Died. William McKinley Mooney, 94, onetime postal clerk who achieved a moment of fame as an amateur boxer; in Washington, D.C. Introduced by his brother, a Washington newsman, to President Theodore Roosevelt in T.R.'s early days in the White House, Mooney was instantly recognized as the chap who had recently defeated a Swedish diplomat in an amateur bout. Cried Teddy, seven years his senior: "Come, my boy, show me how you did it." Mooney tapped the President respectfully on the chin. "No, no, that won't do," roared T.R. "Open up. Hit me hard." Mooney promptly deposited Teddy on his presidential backside. "That's it, that's it," enthused Roosevelt, bounding up. "Now I'll try it on you." Then the two flailed away for a bit, until President Roosevelt shouted: "I've got it. That's the blow I wanted. It's just what I've been looking for--to try on some members of the Cabinet."
