LEDOUX'S DEATH SAD
 BLOW TO FIGHT FANS

Boxing news is very scarce from across the big pond these days and the following letter from my core spondent. MT. Dyer, will no doubt prove interesting He says: sAThe Ma tional Sporting club has started it's weekly shows, despite the war, but nothing in the way of big matches have been staged as yet Your Mill waukee we1terweight champion, An ton the Greek, who succeeded in get ting out of Greece and back here, had a hard bout the other night at the Elton, a boy weighing 155 pounds. An ton weighed about 146. It was<a ter rife struggle all through the twenty rounds and ended evens
 Anton was not in as good shape as Elton, but he put up a remarkably good battle, so good that he was again matched by the club for a ten round bout with a good welterweight whom the matchmaker did not name as yet. I understand, however, that it will be Corporal Hall. He is also matched to box twenty rounds with Nat Will Hams. the weIterweight who recently returned from Australia After these bouts he intends to return to America He is fine young fellow and has made many friends here Reports were received here about the White and Welsh match. but they differ and no one seems to know just what the verdict was. White must be good to hold Welsh that way. We all felt very sorry to hear about Charlie Ledoux, the European champion ban tam, being killed at the front.
 He was a great fighter and had in tended going to America this winter to meet Kid Williams for the title. Georges Carpenter was not injured as far as can learn. He is with the aviation corps, but has not seen any real active service in the field. Adrien Hogan, the French welterweight, was badly wounded at Verdun and Eugene Stuber, who had just returned from Australia, was killed at the same place. There is no sport of any kind in Paris and very little here, except boxing and football

 DON FIGHT PROMOTER

Dick Burge, the once celebrated English lightweight boxer, will begin his fiftieth year tomorrow, having been born Dec. 19, 1865. To Alneri- can fight fans, B41rge is chiefly. re- membered as the vanquished party in a memorable conflict with Kid L@vigne, the wonderful little French Canadian Dick is still prominent in British boxing affairs. having for many years been engaged as a fight promoter in London. A number of the great scraps staged in the worlds metropolis in recent years were under Burgess auspices.
 Burge became g. member of the f1s- tic profession in 1888, and in 1891 he got into the Emehght by whipping was the chap who came across the pond in 1887 and fought Jack Me- Au1iffe for the worlds ightw ght title and $4,50O a side. They fought seventy~four rounds at Revere, Mass, the Englishman having the better Of the argument most of the day. Sports who had backed McAuliffe broke into the ring and ended the fight, which was called a draw.
 After defeating Carney, Burge be- gan issuing challenges to .McAuIiffe to do battle for the lightweight title, but Jack didn't manifest any keen desire to meet the conquerer of Carney. It

McAuliffe had refused to meet Burge because the latter wouldn't and couldn't make the light weight limit, and Dick was even big ger and heavier when Kid Javigne, who had succeeded McAu1iffe as American champion, consented to meet him.
 Burge stood five feet seven and a half, and was almost a, middIeweight, when he faced the cheru bic little Lavigne in the ring Of the National Sporting Club in London on the first of June, 1896. The Kid was four inches shorter than Burge, and weigh ed only 133 pounds. It was a case or giant pitted against a pygmy, and for a. time 1t looked as if the giant would win. Lavigne absorbed several terrific blows, but in the seventeenth chapter he toppfed the giant for the full count, and became the undis- puted lightweight champion of the world. Several American sports won pot Of coin on the fight, for Burgess friends offered five to one against the French Burge and Iavigne became firm friends, and for years carried on regular corresp pondence.

