AL Finkbeiner. amateur boxing
matchmaker, has signed up a lot
of fighters lately that have failed
to show up for their scheduled ap-
pearances.
1t is discouraging to the fight ian
to go to the bouts expecting to SEE
a certain we'll publicized fighter
and then watch couple of dubs go
through the motions.
It seems to us that Finkbeiner
could sign up fighters that would
appear for the bouts.
Penalties should be inflicted on
fighters that pull runouts. If this
practice is allowed to continue 1t
will soon become useless to publish
the card. Perhaps we could run an
article something like this:
Tuesday nights matches, Il ev-
erything pans out OK. will pro
vide plenty of action, thrills and
real mixing. We will not announce
the card now, however. because by
Tuesday night one wouldn't rceog
nize the lineup anyway.
A group of seconds, that worked
one of the fights Tuesday night
threw a towel into the ring when
their man began to take a licking
and Bill Tackett took time out to
lay down the law to the boys.
1t is against all rules and regula-
tions for a second to throw towel
into the ring. The referee knows
better than anyone else whether or
not the fight should be stopped and
if seconds could do the officiating
refs wouldn't have to be hired.
