FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Dec. 11—(United Press)—Boxing, of the many popular American sports, is on the defensive most of tho time. It is criticised more than any other sport and it deserves some of the defamatory things safd about {t. Oratorical de- fenses mean nothing and it is rather , | Sad that its most used defensive ar-| gument is tts silliest—“the manly art of self-defense,” Arguments that every one should learn how to box so as to be able to knock out a thug when attacked and endorsements of the game found- ed on assertions that boxing won the War are absurd. Boxers themselves know that. One of the present world's cham: pions, also one of the best educated and most mentally fit of them all, Was approached recently by the rep- resentative of a syndicate with an offer ‘to write his life and a series of instructions on boxing. He was not interested and he was frank about it. “It would be a source of very Iit- tle revenue in the first place,” he said. “And then also I am not stupid enough to think that I am 80 much of a personage that the public would be interested in reading about my life. I do not believe it could be done with modesty. “Also I would not write a series of instructions on boxing. I do not want to teach anyone to box, or to recommend it as a profession. There is no such thing as boxing. It is fighting and the purpose of It {s to make money. I would not teach a son of mine to fight and I do not want to be instrumental in encour- aging the son of another to get into the business, “I would be willing to teach a youngster how to keep himself phyr- feally fit, teach him how to develop himself and how to retain his health and vigor, I would like to do that, but it can never be done because to carry out the instructions would en- tall some sacrifices. Such lessons never would be @ success, becatise boys won't ‘follow edvice of that kind.” Boxing has been condemned be cause it is a “brutal sport,” and be- cause according to the strict purist viewpoint of some ecclosiastics, it is unchristianlike. More liberal minded persons dis- card those criticisms because the in- formed know that very few, mighty Is a Bad Back Crippling You?

There are suggestions, frequent and lasting, that boring {s not on the level, that too much “business” is considered in the making and fight- ing of matches and there is a lot | of evidence to substantiate that be- et. It {s @ generally accepted fact that Jack Dempsey “carried” Bill Bren- nan for twelve rounds in thelr sec- ond fight for the purpose of having it belleved that Georges Carpentier had a chance with him. The opinion has teen expressed that Dempsey carried Tom Gibbons fifteen rounds in Shelby last sum- mer in order to boom a match with | Luis Firpo or Harry Wills. It was said that Benny Leonard | Permitted himself to look bad in his j first fight with Lew Tendler and that he did not wish to knock him out in the second match because he ‘wanted to meet him again. . Open accusations were made that Firpo'y set-up opponents were in duced to take a. flop to help in the build-up for the Dempsey fight. Many of these charges can be dis- poses. but the proof is not convinc- is. Dempsey was not in good shape for the Brennan or ¢stbobns fights, but it can be argued that Dempsey didn’t train for the purpose of being unfit. Dempsey also took his own referee to Shelby, and if it was a “carry,” he certainly went the well: known old maid one better for the limit of precaution. It is not so easy to argue the case of Benny Leonard, because it does not seem reasonable that Tendler 1s Tugged enough to withstand the pun ishment Leonard gave him, if Ben- ny really levelled on him. There are examples that stand out, all too infrequently, it must be admitted, that make one believe that at least a part of boxing is on the level. ‘When Kid Norfolk won e@ fifteen- round decision recently from Bat- tling Siki, a great many skeptics were forced to admit that the match was on the level and they were so doubtful about it before the bout that many wise fans refused to bet. It is rather unfortunate that cot- ored boxers enjoy so little of the Dublic’s confidences, but they have participated in so many “jobs” In the past that there aro reasons for the fans to doubt them. Norfolk had nothing to win or lose in that fight. His purse mat tered not. His percentage was the same, win, lose or draw. Defeated Connie Mack is the oldest man- ager in the major leagues, and the only manager in the American league to pilot the same team con: tinuously since the junior organiza- don expanded. A four-round bout between a one- legged army officer and a one-legged naval officer was a feature of the big boxing tournament held in Lon- don recently in ald of the fund to save the Victory, Nelson's old flag- ship. Both officers held the heavy weight championship in their re- spective services until each lost one of his legs in the great war. The earnings of golf professionals in England average $2,500 a year. The Yale-Cornell-Princeton tri- angular race will feature the Spring regatta at Princeton next May. In the 24 years of intercollegiate cross-country competition, Cornell has been victorious 17 times. A fund of $20,000 is being raised by popular subscription in Montreal to finance the coming carnival of winter sports in that city, Louis Rubenstein, president of the Amateur Skating Association of Can- ada, has held office in that organiza- tion continuously for 30 years.

Rolls. WASHINGTON, Dec. 11—(United Press.)—Although more than @ cen- tury has elapsed since the war of 1812, widows of 40 veterans of that conflict still remain on the roll of the United States pension office, the annual report of the commissioner of pensions disclosed today, Pensions paid out in the last fiscal year amounted to $263,012,509, bringing up the total disbursements to pensioners, under the pension system which dates back to 1790, to $6,606,356,621.

The games will start promptly at 8 o'clock. The league this year, with eight teams instead of 12, is bound to be a faster, snappler organization. The main difficulty last year was that there were not enough players in the city to turn out a dozen teams equal in strength. This seems to have been overcome this year and a series of close contests is assured. ‘The league will run until March with two doubleheaders every week, the Tuesday night games being played at the Baptist chureh and the Wednesday night games being played at the high school.

The net loss to the pension roll in the past year was 7,260.

The average annua] value of a pension of all classes is $421.92, The average value of a pension paid Civil war veterans is $661; of the war with Spain, $187; of the war with Mexico,.$729; of the Indian wars, $217.

He would get no more matches as the conqueror of Sik! than he would have come into as the victim of the Senegalese. On the other hand, the cards showed that Sik! had much to gain by beating Norfolk. He had much more to win than to lose. Norfolk had been given to him as his first test and his big test and if he “took” the Baltimore Kid, {t would have meant everything to him. But he didn't “take” the kid, and those who remarked wisely that “Norfolk had no reasons to win,” had to admit that the match went “on {ts own.” There are many other examples, the Pal Moran-Charley White fight for one—to get over the idea once in @ while that the game is partially on the level.
