Fans Blamed for Dark Reputation of Gotham Boots
New York editors quote prominent figures on Broadway crowd misbehavior at boxing shows. Director David Wy. Griffith urges purifying audiences to clean boxing venues. William Muldoon criticizes spectators as the core problem, noting no penalties for disorderly fans and frequent uproar at ringside. Italian Jewish fighter pairing cited as profitable but inflames bias. The three-judge decision system is defended as logical.
