Intelligent inspec tors In the gyms where fighters train could get advance information informa-tion on crooked deals, and they could thwart the dishonest before fixed fights could be staged. They could protect the public by lock ing the barn before tne none was stolen. Pre-fight prevention is a much better protection for high-paying' fans than post-fight investigation. Among those who campaigned lengthily for gymnasium inspec tors was Nat Fleischer, editor oz the Ring magazine ' and current president of the New Yora Boxing Box-ing Writers association. No 'heed was paid to Fleischer's pleas, nor to those of others. Advocates ef gym inspection inspec-tion pointed out again and again that an official watch-tag watch-tag a fighter training dally for a bout would learn quickly by sight er ramer whether the boxer was eon-sorting eon-sorting with gamblers and mobsters.

If evidence Indicated that he would not or could not put up a good fight, the bout could be called off. Such procedure wouia not only protect the fans against fixed fights but it would protect them against paying their money to witness "stinkeroos" perpe trated by poorly conditioned scrappers.
