BY W. W. NArGHTOX.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July ZT.-If.
a report has It, Jack Johnson Is to b
permitted to break Into the ten-round
game in New York. It means, probably,
that Johnson will round out his career
over the short bout route and will lay
down his laurels practically untarnished
when he elects to retire.
That the New York prospect appealed
to Johnson la evident to any thinking
roan. A day or two before he boxed
Jim Flynn the champion virtually de
" elded on a trip to Australia. ; He had of
Xcra of matches with Langford and Mc
Vea In that far land and told some of
the correspondents at Las Vega that all
the details had been agreed upon and
that he would leave for the Antipodes In
September.
:, Something In the Flynn match caused
Johnson to pause. Possibly he discovered
that long distance fights had becomo
more Irksome than formerly. Anyhow,
the talk aboupt the Australian matches
.was quietly' shelved and the announce
ment made that Johnson was looking for
ward to a series of ten-round bouts In
New York.
: Even though the . champion may be
ring sore and travel worn, It will take an
- exceptionally good man to get the better
of him In a ten-round contest. ; Jack Is
not so far gone but that he can train to
go the distance mentioned at a fast clip,
and wlfh his vast knowledge of all that
pertains , to rlngmanshlp and the fact
that strenuous work at close quarters is
debarred by the clean break rules at
present In voguo In New York, the
champion should be able to maintain his
prestige and dignity , without appearing
to turn a b&lr. , '
'Joe Jeannette la spoken of as the first
opponent for Johnson. The Champion has
been In the habit lately of referring to
Jeannette as the best of the heavyweight
bunch; but there is room for doubt as
to whether Jack really respected Jean-
, nette's fighting qualifications or Is Just
doing Ms. share toward boosting a
Johnson-Jeannette match.
'Jeannette's Interests have been assidu
ously promoted by Dan McKettrlck, who
FIX STANDARD FOR BOXING;
Present Scale of Weight Said to Be
Too Elastic.
TO CREATE ROBE CLASSES
For the last Tfctrtr Tears the Box
ers aad Their Maaaa-era Have
Arranged Welsh ta to y
Salt Themselves.
NEW YORK, 1 July 27.-When the box
ing season begins next winter and' the
State Athletic commission gets down to
work to revise its rules and regulations
It is more than probable that a standard
scale of weight will be arranged that
will be recognized all over the world.
It is a well-known fact that the present
scale of weights In the different classes,
which are supposed to govern the cham
pionship divisions. Is too elastic and that
matches are made with provisions that
are frequently out of reason and unneces
sary. It has been suggested to the com
mission that a change be made so as to
limit the championships to weights that
will bring men together at a nearer
poundage and the poundage mean a title.
The scale of championship weights that
has been suggested to the commission Is
believed would be advantageous to both
boxer and the patrons of boxing. The
old scale of featherweights, lightweights
and the like has been In vogue for years.
Long ago there were fewer boxers.
. The Increase In the popularity of the
sport ha brought forth - hundreds of
participants and It Is . thought that a
change should be made so as to create
a uniformity of weights and classes
which will give a boxer-an opportunity
to win additional honors as , he grows
older and heavier. , . ...
Draw a Flaer Limit.' , ' '
The proposition is to grade the classes
by poundage instead of titles by drawing
a finer limit to the weights and by cre
ating more classes. . For Instance, the
lightest weights to be recognized by the
commission would be 105 pounds. From
this low weight the rules will read so as
to make the next class 120 pounds and
from that point to range by an Increase
of ten pounds In every class up to 150
pounds, which would make divisions of
130, 140 and 150-pound classes and elim
inate the existing conditions of feather
weights, lightweights and so on. Thi
titles would then read; The 120-pound
champion and the 130-pound champion
and so on up the line.
By this means there would be honors to
earn that today are mtK.nomor In many
Old Fox Griffith Has the 3pot Light

challenges at Johnson and Langford
for the last couple of years. It Is al
ways to be noticed, however, that Mc
Kettrlck. when directing his defiances
at Langford, expresses preference for a
contest of twenty rounds or even longer.
"I want to ehow the world that Jean-

trlck, and such being the case the infer
ence to be drawn Is that Jeannette pre
fers a long bout to a short one, ho mat
ter who his opponent may be.
Under the circumstances it Is not easy
to figure that Jeannette stands a brilliant

to look to the middleweight division, or,

that ha been proposed for the middle

In dealing with the weights above 1W
pounds, It is suggested to make a class
from MS pounds up to 195 pounds, or

BT W. J. MACBETH. .
NEW YORK, July 27. According to the
generally. accepted opinion base ball al
ways ha been heretofore a law unto it
selfa law full of unaccountable eccen
tricity and vagary that follow no net
rule., Its .creed was most tersely, ex
pressed In a modest proverb of Harry C.
Pulllam, that still grace the wall of the
National league ; headquarters: "Take
nothing for granted In base ball."
The only ; exception to the capricious
whim was Washington. This habitual
tallender of the American league was a
striking Illustration of one Instance that
could always be taken for granted. The
great joke of the national pastime was
coined from Its humility: v "Washington,
first In war, first in peace and last In
the American .league race." ; ' '
Washington, hitherto the exception that
proved the rule. Is now proving It In fact.
The capital city -has evacuated -the cy
clone pit for a. prominent position in the
forefront of battle. "All things come to
him who .waits." - They certainly cam
Washington's way as a blessing In dls-f
guise, In no less a personage . than

major league managerial failure. With

Cincinnati Nationals' the old Fox. had dis

But In -vindicating his managerial fame

Wiseacres of the capital city and couple

Christy Mathewson' 1 the only big
league- pitcher with a record of over 800
victories., Starting his thirteenth. season.
he seems .to be twirling the same brand
of , base ball that has done so much
toward keeping . the New- York . Giants
either at the top or close, to the top on
the National league every year for over
a decade. When the marvelous , Mar-
quart and the rest -of the Giant staff
failed on the recent western5 trip and
brought on the first Giant slump of th
year. Mathewson was tne oniy twiner
who could be depended upon. Starting
his thirteenth year a a Giant Mathew
son, In Pittsburgh the other day. struck
out Hans Wagner four times. And Honus
Is still regarded as a fairly dangerous
cltlsen with the ash.
