CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
CHRISTMAS

IN HE cradle of the Nazarene stood at
the turning point in human his
- tory. Since that first Christmas
day of Christendom nations have dis
appeared and the map of the world has
been altered times almost without
number. Augustine, that mighty ruler
of the Golden Age: Constantine, the
first Of the great Christian emperors-
these two illustrious epoch-marking
figures in history and all who have
come after them have brought to man
kind no message so Illuminating, so in
spring, as the tuneful message of the
angels who, when Christ was born into
the world, caroled the divine decree of
peace on earth, good will toward all
men.
The hymn that the angels sang over
the hills Of Judea has echoed with in
creasing volume through every succeed
ing age. It is reverberating through
every land, in every cline, today. The
first shrine--a lowly manger--has
crumbled, but hundreds of marbled abb
beys, thousands of towering cathedrals
and tens of thousands of humber affairs
and shrines have taken its place. The
marveling, worshiping band of shep-
herds, the 'wise men from the east"
have become multitude numbered like
the stars of the heavens; the guiding
Star of Bethlehem has become Won
derful, eternal sun, whose rays dispel
the darkness of Ignorance and announce
the opening of a new day to those chill
dren of men who have been cropping in
spiritual gloom and helplessness. AS
one has said:
"Once three wise men laid their rich
gifts before the Christ child; today the
wisdom and wealth of the earth be-
stow it's richest tributes at the feet Of
the Christ For he who was born in
Bethlehem's manger has been journey
ing triumphantly down the ages, bear
ing the sword of truth and the scepter
of love- He touched art and it became
pure; he touched music and it became
sweet; he touched worship and it be-
came holy; he touched marriage rela-
tion and it became sacred; he touched
philosophy and changed it from cold
system to a living force; he touched the
sroveling sinner and caused him to
stand erect, repentant and forgiven, he
spread out his hands in blessing over all
the earth, and slowly but surely the
wilderness and the solitary place have
been growing glad and the deserts are
rejoicing and blooming as the rose.
''True. in three and thirty years, he
who was born beneath the star, was led
to Calvary and crucified there beneath
the clouds; but his little band of low
ing, loyal disciples gathered up the
great truths of love and eternal life for
which he died, and bore them out into
the world. One by one they laid down
their lives for these truths. Thousands
more followed in their footsteps, many
10 meet a similar fate. But while the
world crucified Jesus and slew his i'm
mediate disciples and tortured to the
death countless hundreds who dared to
declare themselves his followers, il
could not cruelty the principle for which
these gave their lives. That principle
Of peace on earth, good will to men,.
has been sweeping on over continents
across oceans, striking the shackles
from the slave, exalting womanhood
and the home. pleading the cause of the
downtrodden and oppressed, purifying
and blessing the world"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-12-25

There is no cause for the display Of
municipal pride in voting to remain
dry" to secure a gift of 100000, as the
town of Hudson, o., did; but the fact
that whole town can be induced by
pecuniary considerations to be moral
and stay moral is a possibility that
should be impressed upon the minds Of
such wealthy public benefactors as the
laird of Slxibo and the baron of Oildom.

AGREEMENT Is EXPECTED
FROM COLLEGE CONFERENc cE
Meeting Called by U. s. c. Coach VIII
Discuss Amateur Affairs Today.
Three Institutions Will
Participate

When the meeting called by Coach
Holmes of u s. c. for the purpose OF con-
sidering the formulation Of new confer
ence rules and regulations governing In
tercollegiate athletics convenes at the
University club this afternoon at o'clock
at least three of the "big five" will be
represented.
Coach Hempel of st. Vincent's and
Coach Thompson of Whittier college have
both communicated favorably regarding
today's meeting.
1t seems probable that several clauses
restricting athletic participants in the
various contests will be introduced.
1t Is we'll known that Pomona is
strongly In favor of the adoption of an
amending clause in the existing agree
ment which shall restrict ''prep" students
from competing in intercollegiate con-
tests. This would hit both Occidental
and U. S. c. hard blow. as the present
roster of athletes at each of the latter
institutions is composed largely of acad-
emy students. However, Coach Holmes
Is willing to accede to this stringent de-
mand. Again, as concerns the status Of
athletes entering a college of the "big
five" for the first time, the present un-
derstanding calls for one up with the
mud of professionalism as prevails in
other sections of the country.
Whatever rules are decided upon today
will be forwarded to the five colleges for
adoption, and an agreement will no doubt
be reached.

LOSES TROPHY OF
TENNIS CHAMPION
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Sept. PA dispatch from
Cincinnati states that the $500 tri-state
tennis trophy won by Miss May Sutton
cannot be located and will be replaced
with duplicate Miss Sutton won the
silver bowl for the third time on her
recent eastern and transatlantic tour, and
it became her absolute property.
She brought the trophy to Pasadena the
first time she won it, but disliking the
responsibility of its care left it the fol-
lowing year in the care of George
DeCamp, the secretary of the tennis asso-
ton. His sudden death has left the
whereabout of the handsome prize a mys-
terry, and search of the safety deposit
vaults and other likely places has failed
to disclose it.
Mis- Sutton's trophies have cash value
of nearly $4,000, the result of her victories
since 1900 The Cincinnati trophy is the
most valuable of all with the exception of
the tea set presented by the citizens of

