Il beg your pardon he observed, with
courteous intent,
When through a gap that broke their
ranks he most politely went.
For he believed that football should be
made q harmless game,
That men should hold theif tempers and
not maui and bump and main.
Somebody seized him at the knees and
threw him to the ground:
Quite clever" was his first remark when
his lost breath he found.
"Oh, thank you." he observed when from
foeman came the bail:
He grasped it just as i've Of them upon
him CHANGED to fall.
I'm much obliged" he murmured when
At last they let him rise;
His nose was bleeding and a ring Of
black marked both his eyes;
His shoulder had been wrenched. and
some one had jumped on his neck,
But still suave. he took his place, a
Chesterdeldian wreck.
Again they surged together and again
they threw him down.
Their heavy shoes biffed all his ribs; with
pain they made him frown;
"1'n get up now" he gently said; they
said they guessed he'd not
And then his plan OF gentleness he to-
tally forgot.
He bumped himself. he lifted up, he
threw them right and left,
He tossed them here and there with
movement marvelously deft;
He kicked somebody In the shins, he
stuck his elbow out
And caught a man upon his ribs-and he
gave up the spout.
He grabbed the ball and started on-a
trail Of teeth and hair
And tattered sweaters marked his course
and showed he had been there
The laurels twined about his brow will
never, never wilt,
But often. as he thinks Of them, he has
q sense Of guilt.

Washington, July S.-4A nation
wide movement to petition President

presidential candidate is being back
ed by large number of Republican
office holders who feel that they
face defeat in November unless the
breach in the party can be healed

gress, members of state legislatures,
which will elect senatrs, state and
county office holders and party can
didates.
If the movement to petition Taft
to withdraw succeeds In gaining any
volume 1t is said these S,Ele men, in
the interest or p.-sy harmony, will
ask Col. Roosevelt also to withdraw
as prospective candidate for the
Independent nomination anu form a
compromise selection of some man
agreeable to both factions Of the
party. 1t is the desire of the pro-
moters of the scheme that the de-
cision shall be reached before August
s.. when the Roosevelt faction plans
to hold convention in Chicagfio.
The circulation of petions, 1t was
declared today, would start within
a week The movement Is in The
hands of several well-known meem-
bers of Congress. They are being
aided by some of the extreme Roose-
Welt Republicans. The enlistment of
the National Progressive Republican
organization in the movement has
been sought and it was said may CO.
operate.
In the circulation of the anti-Taft
petitions an effort will be made tn
get them signed by those whoy have
stood BY the president as well as by
citizens who have occupied neutral
ground. There will be no efforts tt
