Show GEORGE SILERS RING TALK Benny Ynnger Coming Champion According to Chicago Dope Benny Tangero victory over Austin Rice at the America club last Monday I night makes him tie top sawyer o the legitimate featherweight class a class that unfortunately for Benny carries car-ries with it no honors such as It would have carried several years ago 01 before Terry McGovdrn and Young Corbett raised the scale of weights This boosting oC weights by champions cham-pions not only in the featherweight class but In the bantam and lIghtweight lIght-weight divisions Is to be deplored but as the champions fix the scale and are upheld by the sporting public nothing car be done In the malter 1 Is i only a short while ago thai ne had champions at very known weight between be-tween the bantam feather and lightweights light-weights but they It appears have been lost in the shuffle and the champions cham-pions In the three divisions have pooled their Issues so to speak and have sot the notch to the highest possible limit Beginning with 1 the bantams we find their weight limit raised from 110 pounds to llii The featherweights have gone furlher by adding fully ten pounds lo their limit A few years ago the high notch was US pounds this was latci raised to 122 and at present Is 127 weigh In about six hours before entering the ring tin weight Corbetl and McGovcrn have signed tom their next championship bottle The lightwelghls hnvii nol been quite so brush with the scales as the present champion Joe Gals has l signified his willingness to meet any one at 135 pounds two pounds above the old limit This making of new champions that do not hit the old and legitimate notches demands a general revision of weights I not that then SOle kind 1 of arrangements ar-rangements should be made for more shamplons As the matter stands at present there arc too many pounds between be-tween the bantam feather and lightweights light-weights With the high murk for bantams ban-tams at llfi pounds a USpound youngster young-ster would be u fullHedged featherweight feather-weight and as such would bo compelled com-pelled to fight a 128 or HiOpounder foi the championship and a 105pound bantam would have to cope with I llf pounder l This IK too big a handicap but the champions In those two classes demand aspirants for their I honors must light at the weights they set Unfortunately Un-fortunately thcre is no governing power In pugilism and the high weights In the bantam and featherweight classes class-es at least will remain Iniact untl some light bantam or feather comes along trims the champions and nets the weights back to the old limit Yangcrs victory over Rice places him as stated at HIP head of the legitimate I le-gitimate featherweights He has never met with a defeat and Is In
