BOXING GAINS SPORT
SPOTLIGHT THROUGH

First Game to Assume In

MANY UPSETS ABROAD
claBs of European boxers. It Is a ser
vlco elimination tournament. They can
compare so-and-so with dreb, nnother
with Mitchell. There Is personal satis
faction In this.
Jimmy Wilde has been rcgaided hero
with doubt. He twice downed American
boys, but neither of his opponents wero
regarded as first-Class men. Joo Lynch
was recognized as ono of our very best
bantams. Joe lost on points, but he
made tho flyweight klne of the British
Isles battle.
If Pal Moore, of Memphis, engages
Wilde in the final it will help us more
to clear up the real class of the wiry
fly Itlng.
Just ono month after the signing of
the armistice, tho Allies are found fight
ing among themselves. The victorious
Allies, filled with the fighting spirit,
still battle.
By JAMES S. CAROLAN
BOXINO is having Its Inning. For the
first time 'ulnce prewar days tho
glove game Is In the limelight, the glare,
tha calcium. It Is THE SPOItT at
pfesent.
As soon as this country became en
(raged In the war nil sports seemed due
for a setback. Then along came Its
Introduction In the many military and
navnl camps and soon It was the most
nbpulai1 and beneficial sport In the serv.
ico, Doctor naycroft, chairman of the
War Department committee on nthletlc
training, only a few days ago mado a
statement on .the value of the ring game
In training fighting men' for tho big fight
In France.
Today, with universal peace near, box
ing Is the first sport to nssumo interna
tional Importance. The wonderful Inter
allied tourney now In progress In London
Is evidence of Its popularity. The heads
of regal, civil; naval and military life
are In attendance. It Is tho biggest sport
ing event of Its kind ever staged.
Glance through tho records and show
where so many fistic notable from all
parts of the world ever were engaged In
ono gigantic, mammoth carnival. It
cannot bo done. It never happened.
Often have promoters dreamed of pag
ing such an all-star cast, but only gov
rrnment heads are able to put oh such
a show.
The best boxing men In all branches
of the service In the Allied cause now
are ,in London. There have been many
surprises, a few of the favorite Ameri
can boxers falling by the wayside. Just
the ones we expected to remain for the
finish have been eliminated and the ones
we picked to pass out In tho first pre
liminary still aro lingering. We wonder
how, many of tho present winners gained
their first knowledge of boxing after en
tering tho service.
Nothing could have done more to
stimulate Interest In international box
ing than the present tourney. It also
has served to "bring forth men never
before known to exist. Who ever
dreamed that Sergeant IUng, of tne
British army, would tako the measure
of Harry dreb. one of our 1?

In' the second bout
Followers of American boxers nro
familiar with the class of their own per.
formers. They have read of Harry
Greb, Mike O'Dowd, Eddla McGoorty,
Eddla Coulon, Cal Delaney, Illchle
Mitchell and many other boys in the
Anglo-American competition. They know
their worth.
These same fans at different times
have read of the results of boxing In
London rings, but carelessly glanced at
tho outcome and passed It off with a
"Well, I guess they're fair; wish them
luck; don't class with our boys."
This samo thought Is only too preva
lent. Many foreign boxers havo ex
hibited in this country, and. disaster, as
a rule, has fallen in their wake. Very
few boys from across the pond who havo
come here In recent years have made
good. There was Freddy Welsh, but
Welsh was more American than English
when he won tho title. Ted (Kid) Lewis,
Eddie Morgan, Matt Wells, Owen Moran
nnd Spike Robson are other boys who
mado good here. There may be others,
but these are the only ones we recall
at present.
This tourney will serve to give the
American fans an excellent line on tho

To a child, Christmas
without candy is as joyless
as n rainy bunday.
Candy canes or sugar clo-

handful of any of these in

will make the difference be

THE SOUL OF ITALY! How splendid in trial
and supreme in misfortune. No nation has served
.more heroically, with higher inspiration or greater valor;
Italy,with only 36,000,000 people, mobilized 4,500,000
magnificent soldiers, and struggled to Victory through
snows of Alpine peaks and choked-up mountain passes.
IF the death grapple between Italy and Austria had1
alone filled the world's stage," writes Charles Edward
Russell, "we would have stared breathless on one of the
strangest and most exciting wars ever fought, and cele
brated a thousand acts of heroism we now hardly know.?
Charles Edward Russell knows Italy knows
her glory knows her sacrifices. His tribute
in Hearst's for December was written fresh
.from his last visit to war councils of Rome.'
IF you are not "interested inworldwide broadness of
vision in generous appreciation of less conspicuous
accomplishment you won't want Hearst's this month
or any other. But if you want the one magazine that
'more than any other represents the greater spirit of these
greater times, dont fail to read Charles Edward Russell
on "The Soul of Italy" jn the December number of

jT 1 HO made the clothes?
v r Tkat is a question
J J much, on men's lips
" these days in clothes
buying .... The ways of cheapen
ing a garment are so many the
temptation is often so strong that
it is reassuring to see on the label
the name of A. B. Kirschbaum. Co.
Whether the price of the suit or
the overcoat be $25, $30 or $35
you know that the fabric is all
wool, the tailoring the finest that a
great and skillful organization can
produce.
ABOVE ALL, THIS IS THE XMAS
OF THE USEFUL GIFT
Give but give usefully that Is Father
Christmas' advice this year, at least so
far as men are concerned. You are
invited women gift buyers particu
larly to look over our stock of prac
tical things for a man's wardrobe or
chiffonier practical without a sacri
fice of elegance or refinement.
