IN THE SPORT WORLD

saved Kramer and Dupuy from losing a lap.
 During the jam Kramer and Dupuy were hard pressed, and the terrific pace was such strain that they were plainly weakening. Kramer hasn't been able to sleep, and his face is pale and drawn. There is lot of gossip around the riders camps that there is combination among the riders to monopolize all the points in the sprints between four teams. It is said that in the combine are the McNamara- Ma gin Madden -Corry, Grenda-Hill and Law rence-HanIey teams. They have cap tured nearly all of the points in the sprints. The fact that these teams do their best riding when some of the out side teams try to get first place in the sprints leads many to believe that the riders are trying to make the sprinting an exclusive affair.
 At a. m. the S0th hour, the eight leading teams had cycled 1,400 miles, six laps. Three teams were one lap behind and two teams were two laps behind the leaders. The record for the SOth hour is 1,6O4 miles, six laps, i made by Goullett and Brenda in 1914.

ROBERTSON AGAIN
 BALKED BY WAR

New York, Dec. 5-Lawson Robert son, who was commissioned lieuten- ant in the Sanitary Corps last sum mer to look after the physical devel- opment of army aviators, has found himself baked again by the war.
 Lawson, who Is at the Garden City aviation field waiting to get his dis charge from the service, was in no amiable frame of mind yesterday, when he recounted how the Kaiser and the war had blocked him time after time.
 When war was declared in 1914, Robertson, then coach of the Irish American A. G.. was on the point of sailing for Austria to assume charge of the athletic instruction of the Aus l trian army. At that time Dr. Alvin Kraenstein held a similar position in Germany and Al Copeland was trainer of athletics in Hungary. Robertson had sold his household effects and had his ticket purchased, ready to leave | for Europe, when the war came and Austrian government.
 Early in 1917 Robertson was en. gagged to coach at the UniE&rsity o1 i Pennsylvania and was in a fair way i of developing a championship team when the United States declared wal and intercollegiate athletics came tc | a sudden end.
 After year and a half Robertson accepted a comission in the Sanitar! Corps after having been recommend ed to the post by Walter Camp. Ht
 was appointed to take a training
 course at Garden City and had beer there only two weeks when German!
 showed signs of cracking. Within
 another few weeks the armistice wa signed and once more the war hat
 stepped in between Roebertson and hi | plans.
 Now he intends to return to Penn sylvania just as soon as he has beel 1 mustered out and will immediatel, l begin to build up a team for tn
 coming athletic meets which are sur l to be held

WAR PRISONERS LIKE SIBERIA

Peking, Dec. About 200 war prisoners from Siberia are enjoying life in the enemy internment camp near the summer palace here. So pleased are they with their environ ment that some of them have written letters to their friends inviting them to come to China and enjoy its hos pitality.
 At first these sojourners claimed that they were Italians eager to re- turn to Italy but when an attempt was made to ship them on an Italian transport for Italy they refused to go and asserted they were Austrians. The Chinese authorities have exam ined them and all have claimed to be soldiers thus preventing the Chinese from setting them free and compell- ing them to work for a living.

THE FIRST LUNATIC ASYLUM.

The first lunatic asylum in Eng land was founded S71 years ago to- day. This institution, called Bethle- hem, was the first of it's kind in Eur ope, with the exception of one at Granada, Spain. For two centuries the unfortunate patients in this and later similar hospitals were treated
 with cruel severity. It was long held that the insane were afflicted with devils as punishment for their sins, and they were subjected to ev- cry indignity that superstitious fer ocity could imagine. Until TITO the inmates of Bethlehem were exhibited as a show, an admission fee of one and two pence being charged. In 1792 more enlightened methods of treating the mentally i'll were intro duced by Pinol. at the Bicetre in Paris, and by William Tuke, Quak- CT physician, in England A little later Esquirol a French physician
 added greatly to the knowledge of mental ailments. In 1915 all Eng land was shocked by the exposure of enormous cruelty and unmentionable

DOBEE TO STAY
 AT ANNAPOLIS

Annapolis, Md. Dec. 5.---Gilmour IC'bie, who has coached the Naval Academy football teams successfully for the past two seasons, will return in the same capacity: next year. Two years ago he came here from the University of Washington, under an agreement which called for one year work. Prior to the present season he signed a contract with the Naval Ath- letic Association calling for two more years here.
 His work has been pleasing to every one here, and there has been regret that he has not had the opportunity of meeting more worthy opponents.
 A big effort will be made to renew the games with the Military Academy next season and to secure other op- ponents for the midshipmen of a character worthy of the eleven Dobie has produced MT. Dobie has taken up his residence in Baltimore.

