DICK G<EZLA HID

Two sons and a grandson Of three
presidents of the nation who are now
In college bid fair to make names that,
while they may not live in histOri-
cal tones beside those wrought by
their sires, will show that the progeny
of our rulers are by no means anemic
lads, the Philadelphia Press says.
There is Charlie Taft, who was the
precocious youngster Of the White
House when his father, now Prof.
William H. Taft of Yale, was presi-
dent. Charlie has turned this pre-
cocity into athletic achievements and,
at the alma mater of his father, bids
fair to make good. He is an adept in
football, baseball and basket ball and
has made good. He is a varsity man
in basket ball and will probably be a
regular on both the football and base
ball teams next year.
Newell Garfield is the grandson
of one of our martyred presidents.
Already at Yale he has won perma-
nent place on the baseball team as a
candidate for pitcher, and while young
Garfield went in for football, the base
ball chaps kept him away from the
gridiron in order that his good arm,
or wing" might not be injured.
Then there is the youthful Dick
Cleveland, now a freshman at Prince
ton. This son of the late Grover
Cleveland is a hummer" as the ath-
letic coaches say. In Exeter young
Cleveland not only played rafting

Dick played fullback on the Tiger
Cubs that defeated Yale.
1t is not beyond the realm of the
impossible that for the first time in
the history of the nation the lineal de-
scendants of three presidents may
meet in a single athletic combat, when
Yale and Princeton meet on the grid
iron at Princeton next year. Cleveland
cannot, it seems, fail to make the or
ange and black varsity, while Taft
and Garfield will probably be members
of the blue backfield.
The presence of these lineal de-
scendants of our rulers, in athletics
bespeaks much for the virility OF the
youths themselves, and for che
strength and manliness with which
they were endowed by their sires. 1t
shows that the chief executives of our
nation have sons worthy of their sires
and kin that is able to win its own
place in the field of personal achieve
ment. For in athletics man makes
his own mark; there is no royal road
to success. 1t matters not how puts
SAINT your family, if you have not the
stuff yourself you do not make the var
sity. In this light, the nation may
well feel a tinge of pride in these
youngsters, who keep alive the best
traditions of their sires' success by
the manner in which they have won
laurels themselves.

THE BUILDING

The Natural Pride of Those VINO
Take Part in 1t.

To those who have built railroads

empire of grain and cattle, horse ana
sheep with the worlds markets in the
east, must be awarded the privilege
Of looking upon their work, and Its
results with pardonable pride. If they

the buffalo roamed and fed, are now

Earms-large and small-on which
machinery has chased the bugaboo OF
laborious work off the farm. and max
ing farm life one of the most pleasant
and prosperous Of occupations-are
being cultivated by men Of the highest
stamp Of manhood. Many Of these
have inherited from their forebears
the physical strength and the high
type of manliness that was theirs In
the days when they hewed their homes
out of the virgin forest, and made
them what may be seen today, beau
tiful farms in the east. On the whole
the western prairies breed high type
Of manhood, wrest from him faults

feeling of pride that took possession
Of Sir Donald Mann, vice president OF
the Canadian Northern Railway the

Ing the young men of Canada, every
young man, to get out and get piece

"It was So years ago when l first

time there were less than 10000
people west Of Lake Huron in Canada,
and the only bit of railway In opera

HOCKEYS BRIGHT STAR
Great Interest Being Shown in
Sport of Ice Skating.
Hobey Baker, Former Captain Of
/ Princeton, Football Team, Fairly
DazzIes Canadians by His Bril-
liant Performances.

There was no sport of the year
which enjoyed a better season than
ice hockey. This stirring game awoke
from a slumber that had lasted
through several seasons and made an
appeal to sport lovers which was
heard throughout the land. 1t is fair
to say that never before were so many
persons interested in ice skating, and
more especially in hockey.
New blood and new interest was in
stilled into the game when the Boston
Athletic association joined the league
and entered a team in the champion
ship series. Not since 1900, before
many of the present enthusiasts knew
there was such game as hockey, has
a club outside of New York made a
bid for popularity in this league
The Boston team made a fight for
the championship that will live in the
history of the league. 1t lost in the
final game against the St. Nicholas
the second consecutive season. The
Bostonians beat the st. Nicks in a
game in Boston, which, incidentally,
was the only game the champions lost
all year.
The two leaders were the only teams
to win more games than they lost. The
Hockey club and the Crescents were
tied for third honors, with three vic
tories and five defeats. The Crescents
played an uncertain game all year. AT
times they rose to great heights. and

HOBBY Baker, Hockey Star.

then proceeded to plunge into depths
The Hockey club got off to bad start
but finished well. The Irish-Americans
were consistent in any event They
lost seven games and won one.
Harvard, although defeated by Dart
mouth, was rated as the best team in
the colleges. 1t beat Yale and Prince
ton. Yale defeated Dartmouth in de-
cisive style.
HOBBY Baker, former captain of the
Princeton football and hockey teams,
and the star player of the st. Mich
olas team, was the sensation OF the
hockey league. He scored IS goals dur
ing the season. In an international
game with the All Star team OF Mon
treal, Canada, which ST. Nicholas won,
Baker fairly dazzled the Canadians by
his brilliant work.

GIRL is CHAMPION SWIMMER
Miss Marguerite Brack Of San Fran
cisco in New York to Take Part
in Indoor Meets.

Miss Marguerite Brack of San Fran
cisco, champion girl swimmer of the
Pacific coast, is in New York to spend
the winter, and will take part in most
of the seasons indoor meets.
Her appearance in competition Will
be watched with interest. Although
her best sprinting performances do
not compare favorably with those OF
Miss Olga Dorfner of Philadelphia, the
American record holder, she has to
her credit a quartor-mile mark OF
7:05. which brands her most dan
perous rival at the distance to the
sneediest fair natators in the coun-
try.
The presence of Miss Brack in the
important metropolitan contests Will
give them national rank, for Miss Dorf.
