Sullivan and Jake Iillrain were facing each other in a turf ring at Richburg, Miss, Por more than two hours they had been fighting the world's chem. pionship art stake, The 2,000 gamblers, sporl'e and loggers who watched wondered how much longer the fight would continue, Both fighters staggered, Both gasped for breath, Then Sullivan swung a bare, bloody fist, Rllrain, dazed, wlbted to the ground. It was tike forty-eighth time be had been knocked down in this flght; his op_ ponent had gone down only twenty. seven times, This latest knock- down ended the seventy-fifth round. The thirty-second rest period end - e, the victim of the knock.dnwn shuffled his feet, but could not rise from his chair, A helper tossed a towel into the ring, Gamblers and sports howled hoarsely, Sur Ivan grinned and Spat blood and swag- ger as, the undisputed bare -knuckle champion of the world. His oppon- ent, who two years before had fought a 106 -round draw with . the champion of England, slowly realis- ed what bad happened, Ktlrain—,he was Christened Jos- eph John Kllraln — fought a few more luckless boats, then retired m 1896, Sullivan went on to a specc- taculer career of roistering and fighting which ended when he ,Med In 1918, penniless.

ALLEN CHURCH UNION Out of a conference of a3rlllsli dune:•.mim, bllb Free Church and Areelean, says the Christian Seieeee Mont:ore come three pamphlets and a great deal of favourable twain -teat for a gradual merging of Protestant de»uu1111414ons, The ideal is 10 faun a single united church more eellcerned with presenting •tlir C.u't ly way of living than 1i up - bolding seotarian despu e', The itt tial investigations have produced concrete plans for a new orga:ilea• lion capable of embracing all the Protestant groups interested, But even ,,his may not be go essential ea the possible eliteese Of the mavo- nteht as is the common rec•ogeitlon that, in seeking to ,exemplti'y ,the Clu'lstlah character, faith is more essential than form, works more lin- Pl'oss'lve than ritual. As one of the pamphlets puts' it: "Disunion debars us from giving our torn and dirt treated world effective witness to the truith that tate Gospel or Christ Is the one basis of eucluring friend- ship among men and nations," All Christians, whether united In 0 • great organization or not, Sborld be able to find 'agreement in suce a precept. PROFANITY IN SPORT • From Chatham comes r complaint these the use of (profanity among a,tblotes who take part in various lines of organized sport is on the increase and a demand that the authorities in charge of these games should take steps to clean up the situation. Just how correct this charge may be wvo are not prepared to say. In Um case of prefeesional sport we world venture the opinion that in- stead of a worse condition than ex- isted a decade or two ago, there is less smearing than ever because the men at the bead of baseball have been insistent upon the eliminittion of bad language and the players have learned to their sorrow tba2 order's are orders when they some from league headquarters. We are not prepared to say that a similar happy condition prevails in the realm of amateur . spore. There ere times when we feel in- deed that it dos not, We can re- member during the last football season hearing some very bad language used by a visiting inter scholastic team during the course of a gaane at Victoria Park, language that was certainly not worttihy of a school team and that was perPeetly audible in the grand- stand. It was not an isolated Inci- dent, unfortunately for there bave been outer offenders in other lines' of sports. The remedy Pee in the boucle of the effictels. Mil, believe that a player who is guilty of using pro- fane and vulgar language should be taught self control and the surest way of imparting than: instruction is to ban him from the game long enough to show him that amateur sport In Canada calls for Its eX- porent. to act like gentlemen.
