BOXING CRAZE IN ENGLAND IS A REVIVAL
 FROM A CENTURY AGO

England is described as being fairly mad about the boxing game, but this condition of affairs is by no means nothing new The scions of royalty and nobility who give their patronage to the ring game today are but emu lating their ancestors of a century ago. In fact, it was just 100 years ago tonight. on August 1, 1814 that Tom Be1cher, one of the greatest of English champions, opened the Castle Tavern in Ho1born, London, as a rendezvous for the aristocratic patrons shone brilliantly. A contemporary writer says of Be1cher's place:
 The gallant Bonfface Soon found himself doing a roaring business. His aristocratic patrons literally nobbed the house-the .bIoods, the bucks. the sporting rank and fashion soon made the jolly tavern in Holborn their headquarters. In the snuggery be hind the bar the choicest spirits of the period gathered of an evening. Persons of the highest consequence in the state might be seen iTl Tom Bel eher's parlor-royaI dukes condes- cended to visit, whilst any night you might find yourself hobnobbing with celebrities of all kinds-nob1e 'Corin- thians' seeing life, M. R.'s eager to hear the latest gossip of the ring, poets on the lookout for bruisers as heroes, artists for. subjects country gentle men up by coach, boxers looking for customers, and young Templars and surgeons for fresh means of killing time. The famous Daffy Club had it's headquarters at the Castle, and the long gas-lit clubroonn, with it's gallery of sporting pictures and portraits, was scarcely a less favorite spot with the fancy than the cosy parlor. As 8 caterer for the fancy, Tom Belcher was unriva11ed. No man knew better than mine host how to keep the ball rolling"
 Most of the great pugi1istic matches of the period were made at Belcher's tavern, and similar resorts kept by retired pugi1ists, and the making of a match was usually followed by g. ban quet at which there was more drink ing than eating. Vast sums were wagered on the result, but the boxers themselves saw little of this money, and a brufser of Belcher's day would have tainted if offered such a sum as even second-rate boxers get away with today in that same Merrie England.

President O'Rourlze of the Eastern association received a telegram from Providence today from President Cop, pen of the Colonial league stating that a pitcher named Williams had Jumped PawtEclzet and joined Bridge port. Coppen wanted the player re- turned. President ORourke immedi- ately notified Manager Boultesi to re- turn the man if he belonged to Paw tucket- This is not Ray Williams of the Bridgeport club.

 At a special meeting which was held Thursday evening in the presidents office, the East Bridgeport and Wood side clubs were dropped from the league in order to cut down expenses. It was plain to be seen two Weeks ago that something would have to be done as the league treasury was fast depicting. The East Bridgeport club was not drawing any money on the road and owing to the hoggish- ness,' of the Rosebud team they like wise lost their home grounds, the Rosebuds claiming to have an option, on WheeIerss Field, which was turned into a playing field by. the old SR Charles team and they received a yer bal permit to use the diamond from the owner of the field.
 'Pop' Moran, Ray keat1ng and few more members of the St. Charles team worked on the diamond with picks and shovels scta- their hard days work in the factory and turned the one time Wheeler's corn field into
  The inevitable has finally arrived and the East Bridgeport team like resi- dents of the upper east side,lwtn have to move to the northwest or play no ball at all.
 As for the woodsfdes, the team was just starting on a winning squirt and the league directors hate to lose Man ager Bailey but for the good of the league he had to go. The WoodSides were not drawing .on the road and as for their home grounds they had none Manager Lew Bailey was one of the truest sports that has ever held a franchise in the Park City league. He has given in to decisions of the board of directors, which I know were decidedly wrong, time and again for peace sake>and I hate to see him go. The board of directors can in no way be censured for their action of Thursday evening which were. in my opinion done for the best interests Of the league Manager Pop Moran and Lew Bailey the two nagnates that were led to the slaughter were not present at the special meeting and they are yet. to be heard from in re- gards to what action they will take in the matter.
 Now that the woodside Clowns have gone into oblivion any team in the league desiring a good catcher will do well to grab Joe Bailey. the fClowns' 5 backstop. Take it all around Joe Is as good as any backstop that has graced the roster of the Park City league this season.

Pratt of St. Louis Will Be Star Next
 Season. Says Hickey

l There's a player on the St Louis Browns who is destined to become a real star in the national pastime- probably in another year, according to Manager Rdckey-
 He is none other than Derriu Pratt, who has been second-sack1ng for the club since 1912.
 ssYou may not believe lt,'' said Ric- key ssbut Pratt will be one Of the real stars among stars in a short while It may not be this year, but watch his work in 1915.
 .tOf course, know that you will say that he Is weak on balls hit directly to him. admit that much He is getting down better for them. He plays the ball and does not wait for the ball to play him
 There Is no other second sacker in the league who can go further in any side than Pratt. And when he eets over the fault of booting balls that are hit straight at him, then look for him to develop into one Of the best second seekers yet in the American league
 This may sound funny, but mean every word of it. am on the held there watching him every day, and know that he Is improving. Then, also, he is the type Of player who IS bound to succeed ''
