By the Associated Press.

~ HICAGO, February 24.-Thai
the Illinois State Athletic Com
" mission proposes to rule boxing
with an iron hand, has been
indicated by the indefinite suspension
of Davie Miller, one of Chicago's rank
ing referees, for failure to explain an
error in totaling his score card after
the Leo Lomski-James j. Braddock
bout at the Coliseum January z.
The bout was declared draw, with
one judge voting for Lomski, the other
for Braddock, and Miller's card marked
draw" Eleven days later, however,
the commission announced Lomski as
the winner, following an investigation
of Miller's card, which when properly
totaled, gave the edge to the Aberdeen,
Wash, light heavyweight.
Miller was invited, on three occa-
sions, to appear and explain the error
in the addition of points, but refused
to do so, the commission then suspended
him. Miller, after the al day" decision
was made, told newspapermen that
Precipitation had blurred the figures on
his card, and that he had not had an
opportunity to recheck 1t before the
announcers grabbed it from him.
