feated Chester. 10 I. and held them
10 four scattered hits

Kay. third base: Pierson, shortstop;
ONeil, left field: Hanley or Blair,
center field; Crawford or McGuigan,

Boxing Was First Introduced
in EnqIand Two Centuries Ago

and the Scandinavians and the Rus
SLAMS know little of the game.
In Africa the British and the
French have carried their love for
the fistic art with them. and South
Africa is a hotbed of pugilistic fervor,
the Beers being little behind the Eng
lish and Irish in their admiration for
the sport. In India and Japan,
wrestling is still and probably al
ways will be the favorite sport. al
though both countries have developed
a few clever native scrappers.
1t is unnecessary to state that Aus
tria and New Zealand have been hos
pitable to boxing. From the begin
ming of the British settlement Of that
part of the world boxing has flourish
ed in the Antipodes, and some OF the
classiest Of the fighters of the last 80
years have hailed from the Antipodes.
South Americans are the latest to
take up boxing. and the big pugilistic
tournament to be held in Buenos
Ayres next month will probably give
the game a great impetus in Argen-
tina and Chile. A South American
champion is among the possibilities
of the future. For that matter we
have already had one, as Joe Wal

holder. was born on the northern
coast Of South America, in British

Three years hence. in 1919. the
fans Of the world may pull of
bicentenary of boxing as II was in
1913 that James Figg introduced the
modern puglistic game in England.
II was not until the sixth OF June,
1927. that Figg's supremacy was put
to the test i'm a real championship
battle. with Ned Sutton as his op-
ponent. but the Father of Boxing"
was recognized as champion from
1913.
Modern boxing. as introduced in
England by Figg. was a revival of the
ancient sport of the Greeks and Ro-
mans. who fought with metal
"knucks, and often killed each
other From the downfall Of Rome
until the days of Figg the manly
art" was unknown, and men settled
their arguments with swords, daggers
or clubs. Boxing was the product of
civilization. and it has never flour
ished except in civilized communities.
When the ancient civilization col
lapsed boxing went down with it. and
when modern civilization emerged from
the dark ages, boxing also emerged.
Let the foes of boxing put that in
their pipes and smoke IT,
For a century the boxing game was
confined to England, Scotland and
ireland, and the American colonies Of
Britain. Fist fighting OF a sort was
practiced in America in the latter part
OF the eighteenth century. but it was
not until a century ago, in 1916. that
the first regular ring fight was staged
on this side of the Atlantic.
The bicentenary of boxing will find
the game flourishing in many ooun-
tries besides that of its origin. The
United States and Canada long ago
embraced il as one of the most popu-
lar of sports. Within the last dec
ade the glove game has attained gem
/ eral popularity in France, and, al
though the war has interfered with
the pugilistic enthusiasm, there is
every reason to believe that at the
end of the conflict there will be a
great revival Of interest in the ring
especially if Carpenter survives and
is able to resume his career. In the
other countries of continental Europe
boxing has made little progress. The
Italians were beginning to sit up ant
take notice of the ring pastime wher
the war came. and Italy may yet be
come a hotbed of pugilism. Although
Broughton, the second English cham
pion, introduced boxing into Ger
many a century and a half ago. the
TeutOns did not take to IT, and tn,
game is still practically unknown il
either Germany or Austria. The Bel
gians have for some years looked
upon boxing with favor, but the Dutcl
