THE v
jygASKET
If Guard for Teeth Is Permissible. Why
Not Permit Boxers to Wear Helmets
With the headlock and toe hold
eliminated from wrestling and box
ers permitted to wear armor in the
ring all strenuous sport threatens to
become denatured these days. There
may be some excuse for abolishing
(he headlock and there will be less
blood spilled if mouth guards arc
worn in the riu.ar. but a line must
be drawn somewhere.
Although Jack Britton's method
of emphasizing his argument was
more forceful than tactful, he ap
peared to have right on his side
when be objected to Ted Lewis
wearing a rubber guard over his
teeth in their recent bout. If a
guard for the teeth is permissible,
why not a leather helmet such as
boxers wear in training bouts?
While Bri'ton apparently had
good reason to object to the guard
it seems strange that he should wait
until the bout had started before
bringing the nia'ter up ,for discus
sion. The sifcht of the rubber
mouthpiece could not have been a
surprise to Brit ton, lor it was not
the first time that Lewis had used 'it.
To many about the ring it looked as
though the whole thing was a bit of
stage play for the purposcjof inject
ing excitement into what was bound
to be a tame bout.
Soon after the bell raugJor the
start of the first round Brrfton pro

Jack Dempsey to Be
Married Next July
New York, Feb. 28. Prepare
for the biggest society event in
years.
Jack Dempsey, world's cham

Who, when and where Demp

But Jack(Kearns, manager of
Dempsey, has acknowledged that
the champion is in love, and that
he may marry shortly after July

"I know the girl," says Kearns.
She's all right, but it's up to
Dempsey to tell the newspapers
her name if he wants to."

mouth guard. Britton's protests
went unheeded and finally a ruling
was obtained by Referee Nugent
from one of the boxing commis

a mouth guard was not illegal. The
fact remains that the use of any
foreign substance to aid a boxer
from the punishment that might be

lacks true sportsmanship.
