New York, Dec 6--iP)-There will
be no more handshaking to interrupt
the bruising business of fisticuffing
in New York state, the state athletic
commission decided today.
Holding that the manly art" of
pumueling has been marred by an
excess of politeness. the board issued
an edict that boxers hereafter must
stick strictly to the task of cutting
without coUrtesies. Referees will
warn all contestants that only two
handshakes win be permitted, one
before the bumpers go forth to bat
tie, the other after the business has
been finished.
The ruling bans a practice long
prevalent in the ring certain ele-
ment has received as a display of
sportsnanship the handshakes which
have followed minor infractions of
the rules during the heat of conflict.
ut has been merely a gesture it
didn't mean anything and lately there
has been altogether too much of it,
explained Chairman James A Far
ley
William Muldoon. senior member
said, I'VE have been having more
handshaking that fighting: now we
will get a little more fighting Tor a
change"

NREDS' MANAGER
| SAYS THAT PLAYING
MANAGERS ARE DONE

Asheville. N. c., Dec. 7-.P)-The
day of the playing manager in the
major leagues is just about over, in
the opinion of Jack Hendricks, man
ager of the Cincinnati Reds, who is
here attending the meeting of the
Association Of National Baseball
Leagues. Hendricks runs his team
from the bench.
Speaker, Cobb, Sisler and Collins
all went the same year 1.-THE fad
soon wore out" Hendricks said.
"Of course Bucky Harris is still In
but you must remember he won two
pennants in succession. Hornsby
hasn't anything to worry about. His
team won two more games last year
than mine did. That meant he won
the pennant."
Hendricks declared that mana
ger should be on the bench, not or
the field, because manager cannot
play and at the same time manage.
He doesn't as manager, even take
the coach's box.
II have been in this old racket for
| nearly rs years and | always have
been bench manager" he said. 81
| believe when HOrnSby and Harris
| pass out of the big leagues the play
er-manager will have gone forever
| The percentage is against them. Nc
man can judge a game from the out
field, infield, or behind the plate as
well as he can from the bench
| Managing takes quick thinking and
!! a player cannot think about the
game and about strategy at the
same time"
The Reds manager said he had
his team practically in line.

No Hockey League

Portland, Dec. Amy hope officials

This decision eliminates ell chance
of the new ice league which has
teams from Lewiston, Waterville,

the proposition is not known.
Manager Bellanger stated that he
has been at work for the past month

team and that the schedule is now
nearly completed. Had the New Eng

ing sooner, he said, the Westbrook
team might have been in a better po-
