CARPENTER Two Judges May Help Referee Decide Winner of Boxing Bouts' Senator Gibbs Thinks of Mak- ing Several Amendments to His Bill. BUFFALO, Feb. 7. ENATOR GIBBS, father of the S new boxing bill which was in- troduced in the Senate at Al- bany last Tuesday, is considering amending it in a way to provide for two judges in addition to a referes for the purpose of making decisions on bouts. It ia bis purpose to put every eafe- Guard possible about the sport so that fewer objections can be raised to its passage. Tho Senator paid a flying visit to this city and had a _ conference with a number of army officers, from whom he received several excellent suggestions. After the conference he said “Lam seriously considering amend- ing my boxing bill as it relates to de- It is my alm to minimize as Much as possible the possibilities of even unintentional unfair decisions. “It has been my experience that in amateur boxing bouts, where two | Judges and the referee decide the Johnny Daly’ 8: | SonandDaughter. Every week brings several thou- sand more wounded soldiers back to these shores, and thus the Boxers’ Loyalty League await to entertain them at the various baso hospitals, This was clearly demonstrated again last night, when before a few thou- sand wounded Sammies stationed in Base Hospital No. 3, Greenhut Dan Morgan, Tom Cassidy and Joe Jacobs, representing the Soxers’ League, staged a boxing carnival, consisting of fifty-six rounds of boxing, fourteen bouts in all, A slambang bout wa when Walter Laurette, th welterweight, hooked up w lyn Battling Nelson. It witnessed bo| could plainly seen that these two boys were out for a knockout, and the result was a corking good bout, which the sol- dier boys enjoyed. ' Another affair which proved to be of the sensational type brought into the squared arena the two juvenile boxers, Miss Helen Daly and Johnny Daly Jr., daughter and son of Johnny Daly, who a few years ago was one of the best ban- mweights starring in this country. Johnny Clinton, the crack east side lightweight, made his third appear- ance of the week when he exchanged blows with Maxey Green of Brooklyn, The final bout of the evening ente tained the wounded men_tremen- dously, when ‘Smoke Kelly, the Hert Williams of the boxing game, a contender for the heavyweight title, slugged through four rounds with that ling little bantam from Brooklyn, “Pepper” Martin, ‘The other bouts, which were all very Interesting and full of “pup..” brought together the following fistic stars: Danny Horn and Young Reis- ler, Young Fulton and Arthur Chick, Joo Dillon of Brooklyn and Young Driscoll, Young Lippy and Nick De- fito, Johnny Madden and Willie John- son, Wille Herman and Frankie Nel- son, the lightweight champion of Jer- rey; Sammy Mossberg and Charlie Beecher, the farmer amateur feather- weight ‘champion; Bernie Newman and Eddie Walsh, Freddie Lewis, the Ghetto bantam champion, and Bobby Gardner. In a wrestling match which was very exciting Young Muldoon and im cpsiging Lo (he vous, Young Monday went twenty minutes to a draw. This bout had the large crowd of soldiers in an uproar throughout the entire bout. The ref- |winner and the loser, there are sel- dom unfair decisions. I find this same system worked admirably in army and navy boxing bouts. For exampi two judges sit at the ringside, view- ing the contests from opposite sides | of the ring. At the end of each match they write their choice on a piece of paper and hand it to the referee. If the judges fail to agree, then the referee has the power to cast the de- elding vote. This system, I believe, eliminates the possibility’ of unfair awards. We want decisions, but omy fair decisions. ‘Of course, I heartily favor the referee having full supervision over the match, primarily to enforce the rules, but I rather think three heads are better than one and that two judges and the referee would be bet- ter qualified to decide contests than if the decision were left entirely to the referee. ‘ankly, Tam open to suggestions. We want the best boxing bill possible, We must have a bill that will redound to the credit of the sport and the State. There will be hearings on my bill in committee and I want all who favor or object to the bill to voice their senti- ments at the hearings. I have been flooded with letters and wires from all sections of the State. Some are sen- sible, some are medium and some are ridiculous, If there are clauses in the bill that are apt to prove other than beneficial to the sport, Iam open to conviction, but in the final analysis we must be absolutely right. “As I have said repeatedly, the time to eliminate objectionable features 1s in the beginning, We must not place too heavy a burden on the commis- sioner. With a fair, workable law |there is no reason why the sport shoul Box for Soldiers .2% ee 808 arse on “I also wish to add that I cannot emphasize too strongly that the ref- eree, and judges, if we decide that judges will help matters, should not be connected in any way with the clubs represented, and that they should be thoroughly competent and impartial. Thero is one commendable clause in the Gibbs bill which appears to have been overlooked, It prohibits any one from is@uing or accepting complimentary tickets, except press tickets, which are limited to twenty- five for each newspaper in the city where the matches are held. This stops a practi abused un- der the Fra t of the club manag giving out too much free paper, cutting down the State's share of what otherwise wou!d be a return on tic 8 sold, Senator Gibbs has received re- quests. for coples of his bill from legislators in several States, presum- ably for the purpose of guiding other lawmakers in framing boxing bills, But Senator Gibbs will withhold his bill until it has been drafted in all details and accepted op the floor of the Senate. ngs rm oTPECIAL 88 E, 42D ST., ereeing Was handled by Tim O'Sulli- van, manager of the late Les Darcy; Florrie Barnett, Billy Grupp and Ei Pollack of the Boxers’ Loyalty League, P.
