Jew and Gentle, friend and stranger,
Think you any were denied?.
For the sons of men-of all men
Christ, their Lord and Master, died.
And the sons of men-of all men
We're their friends and helpers there,
Hebrew was it, or Dissenter,
Ofttime kept them from despair?
Cretin, Cretin, Bishop Cretin,
Love would linger on the name;
From the quiet shades of Ferney,
With intrepid aides he came.
Then the seed that Loras planted
Galtier watered, Ravoux fed,
Joseph Cretin caused to flourish,
Far and wide it's branches spread.
Space forbids, yet Caillet, Oster,
GEMS, Tissot bore such parts,
That their names must ever echo
In the chambers of our hearts.
Sterling laymen, who shall name
them?
| may only say "Bon jour-"
Vital Guerin, Gervais, Robert,
Grace and Reardon, Larpenteur.
Mergeth now the past and present;
Friends and neighbors in this place,
Stand uncovered as we name him,
Our beloved Bishop Grace.
Not for me the further Inning
OF the picture, but instead,
With you all pray Gods blessing
On the living and the dead.
If thy walls could speak, Cathedral,
Re-echoing the half century past;
Hark! That master voice uplifted
Like trenchant trumpet blast;
All! it's marvellous unfoldings
OF the grandeur of Gods plan;
| All! those sermons; their chief lesson
Gods muniicence to man!
Other temples to the Godhead
Hold their human memories,
OF anointed, girded soldiers,
Down through all the centuries.
When reveille sounds in heaven
Our high pride need fear no fall;
Hippo hath her great Augustine
Old Cathedral of st. Paul.

One OF the most interesting develop

manner In which polo ponies have
proven their worth at the front. II Is
asserted by English officers that the
polo mounts impressed into service
have made a remarkably fine showing,
outclassing other types In speed, en-
durance. and ability 10 travel long dis
taHces on short rations. The report
Is especially pleasing to numerous
American officers who have contended
that the modern polo pony, OF about
10 hands, Is an ideal type for cavalry
service.

CLAIM
MIDDLE CHAMPION
Australians Say Mick King Has
Earned Right to Contested
Title

Just as we are getting primed for a
fight between Mike Gibbons and Jim
my Clabby for the middleweight cham
pionship, along comes the news that
the rest OF the world-at least as
much OF the rest OF the world as can
find time at present TO think of things
fistic-believes that a certain young
Australian, Mick King by name, holds
the worlds middleweight title and that
the claims OF the whole American con-
tingent OF contenders are nil.
Australia, at present, is a better
fight country than the United States.
Despite the war, the whole OF the
little continent is wild oyer the ring
game, and some OF the Antipode
arenas are the finest in the world.
There they have long fights and deci-
sions. and the Australians are really
In better shape TO decide titles than
anybody else at present.
The manner in which this King,
who Is Newcomer and still in his
teens, captured the title that is
credited TO him. supplies an inter
esting tale. King, who held the cham.
pionship OF Australia, has Just de-
feated Jeff Smith. whom other coun
tries are said TO have recognized as
the champion. Smith Is an American
! boy from New Jersey but his name
does not appear as yet in our record
books. Nevertheless, II is asserted
that he has 15-round decision over
George Chip, a Knockout over Adrien
Hogan, the middleweight champion oi
Europe, and decisive 20-round deci
| sions over Eddie McCioorty and Jimmy
Clabby. all in Australia
King Is from West Australia. Hs
began boxing In 1911, and has only
had 80 fights, losing one, a 20-rount
decision, In his third contest Hi:
knockout wallop won % OF the re
manning battles.
And strange 10 relate, II was JET
Smith who taught him the game.

CREDITS FOR SPORT
in LOCAL SCHOOLS
Detroit Plan Expected to Result
in Greater Interest in
Athletics

The Detroit Board of Education has
taken a revolutionary step that will
put the high schools of this city in
the forefront as supporters Of inter
scholastic athletics. Hereafter, II is
decreed, students will be allowed two
hours credit for each semester's work
in gymnasium classes, basketball
games, on the gridiron, the diamond
and the track, and even for aquatic
sports However, no student can re-
ceive more than 16 hours credit for
athletics during his entire course. The
limit is provided for the purpose OF
preventing too much sport and not
enough study.
The credits will be awarded to aff
students who try TO make the teams,
as well as those who are of varsity
caliber. The new ruling will make
ii an object for more students TO get
into athletics and stay in, regardless
of their success in impressing coaches
as TO their worth as regulars. A boom
in interclassS athletics Is now expect
ed.
That the scholastic standing OF the
Detroit schools may not suffer. l6O
hours will be required for graduation
is more than heretofore.

new tale OF the circumstances
surrounding the re-leap of Walter
Johnson Is going the rounds. and as
result some new and interesting
angles are added 10 the incident. 1T
is asserted that during the baseball
meeting at New York early this
month, which was supposed 10 be the
deadest confab ever held as far as
news was concerned, Clark Griffith
corraled Fred Clarke, manager OF
the Pirates and a close friend, and
confided TO the Pittsburgher that a
letter had come from Johnson in
timating that the twirler was In a
mood to repent.
Clarke, so the story runs, immedi-
ately promised that he would stop at
Coffeyville on his way TO his western
home, and see IL Griffith-Johnson
meeting could be framed This the
Pirate chieftain did. and finding John
son in an agreeable frame of mind, i'm
wired Griffith TO come on 10

result OF that conference is now
ancient history.

the general counsel for the Federal
league, has retained Keene Addington
and Silas Strayn, OF Chicago, as as
sistant counsel, and with his associ
ates is preparing TO fight for Johnson
In the courts. Charley Weeghman,
president of the Chifeds. now declares
that the $4,000 advanced 10 Walter
was not a bonus for his signature, as
has been popularity believed, but
straight advance on the big twirler's
salary.
When Manager Joe Tinker met
Johnson in Coffeyville incidental to
signing him. says Weeghman, ''the
latter named his terms, which were
acceptable. After agreeing upon this
question, Johnson asked that we pay
him $4,000, spot cash, the money 10
represent an advance on his total sai
airy OF $4,000 for two years he had
agreed 10 play with our club.
Tinker Immediately wired me 10
this effect and within an hour after
received his message, telegFaphed
back a draft for the amount demand
ed by Johnson. AS l understand II,
he wanted the money to assist his
brother in building garage in COT

Just what effect Weeghman's con.
tention may have on the case Is
matter for the future to decide.
