n FEW YORK, February 3-One of
" the greatest needs i'm Ameri-
can sportdom to- day Is the Gre
alton of a National Boxing Commits
sion, with fun supervision over every
fighter and every fight club In the
country; commission empowered to
FIX the weights for the different di-
visions. and one that would compel
champions to meet men of their own
class at regular intervals in defense
OF their titles.
The American sporting public Is
Disguised with the tactics pursued by
the champions in the past few years
Disguised because instead of meeting
men who can give them real bat
tie In long bout, they take on fight
ors of the second and third class. or
when finally forced into "A match with
top notcher they endeaVor to have
the fight staged in some state where
no-declsion bouts are the rule.
THE difference between the cham
pions of to-day and those Of
twenty years ago is as great as the
difference between New Zealand and
Siberia. In The old days when a man
punched his way into the champion
ship he stood ready to meet any man
that wanted to battle with him and
ready almost at moments notice.
But nowadays. when pugliisTio
person reaches the crest he suddenly
decides that he is worn out, tagged
and very. very tired Immediately
after the fight he decides to rest
up"-a process that usually involves
a month or two Then he grabs on
a vaudeville engagement. or two or
three engagements II that many are
offered him.
A FTER he has ceased to be an at
traction on the stage and the
clamor on the part of the public for
him to fight becomes so strong that
IL threatens 10 fracture his ear drum
he looks around for a lemon makes
match with him. and as can be eX-
pected, simply makes n punching bag
out of the poor boob.
In time. to silence the renewed calls
for him 10 fight a real fighter, the
champion takes on man who stands
near the top in his class. but aims to
have the bout staged In States like
New York.. Pennsylvania, Ohio. and
others where decisions are not per-
mitted The champion also names
the weight at which he will fight.

names is the weight that suits him

DPTOPHONE
Is Said to Enable Blind Persons
to See and Read with
Their Ears.
esY lssee,A--p rsrss,

LONDON, July s.-Seeing with the
ears is the latest triumph OF science
in the invention of the "optophone, .
which has been demonstrated before
the Royal Society by Or. Fourier
d'Albe, an Englishman OF Huguenot
descent. DR.. d,Albe says that a blind
man should be able to read ordinary
books and newspapers by sound, on
the principle of translating light
waves to sound waves While the
doctors instrument which effects the
translation. is not yet developed to its
potential capacity, It enabled q blind
man In Birmingham not long ago to
count the number. of nurses before
him, and investigators of the Royal
Society have even made out lines OF
print.
The device consists OF perforated
disk which rotates in front Of a pow
erful Nerust lamp. The type to be
read is placed facing the light upon
a rest. A small, intensely bright line
of light, passing through the holes
in the disk, travels from one letter to
the next, and the type reflects the
light on to seleninm bridge. Each
letter gives characteristic sound,
which is heard by means OF a tele-
phone. The reader must know the
sound of each letter to be able to
follow the print.

TAX||}AB
School in London Says Best
Pupils Are Those Who Come
from Other Places.

LONDON, July ia report from
the knowledge of London School,
where taxi-cab drivers are trained.
shows that the best pupils are those
who come from other places. The
born Londoner is so used to moving
by instinct in his own quarter, and SO
little interested in remem bering the
various points by name that he is
easily outclassed by the man new to
the city.
The school gives training indoors
with maps, and bus excursions to diff
ferent centers Of interest. London
has $4,000 streets for the students to
learn. Examinations are conducted
by Scotland Yard, and are so difficult
that not more than half of those TAX
ing the course succeed in passing.
Women applicants are denied IL
censes in London on the ground they
would be unable to handle disorderly
patrons.

 Inspector

Montgomery, October 13.-( Special Attorney General Robert c. Brickel today advised the governor that he has no authority to rescind the order oi pr. William H. Oates. state prison in- spector, removing the Dallas county prisoners from the jail at Selma to the Montgomery county jail.
 pr. Oates several days ago ordered H. P Randall. sheriff of Dallas county to close the county jail and remove the prisoners to Montgomery on the ground that the inmates of the Dallas prison were not properly fed.
 Sheriff Randall at once appealed to the governor to rescind Dr. Oates or der with the result that the chief exec utive asked the attorney general for a ruling as to his authority in the mat CT. The governor today replied to Sheriff Randalrs petition that he had no jurisdiction in the matter.
 pr. oates has not yet enforced the order of removal, having given Sher- fir Randall a short time in which to provide proper food for the Dallas county prisoners and to make other changes at the jail. which he ordered. If his instructions are not carried out immediately Dr. Oates states that he will at once remove the prisoners to Montgomery.
