FIGHTERS
 DIED DURING 1917

Numerous persons of considerable prominence in the boxing world have taken the final count in the year now drawing to a close Robert Fitzsimmons, rated by many critics as the greatest fighter. who ever drew On a glove, heads the list of those who have passed on. Les Darcy
 who came to these shores just a year ago with the reputation of being the best niddleweight of the age. died at Memphis in May after a sad ex- perience here and before he ever had an opportunity to prove his worth. Al Palzer, the first white hope'' to gain serious consideration after Jack John- son won the title, met tragic fate, but long after his pugilistic star had set. Mike Glover, a former star among the hghtweignts and welter- weights; Owen zeigler, prominent about fifteen years ago in ring circles
 and Patsy Cardiff a heavyweight of the old days. were other boxers call ed by. death. Charley White, ref cree in some of the most important contests for a quarter of century Bob Vernon, most prominent of stockholders in recent years, and Dick Roche, who managed Jack Dempsey and other boxers, also were counted out by the Great Referee.

GOVERNMENT OF
 BOLSHEvIKI IS. GROWING STRONG

London, Dec S1-The Bolshevik government is extremely efficient. energetic and decisive, though faced by noisy opposition from the priv legged classes who are doing all they can to check it by sabotage and libel, according to the Petrograd cores pondent of the Daily News. The cor respondent, who has just returned to Petrograd after long visit to Eng ly than in some months before the Bolsheviki took control. The people may not like the Bolsheviki, he de- clares, but they obey them with startling a1arcrity, and the govern ment is based on real force.
 An instance of nti-Bolshevik li- bels, the correspondent declares is the assertion that they are refusing to permit the opening of the constituent assembly. He says the Bolsheviki have nothing against the opening of the assembly as soon as a quorum can be formed by the presence of 400 delegates. Up to Friday, however, only 391 properly accredited dele gates were in Petrograd. He adds that the government has nothing to fear from an immediate converting of the assembly were that possible.
 The constituent assembly, he hears. will meet as soon as delegates from the Ukraine arrive, perhaps in 10 days He asserts that whatever is the decision of the assembly as con- stituted at present, it will not alter the essential direction of Russian policy although it might, by weaken

New York, Dec 31 - President Weeghman of the Chicago Cubs has sent hurry call for his manager, Fred Mitchell to seek his advice about parting with Pete Kilduff. The repeated offers of money to the Giants for Charley Herzog have all been sprned, and Manager McGraw's last word to Weeghman is that he will not consider a cash offer for his captain and second basernan, but will let him go if Kilduff figures in the deal and comes back to the New York club.
 Weeghman's latest plan is to get Herzog, even at the sacrifice of los ing Kilduff, to play second base, while he plans to play Larry Doyle, the former captain of the Giants at first base: Doyle has slowed up a bit, and Mitchell figures that Laughing Larry would fill the bill at first base now that the Cubs have lost all claim to Vic Safer The experience at first will not be new to Doyle, as he has covered the initial bag on more than one occasion in an emergency while member of the Giants. Fred Mer- kle is to be used as an outfielder.
 In his persistent attitude of paying out large sums of money to build up "a strong club for next season Weegh- man is taking a big gamble, and it is a question whether the optimists of the game in New York, Chicago and Boston are showing as much wisdom as the pessimists of Philadelphia and St. Louis.

GOTCH ONCE VICTIM OF STRANGLE HOLD

Although Frank Gotch never met the original "Strangler" Lewis who had not sufficiently developed to war rant a match with the champion, the Humboldt man did not escape the strangle hold. It was applied to him in a contest at Madison Square Gar den with Tom Jenkins on March 15, 1905. Jenkins won the championship from Gotch in this match and held it until May 23, 1906, when Gotch re- gained the title by beating Jenkins at Kansas City.
 While the strangle hold had been generally barred at the time of the match in this city, Jenkins began choking the champion shortly after they toak hold and there was no in- reference by the referee, the late Tim Hurst. Jenkins strangled Gotch till the champion turned over on his back in a state of collapse.
 Gotch was seriously weakened by the strangle hold, but he brayely came out for the second fall and was an easy victim. Gotch is said to have used rough tactics in the Kansas City match with Jenkins and subjected him to severe usage.
 One of the first bouts that Gotch wrestled was against a ringer"
 Gotch had become a village celeb rity and was the idol of the Hum boldt lodge of Order of Woodmen. This lodge entered Gotch in an all coners' event at picnic of the or der and confidently accepted the cha1- lenge of a mysterious stranger" from rival lodge.
 The pair took hold at the fair grounds on a plot of ground which contained layer of cinders beneath the turf. Soon the cinders were. fly ing. If Gotch was surprised with the skill of the mysterious stranger" smaller than himself but built on lines of great strength, the stranger" was more surprised at the strength of what had been described to him as a "green farmer boy" for the stranger" was none other than Dan Mcleod, then in his prime.
 Gotch eventually succumbed to Mc- Leod's science in 1 hour and Al min- utes and 46 seconds, respectively, both by half Nelsons. The next day Mo- Leod revealed his identity to Gotch and offered to supply an instructor for Frank. That instructor was Farmer Burns. To Burns Is given credit for much of Gotch's later suc- cess.
 One instance of Gotch's craft or trickery occurred in his bout against Stanislaus Zbyszko at the Coliseum in Chicago in 1910. It followed a handi- cap affair in Buffalo in which Gotch failed to throw tht Giant Pole in one hour. When Zbyszko extended his hand for the customary handshake after time was called Gotch dived be- low the proffered hand, upset the sur prised Pole and secured a toe hold, from which fall resulted in 6H sec onds. Zbyszko complained, but un- der the rules Gotch was within his rights.

HARVARD PLANS
 BIGGER SEASON FOR ATHLETICS

Cambridge, Mass. Dec. H.-Since last April. except for an informal football team. there mas been little athletics at Harvard, but a movement forward is proposed for 1918 The Athletic association is sure to give all possible aid to sport, provided the students. as in football last fall, show they want it. While there will be no effort to put athletics on before the-war basis the coming year is sure to see much more competition than the one just passing out.
 It was with the idea of keeping things moving that Fred W. Moore, graduate treasurer. recently came to an understanding with William J. Donovan. the track team coach, and Hugh Duffy. the baseball coach, and engaged them for another season. Also the rowing committee, headed by Bob Herrick. is carrying Bill 'Haines, the rowing coach. along.

NEW PLAN FOR
 DIVIDING MONEY IN WORLDS SERIES


 Chicago, Dec. 31-A new system for dividing the money derived from the annual world series baseball games was expected to be announced when B. B. Johnson, president of the American league, and August Herr mann, chairman of the national com mission, met for conference here to- day.
 Johnson and Hermann were ap- pointed at the recent joint conference here of American and National league club owners to devise a plan for dis tribution of the world series money among a larger number of teams, in the hope, it was said, of stimulating interest in the game to the end of the season.

JUNGLE SAM COMES FIRST" SAYS LEONARD

Benny Leonard, the worlds light weight champion, is going to desert the ring. This doesn't mean that the popular champion has bid the canvas ropes and bell farewell. Far from that. Simply that he's going to work his young head off whipping recruits into shape at Camp Upton. And while he's doing this work he will pay little at tcntion to the ebb and flow of the tide of the pugilistic ocean.
 Benny's announcement was as fol- lows:
 Just line to say hello. Back in good shape out here and am going to stay here. And, believe me- l won't box for 8 long time, as Uncle Sam comes first"
 Leonard is to receive $1,800 per an- mum as instructor, but that money will be turned over to the athletic fund at his camp.
