Q Experts Recognize Do1Uney As Wilson's Conquer0r
DOWney
 As Candidate TOBOXDelaney

''I guess I'll have to get Bryan Downey here for your man Delaney" Connie Lewis whispered to Al Jen- nings, Delaney'S manager. on the street yesterday. Delaney's win over Colima, the Mexican fighter, in New York, Monday night, boosted the To- cal boxers stock considerable in his home town.
 Although the midd1eweight cham pionship is in dispute as a result of the Cleveland Boxing Commission reversing the decision of Referee Jinn- my Gardner, who gave Champion Johnny Wilson the decision on a foul in the Cleveland bout, the consensus of opinion among local boxing fans who weke heard on the subject, was that Wilson was the loser and was decisively outclassed by the sensa- tional Cleveland boxer.
 The Cleveland omnliSsion. it was reported, is going to issue an official statement of it's action. and if it is reversal of the referees decision, Downey will be recognized as the new midd1eweight champion by the commissions in the leading cities.
 Late Cleveland reports say that Downey tipped the scales at 154 pounds on the afternoon of the bat tie, while Wilson is alleged to have weighed TYP pounds.

Ne APPROVES OUR COURSE

Last week too late for pubhcation
we received letter from +. L. Rao-
ford Ozone. from which we take the
following:
Il was very glad to read your edi-
torial in last weeks paper on Revivals
and whiskey. if | may call it such.
am glad that your paper is using us
influence to build up sentiment
against one of the worst evils that
this country is cursed with, 1t VIII
be hard to have those who nave
grown up with it to see the evil OF
their, way, but let us do all that IS
possible to have our young men ana
boys understand what hell on earth
It makes for SO many. In our revivals
and religions life we are so apt TO
preach of the life to come without
fighting to move some of the obstac-
les that keep back SO many OF our
young people IRON realizing that lie
lit is hard to legislate people into
righteous life, and hard to destroy an
evil which sentiment is not against
The Prohibition Law will never be
fully respected until people fully re-
alize that whiskey is a detriment that
will always keep our nation in slavery,
to some extent The use OF 1t can
we'll be given up, there is no greater
force than the press of this day in
buildiNg UP sentiment against th;s
evil. =
Very sincelely.
