FkGTIONS
FIGHT FOR
CONTROL
BY JACK DEMPSEY

The finest thing that could
happen for boxing would be II all
the various commissions could get
toaether, from one governing
body, and that dominate the
sport throughout the United
States.
Ia some earlier article have
advocated that. reiterate 1t
now simply because, as time
goes on, the existence OF what
might be called rival commits
sions continues to create situa'
tions in the game that generally
act AGAINST betterment.
Until the National Boxing AS
sociation has linked UP with the
New York and other so-called In.
dependent commissions and until
rules are made that are com
pletely enforceable, everywhere
In the U. s. A. affairs within
boxing will continue to be some
what scrambled,
Those who love the game
insist that the failure Of q
merging Of all commissions
under one supreme control
naturally leads to farcical
situations.
Joe Doakes may be regarded
as q champion by the N. B. A.
but, at the same moment, the
New York or other independant
bodies each may recognize some
other man as that champion.
Therefore, we live in fiStic
era where there are In some
classes of pugilism as many
champions as there are independ.
el1t governing bodies.
That makes it tough on match
makers, promoters, and also the
VANS. Geography decides for
them who is champion. If they
live In New York, Willie Smith
is q champion. If their home is
In Chicago or Ohio, Tommy
Jones is the official titleholder
and Willie maybe nothing but q
hohunk second rater. So it goes
and has been going.
I've heard 1t said that the N
3. A. which controls the game ir
about 26 States, frequently has
tried to get New York and the
other independents lined up with
them to form enc truly national
association. And also I've heard
it said that New York has done
q bit Of high-hatting and won't
join the N. B. A. There are
other recitals to the effect that
the N. B. A. is at fault because it
clingS to rules which the New
York Commission thinks are un.
