was the attributes was his ability to win the loyal coperaticn in TRIBUNE promotional work of men in all walks of life. Years ago he organized a band of fellows interested in athletics among youths. Alrnost without exceptien this original band etuck with Eckie through the years. No matter how tired they might be after their days work. if Eckie needed them they responded.

No matter tow trivial or how uninteresting the job he wanted them to perform they did it because they wanted to please Eck ie. They were loyal to him because be was loyal to them. The Intercity bouts provided an example cf the lengths to which Eckie would go to prove that leyalty. The boxing commiseion decided that a certain cfncial had made an error. It issued an order.

whether just or unjust doesn't matter, which made it imposieble for Tste Tatsriez to use that efitcial in the Intercity bouts. With a hundred and one details to worry him. Eckie dropped everything to attempt to iron out the diff.culty. He didn't want to hurt the feelings of the ofileial who had served him and Tiitz TRIBUNE faithfully. Tou would have thought that the corn-mission order had hit Eekle personally.

He was hurt because a friend was hurt. That was Eckles way. -a-- Known to thousands, hailed as the greatest football player Chicagoans ever saw, a Egure to be pointed out where ever eport fans assembled. Eekersall never lost a diftilence, a modesty, that was almost embarra.ssing to his friends-- sport's epotlight rever dazzled Eckle. If he ever made a public speech, there is no record of It in Tan TRIBUNE'S tles.

It was wasted effort to ask hirn to attend a eaort function if lee thought the folks there would try to make over or flatter him. He shunned hero worship. rt is hard for one to write ea ap. erasal of Eckie without writing sentimentally. In truth Eckie was a sentirnentaliet himself, although that is the last thing he would have admitted.

He was a sentimentalist over those we respect in life. whole heartedness, honesty and loyalty. He looked for things in a man and when he found them he overlooked anything else.
