BOXING RULES
TO Be REVISED
Standard Weights May Be
Settled Upon-U. s. Has
Most Champions,

NEW. YORK, Nov. e-pr. Joseph n
Rayeroft, chairman Of the committee %
rules and weights OF the Interna tionat
sporting club, has called a meeting ok
the members for Friday afternoon IA
devise a new and equitable set Of reg
ulations for the government Of the snort
in America and to fix a scale OF weighta
TO be enforced in future contests Ia thla
country.
As violations of nearly all existent
rules OF boxing characterize a majority
OF bouts and as the So-called scale o.
weights is chiefly honored IN the breach
1t readily can be seen that the commit =
tee has an important task on hand and
that IFS action is apt to have a powerful
influence for good on the future of box
ing in America.
Tt is not unlikely that tho dehbera
tons Of this committee may result I'M
the establishment OF uniform boxing
rules and weights in all countries where
| tile sport flourishes, as 1t Is conceded
by all interested In the pastime that
uniformity would have very bens-
| fetal effect.
! The French Federation OF Boxing re-
| Gently announced that an international
conference to arrange uniform laws for
| the sport would be held in Paris Dec.
| s., and Major Bddle, president OF tile
| Intentional Sporting club, received an
| invitation TO attend Major Blddle said
| he would be unable to accept, and de-
| clared the better plan would be for
| European boxing officials to come here
| and attend a conference on the opening
OF the International Sporting club next
! February.
o. S. Has the Champions.
Biddle's attitudes based on the fact
that America boasts five OF the six
worlds champions, titles being held by
Herman, bantam; Leonard, lightweight;
I Britton Weiter: O'DOWd IuiddIeWeight
and Dempsey, heavyweight
Wilde holds the flyweight champion
ship Of the world and the worlds title
in the featherweight and light heavy
weight classes are in allegiance.
In view OF these important facts the
opinion is held that England and France
should come to America to talk about
international rules.
In the meantime the rules committee
of the International Sporting club Will
proceed to clarity and amend the pres
ent incomplete and confusing regula-
tons and TO fix a scale Of weights that
can be enforced.
There is excellent reason for the be-
lief that the code when complete will
meet with the approval of foreign box
ing organizations and BIO adopted by
them.
In addition to DR.. Raycroft as chair
man, the committee includes in its
membership Walter Camp, Major Bid
die, Warren Barbour, George Dwyer,
Charles Thorley, William A. Brady and
