"He Served Mankind"
The great keynote of Theodore
Roosevelts life and success was serv-
Ice" said Senator Poindexter. "He
served mankind. He was a teacher
and exemplar Of work and action. He
found rest and recreation by passing
from one form of exertion to another.
No man ever made fuller use of the
mental and physical powers with
which he was endowed than Roose-
welt He put his talents to work. and
the result was Q great harvest of
benefits for his time and generation
and for those to come.
Having gained power he abused 1t
not. but guarded 1t as trust, and
cherished in his heart of hearts 10y
atty to his obligations. He was greater
than his Office. Great as is the Office
of the presidency, and there is no
greater, Roosevelt commanded il. 1t

Concluding, Senator Lodge said:
Theodore Hoosevelt's ideal of pub
lie service was to be found In his
life, and as his life drew to It's close
face to face. All his sons went from
him to the war and one was killed
upon the field OF honor.
'This is not the place to speak Of
his private life, but within that
sacred circle no man was ever more
fortunate In tbs utter devotion or a
noble wife ana the passionate love
OF his children. The absolute purity

BELTS WILL BE AWARDED
 TO BOXERS
Radical Changes Proposed By New BOard-0ther
 Ring News.

Belts similar to those given by Lord Lonsdale in England will be presented to champions, according to a statement made by Adam Eli, sec retary of the new Army, Navy and Civilian Board of Boxing Control, III a long letter received at this office today. MT. Eli is soliciting the opinion of various sporting writers throughout the country on a number of radical changes that the Board proposes to make in boxing as it is now being conducted.
 The Board, according to Mir Ei intends drawing up regulations whereby every titleholder will be forced to defend his belt at least once in d stated period. The Board further suggests that this period be one year, but there are a majority who will favor its being changed to every six months, which Is the case in England.
 Accompanying the circular is a lengthy questionnaire intended for the sporting editor to answer and return his answers and opinions to Secretary Eli. They will be discussed in detail in another column by the sporting editor as soon as he can give them due consideration. However, 1t may interest the reader to know that the new Board advocates the following weights and classes

BUSIEST WEEK OF SEASON IN STORE FOR SPORTS IN CONNECC
BY
 ROGER TERRI

TT ROUGH Tex Rickard has literally \ choked newspaper offices with press matter concerning the proposed Jess Willard-Jack Dempsey cham pionship bout and in his stories has emphasized the alleged statement of the champion that he will defend his title over any route, today there came from out of the West a report that the former Kansan cowboy will not consent to a long battle. This may or may not be true.
 Tex said a month or so ago that he had secured Jess signature to an agreement whereby that battler will have to travel over any route satis- factory to the promoter. And we don't believe that Tex was kidding himself or the public when he made that statement. Therefore, the ques- ton arises: Is Willard weakening?
 If the report is true-and only time will decide-Willard has no more in- tention of defending his title than we have of bucking up against him. But we would hate to picture Jess Will Iard's future were he to run out of the match Rickard has arranged for him.

E RANKLY, WE will say that there l are no less than five promoters in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Milwau- kee, Boston and Jersey City-who would bid for such q match. Benny and Willie have been training each other for bouts for the past two years. They are both hustlers, but so long as Benny has started some thing it is up to hinr to finish.
 Whether Bagley or Jackson will consent to a bout with Valger re- mains to be seen upon the return of the two to New York within a few days. But Benny means business. He believes he can defeat Jackson and IS so confident, in fact, that he is will ing to give away as many pounds as Willie wants. Here's what is sup posed to come from Benny's lips:
 "I know Willie Jackson's style of boxing, for I have been working with him for many months. I rather like his style. too. but I earnestly believe that can wallop him. I mean busi- ness and will spare no effort to force him into a match

MT HEN A BOXER deserts a man W ager it-usually is the prac- tice of the departing battler to obtain revenge on his former pilot by fore ing a former stablemate into a match And Benny Valger, the clever French man, who recently left Doc Bagley for Joe Jacobs, is no exception to this rule. Benny got peeved because Doc went to the Coast with Willie Jack son and left him behind in New York to shift for himself.
 And now Joe Jacobs-ambitiou and energetic as he is-is flooding the country with literature in which Benny is quoted as wanting @ match with Willie Jackson, his former stablemate. Willie and Benny have been pals. Why Benny should pick on Willie is problemahcal, but that's nothing in young Jacobs life, so he's going to plug the match.

M Ew YORK baseball fans will ex- " pect a great deal from Alex Fer guson, formerly star hurler with the Bridgeport club. Although Alex re- ported to the Yankees only late last week, the metropolitan scribes are already predicting many nice things from him.
 This practice of lauding a player high into the clouds is all well and good and makeS-some times-very good reading, but 1t isn't fair to the individual baseballer. The public will expect too much from him and the least blunder will turn all the good things that have been said about him into ridicule and abuse.
 Let's wait and see before standing on a soap box and yelling. It will stir the player to do his best without fear of d!sappointi-g anybody by not liv- ing up to expectations.
