ing knowledge to hold those Offices.
Odd Ruling Against Shuck.
1t is possible Morris memory is q
trif1e faulty when he accuses Miller of
choking his chances of being referee
again. He forgets. perhaps. that in
stance when he was minutes late for
his assignment on the police benefit
card last year. Fighters stood idly
in the ring and fans beloved for ac-
ton. Morris says he wouldn't take
orders and his failure to be on time
perhaps was illustrative of his inde-
pendence.
He forgets, perhaps, another case
when he ignored the bell and counted
out one Larry Shuck of New York.
Shuck, fighting in preliminary
against Buddy Scott, was hoored in the
third round.
The bell ended the round at
the count of eight. but Morris
continued the count to 10 and
waved Shuck out"
Finally, he was persuaded the bell
is oflcial in such matters. Such in
stances have served to make Morris
a colorful official, but the District
Boxing Commission also places a GER
tain emphasis on competence.
Muggsy's most serious trouble with
the commission. which makes a prac-
tice Of backing up its officials, occurred
in March Of last year in the District
A. A. U. tourney, when the commits
sion reversed one of his decisions. It
has been the only reversed decision
since the legalization Of boxing here.
Names Two Winners of Bout.
On that occasion Morris stopped
the bout in the third round when Jim
Koustenas was dropped for no count
and awarded the scrap to Eddie
Saugsted by a technical knockout
Probably swayed by the protest Of the
crowd and Koustenas. Morris then
ordered the bout to continue. That
was a unique procedure.
Matt Twomey. Saugsted's coach,
Immediately hoped into the ring and
refused to allow his charge to con-
tinue. feeling the bout officially had
been terminated. Morris then awarded
the bout to Koustenas. due to Twomeys
interference. This despite that Morris
himself and Judge Jim Sullivan al
ready had written "Saugsted T. K. O.
3" on their scoresheets, naming Saug-
Sted the winner. Twomey protested
and was upheld by the commission.
Morris is colorful Any doubt of
that was erased when he ofIiciated at
Catholic University in collegiate
match.
Muggsy forgot to duck, ab-
sorbed = neat right on his chin
and slumped to the canvas. the
only local referee ever to be
kayoed.
That is a unique, if dubious, distinc-
ton.
Morris penchant for popping of
may have handcuffed his hope of
reinstatement. He Is reported to have
said that Miller is the District Boxing
Commission and is surrounded by
stooges. It is possible the District
Boxing Commission will hot force him
to be affiliated with those so-called
'stooges" again.
Evening star., 1938-07-29

y
Muggsy allegedly accuses Miller Of sur
rounding himself with ''stooges" +"
Among these so-called "stooges" are
the superintendent of police, former
president of the Washington Board Of
Trade, a hotel and restaurant owner
recognized as one Of the villages lead
ing sportsmen, two outstanding doc
tors, a colonel in the Marine Corps
and lieutenant in the United States
Navy.
Rather an impressive list Of
Charley McCarthys.
Morris hardly is leading candidate
for the diplomatic corps. While
silence perhaps would have served to
enhance his chances of refereeing
here again. Mugg5y seems to nave
elected to exercise the right of free
speech in allegedly stamping the Dis
trict Boxing Commission as a trio of
puppets being maneuvered by Miller.
Rather indiscreet. for that trio will
pass on or refuse his bid for reinstate-
ment. 1t also was unfair.
Miller Experienced in Game.
Miller's capacity solely is an ad-
visory one. That he is called on to
advise frequently and at length largely
has been instrumental in keeping the
boxing industry on high level here
He never offers an official opinion I'M
less it is requested by Maj. Ernest W.
Brown, Claude w. Owen and Fred
Buchholz, members of the commission
In his role of adviser Miller is a
capable man, backed by approximately
35 years experience in the game. 1t
is possible Maj. Brown. with the more
demanding duties of supervising the
Police Department; Mr.. Owen, presid-
ing over large plumbing firm. and Mr.
Buchholz. running a hotel and restau-
rant. aren't as familiar with the box
ing business as Miller.
Thus, on occasions, they seek
advice from a man whose buSi-
ness chiefly is boxing.
Miller's scope is not confined to the
District, for he currently is serving rs
chairman of the National Boxing As
sociation Ratings Committee. a rather
important office. He doubtless will

West Side Beats Detroit.
Although Konrad lost, the West

Detroit Rowing Club and the Toronto
Dons and qualified for another when
their junior eight won its heat over
Fort William. The Wyandotte (MichJ

event in winning the other heat.
Wyandotte qualified a boat in the
finals of the 140-pound junior eights,
finishing second in a three-boat race
to the Hamilton Leanders. Frank
Van Derkar of the Detroit Rowing
Club won his heat in the junior 140-
pound singles and qualified for the

before the Christmas holidays,
Wayne Ambrose, tow-headed for

Ambrose, in four games, has

campaign, to break the existing
mark he set in 1886, by so
points.

points, but it is doubtful that the
Terrapin floor ace can catch the

initial profit-taking attracted by
Saturdays sharp rise.
Trading was at an active pace,
and the high7speed ticker slipped
two minutes behind for a time
under the sudden influx of new
buying orders. Gains running to
more than two points we're chalked
up, in contrast to the general list
of fractional losses prevailing in
the initial half-hour.
LEADERS IN RALLY
Aviations, steels, coppers. motors
and chemicals we're leaders on the
widespread rally, which was
touched off late in the first hour.
Douglas spurted two points,
Boeing almost as much and United
Aircraft about a point. Chrysler
jumped more than two in the
motors and General Motors half
as much. American Smelling,
Anaconda and Kennecott con-
verted fractional losses into gains.
United States Steel, after slip
ping "a at the start, recovered for
a net gain of almost point. Beth
lehem also was down 7s, but
changed this to a gain of more
than a point later.
CHEMICALS RISE
Allied Chemical and Air Reduc-

dupont one in the chemicals;
Case converted a two-point loss
into an equal gain and Inter
national Harvester climbed two
in the farm implements; Atchison
was up point and other rails
fair-sized fractions; Eastman Ko-
dak and Westinghouse each adj
vanced 2, and Standard of Cali
fornia led a strong oil list with a
