this state and all who meet him
anywhere out of New York state are
blacklisted for six months.
A communication was received by
the commission from the Panama
Boxing Commission thanking the
New York board for extending an
invitation to send a representative to
the lightweight elimination tourna-
ment. The invitation was rejected
owing to the lack of any material
which would make an appreciable
shoving in the tournament. ,
Commissiobor “'illiarn H. Mul-
doon promoted a new rule which
would make it s. foul for a. wrestler
to toss his opponent from the ring.
Such offense will result in disquali-
fication if the rule is adopted.

Until Jack Dempsey really signs
for another battle we may considerl
him retired. At least he can‘t be’
expected to mix his honeymoon
with a championship battle.
Considering Dempm's ring cs-

The consensus of opinion is that
he did not meet. as king of his di-

What About Gibbons?

The men against whom Dempsey
hung up his knockout record that
won him a. chance at the title were
second raters.
Jim Corbett licked the clever Joe
Choynski three times before moot-
ing Sullivan in the bout that gave
Corbett the heavyweight title. No
of those bottles“ were really two

first battle.

While champ Corbett knocked out
Charlie Mitchell. one of England's

It was meant to be an exhibition
but Shut-key was intent on knocking
out the clever Corbett.

out the popular Peter Mahsr in a
