OID-TINTE BOXERS WE'RE
 HARRIED BY THE. COPS

gro Gehenna with the ceps,'' was the slogan of the boxers of forty or fifty years ago, and many and shrewd were their tricks in escaping the wig i1ance of those functionaries. About
 half a century ago the British au- thorities carried on such a crusade
 against the game that many of the leading lights of pugilism, including
 such men as Jen Mace, Tom Allen,
 Joe Coburn, Joe Wormald and Ned
 Baldwin, sought pastures new in
 America. They were given a, hearty and Canada, but even in the land of
 the free the tide of public opinion
 soon turned against their game. In
 1871 Mace and Coburn were pre-
 vented by the Canadian police from
 settling an argument, but found New
 Orleans more tolerant. A little later
 Maryland, an early center of boxing in America. also put it's kibosh on the
 sport, and just forty-two years ago
 today, Aug. 13, 1872, Mace and Ned
 Baldwin, or Edward O'Ba1dwin,
 were arrested by the Baltimore cops fight in Maryland. Edward O'Ba1d-
 win, the Irish giant and a prominent
 aspirant to the Championship, had more than his share of trouble with the police on both sides of the AtIan-
 tice. He was first matched with Mace Tn 1661s Tn England but the auth or ftieS got wind of the affair, and on the
 night before the scheduled date the pebbles carted lem and his hackers away to the gaol. The Irishman was
 also bound over to keep the peace, and soon left for America. His first bout on this side was with Joe Wor-
 maid, and was pulled off in a vacant field facing a church in a. Boston slI- burb. The fans had tonTbstones for seats Before the first round was
 finished the Boston bIuecoats swarm ed down on the field and Baldwin was
 arrested and spent eighteen months behind the bars, The Irish giant had
 many more experiences with the cops,
 and came to a tragic end in 1875, when he was shot by his partner in their saloon Baldwin is buried in Brook
 line, Mass. Many later boxers have
 had much difficulty in finding a place to settle their differences. Texas
 Indian Territory, Mexico, Florida and Arkansas put their kibosh on the Cor sbett7 Fitzsimmons bout in 1896 before the battle was finally staged in to1er- ant Nevada Sullivan and KiIrain had to pull off their fight in 1889 at Richburg, Miss. because none of the centers of population would permit the session John L., and Mitchell had to go to France, and in 1896 Fitz- simmons and Maher hiked all over l the Soutfs before they finally fought at Langfry, Tex.

NEW GOLF BOOK OUT


 How to Learn to Golf' is the title of the latest book published in Spald- ing's Athletic Library Primary Ser ies, and while it is called a golf prim- CT it will not only prove to be of great servce to the beginner but also to the many thousand of golfers who are not doing themselves justice in their game, simply because they are following out many of the foolish no tions which ahflict golf and golfers to an extent not seen ir any other sport.
 The author of the book is P. A. VaiIe, who has written many interest ing and instructive books on golf and tennis, and much of the tuition in this book was regarded as absolutely rev olutionary when MT. Vane published Modern Golf in London in 1909. It has since proven to be sound in every resp
 The book contains fuu-page illus trations of how each stroke should be made to obtain the best results.
 This book will be sent to any ad- dress in the United. tSates or Can adas prepaid, upon receipt of ten cents by the publishers, American Sports Pub. Co.,. 21 Warren street, New York city.

U. s. TENNIS STARS DEFEND
 TROPHY TODAY


 The lawn tennis players of the unl- ted States and Australia began the thirteenth challenge battle for the Davis Cup on the West Side Tennis Club courts this afternoon at Forest Hills, L. I.
 The first singles this after-noo were between R. Norris Williams and An thory F. Wilding. and as they have never met in cup contest it is hard to dope the outcome. Mclaughlin ana Brookes have met twice, and each time Brookes came away victor ious. though on the second meeting at Christchurcl. New Zealand in 1911, the American gave the worlds cham pion a scare which he has not since forgotten. Brookes won at 6-4, 3-6. 4-6, 6-8, S-4.
 Brookes and W11ding spent the greater part of the day at the West Side courts.
 Bot hare in superb condition.
 They are leaving nothing to be de- sired as far as their ground shots go, but they are rather weak overhead. Brookes is a southpacw and with as peculiar 8. service as has ever been seen on this side of the water.
 As he throws up the ball his body begins to twist into the court, and it is not easy for the eye to judge wheth- CT or not the movement could be call ed a foot fault. Wi1ding stands full yard back of the service line and drives after the ball.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1sss.-Joy reigned in the sporting world on this date. for it was an .noursced that John [. Sullivan, afser having persistenly refused to fight lake Kflrain, had at last decided to do so. and that a syndicate of fight fans had agreed to back him to the extent of $1e,o0o. This startling news was followed quickly by cable from Paris which stated that Jake's bro kers has put up 5000 to match their man against Sullivan for the belt and the championship of the world. Kill rain then held the belt, which had been presented, to him at Baltimore 9 year before, after every effort had been made to match him with John T.. Kilrain then went to England, where he fought 106 rounds with Jem Smith. the English champion. Jake had all the best Of it, but he could not stop Jenn, and the fight was called draw. After the ann ouncenaent of the SuI- asn-KIlrain match. much pickering folioWed, Tt3lit fn December final agreement was reached. and in July of 1889 John L. whipped Kilrain in 75-round battle thae was the last bare -knuclkIes fight in America, and was pulled off at sRichburg, Miss.

MAJOR STODDARD MAY BE LEADER OF
 U. s. POLO TEAM

According to gossip current in polo circles. Major Louis B. Stoddard of New Haven will be chosen captain of the American team for 1915. stod- dard is now a member of the Coqp- erstown four. It is understood that neither of the iWaterburys will play next year and with them out of the game Steddard would be about the best man for the position. He plays polo of the international variety and in the bargain has the qualities of a. capable leader.
 There is possibility, of course, that the present war may prevent the resumption of polo activities between England and America.
