HOW bOxINe IS
CHANGED UNDER
new YORK CODE


managers from all over the country
trying to get the first big New
York match under tho new law,
wise Nate Lewis Of this town step
ped right In and landed It for 3
recent addition to his stable. Joe
yelling. formerly . Chicago boy,
has Joined out with Lewis and will
have the, honor Of boxing with
Johnny Dundee in the initial wind
mp.
Lewis got busy with Tex Richard
who has Madison Square Garden,
with Leo p. Flynn for matchmaker
and Ike Dorgan for publicity man.
Nate made Tex see the value Of
this match a. an opener and VEL
ling to go fifteen rounds with Dun
dee to decision. Bill Brown Is
the official referee Of tho club. The
winner Of the yelling Dundee mix
up is to get Benny Leonard later on
before the Rickard organization.
Mix On Sept II.
yelling and Dundee will mix It
on the night Of Sept, II. There are
two other fine bouts on the bill.
Pete Hartley and Joe BENJAMIN
will travel ten rounds and Andy
Clancy and Tommy Noble, the Bril-
ton, similar distance. Neither Of
the ten round bouts will involve a
decision.
They are planning some big
things in New York to stimulate in
terest in boxing shows and among
them is the creation Of several new
classes which permit . bundle Of
boys to shine at their natural fight
ing weights. Under the fnterna-
tional boxing rules formulated by
the army, navy and civilian board
Of boxing control and the Interna-
tional Sporting club Of New York,
Inc, the fresh brigades will be
started.
Glasses and Weights.
Among the classes are the junior
flyweight at 100 pounds, the fly
weight at 112 pounds, the junior
bantamweight at 11S pounds, the
junior featherweight at liz pounds,
the featherweight at 1875 pounds,
the junior lightweight at 100
pounds, the lightweight at 1876
pounds, the junior welterweight at
40 pounds, the welterweight at lat
pounds, the light-heavyweight at
ITS pounds and the heavyweight at
anything over ITS.
Never before has there been any
thing known as junior classes. It's
an original stunt and should be q
hit, inasmuch as it will give fight
ers who now have to give away
weight much Of the time chance
to show their prettiest in a division
in which they really belong.
Bost for Johnny.
For instance, a fighter like john
ny Dundee will become q brighter
light q 100 pounds in the junior
lightweight class than he has been
fighting real and heivier light
weights. Lew Tender and Willie
jackson might also glitter at that
notch, but they would have q tough
er time making the weight than
Dundee. But with those three and
some newcomers fighting it out at
100 such a class may get as popu-
lar as the legit lightweight perfof-
mers of today. It will depend on
the fighters. There must be good
fighters in any class to make it pay
One funny thing is that the New
York weights in all classes will moi
be ringside. The fighters will
scale eight hours before being due
to enter the ring and NO champion
will dictate the weighing time.
