, where he
starred at football and baseball.
During the period of 1919 to 1921
he was invincible.
Milwaukee, mainly through the
interest of T. J. Larkin, athletic
director of the Milwaukee A. c.,
has always been a pronounced con.
tender for i1onors.
At Chicago, Louis Nelson. or the
Kimrock Club, is the accredited
champion, while in Detroit, Joe

the recognized leaders.

Just More Stiffness.
rTERE'S some more Stiffness

- hoxinO commission.

THERE'S some more Stiffness
from the New York State
- boxing commission.
Tex Richard, acting upon sug-
gestions from thousands of the
patrons of his new Madison
Square Garden, asked the commits
sion to permit smoking during the
shows. Here's what the commits
sion's secretary, Bert Sand, sand
in explaining the denial of Rick
ards appeal:
Smoking is distasteful to the
commission and we see no reason
why we should make any excep-
ton in the case of Madison
Square Garden"
What cares the commission of
three men that 5000 citizens of
New York desire to smoke while
watching John Jones smash Willie
Smith on the beezer? Smoking is
"distasteful to the commission -
that's all there is to it, so the
5000 are refused permission to
smoke.
No, this writer has no boost
for commission form of govern
ment, but Washington would be
benefited just the same, if it had
public boxing controlled by a
commission rather than boxing
only for members of clubs.
