TOO JEALOUS FOR
 FAITH; ARRESTED

T have sworn myself to God once and I refuse to do it again" said John Abramovich, aged B, of 197 Hamilton street. a Russian ron-confornist. who was arrested yesterday on Hallett street in the vicinity of the Greek Orthodox churcl as he was peddling hand-bills calling communists of the Greek and Russian Orthodox church to the fold of protestant body.
 The charge preferred against the missionary consisted of spreading pamphlets without a license. He pleaded guilty in the City court this morning and judgment was suspended upon the payment of costs.
 Abra.movich appeared in court with one of the pamphlets and a bible pub Iished by the American Bible Society of New York. which bible. the of fender claimed, contained the cor~ect interpretation of his faith The book is printed in the Russian language A sample hand-bill is being translated by the police.
 It was at first thought by the police that Abramovich is not only a reltg- louS fanatic but a Bolshevist as that particular section of the East side where he resides is known to be a, hot-bed of Bolshevism. However. the 1E~1n has never been connected with any political activity and it is now believed that he is merely doing mis- slon5ry work.

The topic of the sermon of Rev Paul E. Edwards at the First Meth odist church last night was Buried Wells Restored from Genesis 26:15.1s, And Isaac digged again the wells which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father"
 After saving that when Abraham had digged the wells the Philistines had filled them with dirt he said:
 Thus are we reminded by this tale from wonder day of that ceaseless con flict waging between evil and good In individual life, in community, state, nation, in society at large, the right Is never unopposed. Evil ever chal- lenges to combat. The moment the vell-disposed element in society in augurate a reform, the moment they accomplish the establishment of right eousness, that moment their accom- plishments are antagonized."

GPORT YARNG O BY THE VETERAN O

While bouts between middleweights attracted some attention in the early days of American pugilism, the prin- cipal interest centered in the com bats of the heavyweights and 1t was not until 1884 that n movement was started to establish a recognized middleweight class. and to arrange championship battles between men of this weight
 Several of the boxers who fought for the heavyweight title in the early days were middleweights. Yam kee Sullivan, who fought for the heavyweight championship against Tom Hyer. the first American heavy weight title-holder. fin 1S49, weighed only 152 pounds. while Hyer was a giant. standing six feet two. In 1853 Sullivan fought John Morrissey for the big title, and had the best of it, but lost on a foul. By 1884 there were many good middleweights, and just flfty-five years ago today the first of a series of elimination bouts was held to decide the title.
 By 1887 Tom Chandler had clear ly demonstrated his superiority, and he became the first generally rec ognized midd1eweight champion. He held the title only about a. year, and was SuCCceded Dy GeOrBe ROOke, WnO held on to the honor from 1888 to 1874. In the latter year Mike Dono- van, long instructor of boxing at the New York A. C., annexed tho title. Mike began fighting in 1866, after having fought as a soldier in the Civil War. He held the middle weight title until 1883. when he re- tired undeteated to take the job he held until his death a few years ago.
 everal claimants came forward for the vacated title. and fin 1888 "Non- parlel" Jack Dempsey of Brooklyn. T native of Ireland, and Jack Fogarty of Philadelphia, fought for the American championship. with two ounce gloves, under Queensberry rules. Dempsey knocked out Fogarty out in the twenty-seventh round, and held the title until 1889, when he was knocked out by Marine" George La Blanche, n French ch-Canadian. Other famous holders of the title were Bob Fftzsimmons, Kid Mccoy and Stan ley Ketchel.
