DICK PURGE
 DIED AS A SOLDIER

The late Private Richard Burge, of the First Surrey Rifles, never was g. quitter, and despite the fact that he was at the half century mark he en- listed and died the death of soldier. Today is the 53rd anniversary of the birth of the man who was once the lightweight champion of England, and who was born Dec. 19, 1865.
 Dick Burge was name we'll known to the fight fans on both sides of the Atlantic 20 years or So ago, chiefly be- cause of his remarkable battle with Kid Lavigne for the lightweight championship of the world. Dick, who died few months ago, was sev- eral inches taller than the Saginaw Kid, and he had 8 considerable ad- vantage in weight, but much to his surprise and that of the English fans he was knocked out in the 17th round. He gave 8 good account of himself before he fell, however, and there were times when the Kid had reason to fear that he had taken on too good a man. After Burge quit the ring he became a fight promoter. That was in 1900. He enlisted as a volunteer in the British army in 1915 and served with the colors for three years.

CHICAGO ROSTER FOR NEXT SEASON
 IS ANNOUNCED

Chicago, Dec. 18-The roster for the coming season of the Chicago National League team has been so far completed that it was said today at the clubs headquarters, Manager Mitchell would probably enter the pennant race with the same players he had at the close of last season, with the addition of Grover .Cleve- land Alexander, star pitcher.
 Thirteen of the Cub players now are in the United States service, but the management expects that nearly all of them will be discharged before the opening of the baseball season.
 Unless Manager Mitchell makes some trades, it was said, the lineup at the start is likely to be:
 Alexander, pitcher; Killifer, catch CT; Merkle, first base; Kilduff, second base; Hollocher, shortstop; Pick, third base; Flack, right field; Paskert, centerfeld; Mann, left field.
 Vaughn, Douglas, Tyler and sever al more pitchers probably will be on the bench, besides inffelders Deal, Zeider, Wortman and McCabe.

KEEN BUYERS IN
 BARNUM SCHOOL
How Room 19 Keeps Its Lead In Purchases of War Savings
 Stamps.

Barnum school Is in the midst of a most exciting War Savings cam paign It is closing up the year so strong that it is distinctly at the head of the grade schools and is taking great interest in the War Savings Stamps.
 The plan which has stimulated the students at the Barnum school te such high degree of activity is the possession of a banner which was especially made for the purpose and which bears the lettering, Leader in w. S. S." This indicates that the room having. possession of the banner was the leading purchaser of War Savings Stamps for the preceding week. The banner has now been in use for two weeks and has been held both weeks by Room 19, which is the Eighth second grade. Last week in order to get the possession of the ban ner over $79 worth of stamps were purchased by this room, and in order to hold it this week the room turned in s129.75. The total sales of stamps in the entire Barnum school this week were 1850 Thrift Stamps and 112 War Savings Stamps-a total of $S15. This eclipses any previous record of the Barnum school and has only been exceeded by the High school. Miss Carrie A. Seeley, the principal of Barnu1n school, has been most inter-. ested and enthusiastic in giving this new impetus to the sale of War Saw ings Stamps in the Barnum school. and she and her teachers and pupils are deservedly high in the favor Of the War Savings committee.

VIEW MOVIES IN
 REAL BATH TUBS

London. Dee, 1S-A moving picture audience in bath tubs through which warm water flows is the entertain mont oddity provided in film shows by the American Y. M. c. A. at the hospital under the shadows of Kings College, Cambridge, where wound ed men from France are treated In one ward certain of Ssle patients who have had very serious septic wounds are having the water treatment.
 To look at these men you might think they were lying comfortably in bed, propped up with pillows. They are really sitting in bath tubs in wa ter to their waists. A constant stream of water with a temperature of ninety-eight is kept running through the tub, purifying and cleansing the wounds, which have no other dress ing. A kind of magnified lap-board covers the top of the tub, and is in turn covered by a long, bright patch quilt. And there the men sit on air cushions, leaning against air pillows, day and night, sometimes for weeks at time. Only the most serious cases are put into these baths, men who otherwise have little chance of recovery and none without the am putation of a limb. But never yet has a case so treated been lost.
 "Its beastly uncomfortable the first week." said the .revord case of the ward, a British Tommy who was for eleven weeks in the bath. Your legs
 ache and you have the water rash. But in a week, at most, you get over that,
 and then 1t is more comfortable than
 being in bed, Tn fact, after they put
 you back in bed you can't sleep for a
 while it's so hard"
 The American Y. M. c. A. has been
 sending these men "movies" twice a week. A screen has been arranged al one end Of the hut and there all the | screen favo-ites play their parts while ] the men sit comfortably in their warm tubs. And when the show is over all
 they have to do is to turn out the | lights and go to sleep.

