In Chicago, It was asked by a leader of a great part of the Blavish people of Chicago, a stalwart, who has built up from the ground a tremendous congregation and assembled about It A fespectadle, God-fearing, well-be. haved community. The bowling and billiard matches in his church form a wonderful source of pleasure to the younger meinbers of his congregation, during the winter months especially, altho they are often brought off in the summer as well as in the winter. ‘That proves to you how popular that sort of thing Is becoming tn all corners of the land. Formerly there was a wide chasm between the church and the bowling alley and the billiard room, Now those two once-opposing elements are gotting together for the general pod, Now the two games furnish hon: est, healthful enjoyment even to the church people and some of the churches are using bowling and bil- Mards to thelr financial advantage and finding a revenue they never dreamed of before. At the same time they are adding to the membership of their churches, expecially ito the more youthful part of them, which until the amusement features were added, was drifting away from tho different congrega- tions, And so this case of the Sacred Heart Catholle church in Chicago is not an isolated one. There are many other of the great church congregations using or get. ting ready to Use the basements of their churches following the example of those who are already using them for bowling and billiard purposes. And those who have already tried the experiment say the two games aro increasing the church member ship and widening ita areas and In. fluence more than anything they have ever tried before.

BY JACK M’AULIFFE (UNDEFEATED LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION) EW YORK, Sept. 14.—Taking it for ‘grehfeg that Luis Ange! Fir- po !s game, I pick him to win the heavyweight championship of the | world. Previously I have expressed this opinion and my friends h: told me that I am crazy. I am entitled of course, to deny that, but I will ad- mit that I am decidedly lonesome and perhaps alone among “the ex- perta,” who are few in even giving the South American a chance. My prediction is based upon what I saw in both training camps, what T observed in the previous fights of both men and what I have learned from long experience in the boxing game as a world's champion. Firpo {s big and strong and he can hit. He has done everything that was asked of him and he did just as much in working himself up to the | bout for the world’s championship as Jack Dempsey did . The only thing doubtful about Fir- po is bis “heart.” Everything de- pends upon his willingness to take what he will have to take and come back for more. Dempsey blows quickly, He hasn't the staying power that Firpo should have, and, while the South American may not outgame the champion, he should be able to outlast him. I do not think that Firpo will quit rata USER RET McAuliffe Picks Firpo to Beat World’s Champ as Willard and Carpentier quit wher they got the idea that they couldn't beat Dempsey. If he keeps on com- ing it will break up Dempsey's game and Firpe-will win. Démpsey is not the puncher, that he used to be. He has sacrificed power for speed and I still think that he trained wrong, altho I hear that he has done a lot of work in private since I saw him at White Sulphur Springs. Dempsey flopped Willard seven times in the first round of the To- ledo fight, and Willard was bigger and heavier than Firpo, but Tam not so sure that he will put Firpo down with the first punch that he lands If he shoots his right hand a couple of times and Firpo does not fall, Dempsey will be up aaginst it as he will have to wear down the South American and in a long fight Firpe will have all the advantage. ~~ Dempsey may win, but he will find that Firpo's crude ways and his un- orthodox manner of fighting may turn out to be an asset instead of the fatal ability that it is being potntet out to be. Regardless of the outcome, I do nat think it will be a short fight. Firpo is not a quick finisher. He depends upon the slow process of z down an opponent, and, while Demp- s sey is a sudden stopper, I do not be- lieve that he will be able to bring down Firpo with his best pun in three or four rounds—if Firpo. bi game.
