THE ROOSEvELTS
FOND OF ATHLETICS

Vigorous athletleism appears to be a lead
ing characteristic Of all the members of
the family of President Roosevelt They
take naturally to the strenuous life OF the
man who delights in adventure that prom
ises danger. and nearly all Of them seem
to be endowed by nature with the physical
qualities necessary to the attainment of
distinction in the rougher forms of sports.
They appear to be endowed with the same
traits of daring that irnpels the President
to hunt the most formidable of Wild ami
mails and to risk his life at the bottcm of
the seas in submarine 5oa-.
Several relatives of the President have
recently come into prominence in various
forms of athletic endeavors, and there Is
small question that their achievements
yield pleasure to the chief executive.
Among those who have brought them
selves TO the attention of the public by
reason of their athletic prowess is Theo-
dore Roosevelt Pell, a cousin OF the Presi-
dent. Young PeIi is giant, towering q
feet inches, and weighing 100 pounds
He Is vigorous fellow. absolutely fear

lumbia he made quite a reputation as a
broad jumper. and also competed in the
pedestrian events Later on he took to
tennis and has achieved considerable sue
cess. Last year, with ii. r. Allen as
partner, he won the national indoor dou-
bles, and he and Allen are now competing
at the Seventh Regiment Armory in the
same event.
While he has not az yet broken any rec
ords, still he is always ready for q con-
test and Is an enthusiastic performer In
any branch of athletics ne engages in

gigantic athlete Of that family. He stands

that event In the interscholastic champion
shin OF New ENGLAND on SOltiier4 Field
with the excellent performance OF feet
101z inches. He is also base ball player
of skill. and is candidate for the fresh
men team. He played regularly on the
team of St Marks school at Southboro,
Mass. and was noted for his effective hit
ting. He Is still a youngster. and promises
to develop into one of the best athletes In
college.
