BOXING IN ENGLAND DEAD.
Parson Davies Says Britain Has No
High Glass Fighters

New York, Dec. 2s-"Parson" Davies
arrived here from England on Tuesday
and left yesterday for Chicago. Several
months ago Davies went abroad with
the idea of organizing a boxing club in
London, but the scheme fell through
because he could not find a suitable
club house.. In talking of boxing in
Britain, Davies said to the newspaper
men:
THE game is practically dead on the
other side. and it is, in my opinion, due
TO the fighters themselves. for there is
not what you might. call a hrst-clasS
heavyweight pugilist in all England to-
day. For the man who can develop an
English heavyweight champion there is
big money, as the people over there
would go wild over such a fighter. Kid
Mccoy has been attracting some at
tention in England by knocking out
second-raters, but people would Xix to
see him tackle one of the big fellows,
say Jeffries, Rubin or Sharkey.
7 hardly believe that the National
Sporting club of London would make a
bid for a fight between Jeffries and Fitz-
simmons. for h reason that the club
would not give more than $4,000 for
such a match, which would be $1,000
more than Slavin and ackson received
As JeffrieS and Fitzsimmons could
draw at least $50, 600 in gate receipts in
this country, the National Sporting club
would not make an offer, because it
surely would be turned down.
IA heavyweight named Kid Dawson,
Who is telling people that he has a long
list of victories in America, is over in
England looking for noteriety. Mccoy,
Jack O'Brfen, Charlie McKeever and
Tommy West are all after his scalp"

given by Mrs. A W.. Wells of 613 Chan
der street, who says For three or
four years I was troubled with kidney
trouble. The heavy, bearing down,
aching through my loins and across the
small of my back was frequently SO
bad that I could only stand for a short

MILLIONS OF DUCKS

EFrom the Cleveland Leader.1
The average sober-minded stay-at-
home citizen who has heard or read
what enthusiastic hunters returning
from the marshes along the southern
shore of Lake Erie have said about
finding millions of ducks" there has
doubtless smiled at their extravagant
use of numbers and discounted these
tales literally, saying dividing them by
ten. Yet it is quite possible that there
have been millions there within a fort
night. Great lumber do not mean
much in dealing with hocks of wild
fowl, under favorable conditions.
In the old countries of Europe, where
marked statistics, and many other rec
aords have long been kept with more
detail than has been common in this
country some amazing facts bearing
upon the lumber of birds have been
learned For example there have been
years when over 5000, 900 larks, mostly
sky1arks, Ia been brought into the
single city of Leipsic. Germany. In
one winter more than 1,255.00o were dis
Dieppe., Single daily consignments of
$1,000 and $1,000 have reached London
In the light of such figures who shall
say that wild ducks may not be num-
bered by millions when they congre-
gate on favorite feeding grounds, on
their way south from the distant north
ern wilds where they breed in incredi-
BILE myriadS? and Wilson have
left convincing evidence that wild pig
cons used to fly in fOckS running far
up into the undre of thousands, or
even Millions, in the Mississippi valley,
and though the day of pigeons has
passed, the wild ducks remain nearly
as numerous as ever.
Perhaps the most striking evidence
which can be produced, however, as to
the immense numbe of wild birds
which are brought together by the right
conditions is afforded every fall by the
records of the deer slAGoting season in
states where that sport is still ommon
about 10000 deer are slain in a verv
brief space of time in Maine every au-
tumn. In Michigan the number is about
1000 and Minnesota and Wisconsin add
thousands more to the total for COM
p~aratively Did and well settled parts
of the United States.
Yet who woul dream Of comparing
the number of the wild deer living in
any state, not to speak merely of those
sho in a single season, with the hosts
of water fowl that fly south at the APP
proach of winter? BY contrast with
wild ducks, for instance, it might be
said that there were hardly any deer to
be found. 1t is easier to believe that
Ottawa country marshes this month
thar to realize that 40, 1000 deer can be
killed every fall in the single state of
Maine without making much impress
sion upon the number living there.
Another different hin as to the num-
Der of wild creatures still to be found
in civilized lands is afforded by the fact
that at least 100, 900, 900 fishes are taken
out of Lake Erie every year. They are
far more numerous than the people of
the United States. And this is one Of
the smallest of the great lakes
