Jewish Boy Wrests Crown
From Head of Negro

The Olympic Club fans witnessed
the crownng of new champion last
Tuesday night.
Harry "Heinie" Shuman proved to
every fight fan in Denver that his
comeback il in earnest when he de-
feated One-Step Watson in their four
round bout.
Is was Heinie's fight all the way,
and had it been n ten round bout,
Shuman would have won by knock
out. Watson's style did not bcwilder
Heinie as it has many other fighters
who have tried to beat Watson. He
took all Watson had and beat him to
the punch all the way.
Many Jewish faces from Cheyenne
(Heinie's former honey We're noticed
in the crowd. These people knew Shu-
man for the clean cut lad he is, and
were anxious to see their pride win.
Leonard Boskowitch won his fight
Jack kanner is always trying to place
at least one Jewish boy on each card,
for they always prove big attrac-
tion.

no one now believes that they actually
existed.
For thousands Of years" the critic
writes. Apollo. the god of light and
purity, was adored in innumerablc
temples. He had hosts of priests and
priestesses, and he guided the des-
TIMES Of men through his oracles. To
this very day his name remains hon
ored. But he never existed; no one
believes II in this, the twentieth cen.
tury.
"On the other hand, the fact that
he never existed detracts no more
from his significance than from that
of Achilles, Ulysses, Hamlet and
Faust. We know great deal more
about Ophelie and Marguerite than
we know about Mary and Martha in
the New Testament. Yet real exist
eace can no more be ascribed to the
latter than to the former. Divine fig
ures can never be affected by having
lived their true and only lives in the
mind of men.
1.-THE Christ figures as an ideal of
spiritual superiority of lover for hu-
manity, of charity and purity, was
many centuries older than the noble
minded Galilian man of the people
who, nineteen hundred years ago, was
SAID to have given historic embodi
ment to this prototype" Brandes
says. 1.-THE same figure will survive
him for centuries to come, even if he,
as now seems likely, should never
have existed"
Brandes attacks the historic relia-
bility of the Gospel writers, saying
at may be noted in general that
they had no interest in historic facts
The fact that their topography is as
poor as their chronology shows that
the evangelists possessed no real
knowledge of local conditions"
He calls the story of the twelve
apostles "a palpable piece of myth
ology," and declares the figure ol
Judas to be purely legendary, as su
perfuous to the general story ot
Jesus as "the fifth wheel in cart,
and ian absurdity explicable only a.
manifestation of the hatred felt b,
Gentle Christianity against the Jew
ish Christians in the second century
The legend has caused great mischief
That it ever gained credence does no
speak well for mans acumen.
: "The whole story of the Passion il
) so saturated with mythology that tn

J tion may be regarded as out of th'

ALEXANDER HAS BRAINS
BESIDES LEGS

Joe Alexander, one of the greatest
centers football has produced, has
succeeded Bob Folwell as coach Of the
professional football team, the New
York Giants.
Joe Alexander won nationwide
fame in l9l8-l9l9 when his brilliant
center play at Syracuse University
earned all-American honors. He was
the universal choice for honorable
mention in 1920. The former SYRIA
cuse star was one of the first to per-
feet the method Of coming out of line
and playing n rowing center. Strong
and aggressive. Alexander's system
Of backing up the forward line has
served as a model for many coaches.
Alexander is not only great play
er, but also a keen student of the
game. The new Giant coach was the
first to start line of Jewish football
heroes that contains the names of
Horweens of Harvard, Bennie Fried
man of Michigan, and Jim Bridges of
Princeton.

Riga.-(S.A.)-The second ami
versary of the establishment of the
Commissariat for Jewish Colonization
was the occasion for celebrations by
Jewish Communists throughout the
country.
"Emes," organ of the Jewish Com
munists in Moscow, had huge special
number devoted to the achievements
of Jewish colonization during the past
two years, in Ukraine, Crimea and So
Wet Russia One of the most impor-
tant articles is by Mereghin, Jewish
Communist leader, who declares: "We
have done more in two years than the
2ionists have accomplished in almost
a generation; and without World
Congress, and without sending innum-
cradle delegates abroad
The writer also chides DR.. Weiz-
mann for his attempt and inability to
enlist the moral and financial SYM
pathy of rich Jews for Palestine, cit
ing, however, the great interest which
these Jews have taken in Russian col.
onization, sending one commission af.
ter another to investigate its merits.

