IT is now up tdi the boxing pro
moters of the TJnlted States to
get togetiiei) and adopt a uniform
set of weights that they may work in
harmony with other countries where
boxing matches are held. The Euro
pean countries, with Great Britain
leading, have all adopted the" British
scale of weights and now comes Aus
tralia and New Zealand with the an
nouncement that they have accepted
;hc British weights as official. A
fleeting was 'recently called In Sydney
b R. L. Baker, the leading promoter
tnere. for the purpose or considering
a uniform scale of weights. The mat
tor was given every consideration and
finally the delegates voted to adopt

Thosi wiights are as follows: Ban-'
tamweight. IIS pounds; featherweight.

"Weigh In at O clock.
The onl- difference is tnat the
-neighing m time in England and,
France is 2 o lock in the afternoon,
while in Australia it is at' ringside.
The Australian conference alsb took
action regarding championship con
tests in that country. Where ft. boxer
from another country has had a resi
dential qualification of 12 months and
defeats an Australian in a title match,
he shall hold the title only while a
resident of that country and on his
departure, the championship shall re
vert to the previous ho:cer. In the
eient of death o'f the Holder of any
title, such title shall revert to the
previous holder. These, rules were
parsed and are now in effect. It is
a move in the right direction and it
is about time hat the American pro
moters git together and took similar
action. ' "
The Wisconsin Boxing' commission
bas taken its first fling at boxers who

the South Side A. C. at Wilwaukee,
that Bob Moha had violated his agree

Tommy Larkin, had signed with the
first named club. The commission
ruled that Moha should nave known

SMITH WINS FIGHT
WITH LANG-FORD
Gnnnrr-'s Hardest Blown Fall to Mark
the Boston Negro TJnrlng 12
Round Bout. 1
Boston. Mass., Nov. IS. Gunboat
Smith, of New York, was given the
decision over Sam Langford, of Boston,
at the end of a 12 round bout here last
night .
Smith led cleverly during the early
rounds, scoring repeatedly on left Jabs
to Langford's head and body, while the
Boston negro made no serious attempt'
at defenc. But as the bout went on.
Smith wearied and- Uamsford assumed
the aggressive, sending lefts and
rights to Smith's body, at short range,
while the latter swung unsuccessfully
at Langford's head. So many and so
strong were Langford's blows in the
closing rounds that many of the spec
tators expressed surprise at the de
cision of referee Dick Flemmlng.
Smith, at the start jabbea away with
his left supplying neary all the ac
tion Langford did not seem to be
bothered by long range blows, turning
away many without great effort and
standing up under others without de
fence. Occasionally he landed a rignt
or left on Smith's body but not until
the seventh round did he matte any ap
parent attempt to end the battle. Then
Langford started a short range fight
which, in the eighth round resulted in
opening Smith's cheek under the left
eye
Smith, by reputation a" strong right
hand fighter, relied on hW left jabs
throughout -S-veral attempts to land
right swings -met with varying success.
But his jabs were continuous.
Smith's iheek bled rreelv as the
fi?ht neared the end, the blood get
ting into his e e and minding him.
He also seemed fatu.ued and hung on
to his opponent, while Langford. al
though apparently carrying more
wight than at anv time rn his career.
appeared the stronger. Langford was
unmarked.
charges were filed. It was known
that Tommy Walsh, wno signed for
McGoorty, decided to. snoulfler the
blame and therefore ihefciub dropped
the esse. Jimmy Juffy, the Buffalo
lightweight, was charged with violat
ing his contract to meet Charlie White
before the National A. C. of Mil
waukee, but it was snown that a
misunderstanding over delayed tele
grams resulted and the trouble could
not be avoided. Boxers might as well
know, however, that contracts must
be lived up to.
Pal Brown, the Minnesota light-
ueieht the boyish looking fighter, is
a hero in the eves of the Australian
f fight fans, tMe same as Jimmy Clabby
was when he defeated Artnur cripps
and other middleweights over there
Pal made such a hit when ne defeated
Hughie Mehegan, the Australian light
weight champion, that "Snows' Baker,
the promoter, is having a belt, emble
matic of the Australian championship,
made for him. That is one title Pal
holds and he expects to annex another
when he returns to the states, for he
is determined to get after Freddy
Welsh's British title, so as to make
his claim in that part complete, and
then if successful, he can get after
Willie Ritchie's crown the latter
having promised Pal a match last
winter.
I have just received a letter from
"Snowy" Baker regarding the bout be
tween Brown and Mehegan In Sydney.
He says: "The wonderrul victory .jf
Pal Brown over our own Mehegan
has set the fans wile and all of
them are off on a holiday. My. but
what a boy that Brown is! The fistic
world has never had sucn a surprise

ed them here. Brown aid a couple
of public training stunts before the
match and th fistic folk and wise
ones summed him up as a joke.
Certain bookies bet as high as 20 to 1
against him. Brown looked like a
fresh school boy against the rugged
Mehegan when they shoox hands, but
my what a change and now that boy
did fight! From round one till the
28th he gave and took with Menegan,
and you know the Australian cham
pion can give . some. Brown created
the sensation that Jimmy Clabby dkl

