three weights. They were feather
weight, 112 pounds ring side; light,
weight, 1873 pounds; middleweight, 154
pounds. The lightweight limit alone is
still observed. Many great fighters
fought at the weight, McAuliffe and
Lavigne, for instance, without running
over it, and so the figure stuck.
A few years ago a party of American
sporting men, composing the American
Boxing league, met and adopted a
standard weight schedule. However,
they did their work without authorize
ton. and the weights did not come into
general use. 1t was: Bantam, 10;
feather, 800; special, 1870; light, 40;
welter, $50; middle, 160; light heavy,

fighters that none of the ordinary
heavyweights seems to have a chance
with him. 1t would be better to make
the light heavyweight limit $50 pounds,
leaving margin of twenty pounds in
the light heavyweight class. The heavy
weights are usually near the 200 mark
or above it. Take Jeffries, who weighs

ject which the managers of fights would
do well to take under consideration If
some amicable understanding of the
weights cannot be reached it would be
better to throw weights out of the mat

A Loss 70 ACTRESSES.

Popular actresses made in the past
from $500 to $500 a year on the sale OF
their photographs. but now this source
of revenue is altogether lost to them.
Relative to this subject a well known
actress said recently:
Il drew from my photographer up to
ten years ago a regular annual income
of $500. / was under contract to pose
only for him. He had the exclusive
sale of my pictures, and on each pic
ture that he sold he paid me a royalty.
THAT is the way it used to be with
popular actresses. They signed papers
to the effect that they would pose only
for one photographer, and he signed
papers to the effect that he would pay
them royalty on each of their pic
lures that he sold. Thus they made
easily from IS to s25 a week.
mo such pleasant condition exists to-
day. The change is due to that perfect
ing of the half tone process whereby the
magazines, the week1ies and the news
papers can reproduce photographs
beautifully.
LAS soon as that reproduction began
the theatrical managers spared no
pains to get photographs of their lead
ing women printed, for they recognized
that the publication of such photo
graphs was an excellent advertisement.
They ordered their leading women to
pose for any and every newspaper or
magazine photographer who presented
himself, and they had additional pho
tographs made for free distribution
among the various publications of the
land.
Thus the actresses were forced to
break their contracts with their own
photographers. Thus, too, the sale of
the pictures fell off, for these pictures.
which formerly were rare enough and
interesting enough to sell readily, were
now become so common through their
reproduction in innumerahle prints that
hardly any one cared to buy them.
I'VE stage folk are not averse to get
ting our pictures printed. We are glad.
on the whole, that the reproduction Of
photographs in newspapers and maya
zines has become general At the same
time, though, we regret the pleasant
royalties that we no longer draw"

sIlL REID AND HARVARD.

Now that William Reid, the famous
Harvard football player and coach of
the winning 1901 crimson team, has ac-
tually left California for the east Har-
ward undergraduates are practically
sure that next summer will see him at
the head of football affairs at Harvard
1t is well known that vigorous efforts
have been made since the close of the
past football season to get Reid to go
to Harvard as the head coach of the
eleven for a term of years His depar-
ture from California, although it is not
known what his plans are is taken to
mean that those negotiations have at
least been so successful that Reid is
coming for a final conference with the
football authorities to make definite
terms for an engagement to cover sew
eral years.
Hurley's reelection to the captaincy
last fall was regarded at the time it
was announced as the first move to-
ward securing Reid as head coach.
Reid is one of the most Independent
men who ever coached Harvard, and
the knowledge that he was to have a
man of the caliber of Captain Hurley
to. work with was thought to greatly
increase the chances of his coming.

one or two dyspepsia laden critics of

commentator of the player and the
play. Tt is said that David Belasco has
advertised himself as 1.-The wizard of the

may seem, ''Adrea" warrants the ap-
plication of it to this unparalleled stage
director. The theme of "Adrea" is
strikingIy unusual dealing with blind
princess who RECEIVERS her sight nirac-
ulously only to find that she has been
welded to a court fool.
Mrs Carriers company is capable in
almost every respect, and her new We
hicle should prove even a greater fnan-
cial success than "Zaza" and "Du Bar
ry." That it is a far greater artistic
success cannot be denied. In this play
Mrs Carter reaches emotional depths
and develops trenchant forcefulness
that place her high among the leading
tragediennes of the age.

American Officials.