TOBACCO RELEASED
 IN BULGARIA.

Saloniki, Dec. 5-The opening up of Bulgaria to the Allies has caused the release of $6,O0O,OOO worth of American-owned tobacco in the towns of Seres, Drama and Kavalla on the Greek coast of the Aegean Sea bor- dering Turkey, occupied by the Bull gars until their surrender. The transportation of this supply may materially affect the shortage in high-grade tobacco.
 Since the beginning of the war huge new acreages in Greek Macedo- mia have become the principal tobac- co source of Europe. The Greek crop has increased 75 per cent. dur ing the war. The labor comes main ly from skilled Turkish growers who escaped from Smyrna and European Turkey to produce tobacco in Greece for Entente armies.

KID LAVIGNE, KING
 OF IIGHTWEIGHTS

Kid Lavigne's first battle as light weight was with Andrew Bowen, Who claimed the championship of the South, and was pulled off in New Or leans. The battle ended in a trag- edy. Bowen was entirely outclassed, but gave to the last breath, and he withstood the Saginaw Kids assaults until the eighteenth round, when he dropped like log. His head struck heavily, inflicting injuries from which he died. Lavigne was charged with manslaughter, and was acquitted only after his savings had been dissipated among the lawyers. Bowen's death was a great shock to Iavigne, and for a time he considered leaving the ring. In little while, however, he recov- cred his nerve, and to such a remark able extent as to make a match with Joe Walcott, the Black Demon of Barbados.
 The colored fighter was then at the height of his career, and had chal- lenged Ryan for the welterweight title, and had even offered to take on Tom Sharkey and other heavy weights. Walcott was thought to be invincible and Lavigne's challenge excited the disabilities of the fight fans. The battle was one of the most | ferocious ever witnessed undeM the i Queensberry- rules.
 | Walcott was forced to make 13E | pounds, under the agreement, and | this naturally weakened him some. what When the Demon" entered | the ring at Maspoth, Long Island, N
 Y, his face was drawn and gray while the French-Canadian was in the
 pink of condition. The negro was {
 five to one favorite, and there wa! little Lavigne money in sight. Ref

first ten rounds the fortunes of battle favored first one and then the other, but the last five rounds of the fifteen were Lavigne's by a wide margin, and he was given the decision.
 This first bout between Lavigne and Walcott has become a classic of the prize ring. As an evidence of the ferocity with which they battled, it may be said that both men were con- fined to their beds for days afterward. In 1897 Lavigne again defeated Wal colt, this time in San Francisco, but was forced to undergo terrible pun ishment that put him on the skids and doubtless had much to do with his decline and loss of the lightweight championship. (Tomorrows article will deal with Lavigne's career as lightweight title holder.)

SPORTING NOTES

Kid Williams, the popular Baltimore boxer, will be out of the ring for sev- eral weeks. Williams has just recov- cred from an attack of pneumonia which followed on the influenza. The Baltimore fighter was stricken during the height of the epidemic and for a time 1t was not believed that he would survive. He is rapidly regaining his strength, however and before long will begin light training for future contests. Because of his illness Kid Williams was unable to take part in any of the recent boxing contests for the war workers.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-12-05

It is interesting to note that as a result of the boxing shows held throughout the country for the benefit of the recent War Work campaign
 $55 000 was collected for the fund. The principal boxing events in this connection were held in New York,
 San Francisco, Boston, Bridgeport
 and Wilmington. New York collect ed S34,000 from the contests held in
 Madison Square Garden, while San i Francisco was second with $13,00O. The results speak mighty well for the l boxing game and its followers, even if
 the Wilmington Committee refused tC accept the $3,000 collected by the | fight fans of the DeleWare city. This committee, incidentally, deserves al, | the roasting it has received from | the fans and in the public prints.