BENNY LEONARD STILL TALKS
A GOOD FIGHT

Benny Leonard finally went back
into the ring. The other day Benny,
who is covering the DempseyTunney
fighting camps for several news
papers, decided that the best way to
get the low down on the champion
was to actually confront him. This
Benny did. One of the best bits Of
boxing we ever read was Leonard's
account of his two rounds with Demp.
sey. Benny still insists that he will
not fight any more, but he still can
talk the old game. He reported that
the champion is the toughest man he
ever met who has style all his own.
And by the way, Benny had nice
black eye when the two rounds were
over. Which is nothing, considering
that most of Dempsey's sparring
partners have been carried away af-
ter workout with the champ.

Wanderers. The first half, ended,
however, with the Sparta holding an
advantage of 3 goals to .. 1t was
then the task Of the Wanderers not
only to hold the Sparta scoreless but
to score in order to win or tie the
game. The Wanderers succeeded. In
the second half, the Wanderers held
the Sparta one to nothing, thereby
tying the score, and showing the jew
ish and non-Jewish sporting world Of
America that they, the Hakoah-Wan.

GEORGE BRANDES, VETERAN CRITIC, ST|RS
RELIGIOUS LEADERS WITH new BOOK ON JESUS

Central Figure Of Christianity Is
Myth. Just a. Apollo. Hercules or
William Tell. Critic Says: Historic
Facts Confused by New Testament
Writers, He ASSERTS; Sermon on
the Mount is Hut Official Proclama.
tiOn Of Jewish High Priest, Lords
Prayer is Compilation Of Jewish
Texts.
The contention forwarded years ago
by Professor Arthur Drews, non
Jewish scholar, that Jesus of Naza.
reth never lived and that the central
figure Of Christianity is myth is
reiterated by Georg Brandes, the
world famous Danish Jewish author
and critic, in a new book, Jesus. A
Myth" OF which a translation is pub
lished this week by Albert and
Charles Boni. The publication of this
book last year in the Danish original
and its translation into German
reused a storm of discussion through
out Europe.
Professor Drews, who is professor
of philosophy in the Technilogical
College at Carlsruhe, Germany, wrote
two books on the subject, "The Christ
Myth" and the witnesses to the
Historicity of Jesus
Brandes is now in his eighty fifth
year. He lectured in New York in
1914 and attracted great attention. In
the long span of his life, he has ex-
ercised an influence on nearly all
European literature. He has been the
centre Of many important literary
controversies, and has been as out
spoken about his religious as his lite
rary opinions. Speaking of Thomas
Paine, he once said: "He was a
hereto; so am L.
The thesis of his book is that Jesus
Is as wholly fictitious and legendary a
figure as Hercules, Prometheus or
William Tell. Its arguments are based
on what the author declares to be
hopeless inconsistencies, contradictions
and impossibilities in the text of the
New Testament and upon analysis Of
histories and legends from other
sources. Its chief contention is that
the figure and teachings Of Jesus are
/ drawp from materials scattpref
through the Old Testament and put
together in poorly arranged and otter
inconsistent form.
| Nevertheless, Brandes adds, Jesus
will continue to be worshipped b,
Christians for thousands of years, a:
he has been in the past, and as Isl.
and Horus were worshipped, for a.
long or even longer periods, though

FORTUNE REQUIRED TO
KEEP UP kLAN FRONT

Washington, d. c., Sept. 16.-(J.T.
A. 1.-The Klansmen wound up their
"Klonvocation" yesterday, at times
excluding newspaper men from their
deliberations. One of these periods
was when the financial report of the
organization was submitted. Indica-
tions, evidenced by loud acclaim, were
that the klan is financially in good
condition.
DR.. Evans, as head of the Klan, ad-
mittedly has always put on fine
front commensurate with the dignity
of his position" hiring suites of rooms
in the best hotels, riding in the best
cars and taking the best of everything,
and the Klansmen assured him he was
doing the right thing.
"All right, boy (" said Evans, "I'll
strut my stuff"
DR.. Evans assured his listeners that
his policy has led the public to re-
spect the Klah. "When | make an ap-
pearance around here" he laughingly
said, 81 sure do cut some dog"
A resolution commencing the atti-
tude of the Gales government and
asking the United States to maintain
a "hands off" policy in the religious
strife in Mexico was adopted. The
resolution stated in part: Resolved,
by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
in convocation assembled, that we
sympathize with the present govern
ment of the Republic of Mexico in
its effort to free the people from stul-
| tifying foreign influences, to popular
ize education of the masses and to es-
tablish government of the people,
by the people and for the people"
| Washington, d. C.-Results of the
primaries throughout the country
show the present situation of the Klan
Charles w. Waterman, anti-klan can
didate, won the Republican nomination
for u. S. Senator of Colorado, defeat
ing Rice w. Means, who ran as a Klar
candidate.
The Klan received blow in Loui.
siana, where Senator Broussard, who
was renominated, faced the combined
opposition of the Klan and the anti.
Saloon League.
Frederick w. Steiwer, who defeated
r. N. Stanfield for the Republican
Senatorial nomination in Oregon, is
understood to have had the active sup
port of the Kan.

