LORD LONsDALE

England is today resuming the re-
vival in interest in boxing that was
lourishing when the war broke out
IN 1914, when the manly art began
TO take hold as never before in the
land Of its origin King Georges ap-
proTal probably had much to do with
this enthusiasm. but the man who
was chiefly instrumental in bringing
the game back into its own was the
fifth earl Of Lonsdale, the donor Of
the belts for the various champion
ships Of Great Britain. Lord Ions
dale, the Queensberry Of this genera
ton was born 50 years ago today.
Since his Eaton days he has been
a thorough sportsman. and, while he
has devoted much attention to yacht
ing and racing, his chief interest has
been the Derpetuatfon Of the snort
originated in England by James F'fgg
nearly two centuries ago. Lord Ions
dale was one Of the founders Of the
National Sporting club. the organi-
cation which stages a majority Of the
best bouts in Great Britain, and where
the great boxing tournament was re-
Gently held II was about q quarter
OF a century ago that Lord Lonsdale
practically saved the boxing game
from extinction in England The
government made the bout between
Frank Slavins the Australian, and Joe
McAul1fe a test case The earl of
Lonsdale employed some Of the best
lawyers IN the country TO defend the
men and the game. and the result was
a victory in the courts which estab-
lished a legal precedent

a direct result Of the work OF box

throughout the country il is only
necessary to mention that before very

OF a number Of state legislatures in

while New Jersey, which at present
has law permitting eight round
bouts, viii extend the license TO l.

Professionals Set Pace
The old time refOrmers who ar
gued that they were not opposed to
boxing-in fact. favored boxing as a
form OF exercise and physical deyel-
opment. but stood pat against the
professional game-have almost unan-
imously changed their views. accord
ing to the best available reports. They
realize that professional boxing really
sets the pace and provides the incen-
tive for youths TO take up boxing
as an exercise. just as professional
baseball serves TO encourage the boys

1T is idle to point to any one in

Of boxing. The game itself is bigger
than any individual Boxing has
stood up against all sorts Of knocks
and generally survived 8 temporary
setback in any locality And now
with its greatly increased popularity
it faces a sunny and prosperous fu-
ture. starting with the present year

as never before, and that champion

American boxers hold titles are TO be
