Boxers Go at Fast Pace

The bout went along at fast clip. the boxers apparently being as fit in the 10th as in the first round Both Rivers and Glynn showed brilliant flashes, when they sent home to body or face, blows that clearly had the wallop in them. Rivers displayed par ticularly aggressive tactics in the third, fourth and fifth rounds. his av- aIanche of hooks and jabs visibly slowing Glynn up. But Glynn came back strong in the sixth. and eneour- aged by the drawing of blood on his opponent. by the laeeration under the left eye. fought his most brilliant round and rained powerful right and left hooks to the head and body, which, however. did not seem to af- feet Rivers particularly.

And on the other hand Dinny was q strong fayorite with the crowd. these spectators de claring that despite the fact that Xiv CTS was the aggressor almost all the way. Glynn had landed as many if not more rocking blows and succeeded in cutting Rivers under the left eye in the sixth round.
 However, it was the unanimous opinion of the crowd that the boxers put on a snappy, satisfactory eNhibi- ton, and that each gave good ac- counting of himself. While some dis agreed with the decision. it was ap- parent that n strong percentage of the spectators agreed that the boxers fought their way to nothing more than an even break.

 The managers have acted upon their consciousness that all who work in their organizations are fellow hu- of the managers Is also the spirit of the great majority of the workers.
 "The Unitarian Laymen's league is not equipped to make a complete cah- vass of all the concerns in the United States and Canada in which indus trial harmony prevails. but certainly the fact that, in every case reported, success in business and industrial harmony have gone hand in hand with action based upon the principles. of mans brotherhood with man, Is a straw which probably indicates the direction of the wind"
 These surveys were authorized by the annual convention of the Lay mems league, held in September 1921, it Narrangansett Pier, R. l., to which 1s6 of the leagues PAP chapters sent delegates The report of the com mittee in charge will be submitted at the 1922 convention, to ze held at New London.
