VETERAN BOXER

London, Dec. 1.--Jem Mace, the
noted old English fighter. died yester-

Mace was at one time England S
greatest pugilist and made. as he him
self termed it, barrels Of money in
the ring" Despite this he died almost
poverty stricken, and, about year
ago, was obliged to apply for public
old-age, pension Of hve shillings a
week.
Mace was born at Beeston, Norwich,
April 5, 1881, and for years before his
death held the reputation of being the
Oldest living pugilist. He prided him.
self ON being the man that the game
hadn't killed and attributed his long
eyity to careful living.
Mace began his career as a pugilist
when he was "a years old, his first OPP
ponent being a formidable English
boxer by the name of Slack, whom he
put out in the ninth round, after nine
teen minutes OF lighting. This was on
Oct. 2, 1855, at Mildenhall, and IL was
sufflclcnf to enable him to enter the
London lighting ring. His first OPP
ponent there was Billy Thorpe, whom
he likewise defeated in the eighteenth
round.
Mace continued his fights, meeting
all Of the leading English pugilists in
Guiding Posh Price. Bob Travers. Bob
Brettle and Sam Hurst, known as the
''Staleybridge Infant"
His next big fight was with Tom

title Of champion Of England.
He followed this and other English
victories with trip 10 America where

GRAHANE- WHITE
CROSSES POND

New York, Dec. 1.--Claude Grahame-
White sailed for England yesterday
with the Gordon Bennett international
speed trophy, which he lifted at the
recent aviation meet at Belmont Park.
Before the gang plank was drawn, he
gave d summary of the trend of ayia-
ton.
When we get speed of $50 to 200
miles an hour, the fun will begin" he
said. People are not going to adopt
flying as practical means of travel
until it has been made faster than
other modes of transit now i'm exist
ence. 1t will be perfectly possible for
passengers to endure any speed be-
cause they will be encased in flight
chambers, just as they are in vestl-
buled train.
America isn't so much interested in
aviation as Europe. There Is no con-
tinuous interest here. The people go
to the big meets just as they would
go to acrobatic exhibitions, and then
forget that there Is such a thing as the
science of aviation
Grahame-Whit thinks that with the
aeroplane's future development 1t will
make battleships useless, open the Sc
crets of all fortifications, no matter
how cleverly masked, and put an end
to war.

ROLLER BECAME
STAR IN HURRY

DIR. B. +. Roller is a practicing physi-
clan, graduate of the University Of
Pennsylvania Medical school, but has
abandoned his profession temporarily
on account of the wonderful success
which he has attained on the mat, and
of course, the attendant financial sue
cess that accompanies his career as
a successful wrestlerw.
Doctor Roller is marvel. 1t is on
ly four years ago this fall that he TOOK
up wrestling. His advancement to
such high place in the profession is
wonderful to students of the wrestling
game, who have maintained that a
wrestler does not begin to get real
good until he has been on the mat for
years. But when he wrestled a draw
in Kansas City with Zbyszko for two
hours and twenty-five minutes, they
were all willing to acknowledge that
he may be the exception that proves
the rule. That contest was stopped by
the police, because both men were so
tired at the finish that the police
thought is would be downright cruelty
to permit them to continue.
DIR. Roller has just returned from a
trip to Europe, where he went in
tending to make a wrestling tour Of
the continent and win the champion
ship there is he could. He met with
misfortune at the very start, a rib
breaking in the first match. He had
to give up wrestling and passed his
time at one of the health resorts on
the continent. recuperating and en-
joying himself.
His success in the, wrestling game
In such a comparatively brief career
Is explained by his wonderful ath-
letic ability along other lines. He
played football at college and later on
professional teams. Of which there are
many in big cities of the west. He
was a member of the professional
football team that won the champion
ship of the world in Madison Square
Garden in 1902.
DIR. Roller was born on a farm not
far from Newman, ILL.,, July /. 1876.
He worked on the farm until he was
II years of age. He was the athlete
of his vicinity and could defeat any
of the other boys in every form of
athletics in which they were inter
ested. He had confidence that through
his athletic ability he could get him
self an education, and started from
home with seven cents in his pocket
to enter the preparatory department
of DePauw University. Previous to
entering DePauw he had attended
the public schools and passed the
county examination. with an average
of IS per cent i'm ten branches. He
was graduated from DePauw with the
degree of B. S. in 1898.
In September Of that year he en-
tered the medical department Of Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, from which
he was graduated in June, 1902. He
won the Saunders prize of s100 in
gold for excellence in scholarship.
He was president of his class i'm
Pennsylvania two years, member of
the college glee club three years and
a member of the Phi Beta Theta and
the Skulls fraternities.
In the fall of 1906, when he took
the position of physical director for
the Seattle Athletic club. wrestling
had begun to take a firm hold on the
sports of the coast, due largely to the

Hackenschmidt's trip SO far has

Everywhere the big fellow is met
with great enthusiasm and as he has
been winning his matches with the

conclusion that he is going to get into

days have gone by. Hack has vet to
lose a handicap match and he has met

HACK and JACK
TO TOUR WORLD

II is now a known fact that If
satisfactory terms can be arranged
for the gigantic undertaking that
Jack Johnson, worlds fighting cham

of the greatest wrestlers the world
ever produced, will double UP within
six months and start on a comprehen-
sive tour of the world that will take

And 1t is highly probable too, that
Jack curley,. present manager Of the
Russian Lion" as Hackenschmidt
is known, which, it is calculated will
take UP the better part Of two years
and perhaps more.
In general idea the tour will be
modelled on that prepared for James
cumbed to the negro in the Reno bat
tie last July. However 1t will be
much larger in scope and take In three
times as many countries. The JEFF
fries tour was to have lasted only
about eight months. This one will
cover at least two years and possi-
bly, four.
The recent illness Of Jack Johnson
may cause change in the plans, but
1t is known that the Lion rs anxious
for such tour IL his present invasion
of America comes out as he expects
not in a financial sense, but from an
athletic viewpoint. FIackenschmidt
wants to defeat all OF the best OF the
American as well as all of the foreign
stars while he is in this country ana
IL he can do that he will be in a posi-
ton to claim the worlds title now
generally admitted to be vacated by
Frank Gotch.

that prestige, undertake worlds

Gotch. Doctor Roller devoted himself

He has thus far lost only to Frank
Gotch, who secured two pinfalls on
him, and to Henry Ordemann at Seat
tie and at Minneapolis last Monday.
He was made unconscious in the Sc

thus losing the decision.
He got decision over Gotch in a

to throw him twice in an hour and
he also got a decision over Zbyszko
in a similar match, the Polish
wrestler being unable to throw him.
He then made match on even terms
with Zbyszko, which took place in
Kansas City March %. They wrestled
2 hours and % minutes without either
getting a fall, and the police then
stopped the match, as both men were
exhausted. There were 10000 spec

He beat Fred Beel twice in Seat
