WORKING FOR
NEW CHURCH

The work of securing signatures to
a petition to Archbishop Quigley of the
Chicago Catholic and diocese for the
permission of establishing a new con-
gregation, on the north side, in West
Hammond is under way. and is said to
be progressing satisfactorily.
Miss Virginia Brooks, who is lending
her efforts to the work. although not
a member of the church, was told by
Archbishop Quigiey that the congrega-
ton to begin with must be made UP OF
at least sixty families. Miss Brooks
Is confident that If a church can be
established on the north side that 1t
would be a most powerful influence to
drive out the dives that flourish there
now.
If those who are most interested in
the work are successful, they will in
all probability have a priest in charge
or the new congregation by June 1 of
this year.

MIKE GIBBONS'S MODESTY
SHOCKS FIGHT MANAGERS
By Ed CurEey

FEW YORK, n. Y, Sept 4.-When
nj Mike Gibbons, the St Paul

ago showing the boys just how clever
a man can be in a ring, everybody re
marked to everybody else- w ny, what
a modest chap that lad is
Well, he amt! If you don't peISve
it ask any of the club managers IN TINS
town. The latter are running aroun9
in circles and shouting at the top OF
their mellifluOus voices: 1t can De
done, nOhOWi"7
Mike can blame the whole trouble
on himself. A few weeks ago ne sent
out notices (as all pugilists do) an
nouncing that he was coming Dack 20
the town where he got a real start II
was great stuff, and everybody ate II
up. The managers began TO flgure
how to put in extra seats, Tor. Mike
was quite a card, and then Immediately
wired him flattering offers to come
here and battle.
Michael received the messages and
smiled long and often.
Your offers are very pleasing, ne
wrote, but being that the high cost
of living has struck this town, kindly
add $4,000 to the bids and III then
agree to the terms.
This friendly reply, in addition 70
the heat, rain, the sudden change IN
the weather was the blOwoff. The
managers are resting comfortably, and
