Improving on
History

/ just finished hearing Politician,
one of the Washington Boys, talk
on Abraham Lincoln. The only
thing could picture in common
between him and Lincoln was that
they had both been in Washington.
When a Politician aint talking
about himself he is talking about
Lincoln. Lincoln has had more
Public men speak of his good
qualities, and fewer copy any of
them, than any man America ever
produced. His famous address was
only about two hundred words
long. No Politician has ever been
able to even copy his briefnesS.
In fact that is the last one of his
qualities that they would try to
copy. Lincoln said more in those
200 words than has been said in
the entire City of Washington in
the last 10 years, and here is a
quality that no historian or speaker
has ever brought out before. At
the completion of the Gettysburg
speech, he wisely refused one of
Grants Cigars, and borrowed a
sack of "Bull" Durham from an
Ex Southern private, rolled his
own, got on his Mule and went
back to Washington.

BOXING MAKES
EXIT A I
GARDEN
CoIorfuI Sporting History OF
Ancient Building Gets
Last Chapter
BY SID MERCER.


NEW YORK, May 4.-Boxing
comes back to Madison Square Gar
den tonight for the last time.
Even as Diana trembles to fall
and the walls Of the ancient temple
of sport totter, the thud Of padded
glove on human flesh will be heard.
It is eminently fitting that box
ing show should close the doors Of
the old Garden forever. Entertain
ment in the famous arena varied
from the notorious revels OF the
pre- Volstead period to revival meet
ings, but it was as a setting for
great indoor sporting events that
the Gardens was best known.
Nearly all Of the modern boxing
champions have appeared there
since the place was rebuilt in 1890
from plans drawn by Stanford
White. John L. Sullivan fought On
that historic site when the first
Garden was a reconstructed rail-
road station.
Tex Rickard, the last Of long
line of promoters In the modern
Garden, was the only one to make
boxing pay there. More champion
ship battles were fought during
the Richard regime than in the
thirty preceding years. That was
because boxing was under a legal
ban most OF the time and title
fights were taboo when the sport
flourished briefly under the club
system"
Richard came in with the Walker
law and in the last five years has
paid out a million dollars in purses
at the Garden.
Tonight he stages his last show
there.
The principals are Johnny Dun
dee and Sid Terris. 1t is not
championship fight, but it is at
tracing unusual interest.
This is due, in a great measure,
to the popularity Of the youthful
ferris and the ageing Dundee, but
the brisk demand at the advance
sale box office window indicates an
underlying sentiment. Regardless
Of the fistic attraction, the average
New Yorker Of average attendance
at the Garden wants to be there
the last night. Old timers, espe-
cially, will be out in force.
Dundee's last stand at the Gar
den may be disastrous. The gen
eral impression is that Johnny i'm
posed too great a task upon his
physical resources when he con-
tracted to step twelve rounds with
the East Side phantom.
Terris Is a to l favorite and
those odds may lengthen. Still,
there will be many sharpshoOters
on the short end. An undercurrent
of smart opinion Is running strong
~ for the veteran.

ROPER GIVES INSTRUCTION.
TO MICHIGAN GRID SQUAD

ANN ARBoR, Mich. May 81
William Roper, coach OF the
Princeton football team, took charge
OF the Michigan football squad here
today for a weeks instruction in
football as it has been played for
the last few years at Old Nassau.
He brought with him Al Wilmer.
line coach and head basketbaH
coach at Princeton, and Nate Poe,
the latter of the family whose
name is tradition at the Tiger
school.
Coach Roper's fundamentals, as
shown in the drill, differ not at
all from those in vogue at Michigan
for years. His method Of teaching
forward passes and the actual
execution of the pass differed from
the Michigan system. while the line
play OF close ends. as instructed by
Wilmer, was quite different from
the wide play employed by Yost.
The three men win remain here

S ON e pitiful
domestic scenes
were enacted
yesterday morn
ing when brave
motorists kissed
their families
"good-by," and
stumbled out in
to the storm.
Six cases of
ventureson1e au-
tonlobilists were
recorded by the
registrar of wills.

The makers
didn't expect to die, but thought
their Jail sentences would sure
ly exceed seven years after
which the law counts you dead
anyway.
Anybody who wilfully took
his car down town yesterday in
the face Of family warning is
guilty of reckless driving prima
facie.
Surprised wives actually
swooned when they saw their
menfolk come home last eve
ming outside the custody Of a
bailiff.
They thought they were rid
of papa for thirty days at the
inside.
All-in-all these new traffic
capsules are not so hard to take
provided you swallow them with
water instead of alcohol.
But what they will be after
the police themselves once know
them is something that time
alone can tell.
The biggest coward in the
world swallowed six gallons of
asparin before taking the wheel
to make his courageous way out
yonder.
It is estimated by people not
in a position to know that be-
fore the week is out traffic will
be back to normal despite the
present temerity.
BY Saturday, everything with
four wheels will be out of the
garage again and squeaking de-
fiance to police and pedestrian.

Mrs. Smith flashed across the
golf horizon with a zip last fall
when in the tournament at the CO.
lumbia Country Club she won the
championship rather easily. Her
game was such that ii was freely
predicted that she would hold the
coveted title, which she snatched
from Mrs. E. r. Tilley. for many
years to come. When she declared
that she would again play in com
petition the statement came as a
surprise.
Mrs. Tilley, bronzed little wonder
of the Indian Spring Club, is in
disturbed frame OF mind. She has
been putting in many hours on the
Indian Spring links, perfecting her
game. with the expectation of meet
Ing Mrs. Smith and retaining that
title. AS matters now stand she
may repossess the crown. but the
satisfaction Of defeating Mrs. Smith.
IL such were possible, will not be
hers.
Mrs. Smith qualified for the
wOmen's championship with 81.
She had to meet three rafting
good players i'm Mrs. >. f.. Col,
laday, Mrs. Carolyn Warner, D.gu
Miss Susan Hacker, and she was
up on all Of them.
Mrs. Smith defeated Mrs. John F.
Dryden, also of Chevy Chase, in the
finals. The match ended on the
7 up and to go. She shot superb
victory was highly impressive.
Mrs Tilley, who rates the title Of
former women's champion of the
District, plays a flasher game than
Mrs. Smith, but she is prone to un-
steadiness. Since she has only been
playing the game four years, it is
possible that she may improve
with age.
The diminutive little star of
Indian Spring takes her golf Sc
riOusIy. She Is an interested
spectator at all golf matches, and
she jOts down in her memory
book the manner and methods of
the male players. When Roland
Mackenzie and Walter Tucker
man were settling their differ
ences OH the links in the Indian
Spring tournament she trudged
around the course to watch them.
Peter Jackson, Irish pro of In
dian Spring is authority for the
statement that Mrs. Tilley is per-
petually on the links in good
weather. Certainly she never got
that tan color in a drawing room.
Mrs. Dryden is another who will
have to be reckoned with. Mrs. H..
King Cornwell. who defeated Mrs.
Tilley last year, is another who
will be heard from. Pete Jackson
and Bobby Barnett say they have
many women golfers who are
coming along nicely enough to be
counted in at the proper time. And
then, there are the stars Of the
Washington Golf and Country
Club.
