Americas prospective Olympic
boxing team took on a more def

trail of preliminaries last night were
counted two National A. A. U. cham
pions and an intercollegiate title holder
in the scattering of former contenders.
In an evening of six hours of steady
battling. which saw the pick Of the
country's amateurs start out In quest OF
eight places on the team, three such
outstanding favorites as Dennis Flynn
of New Orleans, Richard Garter of New
York and A. B. Wertheimer Of Buffalo,
N. Y, were tumbled into the discard.
The upset of Flynn in the 160-pound
division stood out in the opening Of the
three-night program, which Will END
Saturday. A. A. u standard bearer in
his class and ranked far above the rest
of the field, Flynn lost on q second
round technical knockout to Ray Bo-
hannon of the United States Navy.
THE Annapolis man listed a terri1c
Il right-hand punch as the chief
item in his repertoire. but 1t
found its mark enough to floor Flynn
three times and bounce the Loyola
University boy into the ranks Of the
defeated. Game and willing, Flynn was
a badly beaten fighter when the bout
was stopped
carter, husky little Negro, who holds
the 126-pound A. A. U. title, and
Wertheimer, intercollegiate king in the
same division, saw their team chances

from Detroit, took Carter's measure by
passing out a first-class boxing lesson.

The Akron.

The report Of the congressional COM
mittee which has been investigating
the construction of the Akron. giant
United States airship, is greeted with
satisfaction by the American public
1t categorically denies that there are
any structural faults In the worlds
largest lighter -than-air craft and holds
that, except for being eighteen thou
sand pounds overweight, the ship is
f1awless. The committee report will
set at rest the various rumors that
have been going the rounds in regard
to the condition Of the newest addi-
ton to Uncle Sans Navy.
It Is well, however, that Congress
took cognizance Of the rumors. They
had attained widespread circulation
and it needed prompt action to squelch
them. Big airships, with probably the
single exceptions of the Graf Zeppelin
and Los Angeles, have not been con-
spicuously successful, and when charges
are made that the biggest one of them
all has serious structural defects, due
to sabotage, faulty material and poor
construction, they assume significant
proportions. All Of these charges have
been effectively answered, except, OF
course, the one regarding overweight,
by the report of the committee, which
was made after exhaustive study.

his course. Brilliant as were his
achievements. they were dearly bougnt.
There is nothing unique In this; 1t
Is the unfailing record OF all those
who through the gateway OF service
have sought to give their pest Ior tne
enrichment of their fellows. There are
few lessons that we need to learn more
completely today than this one nameiy,
that the gateway Of all opportunity Is
beset with difficulties. Were tniS not So
we should grow soft and nappy. AT
tainment would be so easy as 70 De
quite unworthy of us. This mas ltS ap-
plication to every phase ana aspect OF
our life. but it has striking appnca. /.
tion with respect to the attainment OF
the finer virtues Of character. The
Master never promised men that it was
an easy matter to grow a soul. He re-
peatedly affirmed that if any man would
come after Him he must take up ms
cross daily and follow Him. To His
own disciples he gave no assurance
that their ministry was to be marked
with favor and popularity. Theirs was
to be a hard and difficult task, and TO
many of them 1t meant ultimately mar
tyrdom. From that day to this Chris
tian faith and practice have called into
action the strongest and stablest quail
tiles In mans nature. AS a matter OF
fact, 1t has been the expression OF these
qualities in those who have served the
Christian cause that has constituted
their strongest and most compelling ap-
peal. Men are not drawn to a great
service through the weakness OF It's
exemplars. That there Is an oppor-
tunity today for, militant Christian
faith and practice Is most evident. The
course Of events is more largely affected
by example than through precept. The
men and women who believe in the
life and teaching Of Jesus and who hold
that these teachings bear vitality upon
all human concerns have an oppor-
tunity for service quite Incompatible
and unequaled. If in these critical days
finer demonstration may be given to
the world Of the practical value Of
Christian faith and practice, we shall
witness such a revival of religion, such
fresh exhibition of helpful Christian
service as we have not known for gen.
erations past. A great door and effec-
tual Is opened unto US, and 1t must be
entered, however beset with difficulties
1t may be.

The New York Express Highway.

