THE future of boxing is bright
I say this despite the fact that
prejudice toward the game has been
built up by years of opposition
against it
People who never saw a boxing
match and they are In the great ma-
jority have become Imbued with the
Idea that it Is brutal. They believe
and take to heart all the arguments
that the professional reformer has
shot at boxing in order to keep on
the job.
Sure boxing- U broral. from
one point of view.
But It Is also
brutal to see some cannon ball
pitcher nnll a batter on the head.
It's brutal too. when a man I
spiked - on the bases. And we
wont go Into trite expressions of
brutalities In footbalU
All sports have the brutal feature.
