HOPE FOR CHANGE
IN NEW JERSEY
BOXING LAWS
Boxing fans throughout the East
are hoping that the New Jersey box
ing law is amended that fifteen round
bouts will be permitted. It is the
proper distance to thoroughly guage
a boxer's ability and not too long to
make the milling slow or uninterest
ing. Why "a fifteen round is harm
ful to pubic morals," as one oppo
nent of the amendment recently al
leged, and an eight round bout Is
not. is hard to see.
The chances are roseate for the
New Jersey Legislature permitting
the hoped for increase in the num
ber of rounds. Information has
trickled into political circles on the
Jersey side that New York verv
shortly will pass a bill permitting
ither ten or fifteen round contests
i here. New Jersey promoters will ba
left high and dry with their eight
' round bouts if that occurs. Jersey
politicans probably will so amend the
present law as to forestall any move
I made here and permit the Jersey
piumuieia to meet meir rsew jcork
j rivals on even terms.
