British deyotees OF soccer. boxing
and other sports have lately come In
for much criticism because they have
persisted in INDUCING in their favorite
pastimes while the nation is in dan.
ger. While many Of the leading box.
ers of England have enlisted, the
game still flourishes more or less. It
was always thus, for British love Of
sport is mighty hard to eradicate.
History affords a noteworthy instance,
for when Napoleon was threatening
to invade England, Just as the Ger.
mans are now doing. the sportsmen
OF the tight little island refused to
abandon their pastimes.
1t was Just ITO years ago, come to-
morrow, on February 20, 1906, that
King George III, frightened to the
depths of his Teuton soul by the
threats of Bonaparte, called upon all
his subjects to fast and pray, in or.
der that the Lord might look with
favor upon them. The old monarch
spent most Of his time on his knees,
begging the Almighty to stay the in.
yasion OF his realms. The masses of
the English people, while vigorously
preparing TO resist the enemy, winch
had already raided the mouth Of the
Bristol channel and captured a mum.
Der Of British merchant ships, were
not inclined to follow the Kings ad-
vice that they abandon all sports and
amusements.
On the day OF the solemn fast ap-
pointed by the King, the Lords and
Commons listened to sermons, be-
cause they had to. and two alder
men accompanied the Lord Mayor to
the services at st. Paul's. Very few
males attended the meetings held in
chapels all over the kingdom, n
the King became SO indignant that he
declared war upon all sports, but es.
pecially prize-ighting.
The very day appointed by King
George for fasting witnessed many
private pugilistic bouts and meetings
Of c%onvivial souls to arrange for other
matches. The laws against irreligion
were so severe that these meetings
had to be hedged about with secrecy.
One OF these sessions OF; sporting men
was held in the upstairs rooms or:the
Jolly Brewers" a place of liquid re.
freshment then kept by Jem Belcher,
the former champion, who had been
forced to retire from the ring by the
loss Of one Of his eyes. Among the
boxing bugs who thus did violence to
the Kings wishes were many notables
including Lord Sage and Sele, Lord
Eardley, Sir Harry vane Tempest, and
