MATCHMAEERs TRYING
TO SIGN STAR BOXERS
Hope to Bring Off a Big
Event in This City
Before Long
BY r. a. Sn1yth

For the time being the lightweight
boxers are holding the center of the
stage and they will continue to do so
until Bill Squires sails in through the
Golden Gate ready to meet the best OF
the American heavyweight boxers. The
promoters have been conjuring with
the names of Nelson. Cans and Britt
and from that star trio they hope to
obtain a match. For time it seemed
that Cans and Nelson would renew
their remarkable struggle. which was
witnessed by the people of Goldheld
last September. but meeting between
the greatest two men in their class
seems out OF the question at the present
time.
Cans wants to fight here next month
and Manager Jim Coffroth has been
trying to find an opponent for him.
Britt seems the man to draw the most
money, but he would prefer to meet
Nelson. He believes that if he fought
the Battler in a clever style instead of
trying to Outright him, he could out
point him in twenty rounds. Britt is
weighing the merits of the Cans match
and may see that he would get good
returns from fight with the colored
champion.
While the boxers are trying to deter
mine what man they would like to
meet, Manager Coffroth is attempting
to come to terms with Cans. He has
offered 90 per cent of the gross receipts.
Cans is holding out for larger share.
although in the past he has been glad
to fight for less. He has agreed to a
liberal division of the money, being
willing for the winner to receive so per
cent and the loser 40 per cent, al
though he would be much surprised if
he were not returned the winner.
Cans does not like the theatrical
business and would prefer to take a
whirl in the ring at regular intervals.
For one thing, it keeps him in good
fighting trim. and that is a big con
sideration, as all the men he will have
to meet will be formidable opponents

death of Wickliff, preached by John
Huss and his followers in the towns
and villages of Bohemia. Condemn
ed at the Council of Constance, A. d.
1414.
Is. Heresy of Luther. Luther was
monk of the order of st. Angus
tine and professor In the University
of Wittenburg. Pride and jealousy
induced him to attack the ancient
faith, and invent a new cheed. Pope
Leo X, having granted plenary in
dulgence, Luther was annoyed that
the commission to preach it was CIV
en- to the Dominicians, and not to his
own order. He then attacked the doc
trine of indulgence itself. He also
taught that faith alone saved man
kind; that the Sacrifice of the Mass
is an abomination; that there is no
necessity for confession, abstinence,
fasting or modification whatever He
said that priests might marry; he de-
MED the supremacy of the pope; he
wrote against purgatory, free will,
and almost every article of Christian
belief.
16. Calvin, who is regarded as
second only to Luther, was the found
er of Presbyterianism. His chief
stronghold was Geneva. He taught.
among other things, that God created
man on purpose to damn the greater
number of them; that God is the au-
thor of all sin, and that man has no
fro tnyiI 10 4ta
pope, but bishops and priests also.
At the Council of Trent, held from
1545 to 1868. A. D., the heresies Of
Luther Calvin and others were con-
demned. The Greed of Pope Plus
W. is grounded on the dicision of
this council.
II. The Jansenists, so-called after
their leader Jansenius, bishop of
Typres in Flanders. He maintained
that man was not free; that 1t was
impossible to keep some of Gods
commandments; that all good works
of unbelievers are sin; that God will
punish us for not practicing virtues
which are not in our power; that out
Lord died only to save few privileg-
ed souls, and not the whole human
race. Two illustriaus French bishops,
Bosseut and Fenelon, defended the
truth against these false dostrines,
Christopher de Beaumont. Archbishop
of Paris G746-17SD, was also a great
champion of the true faith, and by
his virtues and exertions did much
to put down this heresy, which had
already been condemned by p. Urban
VIII. A. d. 1912. and by P. Clement
XII. A. d. 1905.
