Boy" can hear old Man Riv- CTS saying, just as though he actually said it, Boy, I came pret- ty near being . champion once myself"
 Now the scene rolls back 2i years. Under a hot July 4th sun, at Vernon, Calf, Joe Rivers and Ad WoIgast are to battle for the lightweight championship of the world. The crowd does not realize that it is about to see one of the widest and strangest fights ever to be seen within those ropes. No Back PcdaIing Jack Welch was the referee. He called the slim dark panther. Riv- CTS, and the blond block of q man that was WoIgast to the center of the ring for instructions. They didn't need instructions. They knew they were there to destroy each other. That was all that mat tered to them.
 As the bell changed they walked to the center of tho ring and stood | toe -to-toe, belting each other with all their power. Neither took | backward step.
 Wolgast aimed his attack ct the | brown body before him. Rivers played for the Michigan Wildcats iron jaw. Wolgasts ear was ripped open, and Rivers poured punches on 1t with cruel regularity. Rivcr8' own stomach changed quickly from tan to red under Wolgagt's pltilass pummcling. Az they went on. round after round, neither yielding n step. it began to be apparent that these men would fight on until one or the other went down. Ono or the other had to fall.
 Az 1t turned out, they both fell.
 Tide Turns
 Tn the tenth, eleventh and | twelfth rounds the tide turned to- ward Wolgagt. but 1t was hardly l enough margin to make victory sure. Rivers was forced by tho overwhelming ferocity of Vol gast's attack to break ground. In the thirteenth Rivers leapcd ! from his corner facing the realiza- ton he must knock this man out | to win. He swung n terrific right 1 hand that landed an inch too high i for knockout. WolRan was knocked back off balance. but he rallied and charged. As he came in Rivers put all his powcr--and | he was one of the hardest hitting lightwcights the ring has known into another right.
 Az Rivers let it go Wolgast sunk a swishing left low into the Mexi- cans stomach. Rivers fell. writh- | ..tN Nol. Hsnf across the roper, almost rolling out of the ring.
 Both Claim Foul Referee Wclch hcsItatcd. Then | he helped Wolgagt to get up. The crowd as ono man broke into a roar as Wclch started to count over Riycrsi
 Joe was on his feet before 10 had sounded, and Wclch hardly had uttered tho final count when the bell changed ending the round. Az the two men sat in their cor nera each cIalmcd foul, W01gaEt declaring Rivers knee had hit him below the belt ns he sank 10 the floor.
 II waa almost time for the bcil 10 ring for the fourteenth round when the referee walked to the center of the ring and held up his hand for silence.
 Then hc pointed to champion's corner, md the words rang out: "Wolgast wins b" il knochout.'

Sacred Book had been provided for the oath
Washington's second Inauguration, in Philadel
phia, was less spectacular than the first. When
John Adams was inaugurated in the same city In
1897 Washington was the dominant figure. He
was retiring from public life, and the people had
eyes only for him. Many of them cried. Adams
VIGOROUSLY vain and jealous, was much EN-
barrassed. And just as Adams Presidential ca.
reer began In disappointment, so 1t ended. He
was so enraged by his defeat In the election that
he refused to attend the Inauguration of JEFF.

for Massachusetts early on the morning of In.
auguratIon day.
Jefferson was the first President inaugurated
at Washington. Despite the picturesque tradition
of his horseback ride to the Capitol. critical re.
search dIscloses that the author OF the Declare
ton OF Independence did not ride. He went afoot,
which was Democratic enough.
The installation of James Madison In 1909
was attended by much more ceremony than
attended the Inauguration of Jefferson. The day
was ushered In with salutes Of cannon. Madison
rode to the Capitol In a richly appointed carriage,
escorted by troops OF militia.
The first inauguration to be held outdoors
was that of Monroe. Two reasons are assigned
for the change: the enormous crowd that Mt.

the senate could not agree over the distribution
of seats In the house, where 1t had been Gus.
tomary to hold the ceremony.
John Quincy Adams refused to attend the In
auguration of his successor Andrew jackson,
the two men being on the worst possible terms.
Jackson was in Washington for two weeks be.
fore his inauguration, but didn't go near Adams.
Frontiersmen, Indian fighters and thousands of
humble citizens crowded around the Capitol TO
see Jackson sworn In. Washington had never be-
held such a horde of visitors.
After Jackson's hectic day, Van Buren, re-
stored dignity to the inauguration and II Is re-
corded that champagne flowed most bounteously
at the reception. Jackson and Van Buren, rode
together from the White House to the Capitol

The first elaborate parade came with william
Henry Harrison after the colorful and famous

charger from the Capitol to the White House.
He was preceded by captured flags; Tippecanoe
