BRITISH BOXERS Are BEATEN
Disastrous Year for Englishmen
Who Have Fought Yankees,
Peculiar Methods of Training o
BritonS Had Much to Do with
Many Defeats in Ring.

The preceding six months of 1897 have
been disastrous for British boxers Whc
have been matched against Americans.
Many of the best men among the English
men who have met Americans have gone
down to defeat, and there is little eXpec-
tation for some Of them that they viii
recover their prestige
Johnny Summers, beaten by Young
Erne. is the last Of them TO 60 down be-
fore a clever American boy Jack Palmer.
beaten by Jack sullivan. was another
victim. Tiger Smith. stopped by Sam
Langford. was a third, and Spike Rob
son had narrow escape in his bout with
Tommy Murphy. The only one who has
so far escaped is little Sammy kellar,
who claims the u0-pOund championship
of England Although few persons paid
attention 10 him and his claim, he show
ed Terry Edwards few things before a
crowd of society men at the Strollers
Club last night
All OF which may be due to the pecu-
liar method Of training Of the Britons.
Long ago the Americans learned that
alcohol did not mix with athletics. Though
fighters may have drank too much when
they We're not in training, they have quit
when work began. But many Of the
Englishmen have insisted that ale is one
of the necessities Of their diet when in
course Of preparation for a fight When
Johnny Summers was getting ready for
the FIRST bout in the United States-that
with Murphy at the National Athletic
Club IN Philadelphia-he drank a halt
pint of ale each day. His managers did
not like 1t, but Johnny so strongly in

Objections 20 Decisions OF Umpire
Mars Game at Rockville.

Rockville. Nd, June 22.-The team
representing St Elizabeth's Insane
Asylum, Of Washington. was defeated
by the local team this afternoon by
S to 5.
Rockville had a rally in the NTH,
which netted six runs, and in the ninth
the visitors scored four. The batting
OF Kemp and the fielding Of Thrall
were the features.
The game was marred by constant
wrangliDg over the decisions of the

The game at Marshall Hail was one of
the best Of the series The diamond was
measured off by Mr. Anderson before the
game, but the ground was in good con-
diti0n, and three of the four errors
made were on poor throws.
With Norman Kraft at his best in

turned back from the second cushion

The spirit of Christmas! What Is
the spirit of Christmas? Is it the
generous spirit, the spirit of giving?
Yes, but that is not all. There will be
millions of gifts made between now
and the new year. and they will not
all express the Christmas spirit.
Some will be made out of pockets Of
plenty and thus entail no personal
service; some will be made under
compulsion Of supposed necessity.
How many people give things at this
time because they think they must.
They must give To those who, they
hope or fear, will give to them. 1t is
almost unfortunate that giving and
taking has become such feature OF
our Christmas celebration because
the mere gift is incapable OF express
ing the spirit of this occasion, and the
occasion itself has become burden
to many because 1t has been so much
abused. 1t is not by giving lavishly
that we. honor Christ, whose birth we
celebrate, but by sharing unselfishly
every good thing we possess. This
puts the best things of Christmas
within reach Of every human life and
enables every human being however
poor In goods to give generously Of
whatever else he has. We all have
much. Is money denied US. then let
us give what Is better, word to
cheer, smile to awaken hope, some
thing out of our hearts treasure. Who
would not rather get cordial mes
sage from friend that would express
his thought and appreciation, than
to get dollar trinket? What heresy
to think that we cannot express an
unselfish love at Christmas time ex-
cept by lavish use Of money. The
spirit Of Christmas Is the spirit Of

chanaed History Of World.

The history OF the world prior to
Christ is a history of barbarism, cruel
ty and bloodshed. Read the history
Of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome
and you read history Of vice, deg

written In blood and iniquity. The
classic Greeks and tenacious Romans
worshiped multitude of gods. Even
the Inhabitants of Syria had gone
astray until 1t was declared by the
prophet. Our worthy ancestors, the
Teutonics, were a semibarbarous
people without literature. without gov

the glad tidings Of the gospel of
