And while no two fight fans .can-seem: to: answer it is the well-nigh unani- mous opinion that something is: seriously wrong. LJ L Mickey Walker, former World Middleweight Champion, was a "really tough cookie in his leather- days--but, unlike many --of his contemporaries, he left the with his 'brains unaddled, And here is how!Walker sizes up the situation. ps * * . he Jack Dempsey suggests a rem- ody for today's ailing exhibitions. Exciting fights would be witness- od it boxing promoters through- out the country would arrange more no-decision bouts. He be: --Heves champions would appear in these contests because their titles wouldn't be on the line every time they fought. 1 agree with Jack. In this way, fans could keep tabs on their favorite fighters' fistic en- deavours. I also agree with him on the idea of more' spectacular re agree: on the: 'fights. This type of contest would keep a champ in ii oom~ condition, ready for his very best when a tough title contender popped up, © \ : I honestly think Jack's sugges- tion stems from his own experi- ence, But he forgets there was only one Jack: Dempsey. found its mark, decisions weren't - necessary. In his tirst important contender bout, his left punch crashed against Fred Fulton's long chin in a New Jersey no- decision cdntest. That left hook convinced the boxing world that Jack would be the next title. holder. Ten Then, three years later, as champion in.another New Jersey ring, Dempsey with the same left hook ended Georges Carpentier's' championship dreams in the first million-dollar boxing gate. » LJ x Adding another ingredient to Dempsey's remedy, Casey Bow- man, the former "Michigan Flash," believes that boxing judg- eg are only a waste of opinion. He questions the various methods by which fights are scored by judges. their stationary : ringside seats, the judges can't truthfully score a punch as having been blocked or as a point for the puncher, He gives as ar example the scor- SOME POINTERS FOR BACKWARD CITIZENS The citizens of Perth Ontario, (population 5,000) have form- 'ed an association for the Industrial development of their town, certainly one of the most beautiful in Canada, and as a start ralsing a fund of $75,000 to buy two and a half acres of Industrial land and a factory which stands on it. The Perth Courier has strongly supported the project but comments editorially In a recent Issus that "no space at all has been devoted to suggestions for the reader whose ambition Is te do nothing for his community." The 'paper then proceeds to list 13 pointers on town lanning, "designed especially for the: backward citizen", as ollows: - 1. Don't pay taxes. Let the other fellow pay his.. Vote against __ "taxes, Then fuss because the sireets are not kept up. -2. Never attend any of the meetings called for the good of the town, Wait until you get outside and then cuss those who made the suggestions." "Find fault with everything that was done. 3. Get all the town will give you, and don't give anything in return. Write unsigned letters to the editor demanding more for tax money. 4. Talk co-operation, but don't do anything for your town unless you get pald for It. you are chairman. And by all means refuse to serve unless 5. Never accept an office.

I -have a hunch most fighters - would ' accept Casey's theory. He'd like boxing com- missions to eliminate judges opinions for. better . punching action in the ring. . * EL * Then Bob Perry, possibly the only modern who has witnessed every heavyweight champion in action since John :L. Sullivan's reign, adds his remedy. - He be- lieves that everything. which concerns boxing today is decorat- ed with sparkling. publicity trim- mings. Back in the 90's,;say Bob, all fighters had to prove their worth before they gained recognition. A last-minute . .rally, exhibiting heart and endurance, might turn the decision for a defeated war- rior "into victory. A champion shouldn't lose his title in a close decision climax, is another be- lef of Bob's. a > 9.2 * John Moran, authority on past and present fights; supports Perry's theories. John compares the drab ring performances of to- day with those of yesteryear. * a J * The pojnt system which decides a winner in states where boxing is legalized is slowly killing the game. - And here's the reason. Each state has a different way of totaling up points, For instance, in one state there are 20. points to a round; in another 11; in still another, 10. Points are awarded - ~for aggressiveness, cleverness and harder blows. 1 * * * . The smart" fighter (and most fighters are smart today) figures out the system. They've discov- ered that points are. given for aggressiveness, so they develop a style of pushing forward. If there are two pushers in the ring; they: meet one another in. the center .and nothing happens. In my book: there's only one -definition for an aggressive. fight- er. That's the guy, regardless it he gets off the floor or springs from "hig corner, who's always trying to knock the other guy's brains out.' 'Such were Dempsey, Midget Smith and 'other spectac- ular ring. performers. (Mickey modestly. doesn't include himself ~--Ed.)

' Great. confusion reigns in the minds of nany people as to the meaning of words like Social- ism, apitalism, Communism, Liberalsim et al. : A case in instance is a re- cent editorial in the Toronto --weekly --Satugday Night whose author is of the opinion that Premier T.

Or. to give another sample, of language which regards "the prevailing system of industrial capitalism as a disease growth,. born of man's rebellion against Christian principles of social life, and bearing within itself the seeds of social anarchy and chaos." 2 Incomplete Erudition It may come as a surprise to the editor of Saturday Night as well as to many others that these words did not emanate from Moscow, that they were not taken 'from any Marxist writings, but that they are part of the Official Statements on Social Justice 'issued. by the Archbishops and Bishops of Australia in 1947 and 1948, It is unfortunate that otherwise so erudite editor of Saturday Night apparently did not include in his readings St. Augustine's "City of God" or Thomas d'Aquinas' Su mma, without which his edutation cannot be considered complete or he himself qualified to pass judgment on the ideas of men like the Premier of Saskatche- wan. : i Other Alternatives All too often the mistake fis I1SSUR 31 -- 1954 | PLAIN HORSE SENSE .
