Queensberry on Fights j
. itf OR
j Must Change the Rules
, I
. i L.
By the Marquis of Queensberry
j (Copyright, 1911, by the Marquis of Queensberry.)
MY first Impressions of American
taxing; unfortunately for me,(
were not what I had hoped to
see, for the first contest that I
attended since coming to this
country took placo at tho Twentieth
Century club In New York, where 1 was
a witness to the very worst exhibition
between Billy Papko and "Sailor" Burko.
These men, who looked like heavy
weight pugilists which Is suggested per
haps by the fact that they mot at catch
wolghts put up a paltry exhibition, but I
want to say that I am in no way taking
American boxing front the standpoint of
the affair of Tuesday night. 1 consider
that that "contest" waa an unusual one
and tliat there should be some way to
prevent the Ignoble tactics that 1 wit
nessed. The hanging on tactics made It
a boresome affair and It was really ab
surd. Bright, clever and breezy boxing, with a
sign of science Is what I expect to see
In some of tho bouts In which the beat
of talent Is to perform. Wnrnlngs that
I must not take tho Pankc-Burke "con
test" as a samplo of tiie sport in this
country were unnecessary, for I think aa
dois Charley White, who was the referee,
that It was a "rotten affair."
This Is speaking pretty freely of what
I have seen as to American boxing, but
I shall havo more to say about It later
and hope that we may bo spared from
any more entertainments such as I saw
when present at the Twentieth Century
club.
Thftrc arc many polnta which T have
discovered since my visit to America and
there are many ways through which th
future of the ring could be benefited. I
would suggest as of tho most noteworthy
that something be done to prevent the
hanging on which was a pnrt of most
cvory round of the "contest" I witnessed.
And also, too. that the referee bo given
greater latitude.
Referee Deserves Sympathy.
Tho boVera havo had too much to say.
Tho referee in the only match 1 have
seen on this Mde was deserving of all
sympathy at th.it affair. The dcslro to
glvi the spectators somoOtlng for their
mutiny trammo'.ed Charley White. The
violation of the rules is the point on which
1 am speaking I mean tho porslataneo
with which these fighters clinched when
over the opportunity presented. Both
men were guilty of breaking the rxils al
most from the start. Tho gate mony
consideration was all that prevented both
men from being ordered out of tho ring.
While 1 am speaking of the referee I
: should llko to add that some time later
1 shall havo something further to say
about the placing of the referoo. Yo.u
know the referees do not enter the ring
In England, but officiate just outside of
It, unless, of course, It is necessary to
compel thi boxers to obey his ordTs, as
Eugene- Corrl, our referee, haa done on
occasions.
There Is a twisting of the rules here by
th tolerance of clinching as Jong as ono
ami of arh contestant is free. A sup
pression of this objectionable practice
shoulu 1k brought about. There should
bo a revision of the rules to ellmlnto
clinching such as 1 witnessed by Papkn
and Burk. who mndo tlilr "contest"
look not unlike a kissing match.
The framing of ruls might be done for
America nlon- by a board of rontrol and
If the desire wer" shown by I ho honor
of other countries to tnk pnrt the rules
might b approved by England, AustrA
tla and America. By this means the
bonds of frtendstalp between these coun
tries would be brought closer In sport.
Many wish to know my Ideas of th
refer' blug In the ring or out of It, as
we do In Encland. What I shall say Is
that In tho disgraceful exhibition 1 wit
nessed at the Twentieth Century club It
was fur bt that Refereo White was In
the rlnjc. If such a thing cotild be. the
phow would have bn worse with Char
ley white outside the arena. The boxers
did not hed his words to break from
the clinches and only when he put out
his utroug arm did they do as they were,
ordered-
Fines for Disobedience.
DUotiedlenrc of tho boxers to the com
ramnd. of the referee I would suggest
jhould brine a ocruitty. Fine or suspen
sion should follow for the boxer who
do" not .ibev rooimands and suspension
wo-tM carry 'en'porrry r-xttrci!on All
cubs then w u!d be oowtrips to allow
1
him to box until his term of suspension
Is ended. When little or no sparring is
accomplished at all. those who pay their
monev to sec boxing would not have to
bo borod by pitiful exhibitions.
It Is with determination that X am con
tinuing my campaign to place boxing on
a proper nlano. to havo It Interpreted as
mv father snent his life to have it In
terpreted, not as a. low SDort, but as
the greatest of manly sports fit for presi
dent or king.
To cleanse the old prize ring was my
father's one and only Idea. In framing the
Marquis of Queensberry rules. Ho often
told mo hc sought to evolve a scientific
art of sclf-defcnso out of what waa a
brutalizing exhibition of physical force.
The knockout was a thing hated by my
father and he preferred that a bout
should bo stopped when the superiority
of one man was palpably apparent,
It never was intended that tho quick
and drastic knockout should be avoided.
Tho rules were framed to savo the man
whose heart was bigger than his strength
nnd who rather than give In would crawl
up and face his opponent prepared even
to dlo In tho attempt.
Tho original Ideas or my father arc by
no means 'followed out. New conditions
havo arisen and I feel sure that by
amendments we can dispel tho prejudice
that now exists against boxing. If con
ditions hnd been right 3 feci sure that
the present laws against boxing In Amer
ica never would havo been niado.
To rectify this I consider that tho
Quecnsbcm" rules should be both ampli
fied and altered both In Justice to my
father and to tho futuro of the ring.
To do this I Suggest that opinions on
certain points should be taken from a
committee of. say one or more recog
nized American sporting men, Eugcnt
Corrl and myself ns my father's repre
sentatives. Eugene Corri I should like to seo In
vited over here to n. boxing conference,
on the lines suggested above, nnd then
once and for all boxing might be nut on
such a footing that It. would no longer
be looked at askance by that section of
tho community whom wo sporting men
most wish to win over, but would be
recognized as a manly sport which lra
no oqu.il nnd which at its best calls for
nvery quality that Is best In a man and
can but have a good effect on futuro
generations,
Boxing Popular in America.
I was not quite prepared for the en
thusiasm displayed for boxing when I
arrived In New York, althouch the pop
ularity of boxlnc In America, was made
known to me before 3 arrived. It seems
that every other man I meet knows about
the form of the boxers and their career
and can give a critical opinion, right or
wrong', on any pair likely to meet.
It came as news to me that tho bouts
In New York were limited to ten rounds.
But ther" seems to bo much sense in
this, despltn the pre'-idlre. that seems tc
exist acalnst this sort of curious legis
lation. However, tho rereree In two out
of three contents should be able to come
to a decision at the end of this period
of ten rounds. I
It Is hard to bleve that the public
should not know of official verdicts until
the next day. But the regulations explain
that when fully understood.
Before the meeting of Papk and Burke
my curiosity led me to request lo
lhm. The Inevitable thought came to
me -alien I first looked at Paoko that a
flghtr of his build inlcht be to an ex
tent shoulder tied. Conversation later
showed me that this was not altogether
wrong. Papkn Informed me that he had
difficulty In throwing this off and set
ting to a loosoness of swing. One of in
reasons why Jem Smith, a heavyweight
champion hi England, retired waa be
cause he had tlx miiih drawback, but h
could not throw it off. Ills training
methods possibly might not have been
the right kind.
Papko told me that there was a creat
futuro for boxing In France and on this
point I think he Is outte right. Franc
surely has soc-d material to develop. Who
can tell but the "white hope" may some
lay arise In France? There is no reason
why the English speaking countries
should claim a monopoly In producing
champions of tha ring. Groat Br I Lain

