Why, Mike shoots over that Inside right and drops 'em—but that's another story. The latest is that Prof. Donovan is an author. Here is where Rex Beach and Richard Harding Davis and Robert Chambers and all the rest of the literary gentlemen take to the tall timbers. They are all advea- turesome spirits with experiences of wil! derneas and battlefield to draw upon, but what does their material amount to beside that of a man who fought through the civil war, and who fought a score of bare-fist battles on the turf in the olden days, and who punched Jack | Dempsey’s head when Jack was g00d, and who has tapped upon the proboscis that greatest of modern athletic enthusiasts, our President?

You may have noticed that the greatest fighters !n the ring never make trouble or get into rows on the outside, That's the way It is with Mr. Roosevelt.
