POOR AS A CHURCH aousE
Since Confetti Came Into Use, the
Saying Has More Meaning Than
at Former Times.

The sexton of a fashionable New
York church was sweeping Into a
large mound the bright purple. red
and yellow discs Vi confetti which lit
tered the church entrance and steps.
"This month" he said, Il have had
already 30 weddings in my church.
And at every one of these weddings
paper confetti was thrown at the
bride instead of rice
"The confetti fashion is very well
come to us sections When rice was
used our churches were overrun with
mice. The saying, AS poor as a
church mousse was then meaningless.
Why, In my church, where weddings
are 80 popular. several hundreds of
mice--fat chaps they were, too
found an ample food supply in the
rice that was sprinkled over the
brides.
Now that rice has been aban-
doned for paper confetti, these mice
have all disappeared. They were
starved out They couldn't live on

up than rice. But, even So hope the

GORDON LOOSES
TO FREDDIE BURNS

Before the largest crowd that ever
attended a boxing match in Vinita
Freddie Burns of indianapolis was
awarded the decision over Bart Gordon
at the end of their fifteen round bout
at the Grand theatre last night
The contest was the best that has
ever been staged in Vinita. Both
boxers fought clean and stood toe to
toe at times and swapped punches.
Burns had a shade the best of the
long range fighting and cut a slight
cash over Gordon's left cheek in the
fifth round, while Gordon beat him
two to one on infighting and in
cliuches. Gordon staggered Burns in
the thirteenth round with a righ cross
and Burns was holding through the
fourteenth and fifteenth. The crowd
was most orderly and all were salts
fed that they got their moneys worth.
When Referee Meeks gave the deci-
sion to Burns, Gordon said he had no
excuse to offer, that he fought his best
and would like a return match as he
believes he is Burns master.
Burns accepted the challenge and
will be ready for the bout after he re-
turns from st. Louis where he has a
match with Art Magirl next week.
Rounds one and two were about
even with hard fighting from the start.
Rounds three and four Burns had a
little the best of these two rounds,
landing several left swings in Cor
don's face and although Gordon was
the aggressor from the start Burns
seemed to land freely on his face but
the force was not sufficient to do
much damage. Round five was about
even with both men landing several
left jabs to the face Round six was
Burns round. He landed righ
swing on Gordon's left cheek that
made his face bleed freely. Round
seven was Gordon's round. He went
after his assailant in dead earnest
landing several hard left swings on
Burns face. and in the clinches Cor
don had all the best OF 1t. Burns
slipped to one knee. Gordon tryed to
land rlgh swing that would have
put Burns out in this round. Rounds
eight to twelve were about even with
each round hard fought Round thir-
teen was Gordon's by a large margin.
He crowded Burns closely and it
seemed that every minute would end
the fight, This was hard fought
round and Burns breath seemed to be
failing. Rounds fourteen and fifteen
We're taken up principally with
clinehes which Gordon had the best
of. Both men were fighting hard when
time was called in the last round.
