Unbeaten Chdmpioni
That's the old dream,
Old as the suns
Or the red stars that CLEAN;
Old as the Uorld is,
Old as all time;
Old as the meter
OF this tagging rhyme.
Unbeaten Champion!
So Jefries said
When from the highSOdy
OF battle he sped;
That's What they all say
On through the gears,
While they still daily
And look to the cheers.
Unbedten Champion!
Each in his turn
Springs the old story
That no man can learn;
Just one more battle,
Then out Of the game;
Unbedten Champion?
What is his name?

The Unbeaten Dream

As for remaining an unbeaten champion,
retiring with the title intact--t can't be
done.
Jim Jeffrios overwhelmed all opposition
and withdrew. The California bear re-
mained away from the field for four or five
years. But they lured him back and he
finished with his face in the rosin
Jack Johnson was another who was to
retire before he was beaten The big Zulu
was never to know the cOnqueror's heel.
But he also fell for the one last fight. "
And against supposedly raw product the
big black finished on his back with his face
upturned to a Cuban sun
There are o. least three things in the
way of any champions retiring unbeaten
before he is forced from the top:
First. The vanity that all champions

Cans, Nelson, Wolgast, Ritchie, Welsh,
and now Leonard Just how does the new
lightweight King compare with the others?
This is a query that our old pal Doc Time
alone can answer.
Leonard, of course, isn't a Cans. Not
yet, at least He hasn't the rugged capac-
ity of Nelson, nor yet the savage, tearing
in smash of Wolgast. lie may not be one
OF the great lightweights, but he is very
good, and he should be quite a trihe better
later on.
Just figure this in: Within few months
he knocked out two OF the best lghtweights
in the game, and in less than ten rounds.
To turn these two tricks he needed the
punch. He can hit and he can box. There
are few who have been any faster. Whether
or not he has the rugged capacity to last
as many of the others did is still to be
proven. But outside Of Johnny Kilbane
there Is no one now at hand 10 give him
an even battle. And II is a very doubtful
matter whether or not Kilbane can master
him. A melee between these two should
round out the best engagement of many
years, providing they swing in line over the

He can hit himself.

He can keep the others

Dope is dope, but facts still remain facts.
The Red Sox are a veteran machine Most
of their athletes are we'll along in years or
in campaigns. This has been a rough, cold
spring, where the veteran il supposed to be
at a disadvantage. Yet the Red Sox, usually
slow-startng club, have drawn the
swiftest start of their historic careers
What, II any, is the snappy reply?
Colonel Damon RuByon rises to this re-
mark: In naming the games greatest first
baseman, just how Is any one going to leave
out Stuffy Mclnnis?" Stuffy hasn't been
quite as great a hitter as Pop Anson and
not quite as great a fielder Hal Chase
But he outielded Anson by many miles and
has outhit Chase by number of Leagues
To prove that any single first baseman ever
had anything to spare over Stuffy is entirely
too intricate an assignment for this late in
the week.

ceased to be a thrilling interrogation.
1t must needs be relegated to its

painfully and unanimously obvious:
EVeTybOdy's got it. Not one measIy,

three, four and then heaps more.
There's a perfect epidemic of but
tons. Like the measles or a spring
rash. Every coat, suit, frock, blouse,
cape and sweater is rashly broken
out with them. No one has an eye
for hook any more. We are all just
looking to buttons as a means of fas-
tening on fashion.
The long, straight lines of the
present popular coat gowns and
chemise frOcks are just pie for but
tons. They are buttoned up one side
and down the other. Some are put
ting their best buttons forward and
others, turning their backs on them,
use them nevertheless to back them
up. The long, tight sleeves are often
trimmed in odd small buttons from
the elbow to the wrist, while those
that are widely cuffed have two or
three large and unique buttons fas-
tening the cuff.
Shawl collars, roll collars and just
any kind of collars at all bristle with
buttons. They launt them openly

Now the new buttons are square,

They are concave, convex, cubic and
