President Wilson's Tribute To Dead
Vera Cruz Heroes.

MT. secretary, KNOW LnaL the L00l-
ings which characterize all who stand
about me are not feelings that can be
expressed in eloquence or oratory. For
my own part. have a mixture of feel
ing.
"The feeling that is uppermost is
one Of profound grief that the lads
should have had to go to their death.
But yet / feel profound pride and
envy that they should have been per.
mitted to do their duty so nobly.
"Their. duty is not an uncommon
thing. Men are performing it In the
ordinary walks of life. but what gives
these men peculiar distinction is that
they did not give their lives for them
selves, but gave their lives for US be-
cause we, as q nation, called upon
them.
care you sorry for the lads? Are
you sorry for the way they win be re-
membered? I hope to God none Of
you will join the list; but If you will.
you will join an immortal company.
and while there goes out of our hearts
an affectionate sympathy for them, we
know why we don't go away from this
occasion with our hearts cast down.
but with confidence that all will be
worked out.
1--WE have gone down to Mexico to
serve mankind If we can find the way.
We don't want to fight the Mexicans-.
we want to serve them.
"a war Of aggression is not q thing
In which 1t is proud to die, but war
Of service Is a war In which it is q
proud thing to die"
The President referred then to the
cosmopolitan personnel of the victims,
II listened to the list" he added
with profound feeling, because they
were not Irishmen, or Germans, or
Hebrews when they went to Vera
Cruz They were Americans, and no
matter where their people came from
they did the things that were Ameril
can.
s'War Is only a sort of dramatic rep
resentation, a symbol of thousand
forms of duty. / never was in battle
or under fire, but fancy 1t is just as
hard to do your duty when men are
sneering at you. for when they shoot
at you they take your natural life, and
when they sneer at you they wound
your heart.
GAS think of these spirits that have
gone from US, know that the way is
clearer for the future. for they have
shown us the, way"
Thirteen Under ~.
In reading the names of the heroes
who gave up their lives at Vera Cruz.

Quoted by The Star, and it has always

LIGHTWEIGHT CLASS IN NEED OF
FIGHTER WITH KNOCKOUT PUNCH

well, this is all the evidence needed
regarding Wolgast's punch. Man1
will say that Nelson was too tough to
be knocked outlook at your record
book and note where Owen Moran
turned the trick.
Welsh "A Great Fighter.
Freddie Welsh is one of the grand
est fighters ever seen. He goes along
against all opponents and wins con-
sistently. His cleverness makes it al
most impossible to hit him. But when
he comes to the dreamland stuff
well, Freddie is not there, that's all.
If he could hit as we'll as he can box
he would undoubtedly be the greatest
lightweight the world has ever seen.
Britton Another.
Jack Britton is another lad that
wins consecutively over the decision
route, while his knockout victories
may be counted on the fingers of one
hand. Mcfarland. who has always
been fighting among the lightweights,
even though he is a welter to all in
tents and purposes. is another fighter
that can't muss your hair with all
the haymakers you are willing to let
him swing at your head.

WELSH ON
CHAMPIONS TRAIL
English Lightweight Announces
Willingness to Meet Willie
Richie.
JOE RIVERS IS OUTCLASSED

Los ANGELES. March 1S.-Freddie
Welsh, the clever English lightweight,
isa41ot on the trail of Willie Richie,
the lightweight champion Of the
World. Immediately after he had
been awarded the decision over Joe
Rivers at the Vernon Arena yester-
day the English boy announced that
he was ready to meet the lightweight
champion under any conditions the
latter might name. There is every
likelihood that the coast promoters
will, try to put on the match, for the
victory scored by Welsh over the
Mexican yesterday has increased his
popularity considerably. Efforts will
be made to stage the Ritchie-Welsh
bout on the afternoon of July 4
Welsh had little trouble with Riv-
ersss Freddie was in his best form
yesterday afternoon and was able to
hit Rivers at will Welsh won the
toss, for the corners and Rivers was
Aompelled to sit between rounds fac
ing the sun. In addition to this
Welsh kept Joe facing the glare dur
inA,the greater part of the bout. rms
did mot help the Mexican any, ana TO
add ITO his worry Freddie just kept
begging away with stiff body punches.
Rivers could not fathom Welsh at
allfand was completely bewildered by
his rapid footwork in getting OUTSIDE
the range of Joe's swings.
m the fifth round Referee Eyton
had to caution Rivers about using his
elbows when the boys were in close
quarters. In the thirteenth round
Rivers forced Welsh through the
ropes, but was unable to land any
telling blows

bona fide lightweight that can wade

very few checks are claimed for him.

KENNEL NEWS NOTES

An application has been placed be-
fore the American Kennel Club by
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals to debar all
dogs with cropped ears from showing
unless previously registered There
is really no reason for this cruel
practise, as all dogs, with the pos
sible exception of Great Danes, look
equally well with natural ears. With
the request of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
squarely before it, the American
Kennel Club can no longer evade
the issue.
Cash prizes will be offered by the
Long Island Kennel Club at it's four
teepth annual meeting on May /.
The total amount is to go to handlers

There will be a match at the Hoff-

1t possibly will surprise fans to
learn that Russell Ford, who has gone
over to the Federals, was in Walter
Johnsons class in one respect last
season, that respect being the per-
hitting of home runs. The Yankee
hurler allowed nine four-bag blows
to be struck by his adversaries. and so
did the man whom the Chalmers jury
of newspaper experts picked as the
player most valuable to his team.
Russ and Walt hit Most.
Ford and johnson were nicked for
more circuit clouts than any other
American League gunners. The play
ers who touched the Chalmers car
winner for homers were Frank Baker
