The editor of the Waterbury Democrat called attention in his editorial of Saturday the death of Martin J Nc Evoy the part he played in the World War He of those citizens who fought the at home And what fine job he did of it. He in charge of military enroll the Tower recalls been any exceptional mention of the va able service he performed in this stead But the who worked side by side with him. and city and state officials
 who handled his records know the immense amount of time the meticuous and the patience he used in fulfilling duties placed his shoulders in the interest of Un Sam When you to figure out and search back nt5 the records Martin McEvoy supervised the of almost 10000 male residents of Waterbury and that in not much more time than month It was fine tribute to his in dofabe will to get things done and done we'll His should figure prominently always in Waerburys part in the World war.

Boxing Commissioners By Congressional Act
Face Difficult Task Regulations InvOLued
Only Three Rules Made Take Time to COnupiLe
By KIRK MILLER

Washington faces an excel
lent opportunity to establish
q model system Of boxing con-
troll in view Of the minimum
Of restrictions with which the
three D. c. Boxing commits
Sioners who were sworn in TO-
day are surrounded.
According to the infant law
signed by President Roosevelt
April "a, from which time in
cidentally the three commits
sioners' terms of office date,
but three specifications are
laid out for the guidance of
the board. Every other rule
and regulation is in the hands
of the commissioners who have
a rare chance to bring into
existence not only the most
modern ideas relating to box
ing, but the most fool-proof.
Outside Of stating that no
glove less than eight ounces
in weight shall be used in
Washington and that rounds
Of not more than three minutes
shall obtain with one-minute
rest periods between rounds, the
D. C. boxing commissioners are
in no way hampered in the task
Of adopting bylaws which shall
govern the sport here.
Many Rules Involved
The qualifications Of the
persons or groups who will be
issued licenses to promote is
not defined, but must be
agreed upon by the commits
sionerS.
The ages Of boys who will
be permitted to compete in
either amateur or professional
ranks Is to be established.
The minimum age Of specta-
tors is also a matter upon
which the commission will
have to decide.
Regulations as to the mum"
ber of rounds that may OBJ
tain in championship or non
championship bouts Is a mat.
ter to be fixed.
Some Of the Headaches
And specific regulations hav.
ing to do with the following
phases Of boxing are all to be
troned out and adopted before
q single boxing show can be
staged here:
Fighters using assumed names.
Bandaging Of fists
Wagering on fights.
Bond to be made by pro-
moters.
Foul rulings.
Injury and illness Of con-
teStantS.
Weighing-in time.
Instructions for time keepers.
The Washington times., 1934-05-08

Substitutions on fight cards.
Contracts and forfeitureS.
Equipment to be used, such as
size Of ring, ropes, dimension Of
gong, apparel Of fighters, scales,
water buckets, etc.
Qualifications Of inspectors,
judges, referees and announcers.
Rulings on knockdownS.
Liability insurance.
Physical Examinations
Physical examinations of con.
testants.
Time limit between bouts.
Safety and order regulations.
Report of the referee.
Ticket regulations for public
and press.
Dressing room provisions.
Managers and seconds duties
and restrictions.
Hour of reporting by con.
teStants before bouts.
Sham or fake contests, with.
holding Of purses etc.
1ntroductions from ring.
Smoking within enclosed
arenas.
Scoring Of decisions.
Compensation for boxers and
ring officials.
Those are few Of the head
aches" which will come to the
local boxing board and which
will have to be coped with
within the next few weeks.
A Real Responsibility
A glance at these tangling
problems which present them.
selves before boxing here can
get under way establishes pretty
thoroughly that getting a box
ing law adopted for Washington
was only a part of the job
started on Capitol Hill and
handed into the laps of the
fight commissioners by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
Yet, there were 20 or 80 &C.
tual candidates to undertake
the tasks, some of which are
outlined above. Four known
men, who were not candidates,
had the temerity to turn down
the appointments.
In view of the involved issues
which must be faced, Messrs.
Fred Buchholz and Lucian Van
doren, together with Major Er.
nest w. Brown, will have to
give their new posts wide at
tention within the next month
in order for boxing hereaboutS
to enjoy any kind of an out
door season at all. It will prob
ably be at least three weeks be-
fore complete boxing rules can
be decided upon and printed
and distributed along with ap-
plications for licenses, permits,
etc.

PROMPTS
DEAL
BY GARRETT WATERS

Relief for the catching situation
was gained by the Washington
Griffmen today as President CLARK
Griffith announced the purchase
of Eddie Phillips, experienced
catcher of the Chattanooga Club,
of the Southern League.
Phillips, a 30-year-old backstop.
has been ordered to report to the
Griffmen Immediately. The
veteran won't be able to make his
actual appearance until Thurs
day, however, as he is now in New
orleans, where the Chattanooga
LookoutS are playing.
The newcomer is the backStop
who substituted commercially for
the New York Yankees two years
ago when Catcher Bill Dickey was
suspended 80 days for his run.in
with Carl Reynolds. then a star
outfielder with the Griffmen. He
came to the Yanks from the
Newark Club, of the international
League.
He is a dependable catcher and
should fill the bill in great style
for the Griffmen until Luke
Sewell or Moe Berg are ready to
return to action. Berg had to re-
tire from action yesterday, follow
ing an injury to his leg.

Leg Strained

The veteran pulled a muscle
in his right leg, and although he
was willing to continue in the
game, found out later in the
clubhouse that his injury was so
painful that it'll be several days
before he will be able to resume
his place behind the bat.
Naturally this new turn Of af.
fairs is blow to the Griffmen.
For Moe has carried on in great
style in Sewell's absence, both
behind the plate and as a bat
ter.
AS a fielder, Berg's perform
ance has been Well-nigh flawless.
His lone error was in a game
against the Philadelphia AS at
Philadelphia two weeks ago.
when he dropped a foul pop fly
off the bat of Eric McNair.
At bat Moe has more than
held his own for a catcher known
not to be a slugger. Actually. the
records tell, he's sauntered to
the plate 50 times in II games,
scored three runs and whacked
out Is hits for an average Of
.279. And before Sunday Moe
had hit in 10 consecutive games,
being stopped by Sad Sam Jones,
veteran hurler Of the Sox. Then,
yesterday, he began again by
Socking out his double.
Klumpp Gets Call
Klumpp, the Chattanooga
rookie, will be the Griffs' back
stop until Berg's return. At
least this was Manager Joe Gro
nin's plans today, as he stated
the veteran Luke Sewell is still a
week or so away from getting
back into regular action.

The two machines crashed on
the highway about a mile north
west of Wheeler.
The complaint continues that
there were four persons sitting in
the single seat of the Larson truck
so Larson was unable to drive in
a proper manner and he was oper-
ating the machine at an excessive
speed.
