KID LAVIGNE BECAME
 CHAMPION WHEN 27

George Kid Lavigne, who was born forty three years ago, was in his twenty-seventh year when he became lightweight cham pton of the world, the second to hold that title under Marquis of Queensberry rules. The great Jack McAuliffe, the first Queens berry lightweight tft1e-holder, was ready to retire in 1S96, and was not in condition to under take a long battle. Moreover, it was his ambition. to leave the so when Lavtgno challenged him McAuliffe would agree 10 only a four-round bout. There is little doubt that the Saginaw Kid could have put McAuliffe away in a long battle, but the superior cleverness of tho champion enabled him to make good showing over the short route. At the end of the bout, pulled off in Madison Square | Garden, McAuliffe announced his final retirement, and gave the belt-or, rather the ticket for the trophy-tO Lavigne. Me- his successor was the gamest man that ever drew breath. but that he lacked the first pr1n- cipIe of boxing, the art of self defence. After becoming cham pion, and defeating a few aspir- ants to the title in Ph1ladei- phia and other eastern cities, Lavigne went to England.
 He was matched with Dick Burge, lightweight champion of England, and Lavigne's packer, Dr. Ordway, backed him to the extent of $5,O00. Burge weigh ed 40 pounds, while Lav1gne
 f5s d. T1r> French Canadian knocked out Britain'S hope in the seven ueenth round. Returning 60 America, the Kid took on Jack Eyerhardt, the great southern scrapper, who gave him one of the hardest tussleS of his life. Lavigne won, but it took him trick. Then followed his second battle with Walcott, and al- though victor, Lavigne suffered permanent injury. The Kid had also been hitting the high places along the gay white ways of New York, London, San Francisco and other cities, and dissipation was getting in its work when Frank Erne chal- lenged him for the lightweight title. The first fight was a draw. but Erne made Lavigne extend himself to the limit to save himself from defeat. A little Ia- ter he was defeated by NGyster- ious Billy Smith, but as the lat ter was a welterweight it did not affect Lavigne'S title. That hon. or he lost to Erne at Buffalo, on July 3, 1899. A little later the Saginaw Kid attempted to come back against George, McF'adden. the Nemesis of champions, and was knocked out by tsEIbows'' in the nineteenth round. That ended Lavfgne's fighting career.

THORPE AND WEIGH NOT
 GOING ON HUNTING TRIP

The reports that Jim Thorpe and Welch of the Carlisle Indian School are going to Oklahoma on a bear hunt has stirred Coach Glenn Warner of the Redskins to action Word from Carlisle states that Warner has dis credited the report. Warner issues a hot denial in which he says:
 The story sent out from Carlisle to the effect that. Thorpe and Welch of the Carlisle football team were going on a vacation to Oklahoma to hunt bear was deliberate misstatement of facts and neither of these students of the Carlisle school has any intention of leaving at this time. Any one ac- Quainted with the country knows that the bear hunting on the Oklahoma praries would be mighty poor sport.
 "TI1is is but a sample of the many false and sensational reports which have been sent out from here and elsewhere regarding Thorpe and the Indian football team. Such extrava- gant phrases as phenomenal aggrega- tion Of football players wonderful physical condition Sc, are not sane toned by the authorities of the school, nor are they borne out by facts.
 tGus We1ch has been elected cap tain Of the Carlisle team for 1913. Welch is a Chippewa Indian, from Minnesota. He is 21 years old and has played quarterback on the Carlisle team for two seasons. He gave prom ise early in the season of being one of the best quarter backs of the year, but an injury to his ankle prevented him from playing his usually good game in the latter part of the season.

WASHINGTON TEAM TO
 LOSE CATCHER JOHN HENRY

That John Henry, the big catcher. may be little use to the Washington American club next season, is the dis couraging information that Clark Griffith, manager of the Nationals, brings from the wilds of Montana, where he spent the past few months on a hunting trip with Henry. Ac- cording to Griffith, Henry's knee, which was injured last summer, has mended but little since the season closed and 1t is a question whether he will be able to take his regular turn behind the bat next season.
 During his stay on Griffith's Mon tana ranch, Henry wore a steel brace over his knee all the time, fearing that he might injure it more seriously uni ess he took this precaution. Grif- ath says that it gave him some trou- ble at times and he does not deny that he is much annoyed by the injured members failure to heal properly Henry has gone to California on trip. He does not intend to take part in any of the midwinter games there, but wants to rest.
 ''Henrv's knee may. come around all right, but it is doing so mighty slowly. and I fear that he will be a doubtful quantity next season. says Griffith. t'The knee pains him at times and he has to be very careful of it. It may be all right by spring and I hope so, for we cannot afford to lose such a valuable player just at a time when it seems we have a good chance in the race"

ARTHUR IRWIN IS
 BUSINESS MANAGER
 OF N. Y. YANKEES

Arthur A Irwin, scout of the New York High1anders, was yesterday made business manager of the club by President Farrell. Irwin has been scout since 1908, but in his new ca pacfty he will no longer have time to devote to his former duties says the New York Press
 affairs of the New York club, both at home and abroad, just as Frank Bancroft does for the Reds and Billy Shettsline for the Phil1ies. However, Irwin will have nothing to do with the hancling of the players, as his work The clubs official announcement, made last night said:
 Irwin has been of such service to the club in numerous ways that Pres ident Farrell has invested him with full power to look after all business details of the club in the future-''
 As a scout Irwin met with fair sue cess. AS a former star ball player and manager, Irwin was possessed of much natural ability to judge budding Ray Fisher and Bert Daniels. He also put his O. K. on Charley Sterrett, and thinks he has found a second Ed Walsh in Ray Keating- This young He showed some flashes of form at the flag end of the season, but not enough to convince the fans that he is ready for major league society.
 Irwin in his day was one Of the greatest .shortstops in the game, and when at the height of his career had no superior fin covering that position. Though always 2 sensational fielder, Irwin never was strong at bat. He began playing ball in the early days oF the National League and was with ehe Worcester National league club in the early eighties