Yankees' Scout Is Valuab-e Asset
Arthur Irwin, Hapdicapped by Previous Managers, Shows Ability in Securing
Sensational Players for Piht Frank Chance.
: By SAM CRANE.-
N
EW YORK. Nov. IS. Arthur
Irwin, the peerless, scout of the
Yankees, is optimistic as to the
outlook of the American league and
the Yankees in particular for the sea
son of 1914.
"Peerless Scout" has been the cog
nomen that has given. Arthur Irwin, a
much deserved reputation. There was
one year during which he- brought
Into the coffers of the New York
American league club fully $50,000 "by
nis snrewaness in engaging players
for Frank Farrell and " disposing ot
them. And that was business acumen
combined with scouting experience
and judgment of players that appealed
to the head of the local American
league club.
There were times when, by reason
of Yankee managers' denseness . Ir
win's prowess as a scout would some
what wane, but through all the ups
and downs Irwin has seen his best
efforts go for naught: he has some
how managed to bob up with- his rep
utation as a scout undimmed.
Hns Been Flnndlrnppcd.
What possible successful results was
Irwin to obtain when managers like
Kid Elberfeld, Hal Chase and Harry
Wolverton were allowed to queer his
selections of youthful talent?
None whatever.
But no matter what great handi
caps were put on ,Irwin by 'foolish
managers, who by reason of jealousy,
inside politics andvother. causes pro
duced the hurdles.-scout Irwin has
invariably come out at the big end of
the horn, and simply because Frank
Farrell had confidence, In" the ability
of his scout.
If Yankee managers failed to show
results. Irwin did, and in consequence
he is now as he always was, and will
be one of the most valuable assets
E. WRAY
Harvard's is puerile, as Crimson
athletes in , other branches wear des
ignations in contests. Missouri's,
while perfectly true, does not help the
school any, because scouts worth the
name are able to size up formations
and plays as well without numbers
as with them. They've been doing it
for lo, these many years at least
Where Number Would Ilelp.
That numbering-players' is a-necessity
was shown at the recent Princeton-Harvard
game. ' '
The megaphone man ln the press
stand, supposed' to be able to correct
ly name the men making the different
plays, was often uncertain. The most
important play of the -day -was .the
flocking or the Princeton punt caus
lngthe ball to' fly back toward Prince
tons goal, where it was recovered by
a Harvard man. The single score
followed as a direct result of this,
let half a dpzen different players
were named in different papers next
day as the one deserving credit for
the play.
It was two days later that Har
vard s coach came out. rather indiffer
ently, and announced tnat It was
Storer, not Brickley, who blocked that
punt If Harrard, men had been
numbered there never would have
been a mistake.
Ail through any football game you
can see people in the stands craning
"Lr necks a" asking anxiously:
Who was that? Who made that

wired orders to Wolgast to let Williams
alone unless the Coloradoan could post
a large side bet for a return fight An
ing day Williams has refused i
tures to meet Wolgast again.
the Greater New York baseball club
has.
President Fifrrell relies on Irwin's
judgment- because the "latter has made
good in his particular line.
This was never more plainly evi
dent than last season, when Irwin
jumped out into the minor leagues
and corralled players or the Maisel
class, that resulted in the Yankees be
ing as much talked about In the last
days of the championship season as
tfiey had .been at the start of It by the
engagement of Frank Chance as man
ager.
Showed nh Anility.
And that is just where Arthur Ir
win's ability as a scout came into
play, and decided conclusively his
worth to the club.
The Yankees were in the cellar, and
with no apparent chance of pulling
themselves out Manager Chance was
obliged to confine his duties to the
players who had been wished on him.
and according to him they were not
,a lueky wishbone.
xne tanKees were going rrom oaa
to worse: something had to be done
and Arthur Irwin was put on the
bases and again made good.
From the Yankees being the laugh
ing stock of bascballdoro, they were
-developed into a team that people
talked about Maisel's base running
did the whole thing, and with the
promising work done by other players
scout Irwin unearthed, the ' Yankees'
games at the Polo grounds became
sensational. From paltry crowds, the
attendance Improved day by day until
the numbers of patrons compared
favorably with those drawn by the
Giants. ,
Of course, Frank Farrell must be
given credit for it was his liberality !
that enabled Irwin to cut loese with j
the money he needed to make his I
aeais, but mind you, Irwin was sent
out to make the deals on a field ot
operation that was considered to have
been milked dry. Scouts of other
clubs had found no promising talent
at all, and they said It was Impos
sible to do so there was nothing
there.
BUt now, after all these successes,
scout Irwin is wise enough to come
right back to the field that 1 claim
is the most fertile of any and i3
unearthing players from Greater New
York and he will make good again.

power plus. It is speedy because, being
reloaded by the recoil of the fired cartridge,
it can be shot and reloaded by simply pull-
ing the trigger. It is powerful because it '
handles a cartridge of the most modern i

passes all other rifles, of this type in
the strength and simplicity of its action.
