—, - ' -If Rockefeller Challenged To Golf Match By Man Who Is Six Years Older Chicago, Aug. 15.—(United Press.) —ls John D. Rockefeller, Sr., is looking for competition at golf from a fellow who is a little older, and who lias seen a bit more of life, Henry Clay Breckenridge, 93, Chicago, is ready to take him on at any time. Breckenridge plays golf here daily. Six feet two inches in height, straight as a young sapling, with eyes that have lost none of their old fire, he figures he would have a fair chance of trimming Rockefeller even if the latter is six years younger. Breckenridge attributes his long life and his youthful enthusiasms to a sound constitution and clean living. He smokes a pipe and cigars, and admits that he’d like a cigarette occasionally “if there was anything to them." It would seem that old age is bred in the Green Mountains of Vermont, from whence Breckenridge came. His mother lived to be 95. His great grandfather fought there against the British In the Battle of Bennington. Breckenridge was born there April 14, 1832, was educated in Ohio, and was an active merchant there until 1918, when he retired at the ripe . young age of 86. This youth of 93 when he is not beating himself at solitaire or play ing golf spends his time in reading, Solid stuff —the literature he devours, and his keen eyesight is unimpaired end his health Is good. To quote him “I’ve not had an ache nor a pain since my 93 birthday.” There are four living oers of Breckenridge’s family: .. ard P. Breckenridge is 84. He lives in Toledo. Ohio; W. C Breckenridge, 82, has a home in Hamilton, Ohio, and a sister, Mrs. Breckenridge Gray, 91

, lives at Norwalk In the same state, i "1 worked hard and constantly until , I was 86. If any receipe for old age ’hard work’ is the answer." the veteran said. •'Bring on your young fellows like Rockefeller."
