PHILADELPHIA, May 19 (by Asso
dated Press).—Philadelphia’s directoi
of public safety, James T. Cortelyou
recently announced a new code ol
rules to govern boxing bouts in this
city which it is believed will benefit
the ring sport. Under the old rules
which had been in vogue for about
nine years, all bouts were limited tc
six rounds, but Director Cortelyou has
decided to allow bouts of eight rounds
duration. He claims that by length
ening the number of rounds, boxers
will be less apt to “stall” and everj
fighter who signs up for at match will
have £o “weight in” at, or under, the
stipulated weight called for in his
contract. The director also has as
serted that the new code will be en
forced to the letter and has warned
all promoters, managers and boxers to
that effect. Following are some of the
new rules:
Contestants shall not be permitted
to have more than three attendants
or seconds and these must refrain
from coaching during the progress of
the rounds.
Seconds shall use a fan and not a
towel for fanning boxers.
All seconds shall remain in their
boxers’ corner during the bout and not
place themselves in a neutral corner.
Throwing water by seconds on their
man during a round shall disqualify
the boxer, and one-half of the latter’s
money shall go to a hospital to be
designated by the club.
Wherever a boxer is apparently out
classed the bout must be stopped.
No boxer shall be allowed to contest
against an opponent ten pounds
heavier than himself, in the light
weight class or under.
Weights shall be announced from
the ringside.
Only soft bandages shall be allowed
®n boxers’ hands.
Only six-round bouts permissible.
The foul blow known as the “kid
ney punch” shall be barred.
Smoking shall be prohibited.
No boxer shall be permitted to wear
white costume.
Every contestant must be furnished
with a contract, signed by manager,
boxer and promoter.
Greasing a boxer shall not be per
mitted.
All contestants in star bouts shall
report to the superintendent of police
twenty-four hAurs before the contest.
In case of disappointment the public
must be notified.
Gloves jnust be put on in the ring.
Gambling in any form shall be pro
hibited. Any boxer, manager or
handler guilty of gambling shall be
barred from contests in this city for
all time.

[DOMESTIC HERD
CATTLE TURN
Chirikoff island, onq, of the isolated
strips of land embraced in the Alaskan
archipelago, lying just to the west
! ward of Kodiak island, is the habitat
of a large herd of wild cattle possess
ing but little resemblance to the do
mesticated animals transported there
in 1890, according to E. G. McMicken,
general passenger agent of the Pacific
Steamship Company, who has just re
turned from a trip North, says the Se
attle Post-Intellingencer.
From available data the cattle, of
which 199 were recently counted, are
the offspring of a few cows and a bull
sent to that islond 30 years ago by
the Semidi Propagation Company, a
concern long since out of existence,
but which at that time cherished an
idea of raising beef cattle in Alaska.
As the propagation project failed to
thrive materially during the first two
or three years of the experiment, the
Semidi company abandoned the idea
and soon passed out, and for a long
period the transplanted cattle were
: forgotten. Chirikoff island is an iso
lated one, and is seldom visited. Re
cently, however, according to Mc
Micken, a party of hunters desirous of
investigating Chirikoff’s offerings for
sport, went to the island, and from a
high bluff enumerated 199 of the now
wild cattle.
j They reported the herd to be ex
| tremely wild, flying at the least noise
I foreign to their surroundings. The
cattle are described as being but a
trifle smaller than the average do
mestic herd, but coated with long,
shaggy, apparently black hair, and
possessed of long horns once common
among Texas herds.
The animals are described as being
very agile, and as active in that hilly
island as mountain goats. Wild cattle
such as these described on Chirikoff
are also known to habitate on Whale
island, but the presence of the latter
has been known for some time, and
they are frequently shot by whalers
for beef. The Chirikoff herd had not
hitherto been reported, for visits to
thic island are, or have been, decidely
infrequent.
McMicken is thinking seriously of
organizing a hunting party for the pur
pose of visiting this island during the
j coming summer.
OFFICIAL ITALIAN
WAR SCENES FILMED .
AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
Everyone is tired of the war. For
the past two years the news pictures
have been filled with marching men
and military preparations. We have
had a surfeit of so-called “war pic
tures” with faked battle scenes—many
of them exceedingly well done and
! realistic, but nevertheless “made to
| order.”
We are just beginning now to get
the real thing in war films—the pic
tures that were actually taken at the
front during the war and which, for
obvious reasons, were not then avail
able for public use. An instance of
such a film was one recently shown
here, “Submarine U-35,” depicting the
destruction of Allied shipping by the
German subs.
The most remarkable picture shown
to date is the official Italian war
scenes, entitled “Italy’s Flaming
Front,” giving a comprehensive idea
of the activities of the Italian army
along the entire front, from the snow
capped Alps to the blue waters of the
Adriatic sea.
Some of the views are similar to
those we have already seen in the
Pathe News, but the large part of this
six-reel Italian picture is entirely n3w.
Imagine an entire battalion, uni
formed in white, advancing to an at
tack on skiis on the Alpine peaks.
Imagine an actual battle in the air
between the Austrian and Italian bat
tle planes. Imagine a night attack on
the Austrian trenches, guided by giant
searchlights installed high on the
mountain-side.
Aside from entertainment, this film
has an educational value not to be
underestimated. It must be disasso
ciated from the usual run of faked
“war story pictures” and recognized
for what it is, the official organ where
by Italy tells the world of her share
in the world’s war. Showing tonight
at the Empress.
