The New York boxing law must
stand or fall on its own merits. Pro-
motors and others interested have
decided not to raise a fund to fight
Gov Whitman's announced intention
of repeating the present law.
The New York law became Unpop-
ular on account of a number of con-.
ditiOns, including poor matches and
mediocre promoting, eliminating in
bride charges filed against Chairman
Wenck of the boxing commission by
Harry Pollok, a promoter and man
ager of Fred Welsh.
Following this scandal a boy was
killed in a bout in Albany and Gov.
Whitman declared he would make a
fight to have the law repealed.
The boxing game in America would
be greatly improved if some effort
was made to regulate the scale of
weights of fighters.
Whether the lightweight limit
should be 1873 or 1876, whether the
middleweight limit should be 1853 or
$50, and the bantam limit 116 or 118,
and whether these weights should be
Tingside or a determined number of
hours before the match is staged
should be decided definitely.
It have become popular for fight

pounds ringside, the weight at which
he won his title from Ad WOlgast.
AL Mccoy, who claims the middle
weight championship, has declared
the limit to be $50 pounds several
hours before the bout, although the
recognized limit of the last real mid
dleweight champion, Stanley Ket-
Chell, was 1853 pounds ringside.
Dempsey, Papke, Fitzsimmons and
the rest of the great middleweights
all fought at 1853 pounds.
Kid Williams wanted to fix the
bantam title at 118 pounds, although
he defeated COulon at 116, and Geo.
Dixon, Terry McGOveTn and the
rest of the bantam champs always
recognized that weight.
The situation in bantam circles is
peculiar. Pete Herman, who claims
the title by virtue, of a decision over
Williams, is willing to let the weight
go at 118 pounds. Johnny Ertle,
whose claims to the title rest on a
victory over Williams on a foul, fixed
the weight at 116 pounds.
Fighters should not be permitted
to name their own weights. A defin-
tie standard should be set which the
fighters should be compelled to
abide by.
1t doesn't make a whole lot of diff
ference what the weight is, but it
should be fixed and Interchangeable.

NERVOUS WRECK
NOW LIVE WIRE
Makes Everybody Sit Up
and Take Notice.

One of our big league ball players
had been going back for some time,
no matter how hard he tried he could
not get his old time Pep and Ginger
into the game. it was up hill work all
the time. He was one Of those honest
hard working fellows and it finally
go& his goat his nerves went bad,
he commenced to run down, could not
eat or sleep and kept steadily slip
ping. Doctors and medicines were
OF no help.
One of his many admirers said to
him, why not try Phosphated Iron,
everybody is boosting it,
Grasping at the last straw, the poor
fellow took try at it. The way he
came back was an "eye opener" he
was there in every department of the
game, his nerves were like Iron, he
could hit the ball and was no time
getting back to the three hundred
mark, while his base running and
fielding were great.
Discussing the matter with our
reporter he said, Would you believe
1t, could feel the Iron charging my
blood with health and strength, while
the way the Phosphates steadied and
renewed my nerve force was almost
too good to believe. Phosphated Iron
took hold Of me right from the start
and sure did make a new man of me
and you can bet carry a good sup
ply on all my trips"
Doctors will tell you that you must
have plenty of Iron and Phosphates
in your system If you want pure red
blood and steady nerves OF Iron
Every one who is run down, nervous
tired and has that "all in" feeling
should try Phosphated Iron and you
will never be without 1t again.

COMPARISON OF.
FUEL VALUES OF
COAL AND WOOD.
Experts of Forest Service
Make Comparisons for
Users Of Wood

,plan to relieve the coal shortage this
winter by burning wood can figure,
roughly speaking. that two pounds of
seas ned wood have fuel value equal
to one pound Of coal according to the
Forest Service. While different kinds
OF wood have different fuel values,
the foresters say that in general the
greater the dry weight Of mons
resinous wood, the more heat 1t will
give out when burned.
For such species as hickory. oak,
beech. birch, hard maple. ash. locust.
longleaf pine or cherry. which have
comparatively high fuel values, one
cord. weighing about 1000 pounds Is
required to equal one ton OF coal.
II takes a cord and half OF short
Leaf pine. hemlock, red gum, Douglas
mr.. sycamore. or soft maple. which
weighs about 1000 pounds cord, to
equal ton Of coal. while for cedar,
redwood, poplar, catalpa, Norway
pine cypress Eastwood, spruce, and
white pine, two cords, weighing about
2,000 pounds each. are required.
Weight for weight, however, there
is very little difference between var
ious species. Resin affords about
twice az much heat as wood, SO that
\ resinous woods have a greater heat
value. per pound than non-resinous
woods. and this increased value var
