 One hrndrIed and twentyltwo pounds is the featheA'weight limit yet glance over the following will show whole lot of weights Gp that class:
 Young Corbett-Fought Hugh Mur- phy at 12S pounds at o'clock in Bos- ton short time ago:>> Next appearance, 129 pounds with Eddfe Hanlon; fight said to be for the featheSweight cham pionship
 Benny Yanger-Last fight a defeat with Eddie Hanlon his weight at that time being 13O pounds at the ringside, Best weight at the present. time, 12S pounds at o'clock.
 Eddie Hanlon-C Claimant with Young Corbett of the featherweighf champion ship. See Corbett's fguresA
 Terry lcGovern-Dast battle was with Jimmy Briggs in Boston, 126 pounds at o'clock. Had trouble doing the weight and was weak.
 Kid Broad-A big lightweight. Has trouble doing 12S pounds and made no weight for Mowatt in last battle, in which he was beaten. About 13O pounds his best figure.
 Tommy Mowatt-He can make, 126 pounds, but does not care to do it. He fought Broad at New Orleans short time ago. The weight did not cut much figure. Ask 1him for a match a1ld he will name 12S pounds at o'clock. Is always uhere with side bet of $5OO,
 Tim Callahan-Never willing to make weight If terms are acceptable he will fight Ieightweights, because he is one himself. Nobody knows about him.
 Hughey McFadden-A legitimate 124 4-pounM man and tough one to boot He made 4E1fs weight for Tommy Sulli- van and knocked him out in seven rounds
 Hugh Murphy-He fought Young Corbett at a high weight. 13O pounds and was knocked out in eleven rounds. Evidently good man, but cannot do better than 12S pounds, and be strong for a hard fight.
 Au,el1a Herrera-A full-edged light weight. Ask Eddie Santry about this boy. He has been foolfng feather weights for long time Almost knocked McGovern out in a hurry when dle was about ten pounds over Terry's weight.
 Tommy SuEIivan-He. Is honest and says that he cannot do better than 126 a5L4 nl H0 Wouldn't do it, either, to save less than that
 Western Al Smith has been inform ed by Manager Coforth, of the Yo- semitic club of San Francisco, that it is of no use to further discuss the pro position for matching Jack Root with Bob FitBsimmons. TT am through dealing with has-beens," said Cofforth. '"I want no more such exhibitions as that put up by Great Grandmas Gard ner and Frtzsimmons. I shall in the future deal with young and vigorous fellows of the ring"
 Jack McC1eiland of Pittsburg and Rob Weary of Milwaukee fought a rattfing six round bout before the Mfl- waukee A. 0. on Friday night. The
  round Neary sent McClelland to his knees. But McClelland, who was in grand shape, pulled himself together and managed to stay the round out. , Tn the next three rounds he evened things up and in the sixth McClelland l had Neary all but out
 George Dixon just now is the real king in the fighting line abroad His 4,, Rr- 1. -Ni there are many who think he is better liked than Jack O'Bfien of Phfladel- phia, who is also thought great deal victory over Pedlar Palmer, has been de1uged with matches and other en- agreements. All the leading English sporting papers had him as the 12o- pound champion of the world while others pay him homage by declaring that he is one of the greatest pugilists in the business. Just now Dixon has three important matches on. His first will be with Jem Bowker for the Eng fish bantam championship. Follow ing this he will meet Spike Robson for $500 a side and the best purse offered. After this scrap he will agree to give Pedlar Palmer return bout. provided the inducements offered are to his lik- ing.
