NEW YORK BOXING COMMISSION
 MAKE NEW SCALE OF WEIGHTS

i class except that of welterweight has been made in bhelf of a syndicate by Charles Mahoney, formerly identified with the Hoffman House. The big purse would be cut up for the various classes in this manner.
 Bantamweight $50O0. featherweight s15,- O0O, lightweight $20,o00, middleweight s1o,- GOO and heavyweight s50,0o0.
 Mahoney stipulates that the champions of these classes-Coulon, Kilbane, Vol gast, Gibbons and Jomnson-must fight for the money with opponents to be named by committee of sporting editors. If it can be determined who are the best men in the welterweight class, Mahoney agrees to hang up another purse of 5000 He says the fight must be held the com ing winter during the tournament lasting five days.
 The only places where finish fights can be held in this country are in New Mexico and at Jaurez, just across the Mexican border from El Paso The task of selecting opponents for the different champions is not exactly easy Johnny Coulons bantam title Is sought by sev- eral- good boys, including Johnny Daily. Kid Williams of Baltimore and Charles Ledoux of France. NThe most formidable rivals of Johnny Kilbane, the American featherweight champion. arc Abe Attell. the former champion; Jem Driscoll or England, Young Shugrue of Jersey City, 1 Charley White of Chicago and Johnny | Dundee.
 | At 1S3 pounds rlngside Ad Wogast. the | light weight champion, apparently must settle the controversy arising from his recent battle with Joe Rivers before meet ] ing anybody else. If Wolgast can be made to concede weight, then Packey Me- ! Farland must be considered unless the Chicago boxer should decide to become a I weterweight. Other aspirants for the ! lightweight title who are not out of the running are Willie Rithchie and Young Jack O'Brien.
 Gibbons has never fought as full fledged middleweight, but hs will soon. He must defeat Jack Klaus. at present recog- nized as the champion: Jack Dillon, Ed die McCoorty and Buck Grouse before he
 can justly lay claim to the title.
 Jacl- Johnson's heavyweght crown is a prize which Sam Langford, Joe Jeannette
 Sam McVoy, Al Pazer ana Luther Me Carty would like to win, but Johnson, il
 appears, will insist upon naming his next opponent. no matter how much money
 hangs in the balance.

Misunderstood the Word
Maj zine.

From the Strand Magazine.
 A member of the London county council was regretting the lack of art sense displayed by his fellows when they placed an open space at the dis posal of the people. He pleaded elo- quently for fountains, goldfish in orna- mental basins, lions and unicorns in stucco and emerald green garden seats.
 Why" said he, in splendid perora- ton, we want something homely and country -like--a little arbor here and there. If a foreigner came to this country and ked 10 see one. we've never an arbor worth showing to show him.
 Then up and spake another member who, prior to attaining the height of his civic ambitions. had been petty officer In the navy.
 "Oh. we 'aven't. 'aven't we? And wol about Portsmouth 'Arbor?'

 Milan Helps Wonderfully
 Milan has given Ty Cobb black eye such as the Georgian peach has never before suffered in fast company. Grif- fith's center section of the cuser defense this year makes Ty Cobb look like truck horse on the bags in comparison. Never in his palmiest days did Cobb ever dis play the base running class that Milan has spilled and this in spite of the fact that Cobb is slugging at a far more steady clip than his little rival It is true that Mllans batting, which exceeds the classic 3e0 notch, entities him to 1, place In the Armament of great outfielders, but 1t is his wonderful base running that com manls chief respect Between Clyde and "Shoeless Joe" Jackson of the Maps, the modern Goliath has been shorn of his locks. Milan boasts the golden speed ring lets; Jackson the swatting curls. For the past several seasons Milan has been ,gpod4-far above tue average value of 'outfielder He did not shine this year simply because he met with nothing | like the same encouragement. Here's the difference--the difference btween a hope less taiender and real p-nnant poss- blity. That same difference lifted ten years from the stopped shoulders of Grif-

At the bottom on the left is Isabelle D'Armond, playing at Hammerstein's Roof. On the right is Josie Heather, who is entertaining at the New Brighton theatre.
 New York, July 27.-(Special) )-After many halts by the theatrical wayside, os- tensibly to perfect but in reality to try the public pulse, the much heralded open-' ing of the Winter Garden has at last taken place. Its premiere was not only greeted with an enthusiasm worthy of an elaborate production, but aroused New York's theatrical world from its lethargy
 This latter condition was d much to be hoped for occurrence. Save for the oc- casional opening of a beach vaudeville house or the premiere of some shop-Worn star refurnished by an eXpectant manager and forced upon the public by an un- scrupulous press agent, there was little heretofore, in the world of drama to merit even the casual attention of passerby.
 All this was changed. however, when the long list of stars, ladies of the chorus and the spear carriers made their initial appearance on the winter garden pro- gramme this week. In fact, after couple of days the success of the winter garden skits had notceably tonic effect upon that eminent coterie which holds the drama in the hollow of it's hond. Confer ences were held, the probable profits of the winter garden carefully computed and the gem of emulation set afoot.
 Short as it is, therefore, .he remainder of the season will probably be graced by more activity than was evident at it's beginning.
 The entertainment at the winter garden opens with ''The Ballet of 1S30, This Is terpsichorean festival whose splendor of production and artistic merit has made It famous on the other side of the water.

JOhnStOWn and Lancaster
Owners Talk of Selling
Out
JOHNS TRANSFER THREE
GAMES TO WILMINGTON

Rumor is current that the Lancas-
ter Tri-State team will within the next
few days be transferred to Atlantic
City, though remaining in the Tri-
State League, of course
II was even stated that grounds
were being negotiated. The president
Of the club, John II. Myers, yesterday
denied that there was any truth in the
rumor, but from his conversation and
that of a director. It is evident that
there is something in the wind It
would occasion no surprise in Lancas-
ter if the team is transferred to an
other city, because it is evident the
owners cannot afford to keep it going,
as the small attendance at the games
will not warrant it. Some definite an
nouncement from the owners may be
looked for within the next few days.
By reason of the transfer of the Al
toona team TO Reading it Is possible
that Johnstown has seen her last
game OF Tri-State baseball, as the
games scheduled for today Saturday
Evening journal., 1912-06-14

and Monday have been transferred TO
Wilmington, and the games of next
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday
to Trenton. Johnstown will play
double header here tomorrow after
noon. Tho Chick owners pay $500 for
the three games.
With these transfers the club is not
due in oJhnstown until July 4 and it is
quite certain by that time that ar
rangements will be completed TO
transfer the oJhhstown Club to some
city in Eastern ePnnsylyania or New
Jersey. Camden, Paterson and At
lantic City have been mentioned as
the places of a possible transfer.
President Carpenter has called a
special meeting to be held at Harris
burg on Monday, for the purpose Of
readusting the Leagues schedule,
made necessary by the transfer of the
Altoona Club to Reading.
