MAKING WEIGHT BANE OF FIGHTERS Nature Often Deals Unkindly With Many Near Champions BY BILLY EVA Nature often deals unkindly with some of the greaters fighters In making such a statement I have in mind the weights of the various livisions. The great fighters 1 have erred to are Johnny Dunde, Mike bons, Harry Greb and Packey Me- nd. John Dundee had one shot at the featherweight title meeting Johnny kilbane short! after he had won the championship fom Abe Attell. Dundee, of course was foreed to eight limit. He experienced considerable trouble get- tie down to the weight and was huch weakened. Despite this, he d_ Kilbane 20-round draw decision. t is the closest shave bane has ever had for the feather veight title. While Dundee later met Kilbane in New York, it was not at the featherweight limit, and he would not have won the title by even a knockout. In-Between Weights. Dundee is one of the in-between fighters. He is strongest at about MEFARLANQ SHOWED THe EFFECTS NOHEN, HE HAD % MAKE, © GET Lower MAN’ 166 USUALLY SAPS TRENGT . GREB'S:S wifore Bae “BEEN UNKIND fe 127 or 128. Such a weight is about the same poundage under the light- weight limit as it is over the feath- erweight. Few featherweights have had much of a liking for Dundee’s game. As a result, during the greater part of his career, in order to keep busy, Dundee has been forced to take on the -leading lightweight contenders. In 2 majority of his bouts, Dundee has given away from 10 to 15 pounds, Had nature endowed Dundee with five or six more pounds, it is witain reason to believe that he would at » time have acquired the light- ht title. If nature had been a trifle less generous, Dundee would have been able to quality as a featherweigit and enter the ring strong at the required weight. Packey McFarland, during his ring career, had a similar experience to that of Dundee. Packey, when train- ed fine, had trouble getting lower than 137 or 138 and still retain ais strength. For several important houts he did make 135, but showed the effects. McFarland Was a Wonder. Thus nature made McFarland * deNDeE” neither a lightweight nor a welter, waich eliminated one of the greatest ring from winning a title. McFarland, however, was so clever that he was able to meet fighters much heavier and be in danger. Then there is the case of Harry Greb. To get lower than 165 usual- ly sapped Greb's étrength. That weight is seven pounds’ over the mid- | dleweight limit. Johnny Wilson would have been easy for Greb could he have made the middleweight poundage. Mike Gibbons was another great fighter who never won a title, latge- ly because his best weigat was: just between that of the welter and mid- dleweight limits. Dundee and Greb, however, have} been able to capture a title. Dundee is rated champion of the junior lightweigat division, 130 pounds, a classification created by the New| York Boxing Commission. the light heavyweight fwinning that honor Tunney. champion, from Gene ON Baseball Experts Often Err In Their Selection | im 28 holes of soit in the morning Of Players / Do the leading managers of base- ball, the so-called wise guys of the mistakes in passing judgment on players? ‘Just listen.

A : fai | Billy Evans Says | ———_—_——____-—__-0 Wrestling, as a sport, is enjoying a big revival in the college world... The “Big Ten” of the west, as well most of the leading eastern in- stitutions, are paying much atten- tion to wrestling as a sport. For a time, the mat game received only a iyke-karm reception, but taat attitude has changed entirely. In many. of the larger schools from 500 to 1000 students take part in wrest- ling events which are graded to meet the physical possibilities of the various candidates. ; In recent years tae football coaches have come out strongly in favor of wregtling as-a college sport. It develops there is a method in th madness. Wrestling makes for bi ter football. This is " Particularly true’ of ie forwards. a Te igs ‘the case of Jim McMitian the Dickinson gam 0, vtook up net Abe mont-talked-about smiddle west last aea- pen, of a fi poed lineman ‘a. Mia Ee son McMillan has gone ack to wrestling and ,/contineus to great improvement in the tri the mat game. Such being the case it is only logical to assume that he will be an even better football play- er in the fall. In the east no lineman is more feared than “Tiny McMahon of Penn State, who measures 6 feet 7 inches. McMahon is a great wrest- ler, also an equally great forwatd. In 1921, when Penn State made three touchdowns against Harvard, it was through the gaping holes made by McMahon that Killinger and Wilson filtered through for big gains. * : It is an easy matter to figure how wrestling can work to the advantage of a lineman in football. Wrestling demands co-ordination of the arms .and legs.|’ That trait is also most essential in football. The tricks of the wrestling game give the line- man who is familiar with them a distinct advantage over his op- ponent. And the beauty of it is that the tricks of the mat game dre usually sanctioned by the football officials as perfectly legal. All of which explans why every football coach, the country over, is advising his footbal players to take up wrestling—the linemen in par- ticular. 7 ‘Golf and Auto.

SLOW, SLIPSHOD DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS, AND ‘ TO OLD-STYLE, WASTEFUL SELLING METHODS. For example, every year tons of fruits and vegetables rot on the ground, because it doesn’t pay to pick them. Discouraged growers plant less the next season, and the supply of food is reduced. Meanwhile, consumers in the cities near by grumble over high prices. Demand and supply are not brought together. i UTIAGEUONUOGLUUNEUEUEUOGUOSUUOOOEOUOGEOOOEOGEGSUOGSGGOEOLELEUGSE UE EEO Oe Contrast this with the handling of oranges. $1,000,- 000 a year is spent for advertising by the co-operative Y association of the California Fruit Growers. A large sum; yet it is only about one-fifth of a cent per dozen— one-sixtieth of a cent for each orange sold. And this advertising has kept down the cost of oranges. To quote an official of the Exchange: “The cost of selling oranges and lemons through the ~ California Fruit Growers’ Exchange is lower today than it was ten years ago. . _» “In the twelve years since the first campaign was launched the consumption of California oranges has doubled. The American consumer has been taught by co-operative advertising to eat nearly twice as many oranges as before. ; eet 4 “Had thé orange industry remained on the old basis,- there would have been no profit in growing oranges. New acreage would not have been planted. Orchards would most.surely have been uprooted and other crops rs planted.” we \ Pac Advertising, properly done, saves money for the con- sumer and makes money for the preducer by driving out wasteful methods, i increasing volume and'\ecutting down the costs of selling ‘and distribution.
