Vicar Talks Gospel
In Public Houses

London, Dec. 7-(P)-The Rev. A.
w. Barker, vicar of st. Mary Mag
dalene church in a London working
class district, believes in taking the
church to the public house and talk
ing conversion over a casual glass of
beer. On this account he has be-
come known as the "Publicans'
Bishop" of which title he is very
proud.
IF my parishioners won't come 20
church, the only thing l can do is to
take the church to them, which 1 dc
nearly every day in the year." says
the vicar. Il have always found that
people are much MOI willing to fall
into a religious discussion over a
glass of beer in a public house than
in any other environment"
The vicar conterdG - minister
may talk religion as well in a public
house as in a church.

Seek Location Beds
Fresh Water Mussels

The Department of Inland Fish
cries and Game has an inquiry from
q non resident as to the location of
the largest number of fresh water
mussels in Maine. He calls atten-
ton to the fact that the shell Is
used in the manufacture of the So
called pearl button, and they are
valuable if they can be found in
sufficient quantities.
He further writes that he could
furnish employment to quite a num-
Der of people if they know where
these shells are to be found and
care to look the matter up.
The Department of Inland Fisher
les and Game will be glad to give
further information upon this sub
Ject to any one who can furnish in

Joe Howard to Meet Andre An

Hartford Aug. SO-Joe Howard,
state amateur middleweight boxing
champion and Bat Battalino. the
Connecticut featherweight cham
rion, face hard battles on the anna
teur card at Capitol Park Hartford,
tonight.
Howard will tangle with Andre
Anderson, who halls from Boston
and the holder of the Massachusetts
middleweight crown, while Batta-
limo takes on Johnny Rizzo. also of
Boston and also the Bay State
champion in the 126-pound class.
There has been some criticism be-
cause Howard and Battalino have
on some occasions met little oppo-
sition in their bouts at the park,
but tonight, with two Massachus-
sets title holders arrayed against
them, both Connecticut champions
should have their hands full.
Another Boston amateur, Jack
Skotz, will also make the trip down
from the Hub and he will engage

welterweight champion and now
living in Hartford.
There will be eight bouts.

.DEMPSEY'S NOSE
IS Still INTACT
Hard Knocks Of Training Haven't
Hurt Celebrated PrObOSCiS

Atlantic Cit. N. j.. Aug. 80. Up
Jack Dempsey's rebuilt nose, per-
maps the most celebrated proboscis
OF modern times, was still intact to-
days as Grecian as ever after having
been subjected to terrific batter
ing from three weeks of his training
campaign.
Ringsiders who have been sitting
around the champions outdoor
arena waiting with gasping breath
for something to happen every time
he gets a solid smack on the nose
have given UP hope of seeing any
thing happen at all.
Some had expected to see the nose
smash in a thousand pieces or
spread all over his face. Nothing
has happened. Dempsey says moth
ing will happen.
Dempsey is the least concerned
of all over his nose. In fact, he
has urged his rough playmates to
take a healthy sock at it. Several
of them have done pust that, with
no distress to the CHAMPION.
There is nohing to worry about"
Dempsey said today. My nose is
really better for fighting than Tun-
ney's. 1t will give under the strain
OF a hard punch If I hadn't gone
into the movies after the operation,
the public never would have thought
anything about it."
One reason why the public has
believed Dempsey's nose would
prove a handicap, instead of a help,
was that it was reported to have
been remodeled from parafin,
rather insubstantial substance to
Withstand the battering of the ring.
AS a matter of fact. there is not
bit of any foreign substance in the
built-over organ. Jack had a pair
of blooming cauliflower ears. An
ingenious operation was performed
which removed this excess cartilage
for use in building the bridge of the
proboscis.
Dempsey believes the new organ
is better than the old, because
cartilagen while tough, will give
under the stress of punches instead
of swapping as bone will.
The effort to become a movie
hero was one reason for the opera
ton which killed two birds with
one knife but it was not the princi-
pal motive.
The old nose with its broken
bridge forced him to breath though
his mouth, a serious handicap TO
any fighter. With the new one he
has a clear air passage and the old
and snorting is notable by
Its absence during his present |
workouts.

1 infield. Meehan, however, might
have Jared better If the Rangers
hits had gone farther, for his in
fielders made ten errors behind him
and more than offset his box work.
Denton could not accustom himself
to third base and made four errors
before man had been retired in
the second inning. Cherry beat out
bunt to him in this frame and
kept on when the throw was wild.
Kennedy hit TO Meehan and Cherry
was trapped, but Denton again
tossed poorly and there were men
on first and third. Kennedy hit
down the third base line and Cherry
scored when Denton fumbled. Will
erring ceaser. but three runs scored
before a double play ended the in
ming.
The next session started with hits
by Recano. Hayes and Cherry.
These were followed by three more
errors and a single by Lindgren,
six runs coming in. Then Meehan
frightened and allowed only one
more mt, no ranger SeIuns sale
blow after Jack Argosy had started
the fourth with single. The team
scored once more in the seventh on
a walk, a sacrifice, and two errors.
The Robins made their only count
er in the same inning on an error
by Recano and singles by Suess and
Cowles.
Gherry's all around work fea-
tured; he got two hits, a walk, and
a sacrifice, stole three bases, and
played pretty game at first,
Meehan handled several hot ones
through the box. Jack Argosy out
pitched him by slight margin,
however, and deserved his victory.
The box score:
