Old-Fashioned Sock on Chin to Determine Ring Crowns Once More in N. Y.
sommissidn NOT TO SHIFT TITLES OF WILYGHAMPS Gotham Boxing Body to Suspend Scrappers Who Do Not Accept Challenges, t By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK. Oot. 27. Old fashioned socks and taps on the chin have been restored by the New York boxing commission as the approved and official way of jarring off ring titles. Championships in New York will be changed hereafter in the ring and not in the private sanctum of the office where fatal resolutions have been passed against several champions in the past. Admitting that it had been placed in a rather foolish position by trying to change the old order of making champions, the commission will pass at its meeting anew rule turning the game back to the “system sock.” Pocket book Punch Figuring that the better way to punish a boxer would be to strike at his pocketbook instead of assaulting his pride, the commission now plans to keep from working the champions who will not defend their title and allow them to keep a championship which will have no financial standing. Any champion in the future who refuses to accept a bona fide challenge every six months will be suspended and refused permission to earn money in the State. The Exception In only one case will the commission use the ballot in awarding a title. Where a champion grows out of his weight class or retires from the ring, the commission will act to name a successor, but anew champion will not be appointed. The commission indicated that with the exception of the welterweight and bantam classes, in which Mickey Wajker and Joe Lynch are giving the commission the merry razz, it was well satisfied with the present status of all the champions.

NOTRE DAI IN GAME WITH lEAM FROM SOUTHLAND ; Intersectional Grid Scrap | Holds Eyes of State and Nation, By United Press SOUTH BEND. Ind., Oot. 27.—The “fighting Micks' 'of Notre Dame went to battle today against Georgia Tech, seeking to add fresh victory to their season of conquest. Chesty, but not too confident after humbling the Array and Princeton on successive Saturdays, the Irish remained at homo this week-end to take on one of the strongest teams In the South. A capacity crowd of fans welcomed the conquering heroes to their own playground.

With Father Time finally slowing up the great Tyrus. George Sisler en tered os the logical successor for Cobb's crown. The great first saeker of the St. Louis Browns had earned the right to the title of the game's greatest star, when an affliction of the eye cut short his career. Si9ler dia not play a single game last season. Frisch the Groat With the veteran Cobb out of the running, and Sisler' in doubt, the honor of being rated the game's greatest all-round player must be passed I to Frisch. | The work of Frankie Frisch in the j 1923 aeries between the Yankees and ; the Giants was nothing short of remarkable. He starred in the field and •at the bat. He made a dozen seem- | ingly Impossible plays in the field. | and at the bat was a constant source j of annoyance to the Yankee pitchers. Natural Batter Frisch is a natural batsman. He is a shift hitter. In terms of base- ! bail that means he bats either from the right or left side of the plate. Frisoh prefers to bat left-handed. It is impossible for the opposition to play for Frisch. Ho is a place hitter. driving the balls to all fields ae cording to the style of the pitch and | the position of the opposing outfield. Speed Galore j Unquestionably Frisch is the fast- ; est man in the National League, if | not both leagues. His only rival in \ tblß respect is Archdeacon of the ; Chicago White Sox. There is little j to choose between the two. In the field his work is uncanny. ; He goes to his right or left with equal ease and his great speed enable* him i to cover a wide range of territory.
