STATE RIVALS
 TO TRY AGAIN
 ON AUGUST 9TH
MucIl-D Discussed Bout Is Booked for 8 Rounds
 After WrangIe

Hartford, July 25 - Because Jimmy (oaspipe) vaccola can talk louder than Lou viscusi, Bobby Ivy, and Angelo Radano will go eight rounds in their rematch at the Bulkley Stadium Tuesday night, August 5.
 Viscusi held out for ten rounds and for time 1t appeared that the match was of. But "Gaspipe," re- gently reinstated into the good graces of the State Athletic Com mission, finally shouted Viscusi down and the bout was set for an eight round maximum.
 Radano has never been beyond the eight round limit, despite nu- merous star bout appearances in Bridgeport and New Haven His handlers feel he is still too young to be fighting ten-rounders. The shorter distance favors Radano, since Ivy is a slow starter.
 RadanO heavier
 Ivy is risking some prestige in meeting Radano, s5r Sfle latter is 8 full-grown lightweight, while Ivy is at his best at the ofilcial feather weight poundage of 126 pounds. However, Bobby soundly thrashed Angelo in their New Haven bout, only to have Referee Jim Peters give Radano teh decision. That was the one that brought an athletic commission hearing, the result of whcih Peters was relegated to un- important semi-prO oouts for six months.
 The confusion over the offlcial verdict notwithstanding, that first Ivy-Radano fight was a whirlwind of exciting action. The rematch on paper is one of the best bouts book ed for Hartford this season.
 The hearing that followed the first Ivy-Radano fight resulted in an attempt to clarify the rules re- garding knockdowns. Ivy knocked Radano down and Refere Peters spent considerable time shifting Ivy from one corner to another be- fore starting the count over the Norwalk battler.
 Yesterday the State Athletic Commission announced changes in the wording of two paragraphs of its rules, as follows:
 "The tenth paragraph of the pro- fessional rules of the Connecticut Athletic Commission headed Ref erees,' approved by Governor John H. Trumbull, on August Il, 1923, is amended to read as follows:
 Ref Can Stop Count
 The referee shall, before each bout, call contestants together for final instructions, at which time each contestant shall be accom- panied by his chief second only. He shall sate that all contests shall be conducted under the Marquis of such rules conflict with the rules of the commission.
 The fifteenth paragraph of the said section, headed Referees is amended to read as follows:
 When Q contestant is down, his opponent shall retire to the farthest corner and remain there until the count is completed or the opponent has risen to a standing position. Should he fail to do so, the referee may cease counting until he has so retired"
