BOXING REGULATIONS.
PROTECTION TO CONTESTANTS [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION. J NELSON. Tuesday. The Nelson Boxing and Pastimes Association passed a resolution drawing the New Zealand Boxing Council's attention to the magistrate's finding at the inquest on Tapp, where ha stated that the present rule 3 and regulations do not give sufficient protection to boxers in the ring, and that steps be taken to remedy the danger. In some papers the boxing secretary appears as stating in evidence that the canvas matting was removed at the express request of the deceased. The message as sent out from Nelson was: "The canvas matting was over boards, and the match was arranged at the express request of deceased."
