Copyright, 1928, by Chicago Tribune. fight I received a telephone mes- sage at Mullen's gymnasium where I was employed as boxing at the office of the boxing commission as_“soon as possible.” I got to the offices about noon. A Righeimer’s private room. Seated there around Mr. Righeimer’s desk were Phil Collins,” Davie Miller, Joe MacNamara, Byers f{rom Decatur. The other five were Chicagoans licensed to referee | bouts. Besides the referees, those in | Huntke and Walter George, secretary of the commission. Several other fel- lows who had served as judges at pre- who previously had served as a time- keeper, also were there. The press was barred. Righeimer opened the meeting by saying: “This fight tonight is the biggest thing of its sort ever to come to Chi- one that will either reflect credit or discredit upon the whole city, and view. of the fact that there have been testant’s previeus fights, we must be sure that there can be no repetition of these charges tonight.” (Mr. Rig- STRICTLY ENFORCED THE TRUTH ABOUT ABOUT 11 am. on the day of the instructor.

The rules of the Illinois Boxing Com- | mission _then were taken up ome by | one. Mr. Righeimer read them and, asked if every one present thoroughly | urtderstood them. There was a good | deal of . Particular emphm's_ was laid upon “the knockdown rule. Here Are the Rales. The rules which have been the sub- ject of so much argument now are Nos. 87 and 88 in the Manual of Rules of the Illinois Athletic Commission and appear under the general heading, “Knocquownsmd:s" on page 26. 0. !:'When a contestant is ‘down’ his op- ponent shall retire to the farthest corner of the ring and remain there until the count is completed. Should he fail to do so, the referee wm"ceuse counting until he has so retired. No. 88 reads: “When a ‘knockdown’ occurs the timekeeper shall immediately arise and announce the seconds audibly as they elapse. The referee shall first see that the opponent retires to the farthest corner of the ring and then, turning to the r, shall take up the count in unison with the'timekeeper, announcing the seconds to the boxer on the fioor. Should the boxer on his feet fail to stay in the said corner, the referee and timekeeper may cease counting until he has so retired. At the tenth. second, providing the termi- nation of the round has not happened in the meantime, he will strike the Mr. Righelmer asied, “Do all of you referees understand just what is meant by the knockdown rule?” This query brought o a hot discus- sion. Some pointed out that there was conflict in the wording on the point of whether the referee should take up the count in unison with' the timekeeper or start the count from where he, the referee, left off when he started to get the boxer on his feet into the farthest corner of the ring. I asked the com- missioners how 'they reconciled the statement, L e., “Should -he fail to do s0 (go to fa oorner) the referee will cease counting until he has 80 retired,” with the statement, 1. e, “The referee shall first see that the op- ponent retires to the farthest corner of the ring and then, turning to the timekeeper, shall take up the count in unison with the timekeeper.” ‘The commissiopers ruled that a suc- ceeding sentence now in rule 88 an- this question. That sentence reads, “Should the boxer on his feet fail to stay in the said corner, the ref- eree and timekeeper shall cease count- ing until he has so retired.” ‘The commissioners realized that there ‘was conflict on the matter whether the referee, - having quit counting, should resume the count in unison with the timekeeper or take it up where he, the referee, had left off. But the commissioners decisively and unanimously pointed out that the time- keeper was merely an auxiliary to the referee. It is only a recent innovation ‘which calls for the timekeeper to make an audible count. Ring usage never has permitted a timekeeper to count a ‘boxer out. Counting a man out is solely the function of the referee. They Were Unanimous. Hence the commisison’s agreement that the timekeeper should cease count- ing when the referee ceased counting. It was plain that when th: referee resumed counting he should pick up ‘where he had stopped. In other words, the commisison chose absolutely to ignore the phraseology of Rule 88— “shall take up the count in | unison with the timekeeper'—and so } sdvised all referees present. It was explained that the only reason for the phrase “in unison with the timekeeper,” was an attempt to make a zeferee's count, often times either too Jong or too short for 10 seconds, a true tolling of the seconds as ticked off on stop watch, After a full discussion and a clear- cut definition of the rules in regard to the count, several of the referees asked the commisisoners what they regarded ¥+he farthest corner of the ring.” Define “Farthest Corner.” ‘The commigsioners unanimously mgreed that the farthest corner of the ring must be taken to mean the farthest neutral corners, the neutral corners, of ‘course, being those not occupied by the contestants and their seconds between rounds. All the rules in the commisison list having been discussed, Righeimer again spoke of the magnitude of the affair. “The eyes of the world will be on Chi- cago tonight,” he said. “It will be up to cne of you fellows to uphold the city’s honor.” ‘The meeting lasted about four hours, ending about 4 p.m. ‘There was some discussion about the advisablility of keeping those present to- gether. But since no arrangements had been made, all of those present were placed on their honor to say nothing as to the fact they might be chosen to yeferee or judge or be timekeeper at| fight.

