IF KNIGHT ana F1TpO SHOW dS
much in the ring as the fight
stacks up on paper, the debut OF
the American Legion club should be
auspicious. Knight is the outstanding
challenger for the light-heavywelght
title by virtue of a victory scored over
Make Rosenbloom in 1892 when he
was compelled to enter the ring over
ITS pounds. The pair met again IN
Miami last February and after Is
rounds of milling the contest was de-
clared a draw. Knight forced the
fighting throughout and made Rosen-
bloom call on every trick at his COM
mand to stave off a knockout. Joe
tired from his early effort and saw
his lead diminish in the closing rounds
as the veteran champion spurted and
wound up with a split verdict, en-
abling him to retain his worlds title.
Knight is a southpaw and on this
account is a ready excuse available for
fighters who do not care to sample
his wallops. Among some of the bat
tiers Knight has knocked out are Bob
Goodwin, Yale Okum, Carl Knowles,
Don Petrin, Bob Tow, Matte Brown
and George Courtney. Other victims
include George Nichols. former N. B.
A. champion twice; Battling Bozo,
Tony Cancela, Charley Eelanger and
other lesser lights.
Firpo, not of the Argentine Firpos,
Is one Of the most deceptive boxers
now in practice A bland countenance
does not account for his savagery in
the ring. He boxes well until Stung
and then starts leveling with his
right hand. Firpo has broken up
more titular claims in the middle
weight class than any boxer of pres
ent days. He outsmarted Dave Shade
in 10 rounds and won a newspaper
award in Louisville. where decisions
are not permitted. He did much the
same to Jack Kilbourne when the
Australian was raising havoc with the
best l60-pounders in the country.
Rosy Kid Baker, Grover Maillini and
former Welterweight Champion Jackie
Fields are others who escaped official
defeat via the no-decision route.
Not until the bald eagle went right

lard recently and was knocked out for
his pains was Knight willing to meet

Phil O'Brien is baritone and Mil

The notes were SIS feet high and

the first radio program ever broad
cast from the peak of the shaft
After Announcer Ted Kimball de-
scribed what one sees from the

Gordon player teamed up for a few
numbers that were broadcast over Sta
ton WMAL.
The program was arranged to give
A. E. Demaray, acting director Of the

is structurally sound and that any
minor defects can be cured in the

over the property and convert it into
historical shrine.
Very few OF Patrick Henry's per-
sonal belongings are left. Most of his
furniture, together with all his per-
sonal papers, was destroyed in the fire.
Uninjured, however, was one Of the
most magnificent boxwood hedges in
the South and the great English yew,
probably planted by Henry himself,
which is one Of the few trees Of this
kind in the United States.
Here, also, in the old family bury
ing ground, are the graves of Henry
himself, his wife and several Of his
children.
Mrs. Harrison has lately come into
possession of what she believes to be
the only authentic picture of her
great grandfather. The one in the
Capitol at Washington, which, is usu-
ally reproduced in history text books
she says, according to family tradi-
ton was painted by Thomas Sully at
least 10 years after Henry's death,
description Of his friends. The old
miniature, however, bears evidence OF
having been painted In Henry's life
time, and while the outlines are gen.
orally the same as those Of Sully's
painting, it shows a quite different
cast Of countenance.

are holly trees about so feet high

POLITICAL CHIEFS
ParIeys With Business Lead.
erS Also Planned for
This Week.

Back in the White House after
45O-mile trip through Virginia. Presi-
dent Roosevelt prepared for another
busy week that includes two speeches
and a number Of conferences with
political and business leaders of the
country.
The President returned from his
Virginia expedition last night after
leisurely cruise on the Chesapeake
Bay and Potomac River from York
town, where he boarded the yacht
Sequoia Saturday afternoon after the
ceremonies at Williamsburg. No un-
toward or interesting events were re-
ported on the return trip.
The first speech will come tonight
marking the formal opening Of the
1884 mobilization Of human needs.
This address will be made before
battery Of microphones in the White
House and distributed over the COM
bined networks of N. B. c., Columbia
and American Broadcasting systems
at 1890 o'clock.
Brief Radio Address.
White House attaches said the radio
address will be brief. consisting chiefly
OF an appeal to the Nation to assist
local charity organizations in caring
for the community needs. Newton D.
Baker, former Secretary of War, in
Cleveland, will introduce the Presi-
dent to the radio audience.
The second speech will be made
Wednesday night before the American
Bankers Association. This Is ex-
pected to be momentous address,
although there has been no indication
at the White House as to its theme
This address, however, will not be
broadcast. 1t will be the first i'm
portant one since Mr.. Roosevelts
Inauguration where microphones will
not be permitted.
Democratic Leader Robinson of the
Senate, who has Just returned from
Europe, headed the list of political
leaders the President will see this
week. He was at the White House
this morning for q short conference.
To Receive Bookmen.
Tomorrow the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt will receive a collection of
200 books from the Nations book
sellers for the White House library.
A brief ceremony has been planned
after the committee representing the
booksellers has been entertained at
luncheon at the White House. The
committee consists Of Lieut.. Comdr.
Edmund S. McCawley, U. S. N, re-
tired, president of the American
Booksellers Association; w. w. Nor
ton. president of the Book Publishers
Association and director of the New

1t seems to be Mr.. Roosevelt's own
idea, growing out of the conferences
he has been holding with business
men. Few have found any objection
to it, but the White House apparently
wants to analyZe it before speaking
publicly.

More Than Mere Analysis.
This report contains more than q
mere analysis of the burning con-
sumner problem. One conclusion is that
the income groups between $4,000 and
$4,000 a year form the greater part
of the consuming public. This group
Is said to comprise between a third
and a half of all gainfully employed
workers. Their purchases account for
two-thirds of all retail buying. The
report asserts the consumer has been
neglected; that his interests have toe
often been subordinated to those OF
business and labor.
It is not sparing in its criticism OF
some prominent New Dealers. The
charge is made that consumer boards
of A. A. A. and N. r. A. have been
thrown for a loss on vital policy issues

The Supreme Court declined to re-
view the decision Of lower courts re-
fusing to compel payment. Their
ruling stands.
Explaining her husband was an
officer of the Columbia Lodge of the
International Association of Machin-

residence, 3629 Jocelyn street. while in
the discharge of his duties, the widow
filed claim under the longshoreman' s

The compensation was refused by
the deputy commissioner of the or

injury did not arise in the course of
Morgan's employment
The District Supreme Court dis
missed a suit brought to compel the
deputy commissioner to pay the COM
pensation and its action was ap-
proved by the District Court of Ap-
peals.