DISAPPOINTED ON
ACCOUNT OF CLUB
YACHTERS ACROSS POND ARE
ANXIOUS TO RACE
Royal Irish Yacht Club viii Cable
Resolutions to New York Organ

Confer
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Sept. H.-There is great disap-
pointment in yachting circles over the
refusal of the New York Yacht club to
accept the challenge of Sir Thomas Lip
ton to contest for the Americas cup.
The authorities of the Royal Irish Yacht
club naturally are reticent as to whether
the conditions of challenge will be aban-
doned or not, but among them the opin-
ion is general that the matter is still
open.
LONDON, Sept. 27-The Royal Irish
Yacht club will cable a reply to New
York Yacht clubs resolution declining
Sir Thomas Liptons challenge. This dis
patch will further intimate under what
conditions Sir Thomas is prepared to send
another challenge. The decision was
reached after long conference with Will
liam Fife, the designer, who, as stated
by Sir Thomas Lipton, positively re-
fuses to design a yacht to race for the
cup under the old rules of the yacht
club.
Fife, however, is willing to design
yacht for the purpose under the "univer-
sal rule" which has been in use in Amer
lea for four or five years.

KID WEBSTER GETS DECISION
OVER SMITH IN FAST PREllM

Kid Webster won the decision over Joe
Smith last night in a six-round fight pre-
liminary to the Gans-Burns contest. Not
withstanding the fact that Joe Smith was
put on the card at the last moment and
had no time to get in condition, ne put
up a splendid exhibition.
Webster forced the fighting from be-
ginning to end ard Joe was right there
to meet him half way. Smiths plucky
fighting and good nature won for him
the admiration of the house and he had
the crowd with him most of the time.
The boys mixed 1t from the start. There
was not much class to the exhibition, but
the youngsters were good scrappers and
Well matched and the crowd was pleased.
In the third round Webster landed three
wallops to Smiths head and things
looked bad for Joe, but he came back
harder than ever and succeeded in past
ing the Kid several times before the end
of the round. During the fourth round
Smith began to get winded and the crowd
feared he would not be able to hold out
to the sixth.
When the fifth came, however, he waded
right in and succeeded in holding his
own in good shape. During the entire
six rounds the Kid landed left to head
and right to body repeatedly. In the
fourth Smiths left side was scratched
and red from the continual drubbing from
the Kids right in clinches
In the sixth both lit in with a rush,
and while the Kid had the best of the
deal as during the previous rounds,
Smith succeeded in landing some good
wallops on the Kids head and body. 1t
was no walkover proposition for the Kid
at any stage of the game. He had to
keep working all the time and Smith kept
him guessing with those left jabs for
the face, while his right was always in
readiness for a swing.

CANS WILDLY cHEERED WHEN
HE is DISCOVERED IN RING

After the scales were placed in the ring
Cans entered He Immediately selected
the SOUTHEAST corner of the ring as his
lucky spot and with an air of being tired
of the whole business dropped Into a
chair.
The negro champion was not noticed
for time, but when at last he was spied
by the great throng of spectators cheer
after cheer rent the air and ries of
Cans! Gans!" resounded throughout the
building. With Cans in his corner were
Ben Selig Willie Keefe, Young Peter
Jackson and Kid North.
Three minutes later Jimmy Burns fol-
lowed the champion and walked across
the ring to the corner opposite Cans. He
wore the same ,many-colored bathrobe
which has been feature at all his recent
fights. He was also noisily greeted by
his admirers in the audience. With him
were Tommy Burns, Frank Fields, Eddie
Chambers and Abdul the Turk.
Sam Grant, city sealer of weights and
measures, then entered the ring and
tested the scales, which were found to
be accurate.
Cans then disrobed, but kept on his
shoes and hat. He leaped to the scales,
which registered several ounces less than
1876 pounds, the required weight.
Cans then retired to his corner and
Burrs stepped on the scales. He was
stripped and proved to be under the re-
quired weight
Little Lord Fountleroy, official rosin
carrier and glove boy, had forgotten to
bring the gloves into the ring, but after
being reminded of the fact went for
them.
Burns Makes Kick
Joe Cans went forward and picked up
a. pair retiring with them to his corner.
A few minutes later Tommy Burns went
forward and selected a pair for his
protege.
The next minute he emitted roar. The
gloves chosen by Cans, he said, were
several ounces lighter than the pair to
be used by Jimmy. Cans then offered to
exchange gloves, but to this Tommy
would not agree, insisting that new
gloves be provided.
At last it was decided to hand the
gloves to a spectator and have him mix
them up out of sight of the fighters or
their managers and then hand them each
a pair, which they agreed to use.
This was done and Cans received the
pair he had chosen at first. This caused
Tommy to emit another roar. He refused
to allow Jimmy to use the pair assigned
to him, and for few minutes 1t ap-
peared that there was a chance of the
fight being called Off.
At last a settlement was made and
Jimmy accepted the gloves offered.
Tommy Burns was then introduced as
the active champion, willing to meet any
man in the world. Cans then authorized
Megaphone Cook to accept Burns chal-
lenge for Young Peter Jackson and Of
fered to bet $4,000 on his man. Burns
Joined the deaf and dumb squad about
that time and the offer was not accepted.
Jeffries then entered the ring and
called the men together for final instruc-
tions. The ring was then cleared and
the men retired to their corners.
