About Fights and Fighters BY LEO H. LASSEN is safe to say that 75 per aS of the fight fans hav never read the Marquis of Queensbury’s rules of boxing, either the original or the re vised edition. The Marquis, an English boxing fan of the late 19th century, thought the London Prize Ring rules too brutal and made up a set of simple rules for boxing that have been in effect in the ring game thruout the world ever since. Why ts it that your average box tng fan, who is really interested in the game, never takes the pains to Fead the rules is of those un. fathomed mysteries. It is undoubt @dly because they are not very com plicated and therefore the fans think | it unnecessary to do so. Baseball, with its more complicated ardent dng, but nevertheless many of the fans who rave and rant at desisions and at incidents during a boxing Match woukin't do so if they knew @ven the simple code of the Mar quis. Tn Giving Decisions In regard to rendering of decisions the code says that with all things being equal the verdict given to the man who does the most “leading off,” or in plainer English, the agsressive boxer, or to the man displaying the most style. by Seattle fans and by the judges and referees here. They pay too lit- and to boxing style, Points shall be scored alike for de secs well as offensive abilit t punches. jo count as heavily as clean Boxing is the art of defending one’s self; an offense is necessary to ‘Win, but defense Is true boxing.

The usual interpretation {s that a foul, when thought unintentilonal, is Mot called if.the man fouled wants to continue. Concerning Seconds ‘The most flagrant violation of the ‘Queensbury code in Seattle is allow- ing seconds to coach from the The bellowing of the seconds at ‘the fighters is more or less obnoxious to the ringside fans and this section f the boxing rules shouid be strictly enforced. ‘The rules say that no coaching Whatever shall be allowed from the corners by seconds during the prog- Yess of a round. ‘These aro the most interesting Highlights of the Queensbury rules, | but for the fans who claim to be Teal fight bugs, it would pay to ob- tain a copy of the code and become really acquainted with it. They ‘would find that they enjoy the bouts Much more if they know the rules. WILLING IS ON HIS WAY EAST PORTLAND, Ore, August 25— Dr. O. F.
