Plenty OF Argument Over
Change In Ring Weights
(By W. w. Naughton.)


San Francisco. Jan. 6.-The New
York boxing commissions revised
schedule of weights is causing lots OF
FIJI sign. Now. If England or France
or Australia will refrain from sub
mittinG g somewhat different classi-
tiration, the boxing centers of the
world ma be able TO adopt a common
schedule. something they have v
been able to do up to the present.
The trouble with these things is
weight list, some n else is ready
""sth that 1t is claimed is ever so
much better. and after a little de-
sultery discussion the older order Of
things soeth right along.
AS Il matter of fact. the New York
schedule Is nothing new. The weight
limits mentioned have been suggested
dozen years. but adopted for the
reason that there was no commission
anywhere to take the matter up. Now
that a duly constituted body in control
of boxing has taken the initiative in
the matter. there is good prospect Of
universal adoption.
OF course there will be objections
to the extension Of the boundary line
in ON Of the classes. and needless to
say these will come from champions
who wish. for personal reasons. to
continue 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 oppon-
ents coming to a notch that is a cou-
pie of pounds below the official scale?"
Well. II a worlds champion be-
m hoity-toity. in the direction
named, 1t will be hard to discipline
him at least until the new schedule
has worldwide adoption and support.
But. SO far as this country is concern
ed. there is no way In which the New
York athletic commission can exert its
authority.
Taking as the basis Of argument
that the New York commission Is the
only committee in this country bear
ing any semblance to q parent body.
and that there is I'm inclination in 9TH
err cities to look up to 1t as such. why
couldn't the commission set aside a
certain sum from the state revenue
derived from boxing. which is said to
he considerable. for the purchase Of
belts or medals or other insignia in
dicative of championship excellence.
These trophies need not he expensive.

he priced once the commission let 1t
be known that no championship would

These championship belts or badges,
or whatever they were, would have to
be won in contests in which the new
weights ere abided by. and they
would, for obvious reasons. be simply
emblematic Of the boxing champion

to be supposed that New York would

boxers among all nations.
1t may be that New York would be
in a better position to inaugurate a

would amend its boxing law SO as to