The city Of New York Is open to con-
gratulations, strange as 1t may seem in
view Of the shocking exposures regard
ing Tammany the political organizatio
which bosses" the metropolis. But
credit must be given where credit is
due and the laudation is about an en-
tirely different matter It concerns the
opening. the other day. OF new link
in the fine elevated automobile express
highway that eventually will run from
Canal street to Seventy-second street
along the banks Of the river. 1t was
only a comparatively short time ago
that the visduct from Canal street to
Twenty-third street was opened and
New Workers celebrated the occasion
f1ttingly. The opening of the second
span, from Fifty-ninth to Seventy
second streets. leaving only the link
between Twenty-third and Fifty-ninth
to be completed, was made the event of
the city's latest celebration.

style Of 1891. But 1t refused to do so,
and thus it left the trophy open for
future contests. The fact that the
United States won the next year, which
would have given it three consecutive
victories and possession of the cup, is
not without its significance. =
Now that the races are completely
over" it remains to be seen what steps
will be taken, here or elsewhere, to in
augurate new series of speed events of
the air. That England is SO far ahead
of other nations in speed with q record
of better than 408 miles an hour should
act as a spur for serious consideration
by France, Italy or the United States
to the plan of promoting international
speed contests. 1t is hardly conceivable
that other countries would be willing to
sit supinely by and permit England to
get so far ahead in the vtally important
development of fast planes that there
would be no hope of ever catching it.
Already the difference between England
and the United States can be realized
when it is remembered that the fastest
American plane has done only 2S6 miles
an hour, which would be like a match
between a freight train and an express
In view of tie British record Of 400
miles an hour.
A good start has already been made
in this country with the creation Of q
foundation of S16,o0O,OO0 which will be
devoted exclusively to develop speed
in American planes. This is fine work
and should be continued. America is
the birthplace of aviation and should
seek to assume undisputed leadership
with its riRhtful heritage.

Roosevelt Stock Greatly Strengthened by
New Hampshire and Minnesota Results

that most Of Mr.. Roosevelt's managers
and enthusiastic boomers both in New
Hampshire and Massa achusetts, are Cath
olics. Half of the delegates elected this
week are Catholics, it is stated.
Indications now are that Mr.. Smith
may not have more than 100 delegates
when he enters the convention, if he
goes through with all the primary con-
tests planned on his behalf. He will
have majority in all probability in
Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, the
solid New Jersey and Rhode Island
delegations, probably a few from Chi
cago, a handful from California, and
that is all now in sight One hundred
delegates will not provide him the vot-
ing power to organize a strong offensive
IN the convention, as the Roosevelt men
see 1t. They put Smith about on a par
with Ritchie, Garner. Robinson, Byrd
and Murray, each with a few delegates.
The Roosevelt leaders doubt whether
even half Of that lineup OF favorite-
son delegates will enter a hard and fast
alliance to deadlock the convention
against candidate with even half the
delegates Rather, 1t is their belief that
the Byrd, Garner and Robinson votes
will turn to Roosevelt rather than op-
crate in a purely defensive and OBJ
structive movement.

The recent announcement by Sir

Commons, that the Schneider Cup
races, blue ribbon speed event of the

postponement to allow Italy to get

thereby chalking up three successive

almost exactly the same situation pre-

There isn't any news today"
Since then the world has run a course
Through plunder, panic and divorce,
Which seems to shatter every scheme
From politics to loves young dream
None is too great and none too small
To hear the loud, relentless call
OF Notoriety whose name
Has overshadowed honest Fame.
Fame patiently kept plodding, while
The gossip moved in Haunting style.
The tickers talk, the headlines wave,
Confusion runs from gay to grave.

The gateway of opportunity is beset
with difficulties. As there is no royal
or easy road to knowledge, even SC
there is no easy or royal road to life's
largest and best opportunities. All at
tainment is marked by struggle. Pur.
suing the line Of least resistance may
be appealing, but it has no warrant
OF successful attainment.
In a letter written to a Young anc
struggling church the heroic st. Pau
speaks of a contemplated visit to his
immature and uniformed disciples In
a city in which he had met with much
opposition. Nothing daunted by his
mishaps, he affirms as his conviction
that 1t presents a great door ano
effectual. but he adds. And there are
many adversaries." We doubt not that
the very conditions he faced in his
contemplated visit and ministry served
not only as a challenge to him, but an
invitation to increased effort. His
whole attitude Is characteristic OF
those whose life service has beer
marked by real accomplishment and
compensating attainment. It is quite
universally true that
1.-THE heights by great men scaled
and kept
Were not attained by sudden fight
But they while their companions slept
Were toiling upward in the night.
We all too frequently credit mer
with being the favored of good fortune
those who are the willing and recep-
tive victims Of happy and fortunate
circumstances. The record of those
who have served best, who have at
tanned the highest degree of efficiency
is wholly out of consonance with this
theory. They paid the price. and il
was an exacting one, for what they
gained Of opportunity and advantage
We think Of such a favored son as
Washington as being born at q time
