While he was in the White House,
Abraham Lincoln was shaved with a
razor formerly owned by general
Robert E. Lee, according to Joseph
Christian, Lincoln's valet coachman,
writing in McClure's for December.
Christian still owns the razor, which
was made in Sheffield in 1894 and
had been passed down in the Lee
family from father to son. He came
into possession Of it when he was a
bugler at Fort Carney, before the
Civil War. Lee was there as a lieuten-
ant colonel in the Second U. S.
dragons. One day while the young
bugler was shaving him, Lee told
him he could take his razor and shave
the soldiers.
Later, Christian shaved President
LINCOLN with the same historic raz-

M'TIGUE TO BATTLE
GREB AND LOUGHRAN

NEW YORK. May 2s-Mike Nc
Tigue is shooting at the moon. At
least, he is taking a dreadful chance
Announcement today that the new
light heavyweight champion OF the
world is to meet Harry Greb at the
Cub park in Chicago on June 90 and
thats he is to follow this with a
battle with Tommy Loughran at Phil
adelphia on June 25 carries an in
teresting thought.
Just examine those dates once
more. They are five days apart. Now.
it doesn't take that many to get from
Chicago to Philadelphia in the ordi-
nary course of events what with
train service restored to normal. The
point is that the arranging of those
two bouts on those two dates and the
carrying out of the engagements do
not constitute an ordinary course of
events
Harry Greb is no slouch. Mike
will have his troubles in Chicago with
the windmill boxer. who not so very
lonG ago was this country's light
for the fact that the Chicago affair
is to be a no-decision match it
wouldn't be a bad bet to take the
short odds in a wager that Tommy
Loughran will fight a fallen idol on
June 25. Funny things do some
times happen in no-decision scraps.
Loughran is q. tough bird. as Greb
himself discovered last winter. Be
sides being tough, Tommy Is ex-
tremely clever. For McTigue to take
the second dose so soon after the
Greb affair is, in the opinion of the
gram.
OF course. though, If Mike beats
them both he will be considered quite
come slick boy.

Off in their training today for their
ten-round bout here tomorrow night.
e. Leonard. who has trained here, has
been made the favorite despite the
opinion of some expert judges that
he is not in the best condition.
Mitchell will come here tomorrow
from his home at Milwaukee, Wis.
Information from there is he will
have no trouble making the 140
pounds at o'clock as agreed on.
Aside from its championship fea-
lures. tomorrow nights bout will af-
ford an opportunity for testing the
stringent Illinois anti-priZe law,
which has forced the ring sport from
the state for twenty years. James
Mullen. the promoter. will submit to
his case will be taken to the supreme
court If he is convicted in the lower
courts.

of IS, $40 and SIS.
1t will be Leonard's first contest
since last September, when he was
forced to quit boxing because of
trouble with his teeth. Mitchell. the
younger brother of Richie, who has
given Leonard some hard battles. won
his last-two fights by knockouts, his
most recent being at Louisville. Ky.
the night before the Kentucky derby.

JOHNSTON NOW HAS
WORLD net CROWN

ST. CLOUD. France, May 2s.--Wil-
liam M. Johnston of California now
holds the hard-court tennis cham
pionship of the world in mems sin
giles. He defeated w. Washer of Bel
gium yesterday in a match that went
five sets, 4-6, 60. 6-2. IS, 6-3.
Mile. Suzanne Lenglen. after de-
feating Miss Kathleen Mckane of
England in the women's singles,
S-3, 6-3, got through the wom-
suffering from a recurrence of the
heart trouble that caused her in
convenience last year. There Is a
possibility that she will not enter
the Wimbledon tournament.
In the midst Of the mixed doubles
Kane she tainted. She recovered.
however. and with her partner. M.
Cochet, won the match, s-2, 1o-s.
Paired with Mile. Golding. Mile.
Lenglen lost the women's doubles to
Mrs: Beamish Of England and Miss
Mckane, 6-2, 6-3.
Johnston's sizzling forehand drives
made little impression upon Washer,
who had as much pace and length as
the American. The chief characteris-
tic of the match was the base-line
driving of Johnston, who apparently
had too wholesome respect for the
Belgian's placing ability to try too
much net playing.
Johnston, however, waded into the
fifth set apparently with a determina-
tion not to prolong the physical strain
further. He won his own service for
the, first game. and thereafter both
exchanged games on services until
the score was 8 all. Then Johnston
ran out three games and took the
match.

DEMPSEY PROVES HE
CAN DODGE PUNCHES

GREAT FALLS. Mont, May 2S.-
Jack Dempsey confined training at
his camp here yesterday largely to
making the little fellows among his
sparring partners miss. In the speed
lest bout the champion has been seen
in since he began training for his
bout with Tommy Gibbons at Shelby.
July 4. Billy Wells. the English well
terweight champion, set a furious
pace through two rounds.
Dempsey once caught Wells on the
Jaw with a left uppercut and sprawl
ed him on the canvas. He helped
Wells to his feet, and Thereafter MADE
no effort to hit him. He took all
Wells had and brought cheers from
the crowd by the frequency with
which he made the English champion
miss.
Dempsey's work with his heavy
sparring partners was somewhat
slower His underlip was running
trickle of blood when he left the
ring. 1t first showed when he was
boxing with George Godfrey, the
negro heavyweight.
Dempsey went ten rounds with his
sparring partners, the longest session
since he began training. He will leave
here today on fishing trip of sew
eral days.
