SHERLOCK HOLMES
DAD IS DIRECTING

London, Nov. 29.-Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle has come out emphatically in
opposition to the people who are try.
Ing to end prize fighting in England,
Indeed. all England is much excited.
Prize fighting is as popular here as
baseball in America. Until the home
office stopped the proposed Johnson
Wells match because Of public opposi-
ton to a fight between a negro and a
white man, prize fighting was practi.
cally unrestricted.
The anti-fight element succeeded in
having a North of England court put
Its band on the proposed Moran-Dris.
coll match and fight lovers became
frightened. If the higher tribunal to
which the Moran-Driscoll promoters
have appealed sustains the lower one.
the game will be killed throughout the
country.
The love of boxing" said Arthur
Conan DOYLE. in explaining why he is
q fight fan, "is in the blood OF the
English people. It is part of our ma.
ion character. SO long as that
character remains what it is we will
have boxing contests.
Not even the courts Ear stop prize
lighting In ENGLAND. The only thing
they can decide is whether the fights
shall take place. as hitherto, with the
press and police present as we'll as the
public, or whether it is better to. have
them conducted secretly.
Should the attempt to enforce
secrecy prevail. 1t will be bad for the
manhood of the co~untry-bad for the
nation at large. We must have some
sport left to U.S."

MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS OF
ALL SORTS
KILLING GOLDEN GOOSE.

Washington Post: Up around New
York, in the fistic game, it begins to
look like the old story of the goose
that laid the golden egg, and which
was hurried unwisely to its demise.
No less than six boxing shows We're
carded in various sections Of the me-
tropolis recently. Manhattan having
three, Brooklyn two. and Long Island
one. That is splitting the interest,
even in a city as big as New York.
Either some Of the clubs or the game
itself must go. No city car support
that number Of first class boxing
shows. especially when several other
evenings Of the week are nearly as
badly crowded.
One thing in the games favor. under
the present commission, is the renewed
refusal to allow decisions. for which
part of the sporting element has been
agitating ver since the law went into
effect. AS it stands. gambling is mini
mixed. and the panning Of the officials
not great. After the Brown and Ho-
gan fight on Friday Of last week. at
least two we'll known and unprejudiced
writer's hammered ever so capable a
referee as Charlie White. claiming that
he was unduly active in protecting
Brown in his work in breaking the
boys on W occasions where Hogan
had the New York pet in trouble. Had
there been wagers dependent upon
a referees decision, a row reaching
the proportions Of a scandal might
have enSued.

1t is almost impossible to pick an

task. Comparative work., using sta
tistics and hearsay, on which to base
judgement is a poor way to size up

have been a different matter. but such
