mission, it is believed, would be ad-
vantageous to both boxers and the pa
trcns of boxing. The old scale of feath-
CT weights light weights and theIike
has been IN vogue for years. When it
was arranged, however, there we're
fewer boxers.
To Create Uniformity.
The increase in the popularity of
the sport has brought forth hundreds
Of participants, and it is Thought that
change should be made SO as to
create a uniformity of weights and
classes which will give boxer an op-
portunity to win additional honors as
ne grows older and heavier.
The propositions is. to grade the
classes by. poundage instead of title
hy drawing finer limit to the weights
and by creating more classes. For
instance, tie lightest weight to be rec.
ogniZed by the commission would be
los pounds. From this low weight
The rules would read SO as to make
the next class 120 pounds and from
that point. to arrange by an increase
of ten pounds in every class up to $50
pounds, which would make divisions
OF 1870, 140 and $50 pound classes and
eliminate the existing condition. of
feather weights, light weights and 80
on. The titles, would then read. The
12O-pound champion and the f3O-pound
champion and so on up the line.
Misnomers at Present.
BY this means there would be hon
ors to earn that today are misnomerS
in many cases. For instance Mike"
Gibbons is trailing along in the sup
posed welter-weight divi. ions. when,
according to rules he is well into the
middle-weight class, and has beeI 10"
some time.
Under tie proposed rules he would
hC champion, of the 130-pound class,
anG when he could not scale that
weight entering the ring he would
have to look to the middle-Weight
division. or. say. for example, the 165-
pound division, for opponents, for that
is the weight that has Eeen proposed
for'the middle-weight division.
In dealing with, the weights abOvt
61 pounds, it is suggested to make
class from 16J pounds up to 193
pounds, or a semiheavy-Weight divi-
sion. From that point there would be
nc limit. as @ man weighing more
than l95 pounds would be entitled to
step into the ring at catch weight.
Gives New Names.
The idea is to grade tie boxers into
classes similar to the system now en-
pfcyed in the rules governing trotting
races and arrange more champion
ships. The present scale of weights
under old rules is too wide. Mar
gould be given the different wei0htS,
such as midget" 'bantam" 'fea'1 1er
light weightI twelter. middle" and
so on if believed necessary. That is
OF little Importance but the better
class ifiCation of the boxers is import
ant.
BY this means closer matches could
be made and greater distinction and
mere honors earned by boxers w'frout
their being trained to almost impo5-
eible weights. which has many times
been detrimental to the health OF at1-
lptes
1t would also do away with the sub
tC1fuge managers employ of mate lg
Zen to weigh in several hours before
