Roosevelt had a more cosmopolitan
taste IN sport and pasJi=sss than any other
President His activities ranged from
tennis and walking to jIu jitsu and bear
hunting The tennis cabinet became a.
famous as Jackson's so-called kitchen
cabinet Roosevelt met Ambassador JUS
serand, Of France; the Bishop OF London.
and other distinguished personages on
the tennis court. He rode horseback with
Prince Henry, Of Prussia, and Gen.
Brugere, Of France. He played at singFs
stick with Gen. Wood, fenced with a
French expert boxed with Mike Done
van, and engaged in bouts with wrestling
experts.
There were two sports in which Col
Roosevelt took no stock One Of these
was golf. which he regarded as an old
woman's game. IN this respect Taft is
not carrying out the Roosevelt policies
The other sport eschewed by the Presi-
dent vas fishing. He probably did not
have sufficient patience TO engage in It.
although he subscribed 70 some OF Izaak
Walton's philosophy.
Cleveland was probably the most con-
spicuOus fisherman who ever occupied
the White House. He was slow and
ponderous in thought, word, and deed,
and the sport just suited his tempera-
ment Another favorite psstime OF the
late ex-President was duck hunting He
fshed and hunted al many desirable
points along the Atlantic coast. always
with considerable success. Among his
/ fav0rite companions on such excursions
were Secretary of War Lamont Ad-
miraI Fighting Bob" Evans. Admiral
I Lamberton. Gen. Alexander. OF South
i Carolina. and Joe Jefferson, the actor.
I Cleveland was the highest type OF
7 sportsman He never killed for the mere
7 love OF killing. although ne made some
very. credttable records He always gave
Z the game more than q fair chance. and
believed ii obeying not only the strict let
ter OF the game laws. but also 1he
high uuwritten code OF ethics of the
true sportsman. Most OF Cleveland's
outdoor life was lived away from Wash
ington. At the Capital he worked 50 hard
that he rarely had an opportunity 70

that the National Guard of the District

This practical work is calculated to
keep the interest of members of the Ma

community there are thousands of young

national defense and are willing to give
their services as militiamen They are
more attracted by the prospect of prac-

National Guards Summer Work

Preparations are under way for the par
ticipation of the District National Guard
In the army maneuvers this summer on
the New England coast. The plan In gen.
eral is for the District Guard to embark
here on an army transport under sealed
orders. which on being opened at sea will
disclose the exact destination of the
troops and the general plan to be fol-
lowed upon landing. Troops from New
York and Connecticut will be utilized in
these movements. which are designed to
approximate as closely possible the
actual conditions of rendezvous In time
of war.
This scheme of summer work for the
army and the National Guard is In line
with the new policy, which aims to pro-
vide a more expansive military arm OF
service for the government for use in
case of emergency. AS far as possible the
lessons of the Spanish war have been ap-
piled in the framing of legislation that
has been enacted in the meanwhile Un-
der the existing conditions II will be pos
sible to place in the field at single call
at least 10000 men, regular and voiun-
teers. all working on a single basis OF or
ganization. The purpose of these annual
maneuvers is to acquaint the militia force
with the methods Of the regular service.
Instead of the usual encampment for
drill in tent raising and camp guard and
the like there will be actual field ma
neuvers for the instruction of the officers
| and Individual soldiers in practical con-
ditions OF war work. One OF the most
| important items of this program. how
