RICHARD CROKER. BY Alfred Henry
Lewis. New York: Life Pub. Co.
No more interesting book will come from
the press this year.
The life-story Of one of the country S
most remarkable men, told in nervous,
colorful English by the most skilful writer
among American newspaper men, it is a
genuinely human document.
1t is not a biography, in the true
sense of that word. The aNthor modestly
calls it "a sketch"-though it is something
more than that. 1t is simply book about
Richard Croker, so skilfully written that
Mr. Croker's friends and enemies alike
will find it rarely entertaining, as, indeed
will all others, even though they have
no particular interest in Croker personally
or in his reign over the Democracy in
New York.

Though Richard Croker is the subject
OF the volume. the author by no means
confines himself to the career and per-
sonality of Tammanys great cheftain.
There is a good story in the life of
every man." says Mr.. Lewis and boldly
pushing down the fence of conventional
writing he roams across the fields of
public life, making daring keen and
often merciless comments on whomsoever
he may happen to meet.
Among the first he comes up in these
delightful little excursions is Grover
Cleveland, whom he forthwith proceeds to
stick as full of shafts as a cushion is
of needles.
''It is my mind to give here some char
coal sketchings of this heavy late Presi-

ner given by the alumni club Of Uni
Versity of Chicago in honor of Professor
Stagg. The dinner was unique in many
respects, first of all for the fact that
1t was given in honor of man whose
football teams of the past two years have
known little but defeat. Dinners are US
ually given in honor Of victors not in hon
or OF the vanquished. Remembering this,
the dinner was further unique for the fact
that 1t was largely attended by young men
from almost every walk in life in Chicago
young men as impatient for victory for
their alma mater in the great sport as
any young men on earth These young
men stood up in the hour of speech max
ing and told ''Stagg, g,"-there is no use in
tacking on the Professor loved
him; that they might not be in sympathy
with all Of his ideals but that they loved
him. Words to the above import came
from men, who had fought and bled on
the gridiron under Stagg as their general
and from men who had stood on the side
lines and seen Chicago both win and lose
great battles.
Altogether the dinner speaks most en-
phatically of the position of influence
held by Stagg at Chicago. 1t shows that
Stagg is more than a man who can build
up successful football teams when he has
the material with which to build that he
is man who leaves his impress upon the
CudEdCler ana lie OF the men with whom
he comes in contact. To put it another
way, he is more than a mere football
coach. He believes in using athletics as
means of building character and in using
football as one of the great games in keep
ing up enthusiasm in all athletics Foot
ball with him is a means not an end. With
most so-called coaches football victories
are an end in themselves. Therein lies
the difference between Stagg and Williams,
and Hollister on the one hand, and many
who might be named on the other.
The Laugh on Harry"
At this dinner, by the way, Stagg made
| speech which quite unintentionalIy on
his part, turned the laugh on his friend
Harry. The Chicago professor of athlet-
les had occasion to mention DR.. Williams
and 1t is told that he did so something
after this fashion:
Now, there is Harry Williams. Harry
is a fine fellow and great coach. But
well, l have, known Harry for a long
time
The laugh was on Harry, and Stagg had
to wait until the crowd could quiet down.
after which he had more things in the
same vein to say; for Stagg is not tact
