SEEK LONGER FIGHTS

CHICAGO, January 3 CP).-A bill to
legalize 15-round bouts when cham
pionships are at stake will be submitted
to the Illinois State Legislature when
1t convenes Monday.
Since the return of legalized boxing
to Illinois, all boxing matches, profess
sional and amateur, have been restrict
ed to 10 rounds. Several leaders in the
ring sport, headed by Gen. John v.
Clinnin, chairman of the State Athletic
Committee and president of the Ma
tional Boxing Commission, drafted the
new bill and were confident of its pas
sage.
Fifteen-round matches in champion
ship tests not only are necessary to
Chicago's success in obtaining title
fights but are more satisfactory, Gen.
Clinnin said.
