Show Uig Bill Rischcll, of the Herald, f has drawn up a set of rules to govern gov-ern boxing contests that should be adopted in every contest that is pulled pul-led off throughout the entire civil-1 civil-1 t ized world. They call for a decision with the jefcrec empowered to ord :r rounds if unable to make a verdict after the number of rounds called for in the articles have been fought. They require the posting of forfeits which will be forfeits in every sense of the word for the reason that the lj principals lose them as well as any I sharing in the receipts if the club 1 committee decides that the contest- ' ants have not given ihcir best efforts. They also do away with the chance of faking through the foul route by awarding one-half of the purse to charity and one-half to the contestant contest-ant fouled, no matter how the purse was to have been split. The club is required to print coupon tickets that those who pay admission wi'l have something to show for a return of their money in case a match is declared de-clared no contest, which must be done in case the judges decide that the contestants have not given their best efforts. Jim Jeffries latest declaration in regard re-gard to returning to the ring is that he will never fight again unless he goes broke and is forced to enter the ring in order to earn sufficient money mon-ey to make a new start in business. And its dollars to doughnuts that there's plenty of would-be sports that would like to see him go broke, just to see if he would make good. f'l It is said that the football receipts for the season for Yale will reach approximately $80,000. This is not a record nor is it unusually high. Yale and Harvard shared equally ?68,ooo of the Saturday's game and the receipts of the Yale-Princeton j game, also split evenly between ths 1 teams, amounting to $66,000. Boer Unholz, who fought a draw with Pete Sullivan at Ogdcn last Vv$ week, is after Dick Highland's scalp now, but will insist upon Highland making 133 pounds at the ringside. The Boer also wants to take another cradk-at Sullivan, but says that there will :be ' nothing, doing unless' Pt can' get down to the 133 mark. |
