Professional boxers. as a rule, have

come champion Of their respective

is no the case with Joe Shugrue, New
Jerseys sensational lightweight I'm
like other stars of the roped arena who
have accumulated fortunes In the ring,
Shugrue's aim In life Is TO become a
successful member of the bar after he
retires from the boxing game. 1t Is the
intention Of Freddie Welsh. on b 9TH
er hand, to become a noted physical
culture expert. such as william Null

Other noted boxers have been sue
cessful in other branches of business.
Packey Mcfarland has proved his abil-
ity to make a name for himself in the
business world already, being a bank
director. with large interests in several
big enterprises; Battling Nelson is a
real estate operator, Jack Monroe a
mine owner, Jim Corbett and Jimmy
Britt stars Of the footlights, Tom
Sharkey an owner of thoroughbreds.
and so on, but to Shugrue the legal
profession appeals more than any 9TH

Shugrue, on the advice of n Of his
admirers, q prominent New Jersey
lawyer, has decided to adopt the prac-
fica of law ne his profession after he
retires from the ring. Shugrue Is a
brainy lad, p~ersevering and courageous.
qualifications absolutely essential for a
man to become one Of the most sue
cessful boxers in the world. and 1t Is
the opinion Of his legal friends that a
fellow like Shugrue also would make
a good lawyer. Shugrue has been hav-
ing trouble with his eyes of late and
may be forced to retire.

about through the new ruling prohib-
iting the recall Of requests for waivers.
This rule was promulgated at the meet
ing of the National league last winter.
For some time this spring the problem
of disposing Of Ragan has been given
much attention. 1t was planned to
send the fame haired westerner to
Newark, and no trouble was antici-
pated. So a request for waivers was
sent out. which was granted by all the
clubs except Boston. Mr.. Ebbets, 1t Is
said, protested against the action OF
James f. Gaffney, but the latter APP
pealed to President Tener Of the Ma

gan sent to Boston.

advice of experts was obtained as
to the best method of compiling and
indexing this information. and the card
cross index system established is such
that if at any time the legion should
receive from the government a call as
to the availability of a given number
of chauffeurs, avi9tors or men of any
other special vocation it could immedi-
ately respond to that call, giving
names, addresses and exact qualiica-
tons of the number Of men required.
Suggested by a Traveller
"The idea of the American legion
arose from q suggestion made early
last summer by Z. d. Cook, a young
American adv%enturer, who was in Co.'S
ia Rica and wrote to Arthur S. Hoff-
man saying:
"'My belief is that some time within
the next ten years the United States
may find herself in a man sized fight.
l vote that all of US who are drifting
around and who would volunteer to
fight for our country when the need
came should begin right now to form
some sort of organization so that when
something turns up we should be ready
to volunteer in a body
"Mr. Hoffman published the letter In
his magazine. So many men respond
ed that General Leonard Wood was
consulted quite unofficially as to the
value of the notion. and then on March
6 the American legion was incorporat-
ed under the laws of New York state.
The first meeting was held March IL.
Cautiously enough, since the receipt
of his letter We have never heard from
Z. d. Cook, and we fancy he probably
has been killed fighting In Mexico or
maybe in Europe.
There is no politics in our legion
and no N to peace. Although
many branches may be formed, all ap-
plications for membership have to come
to national headquarters in the Mari
time building, 10 Bridge street, New
York city.
"On acceptance members sign an
agreement pledging them to the fol-
lowing obligations:
ITO report to the secretary of the
legion, by letter or postcard, four times
a year, on the first days Of January,
April, July and October, giving my
serial number in the legion and my
permanent address in full at that time.
"To notify the secretary promptly
of change of permanent address be-
tween these dates.
Annual Dues rs Cents.
"'To pay the annual dues of 25 cents
on the 1st of January of each year.
ITO wear the insignia of the Ameri-
can legion, to hold it in respect and to
do my best to persuade others who can
be of service to our country to enrol In
the legion The insignia consists of
an enameled button, a blue star on a
white field, on the outer edge Of which
is a red circle.
There may be a difference Of opin-
ion as to the extent Of preparation
necessary for our national defense.
There should be but n opinion as to
the wisdom of lessening our present
unpreparedness. No more conserva-
tive step in the direction OF advance
preparation than that advocated by
the legion has yet been devised"

OF the points were made during the first

on the part OF the Violet players. In

Not a Word Against
Rush BY ccton

D RINCETON's letter men at
l tended IA banquet last night
at the Hotel Martinique. 1t was
of necessity a rather quiet affair
and little was attempted in the
way of speeches. The coaches
refused to make any statements,
but the general opinion of the
managers and others closely as
ISOLATED with the team was that
n week had not been sufficient
to allow the men to recover from
the effects of the Harvard game.
Besides being u sever blight to
the Tigers championship hopes,
the Crimson contest was an in
tense physical strain on all the
men. Only two sub%stitutions
were made during the entire
game. The promiscuous fun
bling yesterday is attributed to
this. Not one word of criticism
of Coach Rush and his methods
was heard.
