Feb. 20 UK-Accord ing to the law, a prize fight, like middleweight champion Gene Full mer's scrap here Monday night, is illegal in Denver. A reporter discovered the city charter, ever since 1904, has stated: "The police force shall not permit any prize fight, bull fight. glove contest in the nature of a prize fight or similar exhibi tion. ..." But no one can recall the police ever trying to stop a fight in the Colorado capital. Fullmer s decision over Ernie Durando in a non-title contest was Denver's first professional ring event in more than two years. City Atty. John Banks said his office, to his knowledge, never has been asked for an opinion as to the legality "of prize fightihg. "Man ager of safety Ed O. Geer, who is boss of the police department, said he thinks he II ask Banks to ren der an official opinion. The charter says plainly if the police don t stop a prize fight, the chief could be removed ,from office. Hrandrift loti, Amrrlran Interna Uonal tl MIT (0. Nsrthrlitrrn II . . Noire Uainc .
