AN FRANCISCO, CALF, Jan A
The New York Boxing commits
~ sion's revised schedule of weights
is causing lots of argument and that
in itself is a hopeful sign. Now, if
England or France or Australia viii
refrain from submitting a somewhat
different classification the boxing cen
tiers of the world may be able to adopt
a common schedule, something they
have never been able to do up to the
present
The trouble with these things IS
that whenever anyone submits a new
list some one else is ready with one
that It is claimed is ever so much bet
ter and, after a little desultOry dis
cUssion the older order OF things goes
Fighters offer Objections.
As a matter of fact the New York
schedule is nothing new. The weight
limits mentioned have been suggested
over and over again during the past
dozen years but never adopted for
the reason that there was no commits
sion anywhere to take the matter up.
Now that duly constituted body If
control of boxing has taken the mi
UIatlVe IN the matter there is good
prospect Of universal adoption.
OF course, there viii be objections
to the extension of the boundary line
IN some OF the classes and needless
to say these will come from champions
who wish, for personal reasons, to con-
<inue along old lines.
Already one promoter has SAID.
What is the use of a standard OF
weights if a worlds champion insists
upon all his opponents coming to
notch that is a couple of pounds be-
low the official scale?'
Well if worlds champion becomes
hOity-tOity. in the direction named it
will be hard to discipline him at least
until the new schedule has world
wide adoption and support But so
far as this country is concerned there
is no way in which the New York
Athletic commission can exert its au-
thority
Prize Belts For Champs.
Taking as the basis Of argument that
the New York commission is the only
committee in this country bearing any
Semblance to a parent body and that
there is an inclination in other cities
to look up to it as such why couldn't
the commission set aside q certain sum
from the state revenue derived from
boxing, which is said to be consid-
cradle, for the purchase of belts or

the ring authorities of foreign coun-
tries for approval
The most radical changes in weights
in the New York scale are made In the
smaller divisions. 1t is more difficult
task for the average bantam weight
TO cOncede one pound than lot
heavyweight to give away ten times
as much. Yet the local body mad
widened the breach between two or
the smallest classes by increasing the
limit in the featherWeight class to 10
and reducing the bantam limit to 10
From this it is evident that the com
miSsiOners have a great deal to learn
about classifying boxers according to
weight.