HACK SAYS HE KNOWS
NOW HOW TO BEAT GOTCH
CHICAGO. Aug. 28. George Hackcn
schmldt avers he Is in the best possible
condition physically nnd only requires
sufficient training to keep him from go
ing back. Hackenschmldt was up 'with
the sun. took a long walk along tho
shores of Liko Michigan and later played
a few games of handball. During tho
middle of the day ho spent his time
visiting on the front porch of his quar
ters. "The last time I met Gotch I was
poorly posted on tho numerous holds in
the game," said Hackenschmldt. "Gotch
Is fast and the lock that I did know did
not hold him.
"I thought then that I would be able
to wear my opponont down, but found
I had over-estimated my strength. I
know now a man to beat him has to
know all the holds of the game and to
be able lo put ono of those holds on him
In quick time."

Walter Lewis was iilte a useful nina; f

of way. and as he was very keen a ioul rnt:
the "mitt" business, hc and I used li Uil '
put on the gloves oulto often In his big i Ihc

I must confess at once that the dlj lijhsr

could both give and take puiilslimcnti & i
and thus one day. after we hud been en-j-Mt"
Joying a more than usually hurricane ten tj.fol!
minutes. Lewis niggested to ma that I t-Dry'
might do far worse than take up the; 'anh.
boxing business In earnest. & utir.
"It's this way. Jack." he said. "You'vt-fc. T
got the physique and frame of a lighter it,
