FORMER TENNIS
CHAMP ENDS HIS
Life WITH Gun

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-(P-Despon
dent because of i'll health and the pros
pect of being chronic invalid after
years of outdoor sports life, William
Augustus Larned, seven times national
tennis champion, committed suicide
today.
His body, clad in pajamas, was
found in his room at the Knicker-
booker club with bullet hole through
the head. He was Sd years old.
Clubman, all around sportsman,
Rough Rider and aviator, Larned ended
a life which had been until recent
years rich in colorful activity. Inter
nationally famous as tennis player,
he was the first of the modern hard
hitters and volleyers to gain the peak
of the court game.
He was also crack rifle shot ana
an ardent follower of the fox hounds.
Rheumatism developing into partial
paralysis of the legs cut short Larned
TERMS career in 1911 after he had won
the national singles title five years
in succession Although obliged to use
cane in walking, he was apparently
on the road to recovery until IeW
months ago. A relapse resulted IN MS
doctors forbidding him to engage IN
anv outdoor activity or even to drive
his automobile. DR.. Boiling Lee, his
physician, said nervous breakdown
suffered two years ago was direct
cause of his act"

WHY U. $. BOXERS BEST

Heredity has played It's part in
producing new generation of box
ers in America, says Georges Car
pentier, who comedies to the other
side of the Atlantic a vast superiority
in the fistic game.
In the last few years, Carpenter
admits, the old "unbeatables" have
disappeared, but to take their places
have come new men of iron, them,
selves sons of fighters, who are en-
dowed above all with tremendous
ability to take punishment.
"That is all there is to ito take
punishment" Carpenter declared
"and the Americans are the grear>
est masters of that ability. Hit them
as hard as you can for eight, ten
or fifteen rounds; your arm will;
wear out and it affects them lit
tle."

walkers Unusual Feat

Unless my memory and all statistics
available are at fault, Mickey Walkers
feat In winning the middieweight title
from Tiger Flowers is without para1-
lei in ring history
Champions seldom come back in even
their own class after losing the title.
There are some instances In %hiclI,s such
n thing has happened, but ! caflbet re-
call a single case where fighter, after
i0sihs a championship in one division.
did the unRsHal by stepping into a
heavier class and Gepping the honors.
That is just what happened when
Welker received the decision over
Flowers in their recent fight at Chi
cago. There seems to be considerable
doubt as to the correctness of the de-
cislon, but Walker is again champion,
Champion Four Years
!, Walker won the welterwelght title
in 1922 from Jack Britton. Shortly
afterward he got into a lot of trouble
with the New York boxing commission
because of his refusal to meet Dave
Shade, and was barred in that state
Being under the ban in New York
kept walker from getting many big
called on to defend his title very often.
After holding the title for nearly four
years he lost to Pete Latzo at Scran-
ton in a hectic battle, which proved
conclusively that Walker had slipped
considerably.
Some of the experts went so far as
to say he was about through as a
hcadliner.
Greb Bout Costly
However, l am a trifle ahead of my
story.
In 1925 Walker settled his differ
ences with the New York boxing COM
mission and expressed a desire to meet
the late Harry Greb for the middle
weight title. 1t was hard for him to
make the welter limit and he was
positive he could defeat Greb
1T was my good fortune to witness
the meeting between Greb and Walker
in New York. 1t was one of the great
est fights / ever saw. Greb was in
top form that evening and although
Walker fought a remarkable battle,
he was decisively beaten.
The we1terweight champion saw
Greb throw a million gloves at him
that evening, and a majority of them
landed have always Thought that
Greb took much out of Walker that
evening and started him on the tobog-
gan.
Plenty of Confusion
After the Latze bout this year, which
cost Walker his title, he was knocked
out by Joe Dundee.
When Jack Kearns announced that
Walker was through with the welter
class and intended to set sail for the
middleweight title, the ballyhoo didn't
receive much attention.
Yet Walker, in few months, after
losing his title and later being knock
ed out by a welterweight contender,
steps into heavier division and
crashes to his second championship.
It is happening without precedent.
Now the question is, how shall we
rate Eddie Roberts, who recently stop
ped Joe Dundee in round the only
man to knock out Mickey Walker?

HIGH TRIBUTE TO THE
ABILITY OF EMERSON

(" . . = You know that EN-

inestimable value to the state as

The foregoing extract is from a
personal letter from Herbert Hoov-
er, secretary of in the
cabinet of President Coolidge, whose
career and accomplishments are so

source is very gratifying to the
friends and supporters of the Re-
publican candidate for governor and
serves to strengthen the feeling of
confidence in his ability which has
taken firm hold on the men and
women of Wyoming.
Long before he was first in the
public eye Hoover had achieved
world wide recognition as a civil
engineer, business executive and
builder. He had brought to a sue
cessful conclusion some of the
greatest mining and engineering
enterprises eve launched. He was

most remote quarters of the globe
as the one man having a compre-
hensive grasp of business and eco
nomic conditions which makes him
practically indispensable to the ma
tional administration.
Mr.. Hoover is a Republican, but
so little thought had he given to
politics during his years of pro-
gressive construction that an anus
ing situation was created six years
ago when the national Democratic
party seriously considered him as
presidential timber and started a
movement to nominate him for that
office which was only abandoned

To the Photo of "Wild BiII' Hickock
Where the glorious hill and the

On a quiet hospitable frontier town,
In the comfy inn where I go to eat
Hangs the face of a man I'd have
liked to meet.
He wears a hat that makes me think
OF Buster Brown in a suit of pink.
Yet l got a different sort of thrill
When somebody said, ooh that's
Wild Bill"
His curls are a perfect Mama's joy
On the head of a young rebellious
boy,
Yet his life was wild and hard and
grim
And death itself had no terriers
for him
The elegant droop of his long mus
tache
Gives no hint of a life of dash and
clash;
But his ugly gun was his favorite
pet
And I guess the trigger was al
ways set.
His necktie hangs with artistic lure
Like a Greenwich village caricature,
Yet he rode and fought and laughed
with the best,
With Buffalo Bill in the old time
west.
His eyes are quiet n rec from
guile
With a hint of a Mona Lisa smile,
Yet if I believe the tales they tell
He had no fear of heaven nor hell.
In all that frontier hostelry
There's naught so kind and mild
I see,
Yet they say he was always ready
to kill,
A two-gun man was old "Wild Bill"
If in future years your lifelong
fame
You wish to keep, run true to your
Never, I'm sure my story shows.
Have your picture taken in Sun
