TAFT DECLINES TO
VIEW SUFFRAGETTES
President Prevented From See
ing Pageant BY Business.
Wife Will Occupy Box.

President Taft will not view the great
woman's pageant here March 3. This
announcement was received at suffra-
gette headquarters today. Responses
from the White House to the invita-
tions sent to view the pag cant from
specially constructed box in the grand
stand opposite the Treasury steps were
received today. Mr.. Tafts answer ex-
pressed regret that business engage
ments would prevent his taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity provided.
Mrs. Taft sent her acceptance of the
invitation to suffragette headquarters
this morning. She will occupy the
specially constructed box with a
party of friends.

but ii has been understood all along,
the women say, that the President
elect and his party would not arrive
here until late in the afternoon, or
when the pageant is practically all
say, the invitations were sent as mat
ter OF courtesy and there is less regret
at his not being present.
Do Not Expect Marshall.
There was considerable discussion at
headquarters today about the attitude
of Vice President-elect Marshall and his
family in the matter of viewing the
pageant. No response has yet been re-
ceived from Mr.. Marshall Mrs. Helen
Gardener said, however, that as Mr..
Marshall was considered reactionary
and Mrs. Marshall was an "antf" there
was probably little chance that he would
accept.
There is genuine disappointment in
headquarters, however, over the fact
that President Taft has refused. This
pageant will be historic" said Mrs:

the largest of the kind ever held. That
the President should dignity it with his

SAMLANCF ORD
APPEARS To Be
LOSING SKILL
Showing against Jack Lester
Proves That Co|ored Boxer Is
Slipping, Thinks Expert.
Bv w. W. Naughton.

Il .
CeAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-The
Sam LangfoTd who defeated
Jack Lester at Taft the other
dav bore small resemblance to the
compact, active Langford of a couple
of years ago. When he stepped into
he oil fields arena Sam was as fat as
A Christmas shoat and sported a John
r, sullivan wrinkle on the back OF
his head.
Sans work was also unlike the
work he used to do. Remembering
the wav Langford settled Jim Flynn
and others with that right uppercut,
II was to wonder how Lester put up
with so many punches of that partic-
ular brand.
There were two ways of explaining
IT, Either Sam was inclined to be
lenient with the Gle Elum hope or
Sam has lost some of his driving
power. 80.
Looking at the chunky negro in the
broad glare of the afternoon sun,
where there was fair opportunity Of
gauging his purposes from his &C
ions. the writer concluded that Sam
was trying all right, and that he was
simply una BILE to deliver the goods IN
his old, accustomed style.
Conscious Of Fault.
Sam knew that his failure to put
aUav easy to land -on Lester decl-
siveiv called for an explanation, and
s he passed out of the ring he told
the members Of the small group OF
field correspondents that he was
bothered with adipose tissue and
found Il hard to remove. Sam at
tributed his rotundity to the long sea
son Of inactivity he experienced in
Australia, but said that he. hoped to
one down his proportions by rigor-
Gus training In the very near future.
1t NAV be that Sam will be able to
reduce to his former weight, but at
nat the chances are he will never be
as good as he was before he went To
Australia. This thing of putting on
flesh, in the case of an athlete OF any
kind, is bad sign. 1t indicates that
a man is going to seed.
The history of pugilisn teens with
stories of crack fighters who failed to
make good once they began to grow
seeut When Charles Mitchell trained
for Jim Corbett at Antasia Island,
down Florida way, he dubbed with
delight every day as his weight grew
less >,fft' - 9hS
Mitchell finally redaeed himself I'M
til he looked like Mitchell of old but
that was about all he accomplished.
While lessening his poundage he les
sened his vitality and he was defeat
ed in what was undoubtedly the poor
est fight of his career,
Sullivan, Too, Failed.
John L.. Sullivan was a fat man
when he began training for Jim Cor
bett. BY dint Of hard work he con-
rived to make himself look compare =
lively slim. out he had the same ex-
perience as Mitchell. Removing flesh
meant reducing vitality, and Sullivan
'ost to a man, who did not have to
take off fat.
The chances are Jim Jeffries suf-
tered in the same way when he sweat
ed off SO or 60 mounds If excess fat
and came to look as much a fighter
as possible when he faced johnson.
These are but few instances, and
simply quote them because the men
mentioned are SO we'll known. When
ringman begins to get stout and
admits that the surplus does not re-
spond to hard work as readily as in
former years, he is getting to the end
of his tether.
