AGAIN TALK OF
REVISING WEIGHTS
London Sporting Life Interested in
Changing the Scales That Limit
the Glasses Of Pumdom.

The London Sporting Life, assisted
by the Earl Of Lonsdale. Is trying to
bring about uniform scale Of weights
for boxers in Great Britain and the
United States. and has succeeded In
interesting a number OF promoters and
boxing fans In this country toward
establishing an international board OF
control. A meeting Of international
boxing promoters may be held In
New York In the near future.
There Is always a mix-up in various
classes on account OF the weight. A
good many different boys are claim
ing the bantamweight championship,
and while the featherweight and light
weight classes are presided over by
two very able pugilists. the contention
that "Packey" Mcfarland cannot
make 1873 at the ringside and keep his
strength, while enough of light
weight to make 1876 or 1876, eliminates
a real contender from a championship
contest. It's pretty much the same
way with AID Wolgast In the feather
weight class. He could fight at 124
and would have a splendid chance at
the championship. As the weights
stand now. he Is neither legitimate
featherweight nor a full-grown light
weight. He must concede weight from
one and ask weight from the other.
The weights proposed by the British
would eliminate these two conditions.
as the featherweight would then be
126, at which Wolgast. Owen Moran
and Attell would have to scrap II out.
and the lightweight limit OF 1876 would
probably bring Bat Nelson and Pack
ey Mcfarland together. Johnny Coul-
on would be champion OF the fiyweight
class at 112. and the bantamweight
championship at 11s would fall be-
tween Jimmy Walsh. Denny Webster.
Monte Attell. Charlie Goldman and a
few OF those boys. The welterweight
division, at lat. would stay In the
same mess without real bona fide
champion. At 100 the middleweight
title would still be between Ketchei
and Papke. The light heavyweights
at IT'S would be an empty division for
the next few years unless Ketchel
went that high and found some good
mon IN fight

ANSON MAUNDERs ON
PLAYERS OF THE PAST

Captain Arson In discussing
players. past and present, said
the other day: 1T makes me
smile when I read In the papers
that Ty Cobb. Hans Wagner and
John King never had equals on
the diamond. Let me say that
Cobb never saw the day he
could run bases. hit and field
like Mike Kelley and Bill LANCE.
Wagner Is a star, but he Ia no
better than Ed Williamson,
when the latter played short
stop for my Chicago team. AS
far as King is concerned, I'll
admit that he's a splendid catch
er. but Buck Ewing had him
beaten every way. You can't
tell me that there are any bet
ter players now than 20 years
ago OF that the game is any
faster. The younger generation
jof fans. Of course, never had a
chance to see the old stars, but
they can take II from me that
the great players OF the past
have never been equaled."

Either the college basketball Ave

else the Spaldings Of Detroit have
made some tremendous improvement
the only conclusion capable Of being
drawn by the small crowd from the

rolled up last evening In the Light
Guard armory. at the expense Of the
athletes from the wooden-shoe belt OF
Western Michigan.
Hope was outplayed IN every de-
partment OF the game. was never
ahead after the first two minutes OF
play. and was scoring about one point
for two right along through the con
test.
On q Neutral Floor, Too.
The fact that the game took place
on q perfectly neutral floor OF regu
lation size and without a single OBJ
struction on its surface or about its
outer boundaries gave the Hope bunch
no cause for the excuses II has been

were beaten and made TO like II.
Undoubtedly the Spaldings are q
much improved basketball Ave this
year. Merz Is a tower Of strength
and Gordon has added an element OF
weight which has In the past beer
missing. The Spaldings showed sur
prising team work In the contest
which was their first this year. and
In spite Of the fact that J. vruwink
the Hope center, was batting the bal
to one Of his mates on almost every
toss-up. the Spaldfngs usually man
aged to get II before II had reached
the vicinity OF the Hope basket.
The Spaldings have q peculiar sys

confusion of the Hope band. Pete

times he usually plays down the field
