Makes Special Weight.

IEV1NSON leans more toward the
lightweight limit of 135 pounds,
but by agreement he has trimmed
down to 130 pounds for Dupre. Ap-
parently LOUIS days as featherweight
are numbered, although the olive
skinned lad possibly still could make
the 126-pound limit without amputa-
ton of leg.
Dupre, on the other hand, is a nat
ural featherweight who remains at
about 1913 pounds in order to campaign
in both bantamweight and feather
weight ranks. Veteran fistic observ-
ers feel Gevinsons weight margin will
prove a decided handicap to Tony
should the bout go the limit.
Imported several weeks ago for the
express purpose of pumping gloves in
featherweight tourney designed to
find an opponent for Lou, the Italian
fighter disposed Of Armando Stella in
unimpressive fashion, but improved
greatly in whipping Baby Manuel.
A counter-puncher with an authori-
tative right-hand wallop, Dupre is ex-
pected to force the Jewish lad into
leading to him and then will attempt
to land his persuader.
Gevinson Decision Booed.
GEVINSON hardly was the picture
of perfection in his last match,
but most of the blame for that was
attributed to the fancy footwork Of
Christobal Jaramillo. The fast liJtle
Puerto Rican simply refused to come
within shouting distance Of Lou's left
hand and probably employed keen
judgment. The result was a booed
decision in favor of Gevinson.
Lou Camps, alias Luigi Castel-
grande, is the best known performer
in the preliminaries. A former New

champion, Camps will be seeking his

THE magnates also moved toward a
modification Of the "Shaugh-
messy play-off" system in vogue in the
International and American Associa-
ton baseball leagues. Under the rec
concentrations, the team finishing first
in the Western division would meet
the second-piace team in the Eastern
section on the Western clubs home
field. A similar game would be played
between the Eastern winner and the
Western runner-up on the Eastern
teams field.
The winners Of the two preliminary
