HOCKEY
7 AK

OCKEY has now become in
every respect one of the ma
tional games of the United
n n States. So as not to seem to
detract from the time honored recOgni-
ton of baseball as the real national
game of the country. we may well term
hockey the national winter pastime.
American methods of playing hockey
are limitations of the tactics of Cana
dian experts, for the Canucks first de-
veloped the game scientifically, and
we soon evidenced that we were willing
to take lessons from our temporary SUI
periOrs, temporary because Americans
pride themselves on rapidly learning to
excel other nations in their own pet
sports.
1t is surprising to note the great
progress the lads of Uncle Sans do
minions have made in hockey and how
closely they approach the Canadians in
knowledge of the peerless ice sport I
can safely state that in the last five
years we have advanced so per cent in

Junk" RUSSELL TO
FIGHT DIAL HAWKINS

Junk" Russell, who made such
a good showing against Young Cor
bett at Philadelphia, is scheduled
to fight Dial Hawkins in the near
future. Hawkins had almost pass
ed from ring memory. Years ago
he was famous for his walloping
left punch. On the afternoon of
the ett-Fitzsimmons fight at
Carson City he defeated Martin
Flaherty, in the same ring, in eight
rounds. He made money and went
skylarking down the champagne
and lobster route, with the result
that half the second-raters in the
country took his measure. Now it
is said he has, like McGovern, come
back, and is able 20 give good
account of himself.

ger of being thrown during the

The prettiest wrestling Of the
tournament was in the race for
second honors, which was tie be-
tween Delivuk, the Australian, and
Emil Maupas of Montreal. The
two had met earlier six times,
without securing a fall, and both
had been thrown by Apollo. They
went at 1t hammer and tongs for
one of the hottest bouts of the
season, Delivuk finally securing a
fall just before time. Each had
conquered an opponent earlier in
the evening in hard contests,
curiously enough, lasted q minutes
each. Maupas put Schnabel to the
mat in q minutes and Delivuk did
the same with Chouiniere, although
the sturdy Frenchman had the
Australian guessing the whole
time.
AS a result, a tie for second and
third places developed, and Deli

What has become of all the talk
about stopping the fight game at
the Athletic club? 1t is safe to
say that as long as Melody is on
Eddie Quinn's staff and can rake
sheckels into the clubs Golfers the
mitt men will hold open house in
the club.
o O o
The objection offered to fighting
simply because it is fighting or be-
cause it is professional fighting, it
is safe to say, weighs little with
club members. What appeals to
the club man who loves his club,
loves it as a place to meet his
friends and enjoy there that fel,
lowship for which a club stands,
is the fact that prize fighting
draws into and around the club a
body of hangers-on, who can do the
institution no good and with whom
the great body of the club member
ship does not care to associate.