LAST AMERICAN
 ESKIMO DIES OF PNEUMONIAAT 31

Meme Peary Wallace, last living member of the Eskimo family .Ad- miral Peary brought with him to the United States from the Far North in 1900, has gone the way of all his race when they attempt life out of the Arctic. A letter received yesterday by James Beecroft. of Pelham Manor, with whom the young Eskimo oaee made his home, tells of his death in New Hampshire, Oct. 29, from pneu- monia. He had been working in a logging camp for Alton c. Hall Of Pittsburg, IN. H., was taken i'll with influenza and died at MT. Halls home without having again seen the frozen Greenland wastes which have called to him continually for almost twenty years. Meme has never been happy; here because the North was in his blood and he never could forget 1t for long.
 Meme was about 31 years old.< When he was little he was about the brightest of the Eskimo lads Admiral Peary knew in the Arctic village If Etah on the west coast of Greenland, which was the base of so many of the explorers expeditions toward the pole. When Peary returned to New York in 1900 on his ship the Roose- welt, he brought Meme and Mene's father and mother and three broth CTS with him.
 They were wide eyed with wonder at the white mans igloos, which seemed as high to them as the deso- late mountains which fringe Smith Sound. Although Eskimos who live far enough north to escape contact with civilization are almost never i'll. there is something about civilization which iS fatal to the swarthy little people, and even in villages where wha1ers touch and where Moravian missionaries make infrequent visits they are prone to tuberculosis, pneu- monia and other maladies, which al- most always prove fatal. And so, seven months after the family reach ed here, Meme was the only one left alive.
 Soon after Meme came here he was adopted by William Wallace and nv- he made his home with MT. Beecroft at Pelham Manor, to whom he be- came greatly attached.
 Meme tried to enlist in the navy, but was rejected. He was vigorous physically, an expert rifle shot and could ride a horse like one of his distant kinsmen the Tartars.
 In his letter to MT. Beecroft, MT. Hall said Meme lived only seven days after the influenza came.

CONSCREPF JEWS
 lN RUMANTA

Philadelphia, Dec. 17.-Jews in Rumania are conscripted into the army, but they are not permitted to become officers. Neither can they hold public office in that country, nor their children attend schools, except when there is room and then only on the payment of a sum of money.
 These restrictive as well as other oppressive conditionns under which the Jews are compelled to live in Rumania were recounted by Leo Wolfson of New York, in today's ses- sion of the American Jewish con gress assembled here for the purpose of attaining full and equal rights for the Jews throughout the world.
 Emancipation for the Jews in Ru- mania must come," said MT. Wolf son, "but it will never be done by Rumania itself. It must be accom- p1ished by outside poweTA
 There are about 250 900 souls af fected, and agitation and efforts to relieve the situation have been flu tile"

McCOY-CREFDON RATTLE
 FOR WORLDS MIDDLE
 WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

It was twenty-one years ago today that Kid Mccoy defeated Dan Cree don in fifteen rounds at Long Island City, N. Y, in a battle for the mid dleweight championship of the world
 When Bob Fitzsimmons relinquished the middleweight title to enter the ranks of the heavies, Creedon, who was an Australian and had held the middleweight championship of that country, claimed the title and offer ed to meet all corners. The Hoosier boxer accepted the challenge. The Australian was a clever boxer, but he seemed as slow as a freight train in comparison with the Kid In the tenth round Creedon landed a blow that came very near being a knock out, but Mccoy recovered, and from that time on was the master of the situation In the fifteenth Mccoy had his opponent at his mercy and Cree don was all but out when the bell sounded. His seconds threw in the sponge, realizing he didn't stand a chance, and Mccoy became the mid dIeweisht champion of the world.

IT. COBB'S BIRTHDAY.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the greatest baseball player of all time. will cele- brate, his S2nd birthday today. The Geors.a Peach was born in Royston. Ga, Dec. 1S, 1886, and the coming season will be his fifteenth in the uni form of the Detroit Tigers. It is no secret that he receives the largest salary ever paid to a player in the history of the game, and nobody can deny that Ty is worth it, for he is a tremendous drawing card, As for stick work, Ty has held the batting honors of the American League since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary" which, in these United States, is about ten years.
 The great Tiger outf1elder was IT years old when his name first appear ed in the box score of a professional team. This was in Anniston, Ala, in the Alabama-Tenness League. Be- i fore that he had played a few money i games" with the Royston Rompers, his share for the contest usually amounting to less than a dollar. Tyrus i was the son of a country editor and | politician, and his boyhood held ! nothing remarkable. Probably none of his playmates dreamed that Ty 1 was destined to become the hero of the nation. Young Cobb got his first ! chance with Augusta, Ga, but was fired because he knocked out home run when the manager had ordered a bunt Then he went to Anniston
 where he batted .970. Before the sea son closed he was given another
 chance with Augusta, in the South Atlantic League, and made good f Early in 1905 Augusta offered to sell
 Ty to Charleston for $50, but the offer
 was refused. Before the season wa;
 over the Tigers offered to pay S70(
 for the Georgia Peach delivered f.o b
 Detroit, and so, while still in hi!
 teens, Cobb broke into the major
 league. In the 41 games he played with the Tigers in 1905 he batted al even 300. The next year he made 1
 .s50 and for the past few years ha
 always batted aFound and above 400

GROUP PLAN GOING STRONG TO SOLvE
 CITY'S PROBLEMS

Up to Monday night 154 members of the Chamber of Commerce have at tended group meetings, in the Cham ber rooms, from four to 15 persons being present at each meeting. The fashion of these meetings is sweetly simple. MT, Price, the efficient sec- retary of the Chamber, meets the wis itors in a moct cordial way, and in vites them to write upon a sheet of paper a description of the policy which might be adopted which would personally benefit them the most and then, the measure which the Chamber might back, by which the city would most benefit.
 In this easy and time saving fash ion MT. Price gets a line on the minds of the members of his organization, finds out what the members really want, obtains many views about how to benefit Bridgeport, ascertains if there are any queer, radical or recall citrant elements in his flock and gets
 other knowledge, which, in the hands of a skilIful and diplomatic man like Secretary Price Is sure to prove ben eficial to the Chamber of Commerce and to Bridgeport.
 When the views of the members are fully obtained in the group mo 0tings the Chamber will take up the discus sion of programs, in public meetings, where matters will be disposed of in the usual way.
