A glance at Waiting's record convinces en that Ilarper has no easy task. Save for th dent chalked up against him by Leonard, Writing's record is brilliant It took; Leonard 14 rounds of the hardest mQllng ha bad ever experienced to con quer him.

There was no hint of sharp practices. rather the bad dedstans were aacribed; to incompetency of the Judsea and laxity of the commlseion in assigning th men to the judging of Important con teats.: CBITICS BErXTSE --"V?:-?:, The commission, however, saw the merits in the omapUtnta made by many Of the . botxer and took means to cor rect. whatever faulta they could find In the operation of the law. - Attempts were made to have many of the prominent sport writers - take- oat licenses and sit in the judges chain. but met with no success., , Then the commission hit upon sound Idea that has been .working well from its start ' - g Several, of the best referees were pre-; vailed upon to take out licenses aa Judges and they have been used outside the ring. Patsy Haley and Kid SacPartlaatd. two well known former boxers; and referees, are doing the best work. When one 'acts In the ring, the oher sits out side as a judge. This plan has worked so well that the boxers and managers believe ft may be the solution." KKGI.A5D HAS KICK" ' - In England many kicks have been made recently - about , the - system , of judging in vogue there now. It seems that the practice of secret balloting has been substituted for th former cus tom -of publicly announcing the decision of each judge and the referee, in the case of, a diaagrement Commenting on this receatly, Sporting Life (London) eaidr "The plain' and simple way is for the master ef ceremonies to collect the Judges papers and if they agree. to make the announcements straight away. If they differ, he should ask the referee for his paper and then, after comparing the three, he should be able to declare the winner by a two-to-one ma jority. The secret ballot, as the new method m'ght be called, hardly seems an acceptable way of solving th sys tem of deciding by referee and judges Jointly, end the sooner it is scrapped the better people will like it A return to th old way of judgment by th referee alone would be no more acceptable still."

Boatoa ke to have Millard parlor with (a table a th first floor. By Henry L. Varrell Tnitd Pww 8taff CorrmpondeDt TVTEW YORK. Jan. 28. Judges at box ll ing contests realiaa that it Is im possible to please everyone. Many time under the boos and the Jeers from :he gallery and the ringside they must be lieve it Impossible to please anyone. New Tork fans have been yelping loudly about the incompetency of the Judges officiating at some of the big fifrhta and several champions say they wilt not box for a decision. O'ROCRKE IXFLAJjrS Tom O'Rourke, veteran fight man ager, wbo la now a member ot the state commission, was asked for hi reason why it was impossible to get Judges that could give some satisfactory decisions. "We think they have been giving con sistently good decisions," he said. "The fault lies in the Judgment of the specta tors. Occasionally even experts will dis agree, but In the majority ot cases trained boxing men will see th same polnta and arrive at the same conclusion. "Th trouble results chiefly when two popular boys are In the ring. On on side of th house ar packed th partisan backers of the one boxer and en the other aid la th following of his op ponent. Each 4 watches hla favorite. They overrate every point th favorite makes and underrate every move of bis opponent They look at it from only one point of view, their favorite baa to win. BETTORS THSORTT3TTLED "Of course, the bettors have to be fig ured in among the disgruntled ones. If professional gamblers lose a bet they'll always howL" O'Rourke suggest a a remedy and as a general Improvement In the game that all the spectators keep score at a boxing contest Ilk baseball fan do at a came. Points should be marked, he said, for aggieeslveness and clean mtting; for clever sparring and good defense and should be subtracted for clinching, foul ing, stalling snd holding when ordered to break. What constitutes points In boxing is outlined In the following taken from th rules of the New Tork commission : POntT f LAW GTTK1T The decision of the Judges shall be baaed primarily on effectiveness, taking into account the following points: L A clean,. forceful hit. landed on any vulnerable part of th body above the belt should be credited In propor tion to its damaging effect, . 2. Aggressiveness is next In Import ance and points should be awarded to the contestant who nffti the action of a round by the greatest number of skillful attacka 3. Defensive work la relatively Im portant and points should be given tor cjeverry avoiding or blocking a blow. 4. Points should be swarded where ring generalship Is conspicuous. 5. It Is advisable to deduct points when a contestant persistently delays ta action of a contest by clinching snd lack of aggressiveness. DECISION OX FOEtTS a. fomus snouia Be deducted lor a foul even though it is unintentional and not of a serious enough nature to warrant disqualification. 7. A contestant should be riven credit for aportamaalik actions in the ring. 8. In order to arriv at a true con clusion every point should be carefully observed and noted as the contest progresses, the decision going to the contestant who scores the greatest num ber of effective- points regardless of the number of rounda won and lost. When neither con tee tar. t has a decided margin Ineffectiveness, th winner should be de termined on points scored and of ag ' greasiveness." Play in Club Hoop Leagues to Start Again This Week M. A.
