Willie Lewis, the American mid
die weight, won another fight at Paris
on Saturday night. He knocked out
Jack Kingsland, an English middle
weight. in the third round of what
was to have been a fifteen round go at
the Cirque de Paris, the big fight club
in that country. Lewis had an easy
time with Kingsland, and after floor
ing him several times finally put him
away in the third with a wallop on the
jaw. Lewis has recovered entirely from
his severe case of grip.
That was a great battle our Amer
lean fighters, BARLEY Connolly of
Portland. Me-. and Jim Maher of Phil

year said Mr.. Trotter. and with the
elimination of a few of the items, s2,-
500 will probably suffice to carry on
the work this year. If you will raise
this amount I can tell v that the
mortgage of $4,000 on the new build
ing will be raised" A plea for support
was then made and several subscrip-
tons were taken for various amounts
ranging from 500 down to small
sums. The ushers passed about the
church with cards on which the peo-
pie stated the amount of their dona-
tions and their names pledging to pay
the amounts at stated intervals
through the year.
The subscriptions began with
pledges of various sums from the fol-
lowing:
Major Samuel Mahon, Henry Phil
lips and Mrs. Leo Stevens, 500 each.
Four pledges of $50 each were made
by joseph Dain, S. H. Harper and two
friends of the cause. Mrs. j. c. Bon
ham subscribed $50 and five s25
pledges were received from DR.. D. G.
Brockman. DR.. G. M. Work, w. B.
Bonnifleld, Margaret Mahon and Jas.
Devin. Martin Hutchinson and ]. K
Mahon each gave SIS. During the
budget subscriptions, Mr.. Trotter
spoke of the mortgage and DR.. Brock
man stated that he would be one of ten
men to raise $1,000, as that amount
was neeced TO make the $4,000 for the
mortgage payment, owing to the fol-
| lowing persons pledging various
amounts on condition that the balance
would be raised:
Mrs. Irane Kirshbaum $500, Mrs,
| Catherine Moore $500, Major Mahon
! $500, T. D. Foster $1,000, w. T. Hall
and and S. H. Harper 5000 each,
friend 500. The sum of $500 more was
pledged on the same conditions by Il
number of persons whose names are
not given.
The above with the various amounts
subscribed by the audience at both
churches and by those who were. seen
by the board of the mission who have
been hard at work on the matter for
some time past, brings the total to
| date to S1,s00 toward the budget and
$500 with the safe assurance Of the
balance on the mortgage. Thus the
mortgage is as good as paid and bat
| $500 remains to be collected to meet
the budget.
At the close of the meeting Mr..
| Quartet sang and John Astra an
nounced that Mr.. Trotter will preach
at the Open Door Rescue Mission to-

Basketball is in the wind at the OF

the schedule for the representative
squad, Principal Hammitt has been
communicating for some time past
with various schools relative to games.
Among the old members to figure in

Stutsman, Cremer and Stentz, and in
Henry Wormhoudt and Whitfield Han
sell, two successors to Epps and LODI
wick are expected to develop. In the
near future, active practice will be-
gin.
The class of 1910 has selected Whit
field Hansell to captain its basketball
five and the freshmen have picked
Harry Montgomery to general the in

choose leaders, and then will come the
inter-class mixes.
The girls, too, are showing an ac-

woLeAsT SURPRISE ON COAST.
Milwaukee Boy Opens California Fans
Eyes in Twenty Round Fight
With Powell.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The easy
victory of Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee
over Lew Powell of San Francisco
Monday night was q great surprise to
local fight fans. who had been led TO
believe by Powell's repeated victories
he was worthy to meet Bat Nelson.
Powell was thought to be clever
boxer who mad much of Cans method
and style. but he failed to show a
hard punch and was unable to stop
Wolgasts rushes. The Milwaukee boy
rushed in close and then became an
animated pin wheel of all kinds of
blows, like Terry McGovern in his
best days.
The only credit that can be given
Powell is that he endured terrible
beating and lasted twenty rounds. He
did not have a shade over Wolgast in
any of the rounds. If Wolgast can de-
velop a harder punch local fans be-
lieve he will whip Nelson in twenty
rounds or a finish fight He will be
heavily backed here if he secures a
fight with Nelson.

