Though it was done with min imum of effort and received very little publicity; Col. Eddie Eagan, chairman of the New York state athletic commission made one of the most drastic changes in the boxing setup of the worlds best fight town. NO MORE DRAWS. That, in brief is the sum and substance of the sit uation, for Eagan has developed a round by round and FOUR POINT scoring system that comprise two of three STEPS that a referee MUST take in arriving at decision of WINNER and a LOSER. Henceforth, he may not call fight EVEN STE PHEN, many times saving the smart money which has quoted odds of 3 to or better on Smith against Jones. Since last April 16, there has not been a draw decision rendered in any part of New York state as the new Eagan scoring system was quietly put to use.
 However, he has not mentioned
 the REAL FLY IN THE OINT-
 MENT of New York boXing-the
 JUDGES! Some of them are no
 more competent to judge a box
 ing bout than pass on the canine
 qualities of Doberman-Pinscher
 (dog, to youse, Fauntleroy).
 First, the referee gives a nod to
 the boxer winning the larger num-
 of rl, T'
 on the referees card; he must add
 POINTS; the man with the larger
 number getting the decision. And
 if the points come out even, he
 must give the decision to the box
 CT, in the better PHYSICAL CON-
 OPTION at the finish of the fight.
 Should the referee be unable to
 make a pick at that point, he
 might as well take the next plane
 for Barren Island
