Owen Moran, English Lightweight.

The year 1910 saw more fatalities
In the prize ring than any other year
In the history of fisticuffs from the
days of Jim Figg, the founder of pugil-
ism, down. The list of deaths reaches
the unusually high number of 16.
The death at Presque Isle, Me-, re-
Gently of Billy Dunning made the six
teenth fatality of the prize ring in
1910, while there are at least two 9TH
er boxers now lying at deaths point
In hospitals, one being the veteran

These fatalities of the prize ring
have extended from the eastern coast
of Maine to the Pacific ocean and as
far south as Bluefelds, Nicaragua,
where corporal in Uncle Sans serv-
ice met his death in friendly contest
with the gloves. In the past two or
three deaths in season from boxing
have been sufficient to attract general
attention, while many years not sim

ported.
In the majority of instances the vic
Tins have been experienced boxers
whose injuries were received in sched-

One of the deaths occurred in a ring
contest in which Owen Moran, the
English lightweight who knocked out
Battling Nelson in San Francisco not
long ago, was principal Tommy Nc

of their battle in Dreamland rink, in

good old Saint Nick, and were happily
pleased at his bounty.
The children of Count de Cambrun,
military attache of the French en-
bassy, had a double Christmas. They
celebrated not only the Jour de Pan"
to which the French adhere, but also
the good old American Christmas, to
which their mother, who was Miss
Longworth of Cincinnati, the sister of
Representative Longworth. was &C
customed.
Christmas was observed in the
South American legations and en-
bassies with great merriment The
Calvo youngsters of the Costa Risan
legation had an elaborate "Nacimien-
to-" as Nine. Calvo is an adept in ar
ranging these. She had an entire lit
tie village showing the houses and
people Of Costa RIGA. But in spite of
their preference for this picturesque
adjunct of Christmas this did not pre-
vent Luis and Rafael from hanging up
their stockings in the good American
fashion.
Among the legation youngsters who
this year spent their first Christmas in
Washington are the children of the
newly arrived Norwegian minister, H
H. Bryn. There were high doings"
at the legation, too, for the Christmas
tree is native of Norway and old
Santa Claus thrives best of all in the
climate of ice and snow, to which the
Bryn children were born.
Francis and Leon de la Barra, the
young sons of the Mexican ambassa-
dor, Senior de la Barra, have also spent
their first Christmas in Washington.

The other Philadelphia death was
that of Frederick Castor, aged twenty,
in the sixth and last round of bout
at the Frankfort Athletic club in that
city against Spike" Sullivan. Castor
had been having all the better of the
argument and was striking for a
knockout punch in the final round,
when he suddenly fell unconscious,
and, although rushed to a hospital,
never regained consciousness.
One death occurred at Mineola, L. L.,
last July when Hugh Grant of Tuck
ahoe, a twenty-year-old bellboy in the
Garden City hotel engaged in a bout
at 116 pounds against Tommy WEIGH,
another pugilist of Grants own weight.
