actions would be prostitution Of LAM

hackers, trainers, sympathizers, access
saries and spectators merit. ss$
According as these brute idols and
their worshippers have influence they
have drawn down class Of the people
of the country into the mine Of horri-i
BILE pit even toward level with them
selves. AS the wires flashed the stages.
of the sickening contest to the refec-
tiny bulletin boards the news was re-
ceived with eagernessIinto many sympar
thetic hearts. And more the details
of the disgusting affair was afterwards
spread out by "enterprising'' journals
and sent to decent people to read.
And now these lovers Of such 'sport"
will surround andworship their collared

lodging, lying and bribery to escape
punishment and also to establish the
standard of greatness among men and
boys in accordance with the morality
and exploits peculiar to prize fight.

things to learn besides what we see In BOOKS.