WOLGAST ROASTED JUST BEFORE HE GOT KNOCKOUT

Some interesting details of the Wo1gast-Ritchfe lightweight cham pionship battle are furnished by late mail from San Francisco It appears that it was .Wolgast's boastfu1ness and overconhdence that resulted in his un- doing. With the exception of four De- r1ods he had all the better of the bout up to the fatal round At the end of the. fifteenth Rftchie had grown weak under the battering. Wolgast was strong and exultingly boasted that he would score a knockout in the six teenth.
 As Wolgaet gathered himself for a rush he shouted to the referee and rings1ders, watch this punch, it's go- ing to be a good One.''
 Warned of what was coming Ritchie set himself, and as Wolgast rushed in wide open, hooked an inside left to the eye. The blow sent Wolgast back on his heels off balance and before he could recover his boise Ritchie crossed over the right that sent the champion turnbEng to the canvas.
 There is no doubt that he was badly dazed, and it will always remain a matter of doubt whether he struck the foul blows that followed with de1iber- ate intent If he were not known to be a foul fighter when in trouble the stain of losing in such an llnsports- manlike manner might be partly wiped out.

YALE CREW WILL
 USE ENGLISH SHELL

In closing the fall rowing season at vale a series of experiments is being made with English apparatus. For th<. first time in Yale modern boating g history an English-built shell with side zig has been sent there and is being tried. It was bought by Payne Whit rey of the Yale rowing committee on lis recent trip to England, where he investigated rowing systems and looked over shells of various makes

EINTRACHT SICK BENEFIT
 SOCIETY TO GIVE BALL IN
 EAGLES HALL NEXT MONTH

The annual ball of the Eintraeht Sick Benefit Society will be held on Jan. 2s, in Eagles hall. Announce ment that the ball will be held aS usual will be peasing to not ony the members of the organization but to the many guests who count on this as one of the notable events of the social season.
 Thanks to the efforts Of Samuel Spielman, president of the organiza- tion and chairman of the entertain ment committee, the movement to abandon the annual ball has not pro- gressed sufficiently to cause the great CT part of the membership to lose in terest. Plans for the ball are pro gressing, therefore, along the usual lines.
 MT. Spie1nan heads a committee comprising Leopold Weiss, William Winter, William Tishler, Jacob Klein berger and Nathan Glasner. These gentlemen have retained SpeidePs or cheStra to play for the dance numbers in the main hall and usual, a large Hungarian orchestra will play in the refreshment parlors. Elaborate deco ratfve schemes are under cons1dera- tion
 The Eintrac11t ball, notable for it's well ordered infornnality, has been an annual event for a number of years, attracting visitors from many cities.

R0ASTS ENGLISH
 FOR POOR LOSERS
Prominent British Critic Brands Charges Against American Olympic Athletes as
 Unjust

London, Dec. 6-P. J. Baker, former president Of the Cambridge Athletic club, in an article published, today, came strongly to the defense Of the American contenders in last summers Olympic games at Stockholm, and scathingly denounced the British writ CTS who have been crittciSing American training methods
 have been full of statements that Ann erican runners were guilty of every foul on the calendar. For months they have been urging that this noble naItion Of sporting men must retire from competition which they cannot win without staining the pure, uneul- lied virginfty of their amateurisn1. The members of the team have not been sa!fing these things because they know tEAy are untrue and unjust. But, against their will and their conviction, they are damned poor losers by these fulninationS.
 The argument 1e this: no team can win the Olympic games without training similar to that indulged in by the Americans, such training is pro- fesSional in nature and spirit. It re- duces the games to the level of com nercfal enterprises, we cannot under take It without degrading what has always been, for us, Splendidly rough and ready sport into business which is consistent without high ideals of amateurismr

DETECTIVES ON
 BRESNAHAN'S TRAIL
May Furnish Reasons Why St. Louis Club Broke
 Contract

St. Louis. Dec. 6-Roger Bresnahan has reconsidered his decision not to appear before the special meeting of the National League Board of Direc- tors in New York on Monday and has informed his attorney in St. Louis that he will leave Toledo on Saturday for New York
 Roger is going to the meeting arm ed with a bundle of evidence. and it is understood he will appear before the directors prepared to convince them that he should collect no less than $40,0oO, in addition to his 10 per cent of the profits this year from the Cardinal club. President J. C. Jones and his counsel, Lon Hooker, will ar- tend the meeting to assist Mrs Helen Britton and Manager Miller Higgins.
 Bresnahan was informed several days ago by President Lynch of the Nation al League that his case will be heard. At first Roger announced he would not attend the meeting. Since then he has been advised by baseball men that he should be present so he informed would attend.
 Fans now are interested in trying to determine on what grounds Jones and Hooker will try to invalidate Bresnahan's contract. To date only one reason has been advanced for Bres- nahan'e dismissal That was Mrs. as manager. Whether this is suffi- cient grounds for cancel1ing a highly remunerative contract such as Roger had is question.
 It is said here that Burns detec- tiyes watched Roger during the great CT part of last season, and collected evidence which may prove to be dam aging. However, Bresnahan never failed to be present on the field when a scheduled game began. He was a1- ways in command of his team on the diamond, and whether his demeanor off the field, as set down by the s.shadows'' will influence the baseball soIons in returning a vedtct favorable to the ball club, is a. question.