BROOKE MAY
 STAY AT PENN
 TO COACH TEAM

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 1S.-Wharton Sink1er, end on Penn's 1904 football team, which defeated Harvard, is to be the new chairman of the football committee This was hinted around the university Wednesday afternoon, after the newly elected board of direc- tons of the athletic association met and named the members of the vari- ot1s committees.
 The question of head coach for next years team will be taken up at the meeting of the committee. Bus mess of the last season was discussed and the session was quite lengthy. Many plans were made for next year. The Brooke question was not taken up. It is likely that Brooke will be the advisory coach and will just see over the other coaches that they carry out their work. Dickson will probably have full charge of the football play CTS next season.
 Bill Hollenback, the old Penn star and coach at Penn State. has been questioned about aiding in the coach ing at Penn next fall, but nothing definite has yet been arrived at. He has been seen out at Penn a great deal lately.

He will go to his home in Fall River and rest until after the Christ mas holidays, when he will once again return to Harvard to resume his col- 1ege work.
 Enwright was stricken suddenly with appendicitis 10 days ago, and was operated on by pr. D. 1T. Nichols, the Harvard football squads physician.
 Enwrfght will probably be kept out Of spring sports at Harvard, because of the operation, however, in order that he may not have to risk injury that would bar him from his more inn- portant work on the varsity football team when he becomes eligible.
 He Is a first class baseball man, GOV ering shortstop and hitting around 300, and would make a strong-man player for the freshman baseball team. but the physicians favor his withdrawal from all sports this spring as a. mat ter of precai1tion.

BOXING NOTES

While there has been much printed. in the papers about a match between Welsh or Mike Gibbons, nothing has resulted from all the talk and it seems impossible to get them together or owing to the weight barrier in each case Why not match MT. Packey and Charlie White for the championship of Chicago and be done with it. Packey has stated that he will make 136 at 3 o'clock for Welsh. but there has been nothing doing. Now if if PacEey will maKe that for the champies, why not make the same weight for White, who also claims to be a champion at 133 ringside. Nate Lewis has not stated that he would match up White against HGc- F'ar1and: in fact, he would be inclined to pass it ups but recently Charlie White made It plain to me that he would not back out of a match with Mcfarland in case an offer was made, providing Packey would do that brought together it would be some scrap and no mistake and every Chi cago fan would be there to cheer their favorite. In the meantime White is being kept busy and has been match ed up for four battles within q short space of time, meeting boys of the second rating, which will keep him
 
 Sammy Langford, the Boston Tar Baby, is still there with the wallop as Harry Wills, the latest colored aspirant for Heavyweight honorsy can attest. Willis has made a great rec ord on the coast of late ana has put up some good battles, but he tackled one just a bit too classy when he went against Samuel. Wills scored knock downs and 1t looked for time as though the veteran of many hard bat ties was about to take the count, but when Harry saw Samuel toeing the scratch each time for more he began to lose heart and that was his finish for in tbs fourteenth round the tar man put over one of his famous sleep producers and it was stars for Harry. At that Wills must be a good one and a return battle may be arranged

Sporting Editor:-
 As a lover of clean sport, and an ardent rooters of the King Pin A. c. team. I want to take an exception to the brief article appearing in Wednes- day evenings Issue of your valuable paper, in which it states, relating to the King Pin-Mohican game of last Sunday, that referees have no right to think but are supposed to know
 This is a yelled insult to MT. Ma honey, who refereed the game. On the play in question the referee blew his whistle when three King Pin play CTS were about to bear the Mohican man to the ground who was running with the ball While falling, the lat ter let the ball slip and a King Pin man raced down the field for a score. T was one of the many who disagreed with Referee Mahoney at the time, but was able to get a. rules book in a few minutes and here is the referees version:

 Another Yale football star to come to the rescue of Coach Frank Hinkey is Sam Morse, captain of the f1S06 elev- en. He resents the attacks made up on Hinkey by Willard Luther and oth- CT Yale graduates.
 Morse sails attention to the fact that in 1886 when the new rules were first adopted, the Yale eleven had poor prospects. Yet owing to the rare judgment of Hdnkey and Walter Camp, the team went through the season. uIl- defeated. That year. Morse sent to California to have Hinkey come east. Morse declares, ''there is no man in the United States who has more foot ball sense and good judgment com bined with unbeatable spirit than he has.
