SELECTION FOR ALL FIGHTS BY

BOARD OF CONTROL SUGGESTED

B, GEOFFREY SIMPSON

Although the boxing season is still young I have been sur- prised by the number of complaints that have reached me as to the standard of refereeing, and personal observation forces the conclusion that there is ample justification for the grumbles.

Complaints against the handling of major events are happily rare, because the Board of Control takes upon itself the selection of referees for all championship fights. It is the refereeing of second-grade fights which is the subject of so much criticism.

A bad decision in a minor bout This, question of competence is is possibly of nu grent concern to serious enough, but there is an spectators, but to the suffering even more important aspect of the boxer-in all likelihood a young problem demanding investigation striving for a place in the sun the appointment of referees by -the mistakon Judgment of a promoters. referee moans the difference be- tween success and failure in his
