Farland is considering a 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 with
the Chicago Irishman. Gibbons will
want $4,000 at least.
match between Gibbons and Nc
Farland would be a whale, Gibbons
has set the weight for such a match
at IA pounds at 8 o'clock the after
noon of the clash. This is satisfac-
tory to Mcfarland
Just why Mcfarland asks 100000
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 $6,400. yet
he is willing to battle those 80 rounds
for less money than the 20 with Glib
hons.
WHERE is Johnny Coulon? Friends
" are fearful that the big storms
that have swept the Great Lakes and
Canada may have blown away the
little bantamweight champion. John
has been in the wilds of Canada for
over four months. He has been a
fair press agent for himself, but for
over so days not a word has come
from his camp. Even telegramps to
his recent address fall to bring
response.

~ AN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-That
y boxing is regarded as a staple
sport in Australia is evinced by
the fact that 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. D. 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 In Australia, a digest OF the
work of the conference may not be
out of place.
The new scale Of weights runs as
follows:
Bantam, 11s pounds; feather. 1876:
lightweight. 1856; weiterweight, 147;
middleweight. 100; midheavy, ITS,
heavyweight, any weight, which pre-
sumably means any weight above l75
In all contests in Australia weight
must be made at the ringside, and 1t
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
1t will burn more quickly into the in
telligence Of American ring men when
It is told to them that they must
weigh "one hour before"
Six-Ounce Glove Chosen.
Here is an interesting rule framed
by the conference:
The Australian championships shall
be contests boxed in Australia, and
where 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 champion
ship while resident in the country,
and on his departure the champion
ship shall revert to the previous
holder"

1876 ringside. Frank is surely there when
ii comes to swinging the padded mitts.
Danny Morgan Is having the time OF
his life trying to get some OF the light
weights to meet Jack Britton, the Chi
cago boy. Danny has offered to wager
any of them $4,000 on the side, but
they all make 1t their business to stay
away from the clever Jack
Snowy" Baker. the Australian pro-
moter, denies that Owen Moran received
a raw deal in his bout with Mat Wells
on the other side last month. Baker
says that Wells was clearly entitled to
the decision, although he admits Moran
put up a great battle.
James Coffroth, the San Francisco pro-
moter, is after George Chip to meet
Jimmy Clabby The latter has put up
several good fights out West, and would
prove good attraction against Chip.

Australia Has New Fight Rules
Scale of Weights Are Changed

worded thuswlse at the suggestion
OF the Land Settlement League of
Australia, but anyhow ii 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 fiYe-oun glove of pugilistiC
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 a contest. BY offending against
these rules they viii cause disquali-
fication of their principal by the
referee"
Contestants are warned against hit
ting In cllnches, and a clinch is de-
fined as a condition which exists
when both men are holding with
one or both hands"
Knockout ls Defined.
Infghting is tabooed, and 1t Is left
to the referee to determine what con-
stitutes infighting. Such being the
case, II VIII ne as wei IoT 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. (b) when con
testant's towel Is thrown in while he
is taking the count, (c) should a CON
test be stopped by the referee or any
official owing to a contestant not be
ing in a 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 II was decided
that the referees place Is where the
blows are flying thickest. and that II
is wrong to have him propped up on a
bench like a British justice Of the
peace.
II would be as we'll for American
pugilists afflicted with the wanderlust

TERMS:
THE ROW IN FREMONT COUNTY

Trouble has reared it's hCrrid head in
Fremont county against the new road
law and the highway commission.
Those who are conducting the trouble
charge undue interference by the
highway commission with bridge af-
fairs, interference with bridge plans
by "upstarts sent out from Ames col
iege" and unjustifled demands as re-
CARDS bridge foundations, etc.
The highway commission comes back
at the trouble makers by admitting
freely that it has interfered in the
bridge affairs of Fremont. 1t goes on
to explain why and the explanation
seems to be good enough TO hold" the
trouble makers for a while" 1t goes
on to state that three of the six large
steel bridges lately erected in Fremont
were illegally bought; that a blanket
contract between the county and a
bridge company provided Illegal width
who signed the contract was most
prominent as lobbyist against the
change in the bridge lad and in favor
of the blanket contract. 1t goes on to
explain that the commission preferred
to deal with direct with the Standard
Bridge Company as it is we'll known
der the new arrangement a pound
price basis is used and that only the
actual pounds of steel used are paid
sor G: reasonable price. Incidentally
1t explains that the "upstart" referred
to is an engineer who has received his
training in the universities Of Ohio and
Michigan, has had ten s.ears' expert
ence in railroad work and has held an
engineers position under one of the
big trunk line railways.
The trouble in Fremont is educative.
The people Of the state should observe
it well. If the highway commission
does nothing else but "interfere'' with
blanket contracts and illegal purchases
of bridges it will have served a most
excellent purpose. We have had op-
portunity to observe in Clinton county
and other parts of Iowa the necessity
of some such commission and the
salutary effect Of interference" and
publicity.
Nothing so far adduced by those who
are raising the row in Fremont is like
ly to queer" the commission. Very
much TO the contrary.
