DIVIDE BOXERS
SAYS CHICAGOAN
Lewis Wants Boxers Put
Into Separate Divisions;
No One,sided Fights.

Chicago. March eS.-Nate Lewis has
started lot of talk in fistic circles
here by proposing that the heavy
weight division De- divided mp and only
men Of Approximately equal weight be
matched
He argues the present condition re-
suits in one sided contests. OF course.
these battles between heavies with go
to 80 pounds difference M weight are
also usually uninterestin@
Lewis is the manager of Carl Morris
and he cites match between his
protege and Joe Bonds az one of the
undesirable meetings against which he
is campaigning
All big men are not heavy weights
said Lewis today The enforcement
OF such q rule a. e.. matches only be-
tween men of about the same weight
in classes below the heavy weight di-
vision is simple enough. The lines OF
demarcation are plainly defined. Above
the light heavy weight corps there is
no such class distinction. Men weigh
ing above 115 pounds are all considered
little pals together. one weighing $50
pounds is classed with another out
weighing him 30 pounds or more
This should not he When there
is such a disparity in size matches
should be prohibited unless the smaller
man is Of known excellence For in

majority Of boxers outWri.hiug him -
ceptiOn. Levinslzy is a wonderfully
clever boxer. The average $50 pound
man does not possess the skill to offset
a great physical handicap.

TELLS HOW 70 GET
PERMITS TO LEAVE
WAR DEPARTMENT SENDS IN
STRICTIONS FOR THOSE WHO
REGISTERED.

All Young men of Thurston county
who registered under the selective
service act must obtain permission
direct from the war department If
they want to leave the United States,
according to instructions received
from the war department this week
by Clay Allen. United States attorney
in this district. and transmitted by
him to the local exemption boards.
These instructions clear up the am
biguity which developed following
the publication of the war depart
ment statement saying such permits
would be necessary, but neglecting to
say how they were to be obtained.
According to them. the person seek
ing permission must send to the war
department his registration card and
a statement of reasons why he wants
a permit and where he proposes to go.
The war department will return the
registration card after considering
the application, and the permit, II
granted. This process, 1t is estimat-
ed, will take about 10 days.
Posters containing the names Of
ell the young men who registered
June we're posted this week in most
Of the precincts of the county, and
residents of those sections are asked
to look over the list carefully and re-
port to the sheriff any young men
whom they believe eligible but whose
names do not appear. This informa-
ton will be held strictly confidential.
Several reports Of this character
have been received by sheriff Jack
Clifford, five from Tumwater, two
from Tenino and two or three from
Olympia, but investigation has de-
veloped that in all but one instance
the men reported we're not of the
eligible age or else had registration
cards The one was permitted to req
lister.
