Hogarth, Pictorial Satir- ist, an Early Devotee of Boxing Art. These who consider that pugilism was born in infamy and fathered by buman brutes are very much mistak- en The first patrons. of the ring game were men of tie highest dis- tinetion--The Earl of Peterborough, one the greatest generals in Eng- \ Heh history, and William Hogarth, an artist who has never had a super- | or as a pictorial satirist, It is a | ex lence that Both of these fath- ers of boxing died on the twenty- fifth of October, the soldier in 1735, and the artist in 1764. It was the old Earl of Peterborough who dis- covered James Figg, the first English boxing champion, Figg was living in his native village in Oxfordshire when the Earl an enthusiast on the art of self-defence, heard of his prowess, and established him in Lon- don in the Tottenham court road, where Figg initiated the young mo- bility in the new stience of fistic combat. The Earl himself was an earnest pupil, despite his advanced years. Hogarth, then a rising young artist, was also a devotee of manly sports, and from a pupil he soon be- came an intimate friend of Figg. The professional card of the father of pugilism was designed by the cele- brated artist. Many other famous men of Figg's time were patrons of the boxing game, Among them was Sir Robert Walpole, Earl of Oxford, | the Prime Minister of England, who | orcupied a box in Figg's amphithea- | tre when the first champion defend- {ed his Bile wgainet Ned Sutton. King | George 1 1.. the Prince of Wales and | the Duke of Cumberland goon set the | seal of approval upon the new sport, and under Jack Broughton's rules | pugilism was established as a favor- ite British game, of | HIGHLANDERS ARE OUT TO BU BUY PENNANT Ruppert Emulating Example of Giants and White Sox--Bid- ding For Johnson. That negotiations for the acquisi- tion of Walter Johnson and his bat- tery partmer, Catcher Ainsmith, by the New York American League club are well under way, and that the dedl ie likely to be consummated within a few weeks was the assertion made to the Globe correapdadent to- day by a man in close touch with the affairs of the New York club. "Col. Jacob Ruppert and his asso- ciates are.out for a pennant-winner or New York, and neither money nor the power of persuasion will be spar- | ed with that in view. The signing | of Huggins to manage the club is the! first step toward the building up of a powerful team in the metropohs. Since the club's entry into this city in 1903 it has been beset by more or Jess hard luck and some rather] inferior management, and its indif-| ferent success as a penmamt eomten- der hes been detrimental to the pres tige of the American League" This faot is now fully recognized, and a strong effort will be made to put the team in a position to com- mand public favor.

York bas given the Giants the bulk of support because thie Natiomal League team has been winning pen- nants, while the Highlanders have started out each season with bright prospects, only to trail along at the fag end of the season. It is recognized by club owners of {he American League that John 's great pitching ability is being wt in Washington under present don- ditions, and that his transfer to New York would add immensely to the prestige of the league and to the rev- enue of the club owners.

President Ban Johnso an- nouncement that 6 the American | League is ready to stand by the Gov-| ernment to a finish im any contin- gency that may arise is not taken to mean that the league is anticipating the calling off of -the blue ribbon event. A declaration by President] Tenor of the National League, in witich- he foresees no need of calling | off the series if the playing seasons, are finished, seems to voice the sen-! timent of baseball men in general. Information gathered with the re-| gard to the effect of conscription onl the major leagues, indicates that! none of the contending teams willl be broken up. In case drafted play- ers are ordered to concentration camps prior to the close of the sea-, son it is said the club owners are prepared to go through without! them. The playing of the Warld's more than eight or nine days, and baseball men | are inclined to believe that its play-| ing would scarcely conflict with any' plans of the Government for calling players of the two pennant winning clubs into service, That the major leagues stand prepared tio assist the Government in every way possible is assured by Military training given the players, donations to the Red Cross by various clubs and repeated assertions by magnates and players of their willingness to render ass's- tamce, In the last analysis the mat- ter will be left entirely to President Wilson, and it is not at all likely | that he wil recommend suspension | of the" World's Seriés. Should Mr. Wilson, however, really want the games stopped the two major leagues) will cheerfully yield to his request, | At this time, however, it is not con-! ceivable on what grounds President | Wilson can ask for the suspension of a series which requires lttle over al! week for its completion. | ---- | | { w AFTER WALTER JOHNSON.
