Australia Has New Fight Rules
Scale of Weights Are Changed

worded thuswise at the suggestion
Of the Land Settlement League of
Australia, but anyhow it is explicit.
You can't bring Australian champion
ships away as souvenirs.
In many other respects the new
rules follow the lines of the old
Queensberry regulations, the latter
being extended and amplified. to suit
Australian requirements.
The five-ounc glove of pugiistc
commerce is discarded for the six
ounce mitten, and the number of sec
onds in a mans corner is limited to
four These henchmen are forbidden
to coach, assist in any manner, ad-
wise their principal during the rounds
or enter the ring during the progress
of contest BY offending against
these rules they win cause disquali-
fication of their principal by the
referee"
Contestants are warned against hit
ting in clinches, and a clinch is de-
fined as condition which, exists
when both men are holding with
one or. both hands"
Knockout Is Defined.
Inhghtlng Is tabooed, and 1t is left
to the referee to determine what con-
stitutes infighting. Such being the
case, II Will be as We'll Tor boxers
about to engage in a match to inter-
view the referee before tearing loose
Here is how a knockout is defined:
"A knockout shall be counted (a)
when a contestant is knocked down
and is not on his feet ready to resume
boxing in ten seconds from the time
he is knocked down, CD when a con-
testants towel is thrown in while he
is taking the count, Co should a con-
test be stopped by the referee or any
official owing to a contestant not be
ing in fit condition to continue as a
result of punishment he has received"
There was quite an argument as to
whether the referee should hold court
in the ring or outside of 1t. Finally,
by a small majority, 1t was decided
that the referees place is where the
blows are flying thickest. and that it
is wrong to have him propped up on q
bench like a British Justice of the
peace.
1t would be as well for American
pugilists afflicted with the wanderlust
to study these rules, for the excuse
81 didn't know" does not hold in Aus
tralia.

Stovan. newly appointed manager of the
Kansas City Federal League club, ar
rived here yesterday to offer a contract
to Rarbeau, third haseman Of the Kan
sas City American Association, who lives

Stovall announced that every club in
the league would have five OF six lesser

fore the opening OF the 1914 race.
I'VE don't intend to so after players
who are still under contract" said
Stovall, but we are going after men
who are retained only under the reserve
clause, which means that a player can
not sign with any other CIuo except the
one with whom his contract has just
expired. unless sold or released to an
other team,
I'VE are after men in the big leagues
who draw about $4,000 We intend to

q AN FRANCISCO, Nov 15.-That
boxing is regarded as a staple
sport in Australia is evinced by
the fact that a conference of sport
ing authorities was held in the city
Of Sydney for the purpose of framing
rules beneficial to the game.
A certain degree of eClat was lent
to the occasion by the presence of
II. u. Morton, speaker of the legisla-
tive assembly, who opened the pro-
Ceedings and then vacated the chair
in favor of II. Y. Braddon.
Everything pertaining to glove
fighting was thrashed out thoroughly,
and many of the evils of the pastime,
as Australians saw them, were rec
titled when the conference got down
to framing rules. AS many of the
new regulations will be of interest to
American pugilists who intend trying
their luck I'm Australia, a digest ofthe
work of the >conference may not be
out of place.
The new scale of weights runs as
follows:
Bantam, 11S pounds; feather, 1876;
lightweight, 1876; welterweight, 147;
middleweight. 1907 midheavy, IT'S;
heavyweight, any weight, which pre-
sumably means any weight above l75.
In all contests in Australia weight
must be made at the ringside. and it
is explained that this means within
one hour of the advertised beginning
of the contest
This is an entirely new construction
of ringside weighing, by the way, and
ii will burn more quickly into the in
telligence of American ring men when
il is told to them that they must
weigh "one hour before"
SiN-Ounce Glove Chosen.
Here is an interesting rule framed
by the conference:
The Australian championships shall
be contests boxed in Australia, and
where a boxer from another country
having a twelve months residential
qualification defeats an Australian in
an Australian championship he shall
only be the holder Of the champions
ship while resident in the country,
and on his departure the champion
ship shall revert to the previous
HOLDER

Vandegraaf Boots
Alabama to Victory
Over Tennessee, 60

TUSCALOOSA, ALA. Nov. 14.-The
unerring Workmanship Of Bully Van
degraafr's toe sopled with the fierce
playing of the Alabama team defeated
the University of Tennessee yesterday
in one of the most gruelliug football
games ever seen on the university
campus, to 0, Twice out of three trials
from the 50yard line, Nandeaaff sent
the pigsktn whirling between the goal
posts.
The game was a thriller from the
time that In first whistle blew at 3
o'clock until the final call fifteen minutes
after It became too dark for the spec
taturs to distinguish between the bright
gold of the Tenuess~eans Jerseys and
the crimson OF Alabama. The Tennes-
see line from tackle to tackle out
weighed the Crimson t orwardS about
10 pounds to the man, while the rest
of the two teams were about evenly
balanced But the difference in weight
did not tell i'm the playing 1t was Ma
ham8 s game from start to finish.
Only once during the contest Did the
Volunteers get 10 AlabamaS l5-yard
line, while the Crimson struck at the
Tennessee goal time after time, but
lacked the drive TO put the bah over.
once the bah was on TennesSee's 1-foot
line, but a tumble saved a touchdown.
Costly fumbles and numerous heavy
penalties kept Alabama from making a
larger score

I Farland is considering trip
California to do battle there
with Mike Gibbons, the st, Paul SEN
sation. If any coast promoter can
show Mcfarland a $1,000 guarantee
he p robably can do business win
the Chicago Irishman. Gibbons will
want $4,000 at least.
A match between Gibbons and Me-
Farland would be a whale. Gibbons
has set the weight for such a match
at 144 pounds at o'clock the after
noon of the clash. This is satiStac-
tory to Mcfarland.
Just why Mcfarland asks $4,000
for his end he will not say. He has
closed for five bouts between now
and Christmas, all ten-round affairs
and thees bring him only $4,000 YET
he is willing to battle those 80 rounds
for less money than the 20 with GID

Is faces her sternest task to-day
and by the same token Auburn
faces her most golden opportunity,
when the Orange and Blue Of the
Alabama Polys clashes with the Gold

Vanderbilt.
Time after time has Auburn stood
on the threshold Of a Southern foot
ball championship, Time after time
has Auburn raped for admission, and
time after time has the mighty bulk
of Vanderbilt lOomed in the doorway
and turned the Orange and Blue back
as effectively as ever bellicose bull
dog routed a hobo, hungry and for
lorn.

way before the sterner attack of the
Roman legionary formation.

Vanderbilt has been beaten twice
