Where He Has Important
Matches
NEW YORK. Oct. 31.»-ln the an-
nouncement yesterday that Benny
Leonard had been matched to box
Jimmy Duffy. 0t Lockport. N. Y.. fif-
teen rounds to a referee's decision at
Tulsa. ()kla., on November 15, at 140
pounds for the lightweight champion-
ship, the flexible limit of the class was
stretched t0 thc breaking point. While
.Leonurd but «Vercises the right of a
lightweight champion established by
years of precedent to name the weight
for-,3 title clash it is the first time in
the history of the. division that the fig‘
ures have been set at 140 pounds. Pm-
sibly the champion may scale less than
140 pounds. and beyond doubt Duffy
has no more chance of getting a deci~ -
sion on points over Leonard than Fred
McKay would have to beat Jack Demp- .
593’.
The first champion to violate the so-
'called lightweight limit oi 19.3 pounds
was Jack McAulift‘e. the original title
holder under Queensberry rules. In
his last important defence of the title.
at, New Orleans. on September 5. 1892,
against Billy Myer. the champion
scaled at 137 3-4 pounds and the chal—
it ngor 137 1—2 pounds.
No Protect Against McAulifle.
Yet there was no wild protest
against McAulifie holding the title.
.Tbe next violent departure from the
revered 33 ringfldc came when Kid
Lavignc won the world's lightweight
lille from llick Duran. in London, on
June 1. 1896. Barge dictated 138
pounds. and while Laxigne weighed
much less than the Bi‘iifin it was at 138
pounds that tho Saginaw Kid won the
world‘s championship. which nobody
can deny. He lost title to Erne at 135.
t‘. p_ to. Then the. eminent Gans knock-
ed out the clever Frank Erne for the
title at F011 Erie. Ont.. on May 12.
1902, at 136 pounds, 7 p. m.. and with
the exception of the battles between
Nelson art Cans, “blast-Nelson and
RitchiecWolgast. which were. at. 133
pounds. all the‘otber championship
bouts have been at. 135 at 3 p. m.

Probably the most important Chan:-
es that have been recommended are
ltbose of the general rules allctting

'cillc Coast Association is still strong"
for a rule that would bar athletes from

be made Will be the revision of the

be changed will be to allow nit-r. who
