PATRONS OF MANLY ART"
Five Monarchs Of Great Britain Noted
for Their Admiration Of the
Fistic Game. = 2-

When King George V recently At
tended public exhibition of boxing
at the barracks OF the Second Life
Guards, and applauded the exhibition
Of the manly art" furnished by Bonn
barber Wells and Pat O'Keefe, as
we'll as the bouts between soldier pu-
giIists, he did not establish a royal
precedent. Every one OF the five
Georges who have ruled Great Brit
ain has been a patron of boxing and
enthusiastic In his admiration Of the
sport. George II, who assembled the
throne just two centuries ago this
year, was the first royal boxer. The
modern fistic game had its beginning
during his reign, when James Figg OF
Thame, Oxfordshire, became the first
champion of England. George l, un-
til his death, did everything in his
power to promote the boxing game.
When his son, George II, came to the
throne in 1928 he gave royal encour-
agement to the sport and took private
lessons from Broughton. The latter
is said to have invented the first
gloves" Called "muffiers"), in order
to prevent the possibility Of damage to
the royal countenance. George III
was even more enthusiastic in his ad-
miration Of boxing than his predeces-
sors. He boxed we'll, and, century
ago, he gave boxing show to cele-
brate the triumph over Napoleon, the
spectators including the rulers of Rus
STA and Prussia. An ex-champion,
Jem Belcher, was asked to form a
coronation guard of honor, composed
of boxers, when George w "a brilliant
boxer) was crowned in 1920. VIII
liam w was not interested In boxing,
and Queen Victoria is said to have
sought to stamp 1t out. Under George
v it Is apparent that boxing Ia to be
again in royal favor. The king long
ago learned how to box. -, 81.

Dorothy felt what a pang the good

But something had been troubling
Dorothy more than this, and that was
q growing doubt as to her suitability
for John. John had been the model

John had renewed his visits he seemed
to have remained uncorrupted by his

knew that she would never make q
helpmate for John. Why, she had even
had insidfous dreams of joining an art
class at the Pratt institute.
They spent that evening at mis-
sionary meeting. Dorothy sat very
soberly beside John; she hardly heard
a word Of the speakers eloquence. or
of the horrible stories told by three in
firm, aged and superannuated mission
aries, who pleaded fervently for cast
OF clothing which should replace the
loin-cloths SO immodestly worn by the
natives Of the regions from which they
had returned. She felt that she could
live her double life no longer.

retired, instructing John to stay until
eleven O'Clock and no later.
Dorothy tried to answer Tim. but, in

face in her pocket handkerchief,
