Mew Boxing Needs 11 row Hand; Commissions Elule Fails By HOLT JACKSON Burl Charity asked hla manager, Hymie Wallman, for a bout but was turned down. He went to the Boxing Commission's office but found no solace there.

Tired, disgusted and Borry that he ever took up the sport, he returned to his home in Youngs town, Ohio, regretting the day he left Germany to come back home. Chanty dilemma brought up the question: Is the taxpayers' dough wasted paying fat salaries to maintain a boxing commission? Managers are unable to get fights for their men, matchmakers cannot get boxers matched, end promotors ere forced to go along with tha mob" while the Boxing Commission stand by looking with both eyes open, unable to give any aid. It Is useless. STARTED HOUSE CLEANING When New York's boxing head, Robert Chrlatenberry took over, he came unacquainted with the sport but with a sincere desire to clean It up. The chief talked about reforms and Issued some rules and regulations which were good for the sport Today he appears disgusted.

Somewhere along the line he was advised or told that several bad tnen in boxing were giving the sport a dirty name. He wrote a magasine article in which he unearthed the past of several men Who strayed from the straight and narrow and were caught, but were etill In boxing. Oners, who are being accepted as good men though ruthless and mercenary, were overlooked. Some of the mm who wer publicised were actually a. credit to the game while others ike Eddie Coco should be In the NOT PROTECTED The sport, which has not been Can as far back as the time of 'A.

MEDICAL BODY USELESS Boxing will, undoubtedly, remain as a hiding $lace for men who run or ran afoul of the law and It will serve as a spring board for their political aspirations.

Very few have any dealings with the sport other than watching it before they are made ruler and lord over the roughest sport of our time. There has been some tempts made to run the sport but like the snow it slowly melts away. Some time age Medical boards were set up. The Idea looked good but It was a waste of time since a fighter can pass all the Instrumental tests and still be not In shape to kflght Commissioners of boxing should be chosen, not as a paptronage job, from a group of wVo know the sport and have no part hm nership ties with other managers, promoters and matchmakers. Boxing cannot be expertly governed by men who are skillful in ways of politicians.

It can and must be ruled by a man or men who will not allow pride, prejudices or admiration to temper their decisions. REFORMS The death of a fighter usually bring up reforms wherever the tragedy occurs. In. New York the fighters were ordered to wear eight ounce gloves although the size of the glove has very li'tle if any effect on the fighter. Sometimes the heavier the glove the harder the punch since the glove becomes later laden during a fight and can do more damage to the face than a six ounce glove.

Promoters ere ordered to spend money, buying new floor covering thinking that the new pads would stop blood, tears and death since the hard floors were blamed for the deaths in the ring. The punches taken on the head by the fighters apparently had little effect. Recently the National Boxing Commissioner Abe Green ordered all preliminary boys to don headgears during their fight. The headpieces caused often fighters to lose their battles because at one time or the other their vision is poor. Fighters still wind up sightless, crippled, crazy or junior imbeciles.
