has written about Theodore
Roosevelt has paid tribute to
Ahis versatility, but I will
wager that few. if any, of them
knew that he had a thorough lnowl~
edge and understanding of the In
dim sign language and could CON
verse" in it. One OF the pleasantest
and most vivid memories of my life
Is of a visit to the White House,
when President Roosevelt carried on
8 conversation with me in the sign
language Of the Blackfeet Indians.
I was astounded and delighted at
this exhibition.
My visit was made in April, 1907,
in response to an invitation from
President Roosevelt to give an ex-
planatory talk, with musical illus
trations on the piano, Of my Indian
opera, "Poia," which I had recently
finished. This opera was based upon
a legend Of the Blackfeet Indians of
Montana.
1t was to obtain the material and
background for this work that
lived with the Blackfeet, the most
primitive Of any tribe in the United
States. They hold to the customs
and traditions Of generations long
since dead.
As I explained 70 Mr.. Roosevelt

IN OR the better part of the six
years during which John J.
~ Knewitz led the Republicans
In The Bronx there was
well defined group Of men in the
party who believed that its guidance
could be In better hands.
These men met from time to time
and talked Of possible successors to
Chairman Knewitz. and talked of
WAYS and means Of deposing him
And they generally did most of their
talking about this time of the year,
when the county committees of all
parties throughout the state are re-
organized in accordance with law.
And they first began talking and
planning in 1915, just before Leader
Knewitz came up for reelection for
the third time. And their talking
and planning ended in-the reelec-
ton Of knewitz. So again in 1915
hey talked and planned, and 1917
found them still at it, and i'll 1918
they continued their talking and
planning.
1t was in 1918 that women in this
state exercised their newly con-
ferred privilege of suffrage for the
first time. And the women Of The
Bronx went out to the polling booths
and enrolled. And y, 400 women
enrolled as Republicans, which, when
compared with their male partlsans,
who were enrolled only to the extent
of 17,177, was very creditable
showing. Then the Republican
women Of The Bronx anxiously
awaited the returns OF election day,
which, when scanned, showed that
the Republican vote had not in
creased in proportion.

ARMY HEROES IN BIG TRACK
 MEET IN N, '.

A monster athletic meet in which the victorious American army ath- letes returning from France can par uclpate upon their arrival in New York, may be arranged by the Anna teur Athletic Uniona sort of welcome home meet. According to letters just received by Frederick Rubien. secre- treasurer Of the A. A. C., the members of the team are all very anxious to compete in such a meet here shortly after their arrival Col Johnson, who had entire charge o1 the arrangements. for the Inter-Allied games and Col. Thompson, who ac- companied the American team abroad are both in favor of such a meet, and it is likely that it will be arrang- ed
 The date of this meet will. of course, depend upon the team's ar rival here. Col. Thompson has just promised to cable Secretary Rubien just when the team is expected to arrive in New York, and then the local A. A. U. head will set the date for the games.

Joe Jackson has the Yankee pitch CTS terrorized. Beginning in the tenth inning of the second game on Wednesday, Jackson was passed in tentionally four times in succession. After getting complimentary walks three times yesterday, Smallwood tried to put one over the plate and Jackson cracked the ball against the right field wall for a three bagger.
 Manager Huggins planned to pitch Carl Mays yesterday. He was in uni form on the Tank bench when the order came from Ban Johnson that the pitcher was suspended.
 If Johnson wants to run the Yankee club to suit himself, he will first have to buy out the two Colonels. Ruppert and Huston.
 Every little whileEddde Collins makes a play which brings back forci- bly the fact that a few years ago Manager McCssaw said Edward was the greatest player in the game. If Collins has changed since that time 1t Is for the better. Yesterday, in the third inning, Baker smashed a red hot hopper between second and first Collins knew he couldn't reach 1t and

GOLFER
 DIDN'T KNOW WHO
 LARRY LOJOIE WAS

Wouldn't you think that Larry La joie would be known to any one with an ounce of sporting blood in him. In his home town of Cleveland? Well this thing happened to the king of second basemen:
 Larry decided to become a golfer and a member of a Cleveland golf club invited him out to try his hand. Larry wandered onto the links with a set of clubs and started at it on his own hook.
 The professional in charge of the links overlook him and informed him that no outsiders were allowed. Lar-s ry explained that had been invited to the links and that several members would vouch for him. The man in charge looked him over and asked: What's your name?"
 My name," said Larry slowly, ''is La5oie-Napoleon Lajoie in full.''
 "Oh, well." exclaimed the inquir- CT. somewhat taken back. Why didn't you say SOL

 IN FLAG RAGE

A change of scenery doesn't make any difference to the Americans They lost another contest yesterday when Worcester trounced them by to in the Massachusetts city. Eddie Len non was given a fine facing by. Wor- cester, the Bostons chalking up 12 hits. Bill I.ai was the only Bridge porter who had any success with the stick. He landed on Bach. the Wor- ces.er boxman, for two Safeties.
 The Americans move on to Pitts field today. Manager Grimes will probably send McKenty against the HiIlies, who are climbing rapidly just at present. The twirling staff of the Americans appears to have gone to pieces and something must be done about it.

