NOVELIST SINCLAIR

Noted Writer Comes to This

Author of "The Jungle Says
He Has Done His Share

Upton Sinclair, socialist and novelist,
arrived in this city yesterday in quest
Of a home. Incidentally he will speak
at a lecture TO be given at Dreamland
rink on Thursday evening by Gaylord
Wiltshire, publisher of a socialist maga-
zine, who, Sinclair says, is responsible
for his conversion to socialism.

his ride to Los Angeles.

home" he said, land am now looking
over the country. I will not. however,
be able to permanently reside in the
state for a year TO come.
Il am very much interested in the
local graft situation. 1 am a great
friend of Lincoln Steffens and have read
all that he has written on the subject.
The situation is the most fragrant that
have ever heard OF. The graft has
been so glaringly exposed, II appears
so badly to everybody's mind, that I
am surprised that the people still stand
for it, and at the same time acknowl-
edge the graft.

Judge Lindsey is fighting for the right
and because in seeking to arrest the
evil influences that were damning the

he will be defeated. 1t is such con-

PRIZE FIGHTS IN CHURCH.
WITH PASTOR AS REFEREE

LONDON, Jan, 4.-The Church OF
England nowadays Is put to queer shifts
TO attract congregations. Concerts, Ian
tern shows, and topical sermons have
been introduced as bats for filling the
churches, but the most daring and orig
inal device must he credited TO the Rev
Edward Dtgby, curate OF st. MiChaeIs.
Coventry, who is making q new mission
church popular with the young men of
the parish by holding an athletic club
there.
Every evening except Sundays the
working lads Of Coventry come to the
church to develop their muscles. They
hold boxing contests and practice gym
nasticS under the eye Of the curate who
IS muscular Christian % and acts as
referee and instructor.
To avoid desecratiOn.- the altar is
screened or during the club meetings.
Each lad pays twOpence a cents a
week for the privileges Of using the
church as a clubhouse.
Naturally Mr.. Digby has made himself
very popular with the youth Of his
parish. They are mostly workers in the
Coventry factories, and find their only
recreation in the church boxing club.
The pastor makes a picturesque figure,
in his cassOck and berretta. smoking Gig
arettes while he times the boxing
matches and puts the boys through their
gymnastiC exercises. ...--
Meanwhile the girls Of the parish are
not being neglected. and Mr. Digby's
aunt has opened a dancing class for
them.
