IN THIS CORNER

With boxing showing continued ‘(gm of increesina DWularity the past two or three years. isn't it about time that the game was be- [pg put on a firmer footing, name- w through the medium of an 1s- land Boxing Commission. This is not the first time that such a. move has been mentioned. but now if never before this province is in

need of one. a“ i‘ 5K 9K

For days before the recent ht atthe Forum there was nothng but nasty rumors going the rounds, not concerning one person in gen- eral but several. 0f course it was boxers who were the butt of most of them and as later events have ghown there wasn't very much to them but at the same time they didn't. do the persons concerned

any good.

There isn't a CommLssion in the world that can entirely stamp out thr- likes of this and it is not ex- iyiszi to. but it could do a power- Iiil lot of good. As matters now stilnd. and it is no use avoiding the issue. rival promoters, and they continue to spring up every any. will naturally attempt to get the best boxers under their man-

igtmcnt.

This is only to be EXDCCLEIIHDUI. where the Commission would come in would be the protection it would give to both promoters and fighters alike. At the present a boxer can u-alk out on a. fight simply if he wishes and as a result spoil a promoters card. and on the other hand the promoter could if he so wished, hold back part of fighters’ pulses and there wouldn't be very much anyone could do about it.

These are only a couple of things which might happen. They hav- en't happened yet. or to the writ- ei-‘s knowledge have never been attempted, but there is always a first time. Before that first time comes, however, why don't the pro- moters. fight fans and anyone in- terested get together and form an‘ island Boxing Commission?

1i certainly isn't going ic cost anything to give it a trial and we feel that once it llbt functioning prcperl/y boxers. promoters and fans all would benefit and the fight game itself would continue on the upgrade.

Bees made a disastrous start in the softball wars last night when they suffered that terrific lacing at the hands of the champions, the Rovers. but don't run away with the idea yet that the league is going to turn into any three-team

affair.

Banded together rather hurriedly and suffering from lack of prac- tice. the Bees last night were far below the form they can really flash. Last night they could d0 nothing right while their 0119011‘ ems were the direct opposite. At that they showed they had the right spirit when they kept fight- 111g back doggedlyat every turn.

Bloomer was little more than five feet seven inches but his small- ness did not handicag him.
