That doesn’t harm because he is pro- tected from official defeat by the no- decision rule. “Some of those:persons who oppose arc making the absurd and malic- {ous charge that decision bouts will kill{ the game.

No smudge ever has come on their records, they aro honest and square as any man lving. No one could ‘buy’ their decision, yet the blanket indictment seems to cover them, these honest men are branded as probable crooks. “The majority of those who are fight- ing my plan are managers of fighters.

They remember vividly the scores. of times they have paid big prices to see a fight and .then have been treated to joke contests, Why shouldn’t Some of the man- azers_oppose me? Decision fights would end the soft picking for some of them. Those who are handling fighters who are fluke champions are loudest in their pretests. Why? Simply because thefr men, if forced to fight decision battles. undoubtedly would be out- pointed and thus Iose the title. That would mean smaller purses for those fighters in the future and, of course, smaller ‘splits’ for the managers. “The fight game has fallen into a de- cay during the past.few years. The men no ionger battle as they used to. They get threce and four times the money that the old timer did, but in roturn for it they do 10 rounds of fancy dancing, alternating with the latest mpproved hugs.
