Wood Saving Has Un-

Toledo Prize Fight Return
10 Bestiality. the Rev.
David Covell of Trinity
Episcopal Says.

The prize nght in Toledo was .
return to bestiality. II was a de-
grading spectacle. The state of
mind OF those who witnessed it was
identical with that of the audience
at Spanish bull fight. or at the
old Roman gladiatorial combats. The
audience wanted to see blood spilled.
They attended the fight for no other
reason
The Rev. David Ransonne CoveIl,
B. D.. pastor of Trinity Episcopal
Church. in his sermon hast night on
the Willard-Dempsey night. drew q
sharp line OF division between scien-
tihc boxing exhibitions and the
manly art Of self-defense, and COM
mercial. blood-spiliing prize fights.
DR.. Covell himself was once promi-
nent in local athletics and his SER
mon on the fight was from a COM
mon sense standpoint and not from
the religious viewpoint at all. His
argument in this respect is that
nothing is religious unless it smacks
OF common sense. Therefore the
church will not argue a prize fight
from a religious standpoint
Il am a strong believer in the art
of self-defense," said DR.. CoveIl.
And I believe that. in consideration
of modern ideas and methods of ser
tling disputes, when two men can
not arbitrate their differences by
words or other counsel, then II is
time to go behind the fence and go
at il hammer and tongs-
willard and Dempsey were
matched to produce a debasing
spectacle. They fought to satisfy
the blood lust of the audience

our greatest internal foes.
There is no anchor in anarchy
for the ship of State. There is no
brotherhood in Bolshevism. The
failure of both of these classes To
