“IN A SAD STATE"
boxing in united states.
(Per Press Association. —Copyright.) WELLINGTON, This Day.
“The fight game in the United States is in a very sad state, and they have brought it about themselves by bad management/’ said Mr Charles Lucas, of Sydney, who. with a team of boxers whom he engaged in America, is a through passenger by tho Maunganui. "In my opinion, putting the dollar before the game has brought about the position in existence today,” said Mr Lucas, ■ ‘ * The no foul rule adopted in America was the greatest thing ever done for boxing. The boxers wore protected by shields, and it was claimed that no injury could’be received from low blows.”
