 Harry Forbes says that he has reached the stage where he can no longer fight at the bantamweight limit and do himself justice. The ex-cham- pion of paperweights says that he was weak from reducing when he fought Feltz last week and that in the future he will fight at 120 pounds. Forbes is not very strenuous trainer and that is probably the reason why he will fight at higher weight. Like his brother Clarence, he is inclined to loaf He does not like the long trips on the road and he would prefer a cold bottle. to weak tea any day. This does not mean that the little fellow is a booze fighter" for he is not. Forbes takes very good care of himself, but his best friend will say that he is the laziest trainer in the business When he has three weeks to prepare for fight he takes things easy until the last week. and as a natural consequence. when he has much weight to take off he enters the ring weak. At 120 pounds he will not have to reduce. and at that weight he. will be hard to beat. San Francisco Bulletin. esr~5t
