John G. Chambers, i famous athletic
expert and writer on sports, was the
father, of the -club, but in order to
give "eclat ' to the scheme by securing
the patronage of a member of the no
bility, he Interested the Marquis of
Quensbeerry in the proposition. Thus
the code of .rules formulated to" gov
ern' amateur boxing bouts was cred
ited to the Marquis of Queensberry,
although Chambers was the real au
thor. This set of rules was adopted,
with amendments; for professional
bouts but the - present Queensberry
code bears little resemblance to the
original. The - Chambers .club . and
code, marked', the beginning of , mod

was in danger of-being utterly, out

SOCCER FOOTBAIJj '
- COMING TO FRONT IN
- . THE UXITED STATES
-1 Soccer football, the great Brit
ish sport which was introduced.
Into America ', by English ,and
Scotch Immigrants to Canada, is ,
now rapidly gaining to . popular
ity in Uncle Sam's country. Co
lombia, -Tale, Harvard, Cornell.
Pennsylvania and ' Hft verforCf
have taken enthusiastically to the
game, and will start their annual
series for the ; tatercolleg&ite :
championship to-morrow, when,'
Penhsy is scheduled to ;play at
yalo and Columbia at Haverford.
The Intercollegiate Soccer Ix?a
guB championship and tlio Milnes
trophy ar aow held by Harvard,
the Crimson team ' having won
last year, with Haverf ord second.
Princeton - has recently taken up
the game and has joined the lea
gue, and within a few years it Is
likely that all the leading Ameri
can colleges will be playing soc
cer.. .....
Under the new American inter-
-collegiate rules two - substitutes
will Devpermitted for each team,
this being -a departure from the
British rules, which .permit no"
substitutes. On the- Pacific coast
there are many good soccer clubs
and a great soccer tournament is
scheduled for the .San ' Francisco
exposition, as a preliminary try
out to secure the best . American
material for the Olympic games.
Soon -after soccer attained some
popularity in Canada it spread to
the United States by way of De-
trait, which was the first city on"
the southern -side of the intema-
i Uonal boundary to have a soccer
team. .Buffalo tooK up ui game
a little later, and soccer teams
soon made their appearance" In
various cities of New York, New
England, New Jersey and Penn
sylvania. ' About a quarter of i a
century ago the Peninsular lea
gue, the first international soccer
circuit,, was organized,"" and De
troit annexed the championship
1893. In the meantime soccer
had made ' its way southward
from British Columbia to the Pa--dfic
States, and about fifteen
years ago It. reached the Middle
West, with clubs and leagues in
Chicago and St. -Ijouis. - In 1905
'American interest In the game
was further . enhanced! by the
visit of two crack "British aggre
gations, the Pilgrims and Corin
thians, who toured Canada and
the States. The visitors found the
American soccer clubs compara
tively easy, hut when the Pil
grims came over again a couple
of years ago they were beaten by
the Fall River, Mass., team, and
had' to play their hardest to win
in other cities. Soccer is now
played all over the United States,
and many adherents of the pas
time believe that it will eventual
ly supplant the more brutal and
less speedy American Intercolle
giate style of football.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
ENGLISH AN1 "AMERICAN
, RULES FOR BOXING.
: a 4By S. Andrews.)
There has' been considerable argu
ment in this country of late .about the
boxing- rules, especially regarding tlie"
clean breaks, etc. C Different inter
pretations are given by referees and
boxing commissioners regarding the
same and as a result the. boxers-are
mixed at times as to what rule to fol
low. . - The same trouble has. been ex
perienced in England, the .home of
boxing, and in speaking of the mat
ter, Mr. Dyer, ' an English .-expert
writes as follows: . - ;
"The rules governing boxing are byj
no .-means clear on many points, a
great deal, perhaps .too- much, . being
left to the' discretion, of the third
man : in the . ring. . Especially is ; this
the- .case with . the much disputed
question of" clean breaks and infight
ing. .American and British ideas are
totally - at " variance." on the point,
though'. it must-' be "said-- that the
American.; style, of. boxing is becom-t,
ing more and more, the "fashion with
our leading glove artists. :".'.:
The Queensbury rules contain noth
ing Vegulating what is known here as
the clean - break and a boxer is perfectly-
Justified" in delivering . a - blow
coming away from' a clinch. It may
look pretty and to some people is not
strictly fair play, but the absence of
any official ruling - opens the door 'to
many abuses by both boxers and ref
erees. '; . - ' - -A
case in point was " the bout last
Monday between Kid Lewis and Paul
Til for the featherweight title of Eu-1
rope.;. The boys -agreed to box under
National Sporting club rules, : which
are like . the Queensbury' set and con
tain no reference to hitting on il-e
break away. - ' -'
The French boy-had been given to
understand that English ' referees
were .strict in their, interpretation of
the rules and was warned 'by his ad
not to bt on - the break away. That
he. clinched a great deal more than
was necessary is true, but he did not
bargain for . J Lewis banging home
stiff uppercuts every time he got an
opportunity as Til .broke clean. This
went on for several rounds bef ire