The officials OF the American ANA
teur Hockey league pride themselves on
their severity, and certainly the mem
bers are above reproach so far as their
amateur standing is concerned.
Howard Drakely of the Crescent Ath-
letic club of Brooklyn is president of
the Amateur Hockey league, and he is
well known throughout the ice sport
world as a disciplinarian of the most
rigid sort.
One handicap to the growth of hook
ey in the United States is the lack of

garden, in Pittsburg. is practically the
only rink that compares favorably with
those of Canada. The game is taking
on new impetus in Chicago, and it is to
be hoped that the Windy Cityites will
soon erect rink of suitable size.
Hockey to be well played requires a
floor space 200 feet long. None of the
first class Canadian Kinks measures less
than that from end to end. The st.
Nicholas rink, in New York, is about
$50 feet long, while the Clermont, in
Brooklyn. is only $50 feet, but much
wider than the st. Nicholas. The Du-
quesne garden measures 200 feet.

-'.You Never Can TeII.'

You Never Can Tell" is as bright a
bit of comedy as even the confirmed
hair splitter could sigh for. George
Bernard Shaw, always enjoyable, leads
his characters through a series of
amusing situations and complications
that cause a reasonable conclusion to
seem absolutely impossible. When he
has convinced you that the play cannot
have any end at all he turns around
and illustrates the absolute simplicity
of the problem. That is Shaw-esque
and picturesque, synonymous express

Mr. Daily seems to have the Unborn
faculty to fit well into Mr.. Shaw's lead

THE Man of Destiny and in How

strike a single false note of any appre-
ciable account, and now in you Never

ncanueks Superior. Rutv-

Many able critics state unhesitatingly
that Canadian teams are far superior
to the Americans, but they add, our
amateur requirements are much more
strict, and consequently we cannot use
a large number of players that would
greatly strengthen our sevens.
TN Canada" they continue, "most
teams are really semiprofessional.
Players receive shares of the gate re
ceipts, and some men derive comfort
able hvings from sport that down
here is more purely amateur than al
most any other. So long as Canadians
are lax in their eligibility rules just so
long will their sevens prove superior to
ours"
Those statements certainly reveal
state of affairs that illustrates the fu-
tflity of taking seriously comparisons
of the respective playing abilities of the
teams of the two countries.

A Canadians View.

A well known Canadian cover point
now playing in the States was asked
recently what he considered the most
notable difference between hockey in
Canada and in the United States
"You may be surprised said he,
''but the greatest difference is in the
spectators.
Tin the Dominion onlookers are far
more charitable than down here. For
instance, when 1 am ruled out OF a
game in New York or Brooklyn the
spectators yell at me, accuse me of
dirty work and boot when I go back
into play. In Canada the people take

fouls are purely accidental, and they
know it. Hockey is so fast that no

CONCERNING FIGHTING WEIGHT.

One of the sensational features of the
Jimmy Britt Battling Nelson fight was
the fact that it was rather IudicrousIy
advertised as being for the feather
weight championship of the world" this
in spite of the fact that the men
weighed in at 1872 pounds at 6 o'clock
and entered the ring at nearly 40
pounds. No wonder the newspaper
critics are beginning to refer to the alb
surdity of having any recognized
weights, a phase of the situation which
has been persistently referred to ever
since Young Corbett defeated Terry
AIcGevern at 126 pounds for the feath-
erweight championship Young Cor
bett claimed the right to the title, and
when Jimmy Britt defeated him at 100
pounds the Californian assumed the
right to wear the title and has now
found it convenient to boost the limit
to 1872 pounds to suit the exigencies of
the moment.
The featherweight limit is 122 pounds
ring side, and Terry NcGovern was the
last man to win the title at that weight.
Any fighter above 122 pounds and I'M
der 1873 is a lightweight.
Here are some interesting facts about
the weights: The featherweight limit
of 122 is accepted only because the til
tie has been fought for at that figure on
many occasions.
The old lighting rules acknowledged

Then, again, Canadians are at some
what of a disadvantage in playing in
THE States" The climate and Kinks
are different, and the men do not train
so rigidly as they would for games in
their own land. There is so much to
see in our cities necessarily new and
strange to them that much of their
time is spent in taking in the sights;"
also when a team from Montreal, To-
ronto or Quebec goes to New York, for
instance, it cannot always carry its
best men owing to the length of time
they would have to remain away from
business or college.

Comparisons are frequently made be-
tween the sevens of the United States
and the teams of the Dominion. In
some instances it is difficult to decide
in favor of either side. Still the situa-
ton can best be summed up by stating
that in contests in Canadian Kinks the
subjects of King Edward excel, but
that in Kinks this side of the st. Law
renee the Americans have held their
own OF course we must remember
that many Canadians are members of
American teams and that therefore we
should not take the credit of the per-
formances of some of these sevens en-
tirely to ourselves. For instance, on
the Wanderers of New York, champions
of the American Amateur Hockey
league. two of the ablest players are
natives of the Dominion.
