THIS? Is U good year for athletics
and sports of all Hurts. Tho
triumphs of Americans abroad
have redoubled Interest in ev
erything pertnlnlng to sports at homo.
Wo are a proiul nation, and whoa
Americans go Into anything they go in
with the determination to win both for
their own reputation and tho credit of
the country. Just about now enthu
siasm for sports and physical culture
In the broadest sense Is at white heat
on account of the celebrations In honor
of the returned Olympic l^rocs. The
receptions and doings of all kinds In
recognition of the achievements of tho
American athletes In England natural
ly awaken a new spirit In this country
which reminds one of the way the an
cient Greeks were wont to signalize the
victories of their Olympic heroes. It
has long been customary In England
and some of the British colonies to
tender receptions to wlnuers In athletlo
competitions and present valuable
medals to them, but the plan was nev
er tried on sucn a splendid scnle be
fore In our own country. The doings
of this kind tho present year may be
said to mark *an Important epoch In
the athletic history of America. All
these things lend dlgult.v to sport and
lucrease the devotion of the members
of the younger generation to pursuits
which may be so beneficial to them If
rightly followed.
The fact that President Roosevelt Is
at the head of the Olympic committee
aiDl honored the American athletes by
an Invitation to his summer home at
A. J. DItEXEL nTDDtP.
Oyster Uav gives Importance to the
matter aiul Increases the public Interest
in the welcome extended the returning
victors.
Boxlug as a gentleman's sport has re
ceived quite an impetus by the public
ity attending the doings of the "soci
ety pugilist," A. J. Droxel Kiddle, who
last April boxed "Philadelphia Jack"
O'Brleu at the Merlon Cricket club.
Mr. Diddle Is a banker and millionaire
a-i well as a champion among amateur
prizeiighters, and a few weeks ago he
said:
"1 am golug to start training on
Sept. 1. and during the entire winter
I expect to ft"ht before athletic clubs
all over the country. I am willing to
meet any man at my own weight."
Determined that Philadelphia shall
have nothing over Chicago In the line
Of society pugilists, George Lytton, so
cial leader and secretary of the fash
ionable. Chicago Athh tie club, lias sonl
on n challenge to Diddle, asking that
thv championship In the heavyweight
gentleman class be satisfied.
Following Is the challenge sent by
the Chicago club In behalf of Its
wealthy secretary:
A. J. Droxel Blddlo. Philadelphia Club.
1'lilladelphla:
Dear Sir? It has bi-en brought to my ut-,
tentlon that you aro tho eastern heavy
welKht cha'niplon boxer. Wo would ap
preciate It very much If you would accopl
a Chullengo from C^orge Lytton, out
secretary, time, number of rounds, etc.,
to bo decldcd later. Very truly yours,
CHARLES H. ZELLICR,
Chairman Athletic Committee.
All the world knows tho Biddies.
Th<y are the real whipped cream on
he upper crust, with pedigrees and
Incage and bats of gold It Is part of
he coming out process of the girls of
'.??? race to make their bows at the
curt* in Europe as soon as possible
titer they have entered American so
lely. A. J. I>re::el Diddle Is the hell
ap; . :v::! >f the Lot: When he Is not
i> '.nkltig or boxlug he writes poetry.
About two years ago some Irreverent
uurglars entered the Biddle house.
?
They got away with n lot. Next day
A. J. D. appeared before the police.
"It's rather beas'.Iy, you know," he
said. "I don't mind what el.e tliey
i took, but the bounder; had the Impu
dence to steal tbj gloves with which
FltzsImmoiH l.ot Corbett. Bob gave
them to me himself. The blood was
still on the;a. Now, If you can only
get those back, old chaps, I really don't
mlud the rest."
The rest was a few thousand dollars'
worth of Jewelry and valuables. Mr.
Riddle recovered t!io;e gloves In short
order. It Is not on r< cord that he ever
got anything elee, lint he was entirely
satisfied.

is headed by C. \V. Swisher, and the
other, the "i.lncoln ticket.'1 has in the

Scherr. The Democrats are united und
have put iu the field Lewis Bennett, a
former speaker of the legislature. Mr
Scherr has served as state auditor, and
Mr. Swisher has been prominent iu his
party for some years. Supporters of
both the Republican nominees are .de
claring their loyalty to the national
tliket, and It Is claimed by some thai
Judge Tuft's vote will uot be lesscnc !
by the party controversies in the com
monwealth. On the other hand, it is
said that strenuous efforts will be made
to induce the warring factions to com
po-e th-'r differences and eliminate
one or the other of the candidates.