Liebermann to
Decorate a Play

Berlin Is. A.)-A significant trib
ute was paid to Max Liebermann,
dean of Germany's artists, when Di-
rector Heinz Saltenburg of the Les
sing theatcr engaged him to point the
decorations for new play by Juck-
mayr, which will open the winter sea-
son.
Although leading dramatic critics
doubt that the play will enjoy box
Office popularity, they agree that Sal
tenburg can always get back the
money he invested in the production.
And all because of Liebermann's high
ranking as an artist.
After the play has been taken off
the boards, Saltenburg plans to put
the various scenes into attractive
frames and offer them at an art auc-
ton, and thus realize many times
their cost.

NOT THIS YEAR

The national tennis championship is
in full swing. By the time this will
be printed, Tilden will have won the
title for the seventh successive time.
There will not have been any Jewish
achievement to record. The outstand-
ing Jewish player in the famous tour
nament is Ed Jacobs, the junior play
er from Baltimore. We expect him to
fight his way past the first few
rounds, and perhaps surprise the ten
mis- world by defeating a few ranking
senior players. He can hardly be ex-
pected to cut any real figure in the
meet, however.

KLEIN'S BIGGEST YEAR

"Shon" Klein of Ohio State Uni
versity, the sterling center whose
playing was one of the sensations Of
the Western Conference last year, will
again be in action for DR.. Wilce. 1t
is expected that Klein will even sur
pass his fine record of last year. Dur
ing the summer. Klein put on little
weight which will add to his prowess.
1t is also worth mentioning that Klein,
besides being a crack center, is also
a first-class student. He will un-
doubtedly receive the commendation
of eastern writer's when the Ohio
team meets Columbia in the first big
intersectional game of the season.

JOE SETRON HAS FRESHMEN IN
HAND AT w. VA. UNIVERSITY

Joe Setron, who was several times
mentioned for All-American team
when he was the star linesman of the
University of West Virginia eleven,
is now coaching the freshmen squad
at that school. Setron was one of
the best tackles we ever saw in ac-
ton. With powerful physique Che
weighed 210) he was formidable foe
who not only possessed extraordinary
stamina, but who also was one of the
fastest big fellows this writer ever
observed. 1t is our prediction that
Setron, who is only twenty-five now,
will be one of the outstanding line
coaches within the next few years.
Joe is very popular at West Virginia
U, but he still finds time for things Of
Jewish interest. He is very active in
the Menorah Society.

SUZANNE LENGLEN NOT
JEWESS
BY GEORGE JOEL q. T. AJ

For some time we have noticed va
rious articles in the Jewish papers
which proclaimed Mile. Lenglen as
Jewish. 1t is difficult to understand
just how this piece of misinformation
became so widespread.
A number of years ago when Mile.
Lenglen came to play Mrs. Mallory
at Forest Hills. we remember an in.
terview she had with representative
of the Jewish Daily Bulletin. The
question Of her nationality came up
and We heard her deny that she was
Jewess. At that time we thought
no more about the matter, but since
We have been conducting this column
many people have asked US why we
neglected to consider Lenglen when
we were writing about Jewish ath-
letics and when We replied that she
was not Jewish we were met with in
stant denials. After host of people
told us we were wrong we became a
little uncertain and we sent n cable
to the Paris Office of the Jewish Tel
egrsphic Agency. They Immediately
interviewed Mile. Lcnglen and sent us
p cable which states, "LENGLEN
NOT JEWESS.'
1t is well to follow the policy Of
caution in proclaiming athletes as
members of our race. We feel that
the Jews have plenty of we'll known
athletic starts and they do not need
any non-Jew to increase the quota.

Seligson and told us that young
Seligson, the tennis star, is going to

after turning down scholarship for

noted for its tennis team and it is
hard to see what Seligson can gain in
the way of tennis by choosing col

About 35 persons in DOUGLAS lost
their opportunity to vote Tuesday by
being registered for the city election
and not for the county. according
to an announcement Tuesday night
by H. L. Hutchison, county recorder.
Hutchison states that this mistake is
made every election. Registration for
the city election is always distinct
from that for the county, state and
national elections.
Aside from these registration over
sights, there were very few errors
in the registration and voting. A few
cases of registered voters being as
signed to the wrong precincts were
reported, but these were quickly adj
justed by the officers in charge.
Those who failed to vote in the prl-
maries through being registered for

tered at all will have an opportunity
to vote in the fall elections by regis
tering when registration again opens
