BOXING CONTROL
NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION AND OTAGO.
(0T TELEGRAPH.— TtiSSS ASSOCIATION.) ' CHRISTCHURCH, 4th April. The following reference to the dispute between the \otag<v Boxing Association and the New Zealand Boxing Council appears in the annual report of the council, which,has just been issued: "While loth to refer to the difference between the council and the Otago Boxing Association, the council feels that the general interests of the sport require such reference. The council is constituted fqr the purpose of administering the laws, and its decisions are based on the laws; The council's decisions, even if they do not happen to agree with the views of an interested body, are at least entitled to the respect accorded in all branches of sport to the decisions of an impartial tribunal. If the council's decisions are floured, if members of the council are slandered, and if an affort is made to create dissension among affiliated bodies, then it is obvious that any associated body guilty of such excesses is a menace' to the general welfare of the institution to which it is affiliated.
"The Otago Boxing Association has chosen to adopt an attitude for which no precedent can be found in tiie history of sport in New .Zealand. . The controlling body is compelled to take such action as it deems necessary for the safeguarding of the interests of its affiliated associations. The Otago Boaing Association cannot be permitted to remain affiliated."
