FIGHTERS SHOULD STAY IN
CLASS WHERE THEY BELONG

There are many fighters about the
country who have been boxing in
classes to which they have no right,
and It is about time that the boxing
authorities found some way of MAX
ing these fellows box where they be-
long. There is no reason on earth
why a boxer claiming or holding a
championship should demand of an
other boxer that he scale at the
weight limit while he Cthe cham
pion) comes in at catch weights. The
order would sound better If reversed
1t is unfair to the boxer who is try
ing to get ahead and also to the pa
irons of the game who pay to sup
port 1t.
A boxer who is not q champion Is
always supposed to have the worst
Of the bargain when he goes against
the champion, and by trying to ham
dicap him still more does not help
the game. Just because some un-
reasonable managers got away with
such unfair tactics in the past is no
reason why they should be continued
One thing in favor of the old-time
fighter is that he never whimpered
over few pounds in weight. If a
boxer finds that he has outgrown his
class let him advance into the next
one and not try TO get handicaps OIL,
Of those much lighter than himself

BRESNAHAN, BORN IN DUBLIN. IS
OFTEN TAKEN FOR GERMAN BUT

Roger Bresnahan, the new manager
Of the Chicago Nationals, has been
playing professional baseball for sew
enteen years, and Judging by the way
he played last season, Mr.. Bresna-
han is good for many seasons to come.
1t would be shame to allow man
agerial duties to take this splendid
player from active playing service.
The fans would miss the picturesque
Roger about as much as any player

cause they want all the best Of the

wonder why they are roasted by

IT the American boxing authorities
were to adopt the Australian or Eu-
ropean scale of weights there would
be less of this wrangling over
weights, for 1t Is plain that there Is
more leeway to their weights than
those in vogue in this country. They
appear to be better balanced. The
fiyweight of 112 pounds and under is
not even recognized here, and there
are many good boys around that
mark. The bantam limit of 11s
pounds gives the boys in that division
more leeway and at the same time
does not force the little fellows into
