suspension. Nat Fleischer. editor
of Ring Magazine" one of the
best-informed men in the busi-
ness, says many third-rate boxers
fight several times a week under
aliases.
To correct such evils, Fleischer
and Greene believe that the Aus
tralian system of complete periodic
checkups would help.
The average fan, however, has
suggestions which go far be-
yond anything boxing 8 higher
ups have considered.
In the first place the various
state commissions - the NBA and
the Eastern group - should drop
their youthful feuding and jealous
isolationism. A fighter banned in
one state should automatically be
barred in all others.

fights, Mouzon's career would not
have been cut short.
Sufficient ring padding, covered
ropes and covered rope posts should
be provided. Referees who are lax
in awarding a technical knockout
when a man has been badly bat
tered should be suspended. Pre-
fight examinations should be thor
ough, and boxers should not be
allowed to compete until suffi-
GENTLY rested after previous bout.
One step in the right direction
was proposed in the Massachusetts,
State Legislature in November by
Representative Charles D. Driscoll.
Attributing a large number of ring
injuries to the "laxity" of current
regulations, he urged legislation to
prohibit boxers from fighting more
than once a week.
The main burden of reform,
however, must lie with the state
boxing commissions. If they fail
to take necessary remedial action,
they will be held responsible by
the American sporting public. Box

its athletes. The End

CHICAGO - (FP) = Some 400 American Legion posts which make up the Cook County Council lashed the legion's na- tional executive committee last week for committing .the vet erans organization to an antilabor position.
 The council statement referred to certain 'sill-advised'' resolutions passed by the top committee last November at Indianapolis and ask ed that they be rescinded.
 These resolutions indorsed compul- sorry arbitration of labor disputes and urged Congress to pass restrictive legislation against unions charging in itiation fees and assessments.
