RNGlDE WEIGHTS FOR
CHAMPIONS ARE FAVORED
BY Henry l.. Farrell
Omitted Press COrreSpOnde


New York, Feb. 23.-some time
ago we ridiculed the British motion
that Joe Lynch came into the ring
against Pete Herman seven or eight
pounds over weight because he
stepped on the scales eight hours be-
fore the bout.
No less prominent parsonage
than Mike Gibbons, the former mid
die weight boxing star and an au-
thority on ring affairs, rushes to our
rescue.
ANY one connected with boxing
knows that bantam weight, a
feather weight or q light weight
could not add seven pounds between
2 o'clock in the, afternoon and 1(
o'clock at night and be in prime con
dition to fight, Mike writes.
Mike likes the idea of weights il

ion," Gibbons writes, "should be on

Leonard. for instance, would not
think of making the light weight
limit at ringside for any contender.
He should either make the weight
or become a weller. He should be
rated an undefeated champion and
move up notch. A champion should
not be permitted to hold a title after
he has outgrown his class. This is
he is fine fellow and a credit to
the game-but he is welterweight.
II am in favor of the ruling al
lowing boxers in non-championship
contests weighing in eight hours be-
fore the contest. The fact that they
may take on a pound or two is Of
minor Importance. The big thing
is that the boxers have more time to
relax and rest. The consequence is a
better exhibition. Making weight is
a fearful grind for boxer. I've
been through the mill and l know
what the last two days are.
Let a boxer step on the scales at
two o'clock after aAhard time train
ing and find out he has made the
weight. The greatest relief in the
world. Worry goes. He can go out
and sleep, eat or do anything to rest
his nerves and keep his mind away
from the fight.
