COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD

NEW YORK. Feb 2s.-James A
tAuthority) Farley steps out of the
New York state athletic commits
sion today TO become the postmas-
ter general under the Roosevelt
regime. If he handles the mail like
he did boxing. you'll soon be able to
drop a letter in the box in Ban
gor. Me, in the morning. and have
it delivered in Calcutta around
dark the same day
Farley was a boxing commission
er to end all commissioners. AS a
matter of fact that's Just what he
did, for when he assumed the
chairmanship in 1924 the other
commissioners became every bit az
important as the sleeves on a vest
Their only contribution has been
to prove that yes can be pronounced
in all languages, including the
Scandinavian. Many attribute
William Muldoon's longevity to the
exercise gained by nodding appro-
val TO Farley's every recommended
ton at the bi-weekly sessions.
The manner in which Farley as
sumed the Craftsmanship is fair
example of the manner in which
the man works. When he was ap-
pointed commissioner some nine
years ago, one George Brewer was
chairman In less than year Far
ley ousted him Brewer had the
idea his job was permanent and
was puzzled.
We're rotating the job" Farley
explained.
A year later Farley was reelected.
II thought the chairmanship was
being rotated Brewer said.
We've qui9 rotating it," Farley
replied.
To Hold Reins
Now that Farley is stepping out,
who will get the chairmanship?
General Phelan, probably, but he's
likely to be boss in name on. For
its bald eagles to clay pigeons that
Farley will continue to run mat
ters from Washington. He likes
boxing and likes the publicity and
power that go with the job.
IL Will Ut SoOQ lliIiB lOl eAiS
game if Farley does continue TO
hold the whip hand, for while box
ing is still far from being a sweet
and lovely business, it has improved
immeasurably since the big sand
and gravel man and maker of pre-
sidents from Hayerstraw took it
over.
Farley's biggest piece of work
was elimination of the foul punch.
While you may argue that this rul-
ing was nothing more than the le-
galizing of the low punch, making
it possible for man to win a fight
with a well aimed out of bounds
shot. there is no getting around the
fact that it saved boxing in this
state. A few more fiascos like those
that prompted the measure, with
gladiators Swooning all over the
place from love taps on the thigh
and boxing would have been a
goner.
Whether it was worth saving is
something else again, and the
question will be reserved for dis
cussion at next Tuesdays meeting OF
the Wednesday afternoon Shake
peare and Canning club. Do try
and be there.
