Mills Lane -- the consummate no-nonsense referee whose presence as third man in the ring insured that BS would not be tolerated, will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, N.Y. on Sunday. Lane, whose appeal transcended boxing and culminated in his own syndicated TV program, "Judge Mills Lane" (1998-2001), suffered a stroke in 2002, and his presence at Canastota was not a given. His son Terry told ESPNNewYork.com that it wasn't decided until a few weeks ago whether the Lanes, including younger brother Tommy and their mom, Kaye, would make the trip.
