ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1904--Tom Allen, ex-heavyweight champion of America, died in St Louis Allen was born. in Birning- ham. England, in the April of 1840, and started his ring career at the age of 21 Before coming to America in 1887 he had taken part in many en- agreements, including a desperate drawn battle with Joe Goss. His first bout on this side of the Atlantic was with BiI1 Davis, the Californian, who then claimed the title. Allen whip ped him in 43 rounds at St Louis, and was recognized as American cham pion. Allen was then whipped by Charlie Gallagher, of Cleveland. and he was defrauded of victory in about with Mike McCoole and a subsequent contest with Gallagher. Allen then fought Jem Mace for the worlds title, and lost, but recovered the American title by giving Mike McCoo1e a terri b1e<beating at St Louis in 1873. Tom held on to the honors for three years, when he lost on a foul to Joe Goss, whom he had fought in England. AL Is1en quit the ring and settled in St. Louis,s where he died at the age of 64.

PRIZE FIGHTING

The story of the big Joznson-WIl- lard fight in Havana is read by many millions of people It is a battle of science against science. People with liking for sporting competitions are interested to hear about it as a con test of wits and strategy.
 While that remains true, the gener- al sentiment of the country is against prize fighting There are few local ities within our states where such d contest can legally be held. still fewer where it would not encounter earnest protest.
 The reason for this feeling is no doubt that the American people are chiefly interested in contests Of pure skill. The normal mind likes to see sport fn competitions in which physi- ica1 strain is not pushed to the limit of endurance. The esupremacy of baseball is due to the fact that head work and science are encouraged to the limit The player is not asked to suffer physical pain. and endure pun ishnent to the point of collapse.
 If a battered bruiser is to endure to the 45th round, it becomes too much of a question of flesh against flesh The mental element is sub ordinated to mere beef.

PRINZ ElTEL SHIPS
 INSURANCE POLICY OF 5O,OOO BOTTLES
Takes on Cargo of Beer English Will Never Try
 to Sink Such a Vessel.

Norfolk, April 5-It used to be, when a desperate crew of a desperate ship loaded supplies before going to sea, they sang s'Yo, ho, ho, and 8 bot tle of run!'' And down into the hold under the inspiration of that cheerful ballad, were lowered ominous little casks and square shouldered black bottles.
 But times have changed In the case of the Prinz EiteI Friedrich, that German rover of the sea which is lying up at Norfolk, after having sent to Davy Jones locker many another good ship. it's .Yo, ho, ho, and 50,0oO bottles of Deer!''
 That's what the Eftel was taking aboard yesterday, according to the faithful despatches. She has a. crew of 500. A little sum in division will readily show that each jolly tar of the EtteI will be entitled to 1O0Tbott1es.
 Secretary Of the Navy Daniels, who last year ordered that no American war vessel might have as much as a drop of liquor aboard, was said to have gasped when he heard 50,000 bottles of beer were being put on the German cruiser as part of the stsups
 plies sufficient to reach the, nearest German port But the rules of war say nothing about beer, so he couldn't very well refuse permission to have the hops put in the EitePs hold. It may turn out to be a sort of an insurance policy this big cargo o1 brew. Plenty of able American sea- | men asserted yesterday that no Brit ish ship would sink vessel contain ing that much good cheer. No Eng 1 fish tar would, have the heart to send such 8 cargo of happiness to the bot tom. They'd endeavor to capture the Prinz Eitel Friedrich without break ing a single bottle.
 Another suggestion was that the | EiteI was taking a desperate chance in slowing away the bottled stuff. For, presuming she did run the
 gauntlet of the allied warships wait ing for her outside the three-mi1e I limit, off the Virginia coast, all the allies would have to do would be to follow the trail of empty bottles in the EiteFs wake.
 Anyhow, whether she is captured or sunk, or makes clean getaway, fl looks as if the 500 jolly tars aboard
 are going to have a good time.
