Chandler picked the period (rum
March 1 to April 1 as the term of

regarded as a severe blow to his use-

stmmons professed Ignorance of the
provisions of the tampering" law.
Chandler said, "huch ignorance Is
not excused now and will not be in

Then he gave the younger crop
of fight managers a blast for say-

not as good as the old timers and
that the college kids won t box
“I never knew a college boxer
