Seconds Must 'Dress Up"
The NBA board to recommend
retirements for consistent losers
already has been formed. It's men,
bership was not announced, to pre-
vent pressure from fight managers
but Heinie Miller, chairman of the
local commission, is on that board.
AS starter, it is going through
the record book and will list fighters
who have lost many fights. Those
on the list will be barred in the
District anyway, says Heinie, and
in lot of other States, too.
We're going to dress up the
game a little Bit" says Heinie.
Especially with television taking
fights into the homes, it should
be a cleaner sport than we're used
to. Seconds in the ring here from
now on must wear clean shirts-no
more Of that business of r shirts
and suspenders. They'll use better
equipment. And I'm going to see
to it that the seconds here learn
more about their business. If we
have to, We'll conduct school. Why

Illinois Restricts Rinq
Licenses, but Ignores
Temporary Ban
by me A.soe;oisd Press

CHICAGO, Mar. 23.-The Illinois
Athletic Commission plans to bear
down on match-makers applying for
boxing licenses In the State.
The commission, after meeting
yesterday, said 1t would not grant
any new licenses until 1t was "satis-
fled applying match-makers and
their fighters comply with regula-
tons"
This was the only definite action
taken at the meeting, which was
held ostensibly to study q shutdown
of professional boxing until April Z
on request by Gov. Dwight Green.
The commission was warned by
Attorney General George F. Barrett
that a suspension would be illegal.
This produced a stalemate which
remains unbroken.
Sheldon Clark, commission chair
man, said:
I'VE are going along with our
selves on this subject which does
not mean we are not needing the
Governors request nor the Attorney
Generals opinion.
THE Governor previously said he
did not want to work any hardship
or cause any financial loss to peo-
pie previously committed to bouts
before he asked the suspension"
Permission was given Promoters
Jack Begun and Irv Schoenwald to
hold their weekly show at Marigold
Garden in Chicago next Monday
night.
Clark explained the promoters
had longtime "contractural' agree
ment for their shows and were thus
not affected by the commission
breakdown on new license applica-
tions.
The threat Of direct court action
should a suspension be approved
was lifted when promoters of a
Chicago bout scheduled March 81
between Sugar Ray Robinson and
George Abrams asked for a post
ponement until April 81. Previously
the promoters, Irving Kovin and
Mitchell Sander, had threatened
court action If the ban were de-
clared.
Kovin said the postponement was
necessary because Robinson suf-
