The commission may be able to compromise with the promoters, but it locks like a long shutdown unles these changes are made. COMMISSION ! AT FAULT The present mixup in the local ring game can be laid at the door of the commission. However right their course might have seemed to them last spring when they cal for propositions from the various promoters in Seattle for the purpose of centering all smokers in one build. Ing they made their big mistake then. Because, regardiess of which | Proposition they accepted, and re-| gardiess of how willingly the pro- moters seemed to fall in with their plans, the fact remains that in ac- cepting any one promoters plans and signing,» contragh..with Jn.

When the commission then went ahead, after knowing that one set of promoters objected to its proceedings and Hite had not yet signed his Pavilion lease, the commission made a grave mis- | | take in telling Hite to go ahead. | | i —_———__—_ HITE SINKS COIN IX PAVILION Mite did, and he has sunk $5,000 or more in the Pavilion, on the com. | mission's word that all boxing would be held there for a year. Shows must; be held there at least once-a week | for Hite to obtain his rent, —_—— THE NEED OF THE GAME There is nothing radically wrong with the boxing game in Seattle now ‘What the game needs is a commis. sion that supervises the game only. instead of trying to run the business of the promoters. The commission should concentrate on arranging dates, seeing that contracts kept, selecting the referees, examin. ing the boxers and such things, They should not pay referees and make contracta with individual pro-| moters, as the: done. A FEW EXAMPLES OF THEIR WORK ‘The present commission has fliv vered, Here are a few examples: The commission has a ruling that all boxing shows must be held in the Pavilion and that 5 per cent of the gross receipts must be paid the commission, It is a known fact that the Nonpar- ell club in Georgetown obgained a permit from the commission, but did not hold their show in the Pavilion and they did not pay sion any 5 per cent ‘The commission is supposed to pay all referees and yet Ted Whitman, one of the officials, told The Star the other day that they owed him $40 for back work.

Bos, crack Dutch balk line billiard players, are coming to America to challenge for the inter |national billiard title this winter, ac cording to word received here. contracts. And yet it is known that the Caseade Athletic club did not fulfill its contract with Pal Moore when the Memphi bantam worked here. His pay was cut and the commissie knew. Moore went into the ring and played horse, making a joke out of the show. And yet if Moore had insisted on a bigger medal than he had signed for, the commission would have probably barred him for life. And the card that the commis- sion let Clay Hite stage last week was another jok hange after change being made in the lineup of the bouts. HITE CAN'T AFFORD LONG SHUTDOWN Clay Hite is the goat in the pres ent situation.
