Tne famil iar announcement In Introducing fighters that "both are members of this club" is heard no more Tlio new ord.T t things is tne re sult of a law establishing a "tafe box ing commission, and stipulating some of the conditions under which the sport must be conducted. These provide for ten round bouts, !he rounds of three minutes each, to bo conducted by clubs licensed by the commission under bonds of $5,000. Decisions are given by a referee and two judges, licensed by the com mission. The members of the board, four days after their appointment, laid down supplementary regula tions under which each Judge 1b re quired to write and sign his decision and the referee decides If they dis agree.

The physician Is required to examine the contestants three hours before the bout and to certify In writing that each boxer is physically fit.
