It has been suggested by the European body that an American be named to head the organization, The delegate will be instructed to vote for Liginger if an American becomes a candidate. The convention came to a close without a date being set for the next mesting of the order. The delegates voted to defray the ex- penses of the trip but did not hit on a plan to raise the funds Tex O'Rourke’s idea of a Central Registration Bureau which would ob- tain and keep a complete record of boxers, managers, promoters, resuits of bouts, past and present, was re- jected by the delegates on the grounds that the proposed fee of $1 or $2 to be asked of each man registered would conflict with present laws in some of the states in which boxing is now condueted. Much Discussion On This. There was a long discussion as to the merits and demerits of the pro- posed Willard and Dempsey bout, but the association would not go on rec- ord as being for or against it, having in mind perhaps that the New York commission might be placed in an embarrassing position. It was decid- ed to let the matter rest with each in- dividual commission throughout the country. The delegates were called upon to discuss the age limit of 21 to 38 and there was strong opposition to this age span as introduced and enforced by the New York boxing board. Opposes New York Idea. Frank B. Russell of Louisville, Ky., raised the question whether the na- tional body should adopt the New York idea. Personally he was op- posed to such a rule as unconstitu- tional. f He maintained that young boxers between the ages of 18 and 21 were often at their best and if the New York rule was adopted it would keep such boys from engaging in main events. In New York no boy under 21 can do so. He also urged that men of 38 or over were fully capable of participating in boxing bouts. He offered a resolution which put the as- sociation on record as refusing to concur with the New York board on the matter of age In the discussion over the Willard and Dempsey bout, it was brougit out that most of the declegates thought that Willard should prove to the publie that he is fit to box Demp- sey by engaging in a preliminary bhout before meeting the champion. In making its report on the matter of Tex O'Rourke’'s Registration Bu- reau, the committee suggested that Tex O'Rourke work out the detajls of the plan with a specially appointed committee. Final approval of the plan will be voted on by mail. It was decided that each commission in the association shall contribute a mini- mum of $200 annually. October Association Month. October will be known as associa- tion month and promoters and boxers in the different states will be asked to contribute a small percentage of their earnings. 2 | It was voted to ask commissions not to report suspensions until ten days after they have been imposed in order to aveid confusion in match making. ! The association declined to name a man to meet Pinky Mitchell for the ‘140 pound belt,” a title that came to Mitchell through a popular vote con- test. PASSAIC H. S. WINS AGAIN Passaic, N.

When asked s idea of a field goal, Mr. Nair veadily answered “it is a goal kicked from the 25.yard line—sometimes." He also explained that a foul baskel was something that poultry was car. ried in and that a personal foul was soultry owned by a private individual, Both managers admitted that their nen lacked confidence, that, as far as coring is concerned, but there s plenty of suspicion that other things may happen.