ALLEN PUTS
 REIMER AWAY
 IN 9TH ROUND

Red Allen of Bridgeport defeated Bobby Reimer of New Britain in the latter city last night in the sixth round of a scheduled 12-round bout for the lightweight championship of Connecticut. Tines crap was stopped by Referee John Willis after about one minute of fighting in the sixth round, when Allen had his opponent hopeIessly beaten In the semi. final go John Shugrue of Waterbury won from Sapper Conan of Bridgeport in the fourth round. Referee Willis re- fused to allow the bout to go in spite of the fact that Conan was on his feet at the time. It required the services of ring officials to prevent Conan from continuing theb attle.
 The firt two rounds of the main bout were even, Reimer and Allen spending most of the time feeling eacR other out. In the third round Reimer reached Allen for several left hand punches to the body and had the Bridgeport boy holding on most of the time. The start of the fourth was all Allen but ReImer came back strong by virtue of infghting and the round ended with honOrs even.
 In the fifth honors went to Allen, who repeatedly rocked Reimer's head with left hand snashes. In the sixth and final round Allen uncorked a fusLade Of right and left swings to the head and Reimer went down on on knee for the count of six He tried to rise but Allen punched him at will and the referee stopped the bout.

 EiEETING TODAY

Saratoga, Aug. 1.-The annual mid summer meting of the Saratoga Rac- ing Association will get under way here today, to continue until Satur- day, Aug. 31, with 26 days of racing The Spa is prepared for one of the biggest meetings in its history. cer- tainly the best since the sport was resumed in this State a few years men have been here for several days and hundreds are expected today from New York. The late arrivals will m cluSe those who remained to the end of the Empire City meeting.
 The purses offered by the Saratoga Association are greater than at any previous time since the days of open betting, and all the leading steppers in the East will measure strides be- fore the meeting at the Spa comes to an end. The opening day card, as usual. is a highly attractive one, with the Saratoga Handicap as the fea- ture. This is q mile and a quarter event for three-year-o1ds and up- ward. ana among those entered are Purchase, War Cloud, Corn Tasscl, and Fairy Wand. The two-year-ol,ls will have their oportunity in the Flash, at five and half furiongs.

keep his feet, so he plunged at the ball and fell on it as he would on a football. He was up in a jiffy, untan- g1ed the ball from his arms, and threw Baker out at first.
 Pat Ragan learned yesterday that he could not join the White Sox after all. It seems that Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburgh has found a rule which gives him the right for first call on a player released outright by another club in the National League. By waiting until a player is released, in stead of claiming him by the waiver route, Pittsburgh saved the waiver price, and the White Sox lose Pat Ragan.
 If President Johnson refuses the Yankees reuest to lift the suspen- sion on Carl Mays. just watch out for yome fireworks. Colonel Ruppert is apt to get mad about it. and there win be O showdown

TENDLER READY
 ID TAKE 0n
 BENNY LEONARD

New York, Aug. 1-FolIowing the Willard Dempsey, Beckett Goddard. Carpentier-Smith Britton-Lewis bat ties. and the matches between Leon ardCHne, Herman-Sharkey O'Dowd- Britton, O'Dowd-Greb and others, comes the announcement that Leon ard will defend his honors against his most formidable rival, Lew Tend Ter of Philadelphia. There has been almost continuous discussion anent this match, and there is not the slightest doubt that 1t would prove the greatest maCnet in the history of the lightweight class. Tender has improved in so marked a manner in the past year that his admirers now regard him as ripe for a battle with the champion.
 Billy Gibson yesterday said he was willing to sign articles any time the Quaker southpaw is ready for the joust. The only condition Gibson i'm posd is that the contest be one of 15 rounds to a decision, which could be staged either in Connecticut or Maryland.
 Because Gibson had not made any resonpse to repeated challenges from the Tender camp the Philadelphian and his friends became imbued with the belief that the champion was not eager for a test of skill. As the champion through his manager now has indicated a willingness for a meeting, 1t will be interesting to note the next move of the challenger.
 Weight does not seem to cut much of a figure in championship matches these days. Kilbane went out of his class and was stopped by Leonard. Wilde boxed Lynch and Moore and still lives. Leonard fought both Lewis and Britton and came through with flying coIors. Leonard also talks of fighting O'owd. Britton will Dfght O'Dowd, and O'Dowd is said not to be averse to a match with empDsey.
 O'Dowd's manager more than var ago tokingly informed the mid dleweight that he had eben matched with Fulton. "Pll sto phin," was O'Dowd's laconic response. The mid- dleweight champion believes he would have a chance with Dempsey.
 Johnny Dundee has selected an at the Armory A. A, Jersey City, next Monday night. Mel Coogan, one of the ablest lightweights in the game, Is to oppose the Italian, and it can be depended on that Dundee will be called on to use all his resources.

