TODAY - LlNCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

A recent writer on Lincoln as a "lover of mankind" has likened him to two other great men who have be- come a common possession of our Anglo-SaXon race Although they seem almost as far separated from each other as from Lincoln himself both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott reveal to the careful observer the qualities that provoked a comparison apparently so remote. These are the qualities of a lover of mankind.
 Chaucer displayed them in depict ing, with sympathy for all, the group of widely various characters who made their immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage together. Scott displayed them not only through the creatures of his inn agination, but also in his recorded re- lations with all his fellow beings. In that respect Chaucer is at a disad- vantage. because he lived long before biography had attained anything like its modern abundance Lincoln, later than Scott, and more tempting to bi- ographies because of his high place, is the most fully recorded of them all although there is no single book about him that seems so sure to per sist as the Life of Scott" by Scotts sOn-in-law, Lockharl.
 It is in the very variety and extent of the studies of Lincoln's character that the strength of his hold on the imagination of the world is shown. Many years have now passed since the great emancipator met his tragic death. Through all that period inter- pretations of his character-historica

analytical, poetical-have steadily in- creased in number The bare facts of his unique, yet strangely typical and significant career, arrange themselves in perspective like the acts of a great mythical figure, a King Arthur of the new world, a half-divine hero like those that we associate with the most distant antiquity.
 But he belonged to no such period. His age is one of the most amply re- corded in all history, and the records of his life are so intertwined with those of men and events quite with out poetic or heroic suggestion, that his feet can never be wholly removed from the earth Indeed, it is much better that no such possibility exists. We need to know that out of our com mon life can spring so extraordinary an example of the development of which our human nature is capable.
 When all is said and done, when his wisdom, his patience, his sacrifice are fully remembers, we shall delight pre- eminently to recall him as the friend ly, humorous, accessible lover of man. kind.

(Dy Dispatch A. r. wrel

NEW YORK, April 15.-Aspirations
of Mickey Walker to become double
ring champion, were revived today
with the completion of negotiations
by Tex. Rickard for the welterweight
title holder to fight Tiger Flowers,
Georgia negro, in 15-round bout for
the middleweight crown at the Yankee
stadium some time in June.
Approval of the match, which Will
mark Flowers first defense of the
middleweight championship he lifted
from Harry Greb less than two months
ago, willibe sought of the state ath-
letic commission tomorrow. At the
same time Rickard will renew his at
tempt to obtain official aid in signing
Jack Delaney to box Paul Berlenbach
for light heavyweight honors on June
10. os
Walkers two previous attempts to
lift championships of heavier divisions
won a newspaper verdict over Mike
McTigue in Newark while the latter
held the light heavyweight title, but
no decision laws kept the Irishman's
title safe. Last summer, Walker sought
to wrest the middle weight crown from
Harry Greb, but lost the judges de-
cision after a fiercely contested To-
round fight at the Polo Grounds.
The welterweight champion will de-
fend his title against Pete Latzo May
II, at Scranton, Pa.

Speaking of Jim Thorpe | saw the

while attending the whippet races at
st. Petersburg, Fla.
Jim looked almost the same as the
first time / met HIM some 16 years
ago. A trifle heavier, of course, for
he has passed the 40 mark; yet he
still looked every inch the athlete.
Thorpe had BEEN one of the football
players who tried to make Florida en-
thuse over the game long after the
camphor balls had been tucked away
with the grid suits up north.

comparison Of him with the latest
athletic sensation, Charley Hoff. ask

modest reply Certainly would like
to go back Is years and make the

It wouldn't be at all surprising if
several Of the major league clubs,
which have trained at the same place
in Florida for years, shifted their
camps next season.
While most Of the magnates are
pretty well agreed that it is hard to
beat the Florida climate for training
purposes, certain influences close to
the larger cities make them less fa-
vorable for training camps.
1t seems certain that the smaller
cities of Florida, able to provide prop
er hotel and diamond accommodations,
will get the preference in 1927.
Most of the ball players have a

are now three tracks in Florida. There

Two months ago Shuttle" Callahan
of Chicago was just prelim fighter.
Today he is a logical contender for
the welterweight title held by Mickey
Walker, of New York and points west.
The reason-he can hit.
The sport world likes the athlete
with SOCK regardless of whether he
is fighter, ball player or golfer.
Babe Ruth revolutionized baseball
with his devastating drive. While it
is questionable whether the trend of
the times toward home runs has help
ed the game, it is popular with fam
dom.
Regardless of where the New York
Yankees finish this year, and they
should be UP there if they want to be,
the club is certain to be colorful
1t is a team that boasts punch.
Aside from Babe Ruth, there is Lou
Gehrig, who hits the ball as hard and
far as Bambino, Bob Meusel and Tony
Lazerri.
These four players take a terrific
cut at the ball and homer is always
a possibility when they are up.

oatmeal is to give them the kind
they like.
Thus millions of mothers insist on
the Quaker brand. Children who or
dinarily don't like oats, take readily
to this rich and toasty kind.
Quaker flavor is due to exclusive
milling processes which took some SO
years to perfect. Processes, too, which
retain much of the "bulk" of oats,
which makes 1axatiyes less often
needed.
Thus protein, carbohydrates, vita

making Quaker Oats an excellent
