ESCHEW GAY EASTER RAIMENT
IN CHICAGO AND FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April s.
Easter Sunday 1917 will be remark
able for the fact that it's observance
in San Francisco churches did not
consist of fashion show for the main
attraction and divine services as an
excuse, if movement started in Chi
cago and taken up in San Francisco
is carried out.
A coterie of girl members of a
Christian Endeavor Society in Chi
cago started the idea when they decid-
ed to keep their fancy Easter bonnets
an dtheir new spring clothes in the
dark recesses of the family trunk on
Easter Day and to devote themselves
to the spiritual and not the decidedly
material form of worship. In San
Francisco the Rev. ]. H. Barney OF
the California street church made the
first step when he requested that the
choir of his church, which is to rend T.
CT elaborate Easter music, comes in
simple raiment, just to set good ex-
ample for the congregation.

RISE OF BOB DEVERE,
KANSAS CITY ELECTRICIAN
NOW FAMOUS RING FIGHTER

NEW YORK, April 5.-Several
years ago a young electrician crawl
ed through the ropes of ring In
Kansas City, Mo-, and went through
the motions of a scrap with Sailor
Grando.
Previous to this battle, the youthful
electrician had been earning SIS a
week at Excelsior Springs, Mo-. by act
ing as punching bag for Jim Flynn
the PUEBLO Fireman. Flynn was spend
ing his afternoons battering the cleo
tricians face, and the most enjoyable
mart of the day-for Flynn-was the
fact that he closed bith his youthful
opponents eyes every afternoon.
Bob Devere, the youthful electrician,
hung around Kansas City for long
time, fighting now and then and pick
ing up a little money. One night an
old time fight fan saw him in action
and, pointing his finger at the healthy
youth, declared that there stood fu-
ture heavyweight champion of the
world.
IF he takes the right sort OF care
of himself and is given the right sort
of management, he will be on top be-
fore many years have passed. Re
member what l told you"
Maybe the old fight fan made it a
little strong, but it is interesting to
note the climb of the youth.
4 He came to New York and had a
few alleged fights around the small
clubs in the metropolis, and then one
day they matched him with Jim Flynn
FLYNN grinned when he heard of the
match.
That's the kid l used to spar with
at Excelsior Springs" he said. He's
got a stout heart, but I'll beat him
sure"
Devere was carefully conditioned
for this bout He went into it with
instructions to use his left hand at
every opportunity on the fireman. 1t
was the first time he had ever at
I tempted to do any damaging punching
with that hand
He used his left with a jab and he
rammed home his right with an upper
cut that had Flynn's face split on his
forehead to his chin. In all his bat
ties it is probable the Pueblo iron
man never took a more thorough beat
! ing-and Devere, the former pupil of
the formidable Flynn, left the ring
without a scratch.