COLGATE: WILL HAVE: BIG YEAR
 ON GniD!n0N

Oneida, N. Y. Aug. 1-The Colgate University Athletic Association, at Hamilton, has announced the football schedule for 1919, as follows:
 Susquehanna at Hamilton, Oct. f; Brown at Hamilton. Oct. II; Cornell at Ithaca, Oct. IS: Princeton at Princeton. Oct. 25; Dartmouth at Hanover, Nov. 1; Rochester at Ham, ilton, Nov. and Syracuse at Syra- cuse. Nov. 15.
 The football game that will attract probably the most interest in this sec- gate and Syracuse clash in the Arch bold Stadium at Syracuse. Another big game will be the one on Oct. II, when Brown and Colgate will meet on Whithal1 Field at Hamilton.
 Brown is coming to Hamilton this year as one of the special attractions of the cente nnia1 celebration which Colgate is planning for Oct. g, 10 and II. Larry Bankart, famous Dart mouth and All-American end and head coach of the Colgate team for three years, is working hard to put strong team in the field. E. c. Huntington. Jr, field coach, is one of the best quarterbacks Colgate ever had, and he landed on Walter Camps All American team. Captain D. Belford West, All-American tackle in 1916, would have graduated from Colgate in 1918 but for the war. He attended the first officers training camp in 1917, received a commission, and went overseas.

 sey make his a three round circus?
 It wasn't so very long ago that the East dominated both maor circuits With the exception of the White Sox who won the pennant in 1917 the Western end of the American League has enjoyed no triumphs since the Detroit Tigers finished on top in 1909. The Athletics were the conquerors in 1910. III, 113 and 1914, while the Boston Red Sox carried off the honors in 1912, 1915, 1916 and 1918. Last year the Cubs won the National League az for the West. But after the victory of the Chicago club in 1910 the East predominated. with the Giants winning in 1911, 1912. 1913 and 1917, the Braves scoring in 1914 the Phillies getting there in 1915 and the Brooklyns capturing the prize tr 1916.
 Today the Western clubs are uu- usually strong. The East is repre- sented by only two formidable ma chimes, the Giants and the Yankees If one or both of the New York clubs fail to come through with a winning fight, there will be much gloating in the Western cities. For many years the West has been jealous of the East, but the tables seem to have been turned with only the Giants and Yankees capable of standing off the enemy. F'urth ermore, the New York teams must carry on the fight sin gle handed, for the reason that the other Eastern teams can provide little or no assistance. If the championships go Vast this year, therefore, the New York clubs can blame it on a lack Of cooperation by the other clubs in the East
 Billy Miske, the St. Paul heavy weight, will be idle for some time, as he is confined to his bed under treat ment for hip and spine trouble As boyM islze was a cripple, but gradual ly overcame the affliction by work in a gymnasium. His physicians say that he will again be in shape, to fight in few weeks, but for the pres- ent he is strapped to a board and must subsist on milk diet.
 Incidentally Miske brands as a bald fake story recently circulated in the ring. He ayers that he doesn't stand in awe of the new champions terrific punch and hopes to obtain another match with Jack as soon as he Is able to fight again.
 Silent Charlie Harvey, Ted Lewis manager, expressed his pleasure over the Lewis -Britton match as follows viz, to wit:
 They've only fought nineteen times." pipes Charles, "and believe me, although Britton is champion, the better man is still in doubt. I'm for the old timers anyway. Give me Ward and Vokes, Harrigan and Hart, Howard and North, Mcintyre and Heath, Lewis and Britton. Old wine, old shoes. old friends. That's me all over"
