But the Canadian offlcia1s are expert ad- rertisers and the way they gave pub 1icity to their advantages and glossed- over their disadvantages was a lesson that any press agent might study with profit

HOW TOM SPRING
 WAS NAMED 97
 YEARS AGO TONIGHT

In the roll of heavyweight champions of England the name of Tom Spring is written large. The real name of this great fighter was Thomas Winter a4ld he gained the name of Spring just ninety-seven years ago tonight.August 15, 1877. The christening of the fu- ture champion took place at the Elves Court in London, on the occasion of 8 benefit for the veteran, John Hudson. Winter who was the son of a butcher ir Herefordshire had just arrived Tn the metropolis, and was under the wing of Tom Cribb. then champion. The youth was described by a. reporter present on that festive occasion as s.singularly quiet and demure. his face having the freshness of the rustic rose. He was nearly six feet high, had 8 graceful carriage, and, so far as one muscular strength Many of the sporting lords of Lunnon were present and anxious to see a fight. Jack Stringer,a b1rly Yorkshireman, offered to, ob1ige, if he could find an opponent and the youthful Winter stepped for ward and peeled his coat. Cool as a veteran, winter stopped his rushing anta agonist, and soon put him out. The enthusiastic fans demanded the name of the youngster and when informed that it was Winter, a sport cried out
 Hes too fresh and young to be called Winter. Name him Spring And ever after he was Tom Spring to the fans, and so appears in the records
 His biograpIher says of him: .tHe was sober and industrious; in fact. had but one weakness, and that leaned to vir- tues side. Tom was desperately fond of the ladies. It was. however. not so much his own fault, for, to tell the truth, he was as much sought after as seeking" His first battle was fought as the result of a quarrel over a fair maiden. During the Hereford fair Tom danced with a pretty girl oftener. than was pleasing to her escort, and they came to blows. George Cooper and Sam Robinson, professional pugil- ists, were present, and they induced the conbatants to postpone th@ir quar-
 rel until the next day, ana fight it out in their boxing booth. Spring woN, an easy victory and later went up to London, where Tom Cribb took him in charge. When he was only twenty one Tom eIoped with the daughter of a wealthy wine merchant. In his early
 battles Spring defeated Jack Stringer and Ned Painter but was whipped by the latter in a second bout. Painter retired, and Spring became champion. He retired undefeated and, as Tom of Hereford was innTnorta1ized by the great English author, George Borrow For the first seven months of 1914
