NATION MOURNS The
LOSS OF HER LATE
BELOVED PRESIDENT
The Funeral Train After an Eventful
Run Across the Continent, leaves
Washington For Marion, The last
Resting Place Of Warren Harding.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Warren
1 Harding left Washington tonight for
ever. His short, eventful moment
of power and heavy career was end
ed. His eternity Of great rest begun.
Yesteryear the flooding tide of des
tiny bore him eastward to take up
/ the challenge of leadership the mil
lions of his countrymen had thrown
to him. Today, that tide ebbed back
westward again under the setting
sun. The singing rails bore him back
westward again under the setting
sun The singing rails bore him back
to the quiet town in Ohio whence he
came.
Great folk and small, in their thou
sands, stood silent and with heads
barred in the fading light of the even
ing, the dead president was gone.
But behind him there, in the halls
Of the Senate where he moved In his
happiest hours in the capitol, or a.
gain, here in the bleak lonely rooms
of the deserted White House where
Nwere passed the heavy days and
nights Of care that brought him to
his untimely death, fingered brave
memories such as he would be proud
tonight to know, filled mems minds
as they thought of him.
There were memories of Harding
the president; memories that dealt
with his devotion to duty, his loyalty
to those who worked with him his
patient, just use Of is great power,
his high courage in office, his utter
love. of country. But there were
other memories of Harding the man;
Harding, the kindly, thoughtful, jor-
Gus comrade and the friend of all
who offered friendship worthily,
Harding of the great heart and mod
est and simple ways no pride of place
could change. And these were the
memories treasured closest tonight
In the sorrowing hearts of Washing
bon.

NO. l4-THE EMPIRE OF THE UMPIRE

We present here some pictures
OF the umpire, showing how the
development of the national game
was indelibly stamped upon his
features. When the papers of old
were scornfully reproaching the
ball player for his professional
ism, the umpire, in frock coat and
top hat, was upholding the gen.
tlemanly aspects of the game. He
was doing more than that; he
was keeping safe distance from
any possible damage to his hat
from the fly ball. The umpire, in
days OF old, was statuesque and
had an eye for pose. The Beadle
Dime Base Ball Player for 1860
waxed eloquent about him. The
words are those Of Father Chad
wick: The position of an umpire
is an honorable one, but its
duties are anything but agreeable,
as it is next to an impossibility to
give entire satisfaction to all
parties concerned in a match"
But in the days of Sheridan,
OLaughlin, O'Day and Billy
Evans, umpiring has reached

DUSkY SCRAPPERS
READY FOR BATTLE

NEW YORK. November o0-Bat-
tling Sikh of France and Kid Norfolk
of New York, rival negro light-heavy-
weights, meet tonight at Madison
Square Garden In a fifteen-round
match. with the 175-pound negro title
at stake.
There is unusual interest in the
bout, as it will mark the American
ring debut of Sikh, who sprang To
fame by wrestling the world light
heavyweight title from Georges Car
pentier. only to lose II last March to
Mike McTigue on points in a twenty
round contest at Dublin.
The Battler. one of the most pic
turesquc of fstic characters. has
trained hard and is confident of vic
tory. Critics. however. believe he
will have difficulty taking the meas
ure of Norfolk. who is a rugged, hard
hitting opponent, though lacking in
aggressiveness.
