POPE CEMSURES

by Associated freSS.
ROME, July 1S.-The syllabus promul-
gated by the pope yesterday with regard
to the so-called modernism in the faith
contains a preamble which sets forth that
Roman Catholic authors, under the pre-
text of examining dogmas, explained
them in the name of history in such a
fashion that the dogmas themselves dis
appear
To prevent such efforts, the preamble
says, the pope has ordered a congregation
of inquisition to note and reprove the
principal errors and with his appreciation
sixty-five propositions are condemned.
These include the following:
Divine inspiration does not guarantee
all and every part of the Holy Scriptures
against error.
The resurrection of the Savior is not an
historical fact but is purely supernatural.
1t can neither be demonstrated nor is 1t
demonstrable.
The Roman Catholic church became the
head of all churches not yet by divine
ordinances. but by purely political cir
cumstances.
The church is the enemy of natural and
theological sciences.
The Christian doctrine was firse Judaic.

versal.
The principal articles of the apostles
creed had not the same significance to the
primitive Christians as they have to the

M'CAREY WILL BET
ON JIMMY BURNS
CANNOT TALK BUSINESS WITH
NEAR CHAMPION
Three Battles For Next Kid Show Ar
ranged by Leap-AtteII May
Meet Driscoll in Local
Ring

Tom NcCarey is now full-ledged
"Rurnsite" and he is willing to back MS
talk with real money-and lots of 1t, too
Yesterday Mac offered to PUNK up some
thing like $4,000 as bet that Jimmy
Burns could whip either Nelson or Britt.
Yea. he even went so far as to say that
he was willing to bet the money that
Jimmy could whip them poth III the salhe
night.
OF course, it is easy enough to get
enough money together to get Britt and
Nelson to sign articles to meet fighter
of Jimmy Burns caliber in the same
ring. and McCarey will have fat chance
to bet his money-not. Burns Is stlll
itching to get the short end of purse
for a fight with Cans, and TO snow that
he is sincere offers to fight the black
how on a winner-take-all basis. That
is. he saws he will do it, but maybe it's
like Tommy Burns and the fight with
Johnson-all willing until it comes to
taking the pen in hand and signing ar
ticles.
Tommy Burns got in yesterday, but the
victory in the recent championship fight
with Bill Squires did not serve to put
him down any in his own estimation
The result was that Manager McCarey
could not talk business with him in re-
gard to q fight with Johnson or Schreck
and there was nothing doing in getting
the near. champions name on contract.
Still, Tommy Burns is real wise guy
and particularly so if the interview pub
lished last night is right In it Burns
is reported as saying that Squires nearly
had him out, and, of course, hands 1t
to himself for being the game and cool
battler by winning out from the Austral-
ian bunch of grape fruit
AS McCarey could not get Burns to
talk business he devoted his time to the
bunch of preliminary kids who will form
the next card at Maud Junction. Harry
Leap who is handling the Frisco end
of things, wired McCarey that he had
several good boys signed up, and that
they would be here for their appearance
next week
| Al Emmick and Kid Webster will be one
number that should be all right, con-
sidering the caliber of the contestants.
Webster is boy who should be far along
in the ranks of the little fellows, yet
he is still clubbing around here sparring
| for coffee and doughnuts. He will meet
good boy in Emmick, and should he
win the local lad ought to be able to
get on with some of the better known
| fighters in his division.

HUNTERS OUT
AFTER BIRDS
MANY NIMRoDs REPORT LIMIT
BAGS OF DOVES
WERpIN REPORTED AS REGULAR
ROUGH RIDER
Party Which Accompanied Him to
Big Teiunsa Had All They
Wanted of Bad, Bunny
Roads

All kinds of hunters with all kinds OF
weapons are out pursuing the festive dove
these days but they are all wandering
far from their own iresides to do It.
There is nothing doing with the brides
close to home, and everything but the
automobile has been deserted as means
Of transportation.
Dave Katz, Harry Webb, Ed TUFTS, Il.
r. Werdin, Bobby Ross and George
Adams made up a neat little party which
went out after them and returned with
reports of a limit bag. The bunch es-
corted two machines to the mouth OF the
Big Tejunga, and save for the fancy rlde
which Werdin gave the occupants or ms
auto the trip was made without especial
incident.
According to Dave Katz, Werdin is the
original rough rider and has Billy Reuss
and the rest of these rambling roadsters
beaten at every turn on the highway.
The trip over the toughest roads in the
country was made in record time, and II
Werdin missed bump either coming or
going Katz says neither he nor any OF
the other occupants of the tonneau no
ticed it.
According to all reports the same bunch
will take another shot at ii today, and
this time they will have to produce the
goods or no tales of limit bags VIII be
believed. The efforts of the entire party
were directed toward getting Bill Tufts
to go along, but the corpulent one decided
he would rather take his at the beach in
stead of at the Big Tejunga.
Guy Lovelace and Charlie Van Valken-
berg made up a small but select party
wrich drifted out to Ensino last night,
and as they claim to know right where
the brides go to sleep another story of
how to kill the limit can be expected.
Louie Denker and his bunch also went
out yesterday. and they expect to return
from Cucamonga today with a tonneau
full of birds.
BernaI Dyas and Charlie Van Loan are
two who will make Seven Oaks their
headquarters while roaming the noun
tains with either gun or rod. Vincent will
join them later and the trio is expected |
to do something to the trout and deer at
the noted San Bernardino county resort.
Harry Lusk and "Saddlerock Tom took |
a run out to Calabasas the other day. and |
the best they got for their long jaunt was
one measely little bird, which bore all |
the evidences of having been ready for
the grave long before they appeared on
the scene Tom came back home with a
story of how he and Lusk each bagged |
the limit after an hours shooting, but a |
wise farmer who thought Tom wanted |
the story told came along and spoiled it |
all by coming through with the real truth |
The woods will be full of hunters next
Saturday and Sunday and in all probable |
ity the San Fernando wash, which has
not been overrun this year, will get its
full quota. The country up above Saugus
will also be visited in more than usual
numbers, and unless the birds are much
wilder than they We're last Tuesday limit
Days which will bear inspection should
be brought in.

BULL FIGHTERS WILL BE
BUSY WITH WILD ONES
Since Ring Battles Drifted Into Pork
and Bean Affairs Sports Are
Watching Tia Juana
Events

Since Los Angeles turned from being
the fight center of the country to the
home of the pork and beaner the sports
who formerly thirsted for sight of the
gore of their fellow man have switched
attitudes and are now taking an interest
in bull fighting. The fights which were
held at Tia Juana recently drew all kinds
of SPECTATORS from Los Angeles and the
management of the ring is encouraged
to stage a few more of the CORY battles
between man and beast.
According to the present program Sun
day is the date on which the next bull
fight will be held in the Lower California
city While the names of the head guys
are enough to give a white man lockjaw
they are said to be all to the chile con
carne when it comes to stabbing bull
in the eye, and they will go through the
stunt again.
Antonio Perez Torerito de Sevilla is the
main squeeze, and he is down on the
program as the champion matador of the
world, with diploma in his pocket signed
by the king and queen Of Spain. Fran
cisco Alonzo Paquiro is also there with
the big graduation certificate, and Con
zalo Junquera Gonzalito will do the pole
vault over a flying toro. Perhaps these
are stage names, but If they are the bull
fighters had better be careful they do
not trip over them when festive toro
is in full tilt after them.
But names or no names, the bull fighters
will make merry in the Tia Juana ring
next Sunday and also on the Sunday
following. Five bulls have been brought
IN from Durango to make sport for the
populace, and according to the publicity
department of the big named show they
are the fercest thing ever turned in off
the range

PUEBLO, Colo. July 1S-Jim Flynn
won easily here tonight from Dave Barry
of Chicago in the seventh round of what
was scheduled TO be a 2O-round bout.
Barry was completely outclassed
throughout and was badly battered by
Flynn. In the sixth round he was
floored by a terrific right to the jaw
and the gong alone saved him. When
the seventh opened he was still weak and
after Flynn had knocked him through
the ropes Jack Curley threw up the
towel.
Barry's right eye was closed in the
second and his left eye was almost
closed when the seventh round opened.

ARMY AND NAVY UNION
WANT CANTEEN RESTORED
BY Associated Press.

Dy <hSsUUIdIeu I-Teso.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-The conven-
ton of the Army and Navy union today
voted in favor of the restoration of the
army canteen and for an increase of 10
per cent in the pay of petty officers and
enlisted men of the navy on every four
years of service.
The resolution in favor of the resto-
ration of the army carteen Declares:
"That our own experience has shown
beyond question that the sale of beer and
light drinks in the army canteen was a
veritable temperance measure; that it
aided in promoting the moral welfare and
comfort of the men in the posts and
camps and that no greater blow to genu-
inc temperance was ever struck than
when the law was repealed"
