B RACE INDICATOR. ETTING AS A 10000090-00000004 ~ARY' YET BE ABLE To Pose A A CHAMPIONS WHORE REAL CHAMPIONS IN THE PRIZE RING TO-DAY? Under the Present System of Figuring Weights Among the Little Fighters the Legitimate Holders of Titles Are Hard to Locate, BY ROBERT EDGREN. f The time may not be long until James J. Jeffries, welter-weght cham- Plon of the world, will be wrangling over the weight question with Gus Be AIK TITLE STEEN TO 60 Rublin, the famous light-weight. Tom Sharkey, eminent holder of the feather-weight honors, will snub , the dangerous advances of Robert Fitzsimmons, that noted ‘bantam-weight gighter Why not? With the present arithmetically progressing weight-limits Gmong the smaller fighters nothing seems imposable, Frankie Neil, tho actual bantam-weight champion of America (and that fs to say of the world), is compelled to fight boys weighing not less than 320 pounds. And one of these happening to beat him would promptly claim the title. Popular clamor would back him} and in a few weeks he would be accepted as holder of the honors, Joe Gans, holder of the light-weight title, will not, or cannot, make the light-weght limit for his fights. The best he can do {s 185 at 6 o'clock; and the legitimate weight is 13%, not in the afternoon, but at the ide, “YOUNG CORBETT” RESPONSIBLE. “Young Corbett” started tho tangjing of boxing titles, Immediately after his defeat of Terry McGovern, af Hartford, I saw “Young Corbett” In his dressing-room. “How about the title?” I asked him, “Oh, I don't claim any title,” “Corbett” replied. “We didn't fight at ‘weight. I will be known as the man who whipped Terry McGovern, and ‘that is enough glory for me." It took “Young Corbett" just about a day in New York to change his mind. Then the demands of the theatrical business made It necessary for him to be billed as “champion of the world.” The feather-weight limit stands at 122 pounds ringside. “Young Corbett’s” lightest welght, at which be fought Terry, was five pounds over that in the afternoon, Then “Young Corbett” in turn fought Jimmy Britt, of 'Frisco, at 180 pounds, weighing in hours before the fight, and lost. Britt, careless of it at frst, claimed the title, and was popularly given the credit of holding it. Tf there can be a 130-pound feather-welght champion, then there can be a 140 or 150 or 250, for that matter, pound feather-weight champion. The zame reasoning applies to the bantam, light, welter, middle and Hight heavy-weight classes. A championship cannot be won by a fighter who contests for f* at any fweight over the class limit. In amateur contests governed by rulings of’ the A. A. U. it would be impossible for a boxer to hold honors he was not entitled to. If a ;attonal list of champions were written {t would read as follows: THE REAL CHAMPIONS. Heavy-weight—unlimited welght.. Light heavy-weight—165 pounds ringside. Middle-welght—158 pounds... Welter-weight—142 pounds . Light-welght—133 pounds eee Feather-weight—122 pounds . Frankie Nei) Bantam-weight—115 pounds . ¢ .Frankle Nell, | In the matter of the feather- wolght “class, Terry McGovern ts no longer, $m the class at all, and could aot make the weight. At present there is no 122 pound boy in sight who cau whip Neil. “feather-welghts” are too big. JOHN L. SULLIVAN PICKS HERMAN AS A WINNER (Special to The Evening World.) BT.
