Decline of English ChnInn


Twenty years ago Mr.. A. F. BETH
son, of the National Sporting Club Of
London. published a nicely bound vol
ume entitled THE National Sporting
Club. Past and Present"
The book deals with the history OF
the famous club from the year 1864
right up to 1901. 1t is full of old pic
lures. stories of old fights and anec-
dotes of members.
Mr. Bettison also wrote an article in
the book entitled The Decline of Eng
lish Champions"
He says. in part;
Il do not hesitate to say that the
American boxers show their superiori-
ty over the English ones. because the
Americans have themselves uncon-
sciously absorbed and put into practice
that very style and those very tactics
which one made English boxers the
superiors Of the world I say that the
reason why English boxers are beaten
by Americans is because, as boxers,
they have discarded their own style.
And what is more singular is that they
still remain obstinately unaware of it,
bit further on he says:
In the first place. l may lay it down
as an undeniable maxim that. thong n
this is an age when everybody has a
new style or a new invention. there is
only one style in boxing. That style
found probably its most perfect expon-
ent in the person of Jem Mace. And X
is to Jem Mace's method and tactics
that the present generation of Amert-
can boxers owe their superiority to our
own"
Mr.. Bettison then goes on to tell OF
Jem Mace's travels. II seems that Jem
quit Dear Old London at the close Of
his active career as a pugilist and
opened a hotel in Sydney. Australia.
He taught boxing. and among his pu-
pills was Larry Foley. A bit later Larry
became a teacher and wised up such
gents as Peter Jackson, Bob Fitzsim
mons. Jim Hall. Dan Creedon and
Young Critic.
Years later this bunch invaded
America They were e riot. They
were the talk of the country. The new
style In boxing was a revelation TO thu
fans.
MT. Bettison says;
TT was nothing but Larry Foley'i
style. which was nothing but Jen
Mace's style-whIch was nothing bu
the most consumate Of ENGLISH style:
