GLOVE CONTEST
MAY Be FATAL
BOUT HELD IN PARISH HOUSE
"GYM"
In Case Athlete Who Was Injured
Dies, Members Of Rich Flock
Are Very Liable to Be
Arrested

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-It was
learned today that Jack" Mason,
young athlete who has been uncon-
scious NOR than n week In an uptown
hospital, received the blow which
caused his injury and will result In
his death, l.. n boxing bout at the par
ish house of st. Bartholomew church,
one of the richest and most famous
Episcopal churches in New. York.
For over a week the case of the
young athlete has puzzled surgeons,
who wonder he Is still alive.
This afternoon the police began an
official investigation. CAPT. Lantry In
command of the East Fifty-first street
station, declares that as soon as Mason
dies there will be arrests which will
bring the exclusive and fashionable
congregation into unpleasant notice.
Doctors Can't Awake Him.
For week and half Mason, who
is champion of the Mott Haven Ath-
letic club, has been lying in stupor,
first at his fathers home in Harlem
and later at a hospital as the result
of injuries received in a boxing exhi-
bition.
The scene of the contest was the
splendidly equipped gymnasium at the
parish house. 205-213 East Forty-sec-
ond street. Before he became bishop
the Rev. DR.. Green, as rector of the
church, was prominent in the conduct
of the parish house.
The present rector. the Rev. Leigh
ton Parks, d. D.. Is now the moving
figure in it's management.
The athletic director of the mems
club of the parish under whose aus
piceS the fatal bout took place is A.
C. Harvey. The referee this particu-
lar night was Thomas Sawtelle. About
10 o'clock young Mason was matched
to spar with youth of his own
weight, 124 pounds. The name of his
opponent was not given. The two
were to go three rounds. They seemed
to be evenly matched.
Foul Blow Causes Injury
In the third round, during rally in
which Mason slipped and went to the
floor, his opponent eXcitedly followed
up his advantage and as Mason arose
let fly right handler. 1t struck Mason
on the side of the skull and toppled
him backward, his head striking the
hardwood floor.
He remained in an unconscious con-
dition several minutes, and when re-
vived declared he was none the worse
for his experience. His adversary
came forward and apologized for the
foul blow and was forgiven by Mason
smilingly.
The day following young Mason was
seized with severe pains in the head
and took to his bed. His family ply
sician pronounced the case concussion
of the brain. Mason's ceath is ex-
pectet. at any time.

The Lyceum Bureau Held its Annual Meet
ing Last Friday Evening.

At it's annual meeting on Friday
evening, the DEBORAH Lyceum Bureau
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year:
DIR. M. Willett, President.
Prof. l.. S. Rogue, Vice President.
Prof H. @. Johnson, Secretary.
w. +. Baker, Treasurer.
N. III. Adams and f, J. Hook, Men,
berA of the Executive Committee.
The treasurer's report indicated that
the receipts for the year about equal
led the expenditure.
500 was appropriated to the DEBORAH
Public Library from the surplus fund
now ON hand
A motion was made, receiving the
unanimous vote of the Bureau, au-
thorizing the secretary to state that
the Lyceum Bureau is not responsible
for, nor in any way identified with,
the Chautauqua movement, which has
been active in the town for the past
few weeks The impression seems to
have gone out that the Bureau was
active in organizing Chautauqua
for the coming summer. The canvass
ing for the Chautauqua is done by
the Redpath Lyceum Bureau of Chi
cago, and is entirely independent of
the local organization.
