Despite indictments for MUIR

have been held in the Augusta

Would Lift
Foul Hazard
From Boxing
Illinois Commission Strives
to Give Ring Fans Better
Protection.
BY BERT NJ. DENNY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 16.--The Illinois
boxing commission has set about to
add to the refinement of the pro-
fession Of fighting by eliminating
the foul" hazard.
The commission believes that a
spectator, who pays to see a fight,
does not receive his moneys worth
when a match is stopped, because
Of a foul.
Rule Is Sought
With this idea in mind, Paul
Prehn. of the commission, seeks a
rule which would make it difficult
for a fighter to win or lose on a foul.
Then, too, the belief was ex-
pressed that as long as fights are
won or lost on fouls, the general
refinement of the boxing profession
will be delayed. However, Prehn
is puzzled as to how to word his
ruling.
Uregs Rest Be Given
Many times" Prehn said, "the
public is cheated out of seeing a
good fight by a hasty foul ruling. We
think it is better for the referee to
consult with the judges, who in turn
shall consult with doctor, before a
ruling is made.
There are times when a fighter,
if given a short rest, is perfectly
competent to continue. One of
the best things that can happen to
the boxing profession would be the
elimination of the foul OF course
if a man is deliberately fouled he is
entitled to the fight, but those cases
are few"

iStence.
Commemorate progress in this di-
rection was being made until Mr..
Tilden, who was among those pres
ent at the recent executive meeting,
arose in blazing indignation and
withered the debating officials with
one devastating glover.
Following which, the motion to
purge the game of tennis of the
dirty look was hastily tabled. Mr..
Tilden was asked to believe that no
personal affront had been intended
and that the entire affair was Moth
ing more than g humorous gesture.
This means that Mr.. Tilden,
whose consumnate virtuosity as
a dirty locker is unmatched by
any native born dirty locker, will
be unhampered in his court activ-
tiles next summer, ard that when
ever a well meaning but slightly
astigmatized side-line official hap
pens to call ono wrong he must
expect to pay the frightful pen
atty. And undoubtedly win.
NF course the dirty look is not
~ the exclusive prerogative of Mr..
Tilden. 1t is in facS more or less
CT common property and is rather
generously used by the better bred
racqueteers. Peculiarly, it sup
posedly represents a high form of
SpQrtsmanship.
Made the recipient of what he
thinks an undeserved point, the
player turns his provoked eyes full
upon the offending official, as if to
say, great heavens man, what ais
you," and then. assured by now of
the gallery's admiring attention, he
proceeds to give the point back to
his opponent by driving the ball
over the grand stand, or taking a
: vicious bite out of it.
This all is very nice in its way.
The element of equity is admittedly
there, and custom apparently has
stripped the procedure of what
might otherwise be interpreted as
mock heroics. The only criticism is
that it makes a mug of the officials.
Indeed, it comes close to publicly
insulting them.
