THE SPORTS OF PRESIDENTS

This is the sixtieth birthday OF
Woodrow Wilson, once the able short
stop OF the Princeton nine. 1t is
difficult to get a real line on the presi-
dent as a ball player. and, anyway, it
doesn't make much difference. because
there is no hope of any club getting
him, and he is too old for any regular
team, except possibly Minneapolis. or
course. the old boys OF Princeton now
swear that Mr. Wilson was a wonder
full ball player, but some OF EN- admit
that. while a great fielder he was
rather weak in hitting. He was never
given a trial by big league club, but
Connie Mack wasn't managing a team
then. The president is a keen base
ball fan. but golf now holds first place
in his affections. Being of Scotch
descent, it is natural that he should
take kindly to the "Scooch croquet,"
and he has developed into a fair play
er.
Mr.. Taft is also addicted to golf,
and like his successor. an enthusiastic
baseball fan. Colonel Roosevelt. while
he likes baseball. is fonder of football,
which he played at college, and would
The Fargo forum and daily republican., 1916-12-28

rather see good boxing match than
any kind Of ball game. The colonel
is still able to put up a good argument
with the gloves. He lis fonder Of doing
than seeing, and of all sports his fav-
orite Is hunting. President Wilson
holds a Virginia hunting license, and
most of his predecessors were fond sof
the sport but the colonel surpasses
them all as a nimrod. Washington
and Jefferson. and a number of the
other early presidents, were deer
hunters, but Roosevelt Is the only Oc-
cupant Of the White House who has
bagged lions, elephants and other big
African game.
Washington. Lincoln, Garfield and
Cleveland were enthusiastic anglers
but Cleveland was the most ardent OF
the presidential disciples of old Izaak
Walton.

CONSUMPTION
NOT IMPOSSIBLE
FOR CANADA
tBy Associated Press J

Ottawa, Ont, Dec 2S.--In a letter
sent to organized labor, Premier Bor-
den said that the proposal for national
service is not connected with conscrip-
tion but rather the idea was to max 9
an appeal for voluntary national serV-
ice which would render unnecessary
any resort to CONSUMPTION. He de-
clined to give assurance that under no
circumstances would conscription be
carried out in Canada, asserting:
IF conscription should prove the only
effective method to preserve the exist
ence of the state, l should consider 1t
necessary and should not hesitate to act
accordingly"
AS to conscripting wealth he declar-
ed: THE government has already act
ed on this principle. Any further pro-
posals in that regard must be submit
ted to parliament"
r. b. Bennett, director of national
service, has announced that 1t is obli-
gatory on every man in Canada to fill
in and return card giving his age and
social status and answering other
questions.
The executive committee of the Can
adian trades and labor congress has de-
cided that in view of assurances that
mo penalty or coercion will be ap-
Piled, members of all unions be recon-
mended to fill in and return the cards.

London. Dec. 2S.--A Reuter- dispatch
from Amsterdam says that the latest
German papers contain the federal
councils regulations regarding shoes
and clothing for 1917. They prescribe
that only two pairs of so-called shoes
de luze" will be sold on the turning in
of cast-off but still wearable pairs. The
utilization of cast-off clothing is to be
entrusted to communities which have
monopoly for the purchase of these ar

p ta 4
San Francisco fight fans saw a mem
orable battle between little fellows
twenty-four years ago, Dec. 2S, 1892,
when Tommy White and Billy Murphy
fought thirty-two rounds to draw.
Murphy, known as australian Billy.
had won the worlds featherweight til
tie from Ike Weir about three years
before he fought White. but lost 1t the
same year to Young Critic, who was
succeeded by George Dixon as cham
pion. Tommy White, a Chicago lad
known as ''the board of trade pet, was
never champion, but he was great
fighter.
The thirty-two round bout was moth
ing unusual for these boys, for Murphy
had fought forty-rodnd draw with
Johnny Murphy, and several other con-
tests almost as long, while White had
fought a ninety-one round draw with
Danny DAILY, and other bouts of forty
one, forty-eight and fifty-four rounds.
In fact, some of the longest and most
ferociOus of the ring combats of the
old days were between featherweights.
