SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4. — Th<
rule which obtains in amateur boxinj
contests calling for a decision for on*
man or the other and which preclude*
the referee from awarding a draw de
cision has come in for conslderabl*
< discussion of late and arguments havt
been advanced both for and against
the ruling. The opinions expressed
by men who have been prominently
identified with the sport in an offi
cial capacity are given here.
Biddy Bishop, Tacoma, sport writer,
who has had experience in the boxing
game as a manager and refree, says:
A “I did not see the inconsistence of the
rule until 1 refereed the Far West
Championships in Seatle last April.
"On the second night of the Far
West Championship tournament. Bully
Hughes, of the Olympic Club, finished
undefeated and met in the 125-pound
class finals. At the end of their three
rounds, the boys were on an even foot
ing.
“The two Judges — Dr. James Car
roll of Tacoma, and Charley Hulen of
Seattle, both capable judges of boxing
form—voted for an extra round. At
the end of that round the judges,
knowing that it was even, but observ
ing the rules of the A. A. U„ disagreed,
one voting for Baird and one for
Hughes. It w'as up to me to name the
winner, and I could not, for it was an
out and out draw.
"I was told I had to follow the rules
and name a winner. I promptly told
the officials of the club and likewise
the two opposing bdxing instructors
of the club that I could not pick a
winner and do both contestants and
myself justice. They insisted, and to
avoid any disagreeable comment I
called the men to the center of the
ring and told them 1 would toss a coin
to see which one I should give it to.
The coin turned up heads, and Hughes
won the championship; but to this day
1 believe Baird was just as much en
titled to it as Hughes."
Herbert A. Hauser, for years secre
tary of the Pacific Association branch
of the A. A. U. says:
"Amateur boxing is by no means the
same as the professional sport. The
knockout that figures so prominently
with the professionals is not desired
and is not sought for. Amateur box
ing is aimed to show cleverness and
skill. Judges who are awake to their
work ought to be able to tell the dif
ference in the score of points between
two boys in the ring, and as a rule 1
do not believe there is any hardship
in giving what may appear a shade
decision."
Stanley Fay, who has had a world
of experience in judging and referee
ing amateur bouts, says:
“I have yet to see a bout in which
it would be impossible to render a de
cision. Of course, some of them are
close, but when it comes down to that
there is always some fellow who is
doing the leading or excelling in one
way or another. Biddy Bishop got
into a jam in Seattle and violated the
amateur rules when he tossed a coin
to determine a winner."
Seattle golf critics believe that In
eighteen-year-old Clarence Griswold
they have the makings of a future
champion of the United States. Grls
,-wold, for six or eight years, was em
ployed as a caddie on the links of the
Seattle Golf Club. Two years ago he
entered his first tournament, when he
easily defeated all the other caddies
who worked with him. The next year,
playing in improved form, he dupli
cated the feat, and at the same time,
his playing was such it attracted the
attention of the club members.
I„ast season he entc-ed the Potlatch
championship, the big annual gold me
dal event of the Northwest, and fin
ished fourth in a field composed of the
best golf talent of that part of the
country. With his eight years' close
association with the game, the young
ster has a working knowledge and an
experience that few older men pos
sess. He is said to have an ideal golf
ing temperament, being cool and on
excitable at every stage of the game.
He thinks the game out for himsell
and some of the conclusions he has
arrived at are interesting. Here are
some of them:
Don’t use too heavy clubs.
Practice alone; not in competition.
Use a few clubs, and use them well.
Don't overdo it and get stale.
, Play naturally.
Don't copy another's style.
In explaining his first suggestion,
Griswold says that many make the
mistake of choosing clubs which are
altogether too heavy. He uses ladies’
clubs altogether, although this is an
exception to the rule.
Many make the mistake of playing
to win — and not to improve —- the
youngster thinks. He believes that
a couple of hours of good hard prac
tice — driving and putting — is of
more benefit than ten match games.
He advises conscientious work while
playing, but not too much of it. He
thanks m3ny prospective tournament
players spend too much time on the
links.
Griswold does not think the young
player benefits much by attempting to
copy the strokes of famous players.
Get the correct form he advises, but
do not attempt to play unnaturally.
Griswold, different than most golf
ers, has not yet stroke or club. He
trvs to play well. When he falls be
hind in one department of the game
he starts to build up the weak depart
ment.
He has what experts call the ideal
golfing temperament. He plays a shot
the same way every time — whether
in practice or whether the champion
ship depends upon its success. It is
this advantage which local followers
of the game believe will make young
Griswold a gold medal golfing star.