As manager in his own right of the team, which was tumbled from its pin- nacle by the notorious “Black Sox scan- dal” of 1919, the fiery slender “Lena” has a chance to become the miracle man of present day base ball. After applying his mastery of strategy as inficlder and then coach to the fal- tering team for mere than a decade, Blackburne was called upon to pilot the team last July, when Ray “Cracker” Schalk resigned. But while the die was seemingly cast for another poor sea- son, “Lena” did wonders with the ma- chinery left him by piloting it to .525 base ball. His reward came yesterday, when he was named as manager for 1929 and given as free a hand as any ‘White Sox manager ever had. Chicago fans were elated by the news and the general prediction was that “Lena” was the man to turn the trick. If he does, the turnstiles at Comiskey Park, a giant stadium holding 65,000, probably will do a land office business Fights Last Night By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON.—Jack Sharkey, Boston, (10).

Sharkey gave Dekuh a terrific beating in their 10-round encounter, but lacked punch and finesse. He was heavy and slow, and his timing was woefully off, with the result that he seemed unable to land his hooks cleanly. Althbugh Dekuh appeared paralyzed with fright when the bout started and contented himself throughout with merely staying the limit, he took all Sharkey had and never seemed in dan- | r, except in the sixth, when Sharkey him down for the count of nine.

Georgetown, which opened its basket ball season with a 38-26 win over Uni- versity of Baltimore last Saturday, wil play its second game tomorrow night in the George Washington University gym, entertaining Western Maryland. ‘The game will start at 8 o’clock. Against Baltimore the Hoya court- men showed well and gave indications that they may again be expected to do well on the court this Winter. Western Maryland had a good quint last season and is likely to place a sturdy quint on the floor against Georgetown. Sophomores and Freshmen of George- town University, whose annual foot ball game, known as the “Battle of the | Caps,” was called off last Saturday night because of disorder among some | of the students, was to be played this afternoon at 3:15 on the Hilllop. Richard K. Charlesworth, president of the student council, has assured Father McDonough, prefect of disci- pline at Georgetown, that there will be nothing untoward today in the con- duct of either players or spectators at the game. Georgetown University’s athletie de- partment now has for sale to alumni of the university and friends Winter and Spring athletic books. These books will admit the holder to all basket ball, base ball, boxing and other athletic ac- tivities during the coming season. Fine schedules have been arranged in all these sports. It is pointed out that ‘the boxing schedule probably con- stitutes the mest attractive part of the Hoyas' Winter and Spring program. Each holder of an athletic book will be given two tickets to each of these boxing meets. No one will be allowed to ‘attend the ring contests who is not a season book holder because of the limited seating capacity. The price of the athletic book is $10 and may be had by getting in touch with Louise Little, Georgetown director of athletics. AMERICAN U.

Mooney, a junior, and playing at a tackle post during the past season, tracted attention of gridiron critics throughout the East. Mooney, who comes from Chicago, has played regu- larly for the past two seasons for the Blue and Gray. He is expected next season to develop into one of the best college tackles in the country. During the past season it was Moo- | ney’s fine kicking as well as sterling play | in the line that earned him praise. His punting of a mudtfy ball in Georgetown's 7-2 victory over New York University in the Yankee Stadium was doubtless his most noteworthy perform- ance. t ‘season will be the fourth suc- cessive campaign that a lineman has captained a Georgetown eleven. Jerry Carroll, a guard, was the leader during the past season; in 1927, Claude Grigs- by, center, was captain, and in 1926, Frank McGrath, end, was the Blue and Gray pilot. COLLEGE BASKET BALL.
