IN THE PRIZE RING

Jimmy Tremble of this city has is
sued a challenge to Bob Thompson, the
colored lightweight who recently won
several fights here. Tremble is ready
to post any reasonable amount as a for
felt. He demands, however, that Thomp-
son allow him to weigh in at 15O pounds.
He will fight before any organiza ton
which offers purse worth the contest
The proposition to pull off the Sharkey-
Jeffries contest in this city has been
abandoned. 1t was proposed that the
two men be brought here, as no difficulty
was expected In the effort to get per-
mission for the fight. The reason for
this was the inability of the managers
of the two men to secure the permit in
San Francisco. Letters were written
from this city to the two men, but their
terms were so high as to make the fight
here out Of the question. If the men
meet at all soon 1t will be next month
In San Francisco.

but both men have gone into training
again and they will be able to get the

In answer to correspondent in this
city, the San Francisco Chronicle pub
fishes the following in regard to weights:
Weight limits for boxers are badly
mixed. Several attempts have been
made to get the leading authorities to-
gether to agree upon new system, but
nothing has come of it. The weights
under the London prize ring rules were
as follows: Featherweight, up to 118
pounds; lightweight, 11s to 1888; middle
weight, 1873 to 154; heavyweight, over
154. The weights generally considered
to be those Of the Marquis of Queens
berry rules are as follows: Feather
weight, up to 122 pounds; lightweight
122 to 1873; middleweight, 1873 to 1853;
142 pounds, others from 140 to 142, and
heavyweight, over 1853. Still, one author
ity insists that the middloweight limit
Is or should be 156 pounds. AS there are
great many men who can fight we'll at
140 or 142 pounds the so-called welter-
weight class was established. The lin
its of this weight have been badly
stretched. Some claim 1t Is from 1873 to
142 pounds, others, from 140 to 142, and
others again from 140 to 145 pounds
Bantams are under 1o5 pounds, though
some stretch that limit to 10S pounds
A class Avery seldom heard of is the
"paperweights" or striplings of S5 or 90
pounds. The only definite limits for
boxers are those laid down for anna
teurs only by the Amateur Athletic
union, and are as follows: Bantam
weight, los pounds and under; feather
weight, lis and under; special class,

AT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PARK
There was good days sport yester-
day also at the Southern California
coursing park, but the enjoyment was
marred very materially when, during the
afternoon, biting wind sprang up and
chilled everyone to the bone. Otherwise
the sport was good, most OF the dogs be-
ing in excellent condition.
There was not very large crowd
present, but as people kept going ana
coming, very few remaining throughout
the entire day the total attendance was
fair. 1t was sporty crowd, too, and OF

kill. In the case referred to Tip Stead

points. 1t is only by proper knowledge
and appreciation Of the points as they
are made by the hounds that a coursine

After having apparently won their

defeat as they could have yesterday at

There were many more errors yesterday,
some Of them costly ones, but they only
added to the interest of the sport. At
first it was a one-sided contest, in which
the home team seemed to have every
thing their own way, but as the game
progressed the visiting team improved
their work and, as stated, came near
winning. For the first three innings
the Los Angeles club hit the ball as they
pleased and made twelve runs, two of
them earned. Then there was a change
of pitchers and only two more scores
were made by the home team. With the
visitors the last three innings were their
best and eight men crossed the plate.
