That Is a reasonable 1 proposition, but what puzzles the boxing enthusiasts of the United States! is that nearly every time prestige or a ttile 1 at stake the decision goes to the Briton if he Is on his feet at the close of the scheduled number of rounds. It Is a matter of record that no American champion or challenger r.ieeilng a Briton yet has received the referee's decision on points In England if the bout went the limit. Americans who have won bouts In England have knocked out their opponents. Kid Lavlgne knocked out Dick Burgc, Tommy Burns knocked out Gunner Molr. Jimmy Barry knocked out Walter Croot, George Dixon stopped Nunc Wallace, and Kid McCoy and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien knocked out nearly all their opponents In England.

But that did not affect Goss' title. He remained champion till a short time afterward, when he met Paddy Ityan In a title match to a finish. It took Ryan 87 rounds to beat Goss. BEMPSKY'S SVSTEM 18 OLD, After an oracular critic had reflected land to fight for a world's title, beat Tom Sayera so severely the Briton could not get out of his corner for the forty-third round. The referee had left the ring In the thirty-eighth round, at a time when Bayers was plainly a beaten man, without giving a decision, which was a flagrant violation ot tha rules.

Thf ring ropes were cut In the forty-third round and the helpless Bayers wns carried to his quarters, Heenan walked to his dressing room. Although the referee did not name the winner, English critics called the battle a draw and thought to mollify Heenan by having two championship belts made, one for Heenan and one for Bayers. Heenan's was not paid for and the maker took It away from the American. Jake Kllraln fought Jem Smith, champion of England, IDS rounds at Seine, France, on December 19, 1887. Kllrain had all the better of the encounter, but at the close of the one hundred and sixth round the referee, an Englishman, halted the bout on tha allegation that It was too dark.

It was the understanding that the contest would be resumed the following day, but It never was, and Smith thus eccaped a beating. Kllraln, during the battle, was beaten by sticks In the hands of Smith's heelers. BLAVIX CHEATED, TOO. Frank Slavin, a native of Maltland, K. S.

met Smith In Bruges, Bel-glum, on December S3. 1889. It was a repetition of the bout with Kllraln, only that Slavin was more severely beaten by those outside the ring. Slavin had no difficulty In beating Smith, but the ring was rushed -in the fourteenth round and the English referee called the bout a draw. But here notejtha difference.

Slavin was a native of an English colony, and tha English sportsmen took up the matter, saw to It that Slavin got the winner's end ot the purse, and also brought about the expulsion from the Pelican club of Squire Abingdon, who had been perniciously active In behalf of Smith. One of the first boxers under Queens, berry rules to get a taste of EngliHh decisions was Dave Sullivan, who, as a bantam, boxed with Pedlar Palmer In London In 1897. Sullivan beat Palmer eo severely the Briton had to be assisted from the ring. But Palmer got the decision on "points." JPackey McKarland boxed S5 rounds with Freddie Welsh In 1908, and although many English critics Insisted the American had the better of the ar-gument, the English referee gave the decision to Welsh. McFarland refused to make a second match with Welsh In England.

What happened to Willie Ritchie he boxed Welsh for the title Is a matter ot history, and the two decisions In favor of Wilde over Moore and Lynch furnish corroborates evidence.

San Francisco, Cal Dec. 17 If the promoter of a World title fight between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentler realizes 81,000,000. Dempsey will demand 500.000, Jack Kearns, his manager, said hera today.

"The stadium promoters In Paris have cabled me they expected their house would draw $1,000,000 for a Dempsey-Carpentier fight," Kearns said. "I cabled back I would demand a 60 per cent guarantee, and expect the answer to my message is In my office In Los Angeles now." i "If tha stadium draws $1,000,000 It will be because of Dempsey, the champion. Carpentler or Beckett or any other pair ot fighters not Including Dempsey would not draw half that much. Therefore my demand for a spilt of $500,000 Is Justified." Kearns said he would leave for Los Angeles tonight. I have seen more furs on Broadway that Jack Dempscy had originated a distinctively new system of ring procedure.

In the contrary, Dempsey's system Is as old as the hills. He employs tha system that John L. Sullivan used, and that later was adopted by Terry MeCJov- In July and August than I have seen In i of the higher orders, heavy blossom on stunted stalks. In August berries are abundant.

Leonard S. Sugden said, when asked If Alaska waa not the old "Ice-chest" we used to think It was. There Is much misinformation In existence regarding this rich possession of ours and one of the most common bits Is regarding Its climate. Purchased In 1867 from Russia for $7,200,000 it has paid for Itself over 66 times. It derives Its name, from the Indian, "Al-ak-shak," meaning "Great Country." From east to west It extendi 4,000 miles, or as far as from 'Frisco to New York and back to Chloago.

Its range of climate la considerable. Along ths coast, the Sltkan district, and to the westward, the climate Is very equable, due to the drift of warm Pacific ocean currents; tho annual rangs Is from zero to 75 degrees, While It Is true that far Inland this would vary considerably, here we find a region of luxuriant vegetation. It Is a strange, almost paradoxical, thing to find flowers blooming in this land of glaciers, ofttlmes at their Very sides. But throughout Alaska the abundance and variety of wild flowers Is striking. Many are kindred to Our own of the states, and among them are gentians, saxifrage, lady slippers, cycla-mlnes, asters, daisies and popples.

"I will fight any man in the world." This answer was a true Index of Jack-son's bearing both In and out of the rlnr.
