tiva, constructed by the New Jersey

JAM rs WATSON DEAD
Noted Sporting Authority and Judge

Philadelphia March 10.--James

denly, on Monday Mr.. Watson, who
was 63 years old, had been in failing
health for the last few years. Last

was anticipated that Mr.. Watson would
recover. His condition did improve
for time, but sudden relapse, Mon
day, ended in the death of one OF the
best posted writer's upon sports.
Mr.. Watson was born in England
of Scotch parents. He came to this

country in 1880. He at once became
identified with sports here and became
sporting editor of "The Press" of this
city. He was one of the first Judges
Of Whippet races and was the official
timer at the Gloucester race track, and
the first secretary of the National AS
sociation of Amateur Oarsmen.
After leaving Philadelphia, Mr.. Wat
son wrote for New York papers on
sporting topics. He was we'll versed in
the technique of all outdoor sports,
but made a speciality of dogs and in
this line he had few peers.
Mr.. Watson wrote several books on
dogs. His most comprehensive effort in
this line was a subscription edition of
twenty-five volumes, which included all
breeds. For the last fifteen years he
has devoted all his time to writing and
acting as Judge at the dog shows at
Philadelphia, Boston and New York.

Berlin Was Ready for the Games

The cancellation of the Berlin fran
chise to hold the Olympic games in
1916 will be peculiarly humiliating to
the German capital, since as early as
the summer of 1913 the German COM
mittee had not only worked out all
plans for the games, but had completed
the superb stadium, one of the most
magnificent ever devised, with all its
approaches and accessories, with inns
and restaurants, while the city of Ber-
lin had extended it's subway system
and had enlarged the suburban rail
road accommodations in the way of
station and traekage to accommodate
the expected rush of visitors.
