There was vome slight sparring, and then Lang rushed his man to t ropes, and with two or thre sharp blows hustled Curran down, Mr. Corri, who was in the ring, separated the boxer and disqualified Lang. The ri son was that Lang hit Curran while the latter was on his xn ‘The supporters of Lang Rad & Ghook, as 5 to 1 had been iaid upon him.

But thei was one thing I admired tn England: the enforcement of all rules that make for g00d sport. PORT in America ts making tre- mendous strides, but in some few branches in professional spor! there Is room for tmprovement. In the unorganized sports, especially, some- thing should be done to provide for the rigid enforcement of the rules. If Lang had clipped Curran just once under the same circumstances tn New York or Philadelptia, or in any other boxing town, the worst he would have suffered would have been @ heif-hearted caution from the referee. Baseball, of course, Is kept absolutely clean, and the rulers of the game Im- prove it every year. So it is with foot Dall and all other organized sports. But how about boxing, for Instance? Under the laws iu most of our State: there can be no decisions. So the ret erees hesitate about disqualifying box- ers for infringements of the rules. in Philadelphia Wed: Knockout Brown in a dozen differe ways. He struck foul blows, On pushed Brown against the ropes, cought) him by the throat with his left hand, en@ dending him backward struck violously with the right. It wasa delib- erate and flagrant foul. Wolgast should have been disqualified on the Instant. He wasn't. ‘There sepms to be a sentiment against stopping bouts of any kind. Tho pro- motera think the public “wants its money's worth,” and they let the rules | slide, Digger Stanley came here from Ene- jand. He has had two boxing bouts In each of them he has used his elbows and fouled in other ways, for which he would have been thrown out of the ring in his own country. fe has caught ‘the local spirit. ‘To the credit of the boxers the:nsel "ez net those who control sport—iet me say that most of them are very fair and spottemaniike. The foul Mghting boaer is the exception. One of the worst examples of a foul that didn’t bring about the intervention of the referee was in tne Johndon-Iie vimmons bout in Philadelplia, Johnson caught Fitzsimmons witn a 1 threw him heavily on tins the back of bead, fF r w oadly stunned.
