Not Very Popular
Referee' decision are to be aban

agitation against them, but because the
promoter find that they cannot Induce

under reasonable term. High cIm bog

of the no decision center, Rocauae of

rapidly.
That eem to be the trouble In ell the
cities where declalon ere allowed. In
New Orlean and Denver only the cheap
est clas of boxer will consent to per
form and Interest In tho port ha suf
fered in consequence. In the end these
cltle aleo will have to abandon decision
In order to obtnln a fair share of the
good bouta, That mean that the cham
pionship bout rre enough a It 1 oon
will become entirely extinct.
The future of boxing under ur.h eonfll
llon look rather har.y, for without de
cision champion will ceaae to exlt.
However, the gam may be a lot better
off without "champion" of the kind w
have at preaent. If the term "cham
pion" wa dropped, boxing follower
would be nhle lo pay homage to the best
man In each clus Instead of some burnt
