OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELD
Dick Qurge, Once Well Known in This

Late Private Klchnrd llurge of tho
First Surrey rifles never was u Quit

at the half century mark, he enlisted
and dfed the death of a soldier, lie
was onco tho lightweight champion of
England, and was born December
19, 1805.
Dick Burgc was a name well known
to the light fans on both sides of tho
Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly
because of his remarkable battle with
Kid Lnvigno for the lightweight cham
pionship of the" world. Dick was sev
eral inches taller than the Haglnaw
Kid, uud he had a considerable ad
vantage in weight, but, much to his
surprise and that of tho Kngllsh fans,
he was knocked out In the seventeenth
round. He gave it good account of
himself before he fell, however, and.
there were times when the Kid had
reason to fear that he had taken on '
too good a man. After Burgo quit the
ring he became a fight promoter. That
was In 1900. He enlisted as a volun
teer In the British army In 1915 and
served with the colore for three jreira

Rulers With Business Instinct?.
At the outset of his Imperial career
the grandfather of t.he former German
kaiser,* Frederick William, owed hi*
accumulation of money to his com*
mercial dealings. One of bis commer
cial undertakings was to start milk
rounds. which did exceedingly well, la
spite of being carried on suj> rosa, for
the German, courtiers found that thp
Imperial favor was dependent upon
(heir patronizing the Imperial dairy.?
In this way the old emperor created
gubuge milk monopoly) in various cjtles,
and reaped a correspondingly large
profit. - Kaiser Wilhelm himself bid ~

dertakings. In Germany It was cur