the Savior by his tireless efforts in the
mission field 1--WE know and under

seen Mr.. Sillaway whom | love very
much point many men to the path of

a careless brother whose wildness is
being diminished by the helping eff
forts of Mr.. Sillway. Mr.. Trotter then
made an appearance in the church
and Mr.. Quartet closed in order that
the audience might hear the famous
mission man.
Recalls Opening of Mission.
In taking his stand before the audi
ence Mr.. Trotter told of the immense
gathering he just left at the South
Side church, saying that the crowd
there was sufficient to fill two
churches and a much larger crowd
than at the north side church. 81 told

will permit me to do So
He complimented the mission on
getting the uptown quarters on Main
street and told of the converts that il
would make That perhaps they would
not at least for a time enter the
churches. but not to mind that. That
for a time sinner rescued at the
mission would feel out of place ir

told of the duty of the Christian per

Pity the Drunkard.
In telling of his conversion from
the life of a drunkard to that of the
Christian, U. V. Sillaway made
strong plea for the men addicted to
drink and asked pity rather than cen
sure; urged aid rather than condemna-
ton and contempt. He emphasized his
remarks by saying that there are more
go down to hell sober than from the
saloon and brothel. Continuing, the
speaker said:
Il am glad l am a rescue mission
man, glad that have spent nine years
in the service of God in this manner.

days in your city during the past year

the father of rescue missions, Mel
Trotter. We went down to the old
place on Smoky Row and went

prayer has ever been that the mission
be gotten out of there and placed on

He reviewed some of lis past and
told of hearing the old song Throw
out the Lifeline" The mistake of many
people in trying to do a good work is
because they do not know the best
way to go about it.
Let Mission do the Work.
t'Now for instance" said he Il
know how to do missionary work and
many of you do not. If on the other
hand l should attemnt to fill this pull
pit should get it where Nellie wore
the beads So also it is with some
charitably inclined wealthy ladies who
would go to the poor sinner and try to
life them up by an advanced method
of philanthropy" Here the speaker re-
lated an instance where such person

panied by the footnan and carrying
her lorgnette, GLASSES on pole) and
held a lecture seance in a house visit
ed by death scolding the poor woman
because some of the children wore
shoes and had no sto kings, and be-
cause the place lacked much of the
cleanliness and comfort that she was
used to.
"Now my suggestion after years of
work in the business, is to make the
Open Door Mission your agent in this
work and give your contributions of
that kind to them for the proper dis
position You owe the support of this
good and worthy cause to your less
fortunate brother and sister Let

Timely Sport Notes
LOCAL LADS Star
AT Lake FOREST

Lake Forest, ILL.,, Dec. Edwin
Mather and Charles Brockman play
ing their last game of the season for
Lake Forest with De Paul university
Of Chicago on Thanksgiving day at
glory and incidentally landed the state
championship for the North Shore
school Mather playing at end and
Brockman at half, together with West
at quarter, were easily the stars of
the game.
In the defeat of II to handed out
to De Paul, Lake Forest avenged the
defeat of year ago by the score of Is
to H..
Four minutes after the game start
ed Lake Forest jumped into the lead
with a touchdown by Brockman, scor-
ed from a punt received. Kolb punted
to Brockman, who ran AS yards
through the whole De Paul team and
planted the ball squarely between the
goal posts. West failed to kick goal
and the score was to 0.
After the kickoff, punts were ex-
changed several times with the advan-
tage in favor of De Paul, but Brock
man and West carrying them back the
necessary difference each time.
Except for the great work of Math-
er and Brockman, Strauss goal from
field was easily the feature of the
game.
Early in the second half De Paul
held against vicious attack on Lake
Forests twenty yard line and Brock
man punted low and short. West and
MOI f1,1 Kohl s,,eS fr,
| time to take advantage of the rebound
and West broke away for a fifty yard
run for the second touchdown.
Lake Forest II, De Paul 8.
From this time on De Paul was pow
erless before the mighty onslaughts
headed against them by Captain Math-
er and Brockman, and few minutes
later came the opportunity for the
third score by Mather.
The ball was in De Paul's territory
and on delayed on-side kick Mather
grabbed the oval and ran through two
tacklers thirty yards to the goal. This
brought the score up to IL to 8, where
| time was called.
The victory brought to fitting eli
max the career of Mather, and was a
| good start for Brockman. All season,
Mather, playing at left end, has been
the star performer and the stumbling
block for the opposing teams. He has
been one of the principal ground gain,
ers for the team all season In the
game with Indiana state university he
scored the only touchdown by Lake
Forest after run of 40 yards and in
the game with Millikin university he
4 soorad the SINGLE Touchdown IN IN
yard run.
!. Mather and Brockman are both plac.
ed on the all-Illinois team. Last fall
Mather was the unanimous choice for
captain and is to be congratulated for
having led the most successful team
Lake Forest ever had.
