at 1000 meters, was won by the
Frenchman, but Kramer came back
and took the 1900 and 2,000-metel
heats in an impressive manner, much
to the disappointment of the big audi
ence, who were hopeful of a French
victory following F'riors good show
ing in the first heat.
Kramer is Friol's master. of that
there is no doubt, and 1t was over
confidence on the part of the Yankee
title-holder that caused his defeat in
the first heat Next Sunday Kramer
will meet Joe Van Bever, the sprint
champion of Belgium, at the new

to Frank Million and Floyd MacFar-

to bring the championships to
America, and enlisted the support of
the French body, but the other Euro
pean countries were lined up strong
against them.

Fighters Who lived Long.
But want to show how long some
of the great battlers of fistiana en-
joyed life in this queer world of ours.
There was Jem Ward, eighty-two
years of age when he passed in, and
many hard bare knuclSle encounter
he fought and won. Jem Mace, an
other old English champion, was eigh-
ty when he threw up the sponge to
old Father Time. Tom Oliver was sew
enty-fiye when he got the last K. o.
Bendigo quit this life at sixty eight.
Tom Crib was siXty-seyen when he
passeG in. Tom Owens was seventy
five. Dooney Harris was about the
same age. Old Uncle Bill Tovee was
eighty-two when called away. Bar
ney Aaron was sixty-eight. Tom AL
len died in st. Louis at sixty-six.
Billy Edwards passed away in Brook
lyn at sixty three. Patsy Sheppard
was sixty-five. Bill Hastings ("Dub-
lin Tricks") was past seventy. Pro-
fessor. Billy Ben. of Brooklyn, who
fought Yankee Sullivan, was also
past seventy-five when counted out.
Fiddler Neary was seventy Bill
Clark passed away at st. Louis at
eighty-four.
Tom Hyer, John Morrissey, Joe Co
burn and Sam Collyer lived. to be old
men. There's Professor Mike Dono-
van, boxing away every day at the
ageNof siXty-eight at the New York
A. c., where he is the fistic instructor.
Arthur Chambers Is still alive over in
Philadelphia. Jim Dunn at the age
of seventy four. still plays handball
in Brooklyn. Pretty good showing for
the old boxing game.
High Livers Who Passed On.
OF course, l admit that many fistic
stars have departed this life before
their time, but they were men who
went the limit. Among them was
John c. Heenan, Johnny Dwyer, both
/ victims of consumption; George
Dixon, who wrecked himself by dis
sipation; Charley Norton, of Newark,
N. j.; Gus Rubin, Buffalo Costello,
| Turnbull, Jack Hopper Mike Clearly,
Peter Jackson, Jim Hall, Joe God
| dard, Johnny Griffin. Frank White,
! Ike Weir. the Belfast Spider; Joe
| Cans and some other I cannot at
| present recall.
| Don't Fight So Often.
Don't try to train or fight too often,
boys, and do not lay off too long. Be
moderate in both. Fighters have more
temptations thrown in their paths
than any other class of people in the
world A champion or a star ring
man has always host of admiring
followers who smother, him with
flattery and try and lead him into
the gay white lights. Beware of these
| friends" If you want to finish at the
top of your class, boys They are. in
deed, very dangerous to any boxer.

YANKEE SHELLS FOR YALE
CREWS IN THE FUTURE

until last year that the British boats
and rigging were both adopted. That
the foreign method was unsatisfac-
tory is well established.
The English shells will be rugged
over for practise use. The decision
10 use the American type of boats
and rigging was made several weeks
ago at a meeting of the rowing COM
mittee, after introduction of the three
coaches, Guy Nickalls, the former
Leander coach; Gene Giannini, of the
New York A. c., and Richard Arm
strong, Yale 's5. All three of the
coaches are admirers of the Bob
COOK style of stroke, and it would
not be surprising to find that the new
Yale stroke is based upon the type
which gave the New Haven sweep
swingers the best results.

NEW WESTERN GOLF RATING

John ]. McDermott, national open
champion in 1911 and 1872 has been
forced to give up his annual trip
through the South this year. The
former champion has been ill since
last fall, when his nerves gave way,
but thought a few weeks ago that he
had recovered his health sufficiently
to plan his annual tour of the South
ern courses.
| He intended to become one of the
| party that Tom Mcnamara, of Bos-
ton, is conducting through the South
at present, but has decided that his
health is still too poor to make it adj
visable for him to go. Mcnamara
and NJ. j. Brady left early last week
| and last Thursday played at Pine
hurst.
Lately McDer'mott has been trying
his hand at golf, but has found that
he is still unable to play with his
usual skill, and he has determined
that the best thing he can do is to
rest until he has fully recovered. He
probably will spend the remainder of
the winter at his home in Atlantic
| City.
