Supt. w. L. WATSON Of State Hospital
Has Been Very Ill.

Church bells were not rung in town
yesterday because of the serious and
nervous condition of DR.. w. L. WATSON
superintendent of the Vermont state hos
pital for the insane. DIR, WATSON worked
necessarily through the influenza cpl
demic at the hospital and did not sue
cumb to the disease until after the worst
was over. Then DR.. WATSON was striek-
en-, and although miserably sick did not
seem critical until the last of the week
Thursday he suffered greatly with neu-
ritis but Friday seemed better again
Saturday he was much worse, his condi-
ton alarming because of his heart. Drs
beecher and Tinkham of Burlington were
with him and were frank to admit his
alarming condition. The fact that he
lived through Saturday night, however,
was reassuring and when the Burlington
doctors came yesterday they found out
ward conditions bit better, and the
family, associates at the hospital and
community took courage; although they
realized that he is still in critical condi-
tion. DR.. Il. A. Stanley, assistant SUI
perintendent, who has been very i'll and
is Just getting out, is back at the hos
pital about one and one-half hours each
half day to look after the mail. He be-
gan getting out of doors only the first of
last week and is far from strong

ANTT-BOXING CRUsADEs

Ever since the pugilistic game ori- ginated in England nearly two cen- turies ago there have been crusades against the brutal sport. Much of the criticism in the very early days was merited, yet the moralists forget that when boxing was introduced it supplanted the duel and the far from tender sport of sudgelling. Boxers themselves cannot escape a large share of the blame for the disrepute
 into which the sport has often fallen! It was so in the very beginning of the game, who the sporting public, as
 we'll as the opponents of the game, were disgusted with the brutality of battle between George Taylor and Brinco Boswell, a gyspy, who kicked each other and otnerw >5c behaved brutally It was Jack Brougnton who saved the game in the early days
 by formulating the first code of pugi- Estic rules, which eliminated many | of the most objectionable features. | After the period of Broughton and his conqueror, Jack Slack, the pugi- lists of the period from 1760 to 17S0 a, knockout. The period was cnar-
 
 brutal behavior, and the title was almost openly bought and sold.
 Tom Johnson, Dan Mendoza, and i other great boxers then came to the front and boxing entered upon its
 most glorious era, when it had the
 patronage of kings, princes, nobility,
 and the aristocracy of letters and i learning Queen Victoria, early in i her reign, showed opposition to pu- gilism and the game was again on l It's last legs in England when the i Marquis of Queensberry formulated ] his code of rules which now govern fistic contests. Nevertheless for many years during the Victorian era i boxing was not only prohibited, but 1 the railroads were required by law not i to carry passengers bound for the scene of a prospective prize fight. In America, too, prize-fighting was
 drowned upon by the authorities all most from the time of its introduce ton. The fighters were chased ! from pillar to post and most of the
 early battles were secretly staged. i Gangs of toughs were usually in evi- : dence at the rirgside, and this gave , the game a bad name. Very soon sev- teral states passed laws prohibiting 'prize fights within their confines and this number has increased within
 recent years.
 I It is true however that of late years the boxing game has had to i contend with a multitude. of unfair critics. It is safe to say, however, that the game has received renewed i recognition after the many contests
 staged In connection with war chari-
 ties as well as those pulled off in the
 camps among the men themselves.

ANOTHER VICTIM,

Jack Dempsey has made himself an innocent party to a series of so-called
 boxing bouts at which the public gets at the rate of one cents worth of en- tertainment for dollars admission fee. Now that he has disposed of Carl Morris by just Joking at him, 10 seconds after the opening gong, Dempsey will hie himself to Atlanta, where he is scheduled to take on Jack Hanlon, well known in Brooklyn and who was knocked out even by Ten Cowler If Morris was knocked out in ten seconds, Hanlon. should be un- conscious even now. Putting Hanlon against Dempsey is little short of an outrage and an insult to the intelli- gence of the boxing fans of Atlanta.
 The worst part of it is the fact that the males of Atlanta will flock to the

SMITH MAY PLAY WITH GIANTS

Arthur Irwin is endeavoring to sell to the Giants Earl Smith, the young catcher who jumped into prominence last season as a result of his sensa- tional work behind the bat for the Rochester Club of the International League. Practically every major league club has been on the trail of has received a number of very fine bids for his services. However, Irwin asks $10,000 for his young star and the Giants are said to have first call
 on him. Irwin made trip to Chicago while the Giants were in that city last
 summer in the endeavor to close a deal for the player with John Nc
 Graw, but at that time the outlook for baseball in 1919 was dismal and
 the Giant leader could not see his
 way clear to pay a big price for a
 minor league player.
 Smith is only 21 years old and is now in the army, but as he is in a 1 cantonment in this country, he ex- poets his discharge in the near future. He is a big powerful youngster with a fine throwing arm, and more real | baseball sense than generally is ! found in a "busher," and ranked
 among the leading hitters in the In- | ternational last season. As Bill Rari- den has announced his retirement | from the game, it is certain that the 1 Giants will make a determined effort

SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO WIN.

There's a unique reward in store for some lucky golfer in Canada, of- fered by Charles E. (Chick) Evans, Jr., national amateur and open cham pion. Some time ago Chick sent to the Manitoba Golf Association a set of ten clubs, exact duplicates of his own, to be drawn for, as well as an award of two dozen balls. But the third offering is the most novel one heard of in a long time. It calls for the visit of the lucky man to the giver of the prizes, no matter where Evans may happen to be. Thee onditions are that Evans play a round with the winner of the third award, or, in other words, that the champion give the visitor a lesson. The tickets for the three prizes have been distributed to the secretaries of the clubs in the association, the price of each chance being $2.00, and the proceeds will be turned over to the Red Cross.

GOWDY KILLED IN ACTION.

Rumors are heard to check once they get started, particularly if on a subject close to the hearts Of many.
 Some of the returning soldiers spread a report yesterday that Sergt. Hank Gowdy, the first major league baseball player to enlist when the United States declared war on Ger many on April 6, 1917, had been kill ed in action just before the armistice was signed.
 No credencc is put ir the report He has earned nationwide fame apart from his sensational play in the worlds series of 1914 by his quick re- sponse to the call of Uncle Sam, and if killed in action the announcement would have reached this country long since, even if not made public through official channels.
 Johnny Evers said yesterday that he had heard nothing of such report when he left France two weeks ago.
