By Cor-neli- J THE alumni chapter of champions of the world were assembled under one top, ten members would answer "Here to the roll call. One or two of them would be grizzly and doddering. Several would be well off financially and perhaps a couple might be called wealthy. One would be down and out. Three of them would tell you they were still active in this fighting game and one would predict confidently that he will be the next heavyweight champion. Never before In history, probably, have there been ao many livlnf Six of champions. these ten former kings of pugilism have won and lost their UUes in the last ten years. Can you name these fighters? Well, never mind, here they are: James J. Jeffries, Jack Johnson, Jess Willard, Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney, Max Schmeling, Jack Sharkey, Primo Camera, Max Baer and Jim Braddock. Jeff Lives in Comfort Jeffries, who won the champion' ship by beating the great Bob Fitzsimmons at Coney Island in 1899, lives in modest circumstances out on the Pacific coast. He made the mistake of trying to come back against Jack Johnson in 1910 after officially retiring for want of competition in 1905, He Is the oldest big league manager In point of years old enough to be the father of practically all Ibo other managers In the American and National leagues. He likewise bolds the record for continuous service as a manager. He Connie Mack became pilot of the Athletics when the American league first organised clubs in the East in 1901 and hes been bossing it ever since. Looking ahead and not backward as men do at seventy-five- , Mack is anticipating a better year for his And when he climbs Athletics. aboard the train next spring for the training camp in Louisiana, he'll be starting his fifty-fift- h year in baseball. If by some necromancy the Athletics should win the pennant, it would be Mack's tenth flag in the American league. His teams have won five world's series. His contribution to baseball la represented by something far more significant than years of service. Like Old Man Stagg when he coached championship teams at Chicago's Midway, Mach has left his mark on the men who have worked under him. He haa been s gentleman and has Insisted on that code from his players. His career Is a monument to the value of cleanness in sports.

Jess Willard, first of the crop to make size a championship qualification, is. like Jeff, living In comfortable circumstances on the West coast. Besides his size, Willard had a good right hand to recommend him, but it wasn't good enough the day he met young Jack Dempsey.
