THE New York State Boxing Commission recently decided on a move that should go down in the laws of every other legalized boxing State in these forty-eight United States. It seems that Mr. William Muldoon of the “three wise men’ who form the New York “Commish” rose to his feet at a recent meeting and handed out this line: “There has been entirely too much holding in recent bouts and we propose to have it stopped. Hereafter the referees will be warned to take note of this particular breach and holding will count against the offender in the final reckoning that will be instrumental in rendering the decision. - ’ tt tt tt In other and plainer words if two fighters fight on fairly even terms and there is doubt existing as to the winner, the verdict should go to the man who did the holding, if any. Check! tt tt a THEY’RE telling a “hot"’ yarn on Johnny Risko, who, it is reported, has a gift for stinging repartee. During the Sharkey-Risko engagement the two participants partook

of considerable conversation. Here’s Risko’s version of the affair: “Every time I hit him in the belly he said—'Keep ’em up, you ham’.” “What did you answer?” Johnny was queried. “Well, 1 stopped him every time. I just said—“ You're a ham yourself.”
