Where Every State Is Autonomous

There Is No Enforcing A Safety Programme For American Boxing

By CORNELIUS RYAN

With appropriate fanfare, the American National Boxing Association has reaffirmed its programme for safety in professional boxing, but only the most nalve observer expects any appreciable improvement.

The safety programme, suggesting suspensions for boxers who have been knock- ed out, more rigid examination of boxers, and other reforms, was criacted at the 1948 convention with much the same fanfare-and 1949 has been a tragic year, with 14 deaths caused by boxing.
