The Cleveland Boxing Commission started something when it upset Jimmy Gardner's deciston and pro- q@iaimed Bryan champ But it was Only @ start. A local rule allowing & commission to change a referee's fuling can't be recognized all over the world. Ever since 5, atteclaa bd Rules began to operate the one ab- solute factor in all ring affairs hes been the finality of the referee's de- cision. The referee is recognized as| the one authority whose action is Vinding on the fighters and whose word eettles al] bets. A boxing commission is a bunch of gentlemen carefully selected by gameone in political office—usually tor litical affect, like everything else in politicos in this country. They are not necessarily men qualified to ect as referees or men picked (be- qcnuse of their intimate knowledge of the game. Of course they some- times are good, square, conscien- tious fellows, who “have the good of the game at heart.” But that ‘doesn't make them capable substi- tutes for an experienced referee. The public’s confidence in an ex- perienced referee can’t be distributed over a whole boxing commission. Jimmy Gardner was a great boxer and he should be a good referee. Ho may have been right or wrong !n dis- qualifying Downey for fouling Wil- son. But he was the referee, and world custom recognizes the referee's word as the last decision If the Cleveland Commission made @ mistake in letting Wilson bring his own ref- eree along, it probably won't make the same mistake again. And if Gardner makes poor decisions he won't make many of them. No champion should be allowed a hand-picked referee. The referee should always be satisfactory to both contestants and to the commission, of course, where there's a commis- sion. Some champions claim they have to: According to information received from a reliable source, the State Athletic Comimission will explode a “bombshell” within ¢he mext forty- eight hours. No hint was given as lo what the latest action to be taken by the commission will be, but our informant states it will be the big- gest thing that has happened since the Walker Boxing Law took effect.

Y., Sept. | 1,—Morvich, the two-year-old aon of | Runnymede and Hymir, owned vy} Benjamin Block, t a second Man O'War. After his great victory in yesterday's rich Hopeful there can be no doubt of his superiority over tne best juvenile in training. The Hope- ful marked his ninth straight victory from the time be made his racing debut the opening day of the scason et Jamaica. That day he was a de- spised outsider, being a 60 to 1 shot. Yesterday he was a short priced choice in a field of twelve of the most highly regarded two-year-olds of the season. Unfortunately he 4s not elig!-| ble for the Futurity. If he were he would win that too, What added to the victory of Mor- vich yesterday and put the stamp of | greatness on bim was the fact thai! he carried 180 pounds, conceding from | 15 to 17 pounds to all his opponents | with the exception of Kai Sang,| which carried 130 too by reason of penalites of earlier victories. Morvich wan the Hopeful in pretty much the same manner as he has seored his elght other victories from start to finish, He had some trouble yesterday in the first eighth of a mile | in shaking off such quick breakers as! alamity Jane and Runster, but after he had run them into the ground he came away from the struggling field | behind him with apparent case. After | that there were big gaps of daylight | between him and his nearest com- petitor, Round the turn and into the stretch he came all by himself. Be- hind him everything was a whipping, kicking mass of horses and riders, while he galloped on as smoothly as if he were out for an exercise gallop instead a winner of one of the richest stakes of the year, !
