RINGSIDE WEIGHING WARRED UPON (By United Prese. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18 Coast fight promoters have taken up tm earnest the campaign agalnet ringside weighing. The agitation against the practice, which ts one of the biggest nulsances in the box fug game, was started by none theF than the redoubtable Billy Noten former manager for Battling Netaon, That ts, Nolan caused the aeitation to be started when he forced Joe Gans to get down to an mpossible weight for the negro’s Mhemorable battle with Nelson at Goldfield Nolan's taétics caused such di gust among fight followers and Promoters that a demand was im Mediately made for a discontiny ance of ringside weighing. Now comes James Coffroth, the greatest of the fight promoters, with the ult! matum that never again will he handle a fight calling for ringside Weight, whether a champlonshiy Qffair or not. To make his ulti Matum good he refused to make an offer for a return bi between Owen Moran and Abe Attell unless it is agreed between the boys that they weigh in not less than two hours before the fight Attell’s pecullar attitude over ax other Moran fight has caused ma ring fans to belteve that Attell is Just a bit afraid of the English man, and that he did got relish what the little fellow from acre the water re him tn thelr recent 25-round draw Another taiquitous ring pract that has seen ite t day, if later day referees are to be taken at their word, is the trick worked to good wivantage by Terry McGovern tn more than one of hia fights, The triek consisted of picking up « fighter immediately after he had knocked him down, not giving him an opportunity of taking the rest allowed by the rales, and at once knocking him down in The rules say that when a boxer knocks his man down he Must at once re reat to his corner wotll his adve Rattling Nel ‘ waned on his accidental , cur ford, that he ts i old Nel son, is not being ta seriounly by those who have followed the career of the Dane. The beating that Gans gave bim undoubtedly set him back physical! & very great extent, (t is contended, and this con tention was borne out when Nelson blew up so quickly In his last fight with Jimmy Britt. The student's dope is like thi Gans beat N mn for 43 rounds Nelson's next contest ts with Hritt who shim in 20, Britt then meets Gans and made to look like a er in five rounds, never having had the faintest lookin. If beat Nelson in 20 rounda can beat Britt tn five ee Nelson get off?
