Ted Pritchard defeated Jem Smith in three rounds at London in 1891. In this battle Smith, the last of the bare knuckle champions of England, lost his title He had previously 'been defeated by Peter Jackson, but when the Australian negro left England Smithhagain claimed the heavyweight benors of that country . Despite the Pritchard in a return bout, he was rever much good after that, and was defeated by Dan Creedon, the Aus- tralian middleweight. Smith was a big, muscular fellow, with shoulders: like a giant, although only five feet eight and a half inches in height. The biggest battle of his career was in 1887, when he went to France and fought Jake Kilrain for the world's title, which was then claimed by Jake, Jem and Jake fought 106 rounds to a draw, accords ing to the official decision, although even the English fans admitted that the American proved himself the bet- ter man. ; Jem was a fair fighter at his hest, but a poor successor to the great champions who at one time flourished in England. CLOSER RELATIONSHIP Between U. 8S. And Canadian Golf- . ers is Foreshadowed. Closer relationship > between the golfers of the United States and Can- ada is foreshadowed as one result of the war. The datest evidence of this is the invitation that has been ex- tended to "Chick" Evans, Jerome D. Travers and John G. Anderson to play matches at Montreal and To- ronto, and it will indeed be surprising if this is not merely the thin end of the wedge which will result in calls upon the services of other United States stars for exhibitions in the Dominion. Credit for the closer linking of the interests of the United States and Canadian golfers must not go to Travers and Anderson, but to the seniors, for it is about -a year since the veterans across the border form- ed an association on the lines of the one which had its inception at Apa- wamis, with the view of bringing about a yearly contest between the two bodies. While the age limit in the American Association is fifty-five years, the Canadians allow players of fifty years to membership because in their country there are fewer of these veterans. It seemed to be the idea of the American seniors that the first match was td be deferred until after the war, but ' althcugh they have been in the big fight since the begin- ning, the Canadians seem to be an- [xious to begin without delay. This much can be said--it will be a great event when it does take place, and "lwill go a long way toward bringing GENERAL SIR H. S. HORNE the golfers of the two countries even closer than they have been. Can You Run a Car. Mhe world's greatest athletes and sportsmen have poured out their blood in a rich, red stream for hum- anity. In the scroll of history, the runners, the fighters, the jockeys, the ball players, in fact, all "sports" will hold large space. There are those who follow the games who cannot get "over there." They are willing to do their share, but many have not had the idea im- pressed upon them that having food, producing food, and buying 'honds helped much. They do, but there Is still more to be done. Can you rum a motor car? There will be much work to be done soon, in the operation of threshers and binders. 'Learn to operate a farm machine, and help in this way. It's the work that tells. Want Sohmer Park. It is reported that an offer has been made for Sohmer Park, Mont- real, for use as a giant ice rink next winter, presumably for the purpose of playing professional hockey ma- tches, The names of George Kennedy, who has the Canadien hockey fran- chise in the National Hockey League, and Lucien Riopel, who managed the Jubilee rink last winter, are men- tioned in connection with the offer. "Putting Sohmer Park into shape for a hockey stadium would be a huge undertaking, as there is no ade- quate seating arrangement at the present time.
