THOMPSON LEAVES
FOR HOME IN EAST
HURRlES TO BEDSIDE OF SICK
M0THER-lN-LAW
Honey Melody and Mike Sullivan
Start Training Tomorrow--Molly
Mcdonald viii Direct Flynn
at San Diego

Cyclone Thompson, accompanied by
Mrs. Thompson and the little Cyclone,
left for their home in Sycamore, Ill,
yesterday in response to a telegram
stating that Mrs. Thompson's mother
was seriously i'll. The game boy who
stood up before Jimmy Burns Friday
night carried his losers end of the
purse, $72S, together with the marks of
the contest, which were large and nu-
merous, away with him. and the fans
were all sorry to Sc him go.
Il am kind of run down now" said
Thompson, but 1 guess I'll be back in
harness before many months have
passed. Everything went against me
Friday night, but tomorrow's another
day and l still have chance to go
some with the best of them"
Thompson is not the only one who
suffers as result of Fridays slaugh-
ter house exhibit, as Jimmy Burns Is
also a little under the weather While
he is not marked to any extent both of
Jimmy's hands are on the blink, but
the salve he is using, the S1O92 which
went to the winner, will doubtless help
to heal them.
Now that the butchers tournament is
out of the way, Manager McCarey will
go right ahead with the plans for the
Honey Mellody-Mike Sullivan soiree,
which is to be held on the 23d. The
date means skidoo for one or the other,
but as each fighter is confident that
he will not be 1t, the milling should
be unusually interesting.
Melody, who has been doing light
work for a week or two, will start in
earnest tomorrow morning, and for the
preliminary grind will hang his punch
ing bag under the rafters at the East
Side Athletic club. Mike Twin will
adorn the quarters usually occupied
by his brother Jawn at Arcadia, and
will also start his hard graft in the
morning.
Since Melody whipped Joe Walcott
and claims the title of welterweight
champion of the world, the fight be-
tween him and Mike Twin will be a
bona fide high honor affair, and the
winner will probably be matched with
Joe Thomas, who lays claim to the
champions honors. In all probability
Thomas will be on the ground before
long, and when Melody and Sullivan
answer the gong he will be at the
ringside to put in his challenge.
Molly Mcdonald leaves for San Diego
today to take charge of Jim Flynn,
who will fight George Gardner in the
bay city next Friday night. The trainer
of champions is confident that Flynn is
the coming champion of the big fellows
and intends to watch him all the time.
Gardner, when he was real fighter
instead of a joke, won from Flynn on
decision, and Molly will now train his
man to wipe out this blot on his
record

Attorney General Bonaparte was re-

with regard to future prosecutions Of

While he would not admit that he
contemplated bringing an individual
action against Mr.. Hartman as re-
sponsible head of the Alton, he made
this playful remark: I'VE want those
higher up, and If we can get a
good case.'--that Is, where there is a
reasonable probability Of the convic-
ton of those high in authority-we
shall push it vigorously to a conclu-

Mr.. Bonaparte is a good advertising

Sir.-Plcase allow me space In your

exceedingly warm and the roads dry
the people Of the county turned out in

Editor Of ,rhc Dispatch:
Sir.--A question Of historical interest
has recently been discussed In the
newspapers III and out OF Virginia.
Did free negroes before tho Civil War
ever own slaves? Some have denied
md others affirmed 1t.
remember distinctly when boy
to have seen old Priscilla Ivcy, who
lived near my fathers home. opposite
Clarksvillc, on Roanoke River, In
Mecklenburg county. She was very
black, even Of a darker hue than her
slaves, and what imprcsse my youth
full mind was that one negro could
own another. They called her Miss
Priscy. and were very obedient to ller
commands. She was the widow OF
Frederick Ivey, free negro, and lived
to great old age.
l examined the records In the clerks
office OF Mecklenburg yesterday. 70
my surprise l did not find n single
citizen who ever heard of the fact be-
fore. l inquired for some old mon to
get their recollection of the Iveys, but
was told by the sheriff that there
wcre no very old men Mt the court
house. Clerk Hutchinson knew nothing
about them or their ownership OF
slaves.
But in VIII Book No, Q I found
that the will of Frederick Ivey was
probated on the 25th OF May 1921, In

WATCH.

tSelected for The Times-Dispat ch) |
''And what 1 say unto you say unto
all, Watch."-Mark Kill. 81.
We hear great deal about histor-
ical Christianity and primitive Chris
tianity; not enough about present-day
Christianity and prophetic Christianity.
The church has turned the face of its
members too much toward the past.
The Scripture bids us turn our faces
toward the future.
This was distinctly the characterls-
tic of the Old Testament. The prophetic
writer's told their hearers that the
Golden Age lay in the future, not in
the past They always bid them look
forward, not backward. Christ did the
same. His last words to His disciples
We're Of His future coming; His last
counsel to them was to watch for Him.
The same spirit which was In Jesus
of Nazareth calling James and John
to service. comforting Mary and Mar
tina in their afflction. assuring the
weeping penitent Of forgiveness, is in
the world to-day calling to service,
