Talking It Over BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK. April 7. OPERATING on the theory that several million fight fans can't be wrong, the New York boxing commission is considering the advisability of changing the present formula of deciding winners and losers In the noble science of beak busting. The pre *nt formula calls for a majority v ote among three presiding officials, the referee and two Judges. This represents a departure from the old formula where only the referee had a voice in the matter. B It B Tb* theorT of nrla<-ine rldlrnUu* ftrrUlon* Wb'rf onlr "nf * PO**'M In tb past trtrt nqf of sinister *u(rKeUlons toorhlnc on *n<l *PD*rtinln* to the rull*btlitT of the third man in the rinr.

Alt has worked out, there have been some very Iromaßenous decisions, as we aav In the eheee works, and not nil of th winners selected b? a community vote ihave anjoved the whole-hearted support of 'the cuitomers. aa ’ a This situation bas started the rommlsaioner* to thinkine —a painful process in Itself—and at the moment, they are rnn•ideeins the idea of sddinsr two more votes to the jrrand total. In short, instead of two Judges, they propose to have four, one on each side of the rine. There also will be a referee. a a a Thus In the future, if the scheme Is accepted, the winner will be adjudged oil the jwaltered returns of five precincts, the best, or worst, three cut of rive deciding the vital Issue of whether Schmaltz beat Blots. a a a THE proposed innovation is not withoutmerit. Certainly it has been demonstrated that three persons can be as emphatically cockreyed as one. There is small chance that five could do worse, and there Is always the possibility that they might do better. There Is also the very definite fact that It Is possible to sec a fight, one way from one angle and another way from another angle. The addition of two more [Judges, assigning them to the present unjudged, if that is the word, sides of the ring would, granting their competency, insure a more complete optical and Judicial coverage of action in the ring. a a a Very few person* see a fight alike, and bow yon see a flrhf. eliminating sentimental leaninc*. depends In no small detree on where you sit and the angle you see It from. It Is entirelv possible to sit In the press row at a fight on one side of the ring at the closest possible ranre and rateh a mental picture of it that will not jibe at alt with a version caught on the opposite side. a a a A physical element enters Into this, and it is rather important, from one side it is possible to watch only what the right hand does, and from the other only the effective scoring of the left hand is clearly visible, and since points are tallied in the aggregate a certain amount of guess work is inevitably involved. a a a Conceding this to be so. the proposal to Install four judges instead of two has its virtues. At least all sides of the ring would be covered and there Is the hopeful chance that when the ballots are tabulated a complete cheek up of the night's work wonld be reached. I think the idea has fine possibilities and I hope the comn.ls■fon adapts It. It mar not do ;ny good, but I don't see where It can do a iv harm. Knute Rockiie Enters Clinic H "mIAMI^BEACH. Fla..

RED SOX END VISIT TODAY; TIGERS NEXT ON BILL

Bill Burwell Slated for Tribe Mound Job in Last Boston Tilt Hall and Wolf, Southpaws, Booked to Pitch for Locals Against Detroit Tuesday; Cvengros and Freigau Do Best Work for Indians Over Week-End. Heinie Wagner’s Boston Red Sox were two up on the Indians as the teams prepared to wind up the series of three games this afternoon and Manager Corriden planned to use Bill Burwell and George Payne on the mound in an effort to snare one win from the Beantown pastimers. ished out in front, 8 ; , 6. Corriden figured to start Burwell today and let him stay in there about six innings. Bucky Harris’ Detroit Americans will invade the West Washington lot Tuesday to conclude a three-game set started with the Indians in Florida, and it is believed Prentice Hall and Waller Wolf, southpaws, will be used against the Tigers. The Tribesmen twice beat the Detroiters in the grapefruit league, 5 to 1 and 10 to 4.

Amcng the famous athletes comj ing with the Tigers are Dale Alex- ! ander, heavy clubbing first baseman; | Charlie Gehringer, wizard second sacker: McManus, Rice, Fothergill ! and others. The contest will start at 2:30, and today’s finale with the Red Sox also was to get under way at 2:30 instead of 3 as previously announced. Cvengros in Form Mike Cvengros pitched great ball for the Corridenites Saturday and held the Red Sox to three hits and one run in seven innings. Elmer Ambrose followed Mike in the box and got bombarded. A triple by Howard Freigau was the longest Tribe safety and the new third sacker also starred in the field with seven assists and one putout, some of the chances being difficult. Koenecke and Warstler also turned in some fancy fielding. In Sunday’s battle Claude Jonnard couldn’t hold the Sox and they blasted him for thirteen hits in seven stanzas good for six runs. The rangy veteran failed to get his fast ball by the Boston sluggers and was touched for home runs by Todt and Scarritt. Todt, swinging lefthanded lifted the sphere over the low left field fence with the aid of a stiff breeze. Luck Against “Hilde” Oral Hildebrand, former Butler collegian, hurled the last two rounds for the Tribe and bad breaks handicapped him to the extent the visitors scored twice in the ninth. Todt got a “life” twice when catcher Crouse was fooled by the wind on high fouls and Todt thereupon hit the ball over the low right field fence for his second homer of the day. The other Boston rim off Hilde was produced by Reeves’ single, an out and Mulroney’s double. Freigau led the Tribe attack with four hits in five times up and Koenecke poled a triple and two singles. Some of the glamour was washed off Koenecke’s record, however, when he fanned in the eighth with the bases populated. Ollie Bejma. playing left in the place of Barnhart, was a busy lad and in addition to shining in the pasture got two singles and drove out two sacrifice fly balls. This South Bend youngster has the real baseball heart. Batting averages of the Indian regulars, against eight league opponents, follow; G AB H Aver.

Pin Titles Cinched in A.B.C.Meet Bowling Classic Near End; Chicago Star Grabs AllEvents Lead. By I’nitrsi Prr ,<?* CLEVELAND, 0.. April 7.—A* the thirtieth annual American Bowling Congress today rolls Into the last ;ap of its thirty-eight day stand with the bowling of the final doubles and singles games. The champion five-man outfit has been found and the winners of the remaining three divisions arc practically certain to be the present leaders in the singles, doubles and all events. To the veteran pinsters who make up the D. Graff & Sons outfit of Kalamazoo. Mich., goes the SI,OOO first prize for winning the team title of the world's biggest pin classic. The even 3.100 total put on the boards last Friday night by the Michigan quintet received a close call Saturday night but managed to stand the last minute barrage of contenders over the weekend. Sunday saw the greatest pin wrecking of the tournament in the individual and two-man classes, but not a single team was able to hit the sticks for a total deserving of a place among the first ten. Saturday night the S. & L. Motors of Chicago missed equaling the winning total by eighteen pins. It was a member of the S. & L. Motors, George Morrison, who practically sewed up the all events title by winding up his nine games with a 1,985 total. In the singles division, the all time record score of 774 made by Larry Shotwell of Covington, Ky., ten days ago, is conceded the title.
