Speaking
 of Sports
*Sv%esVSVsV$SxSSVyv5

disagreement in sports is what ''a''y siVes spectacles such as the amateur bouts at the Tabs hall las, nlsh', plenty of spice. Take. for instance. the bout between Johnny Nlnch and Jack Renaull last night. ne majority of the fans present agreed with the decision giving lunch inc bout but some were dc- c'dsdly of inc opinion that the Bos- ten boy had won.
 To anyone keeping score in the bout by points and under the rules. there could be no decision but the one giving Clinch the bout Al the end of the second round, there was no distinction between the two fighters and Clinch was certainly Inc superior in that stanza.
 Renault has won inc first boot b,,, 'hnch evencd up matters hv taking ne second. In the third the local hoy hit Renault more than two to one and he had the Boston fighter s,ck at the end. The Boston team managers opinion ought to be worth something in this matter. He stated alter the fight 'Renauit and Clinch were absolutely even when the third round began, but Clinch's hard lefts 70 the body and his superior might Ing had my boy wishing he was back in Boston before that third round was over. IL was a fair decision and great fight"
 Joe Towards exhibition had the crowd puzzled after the first round starting off, he had Record on the way to knockout when he sent the Best on battler down for inc count of nine. Then Howard sud- denly switched and used nothing but lis left hand.
 Those at the rinS.SiJc felt that something was wrong and after the light an examination showed that Howard had injured his famous right when he knocked down Record in the opening round and hn was un- able to use it after that. His game ness in going through with the fight certainly should be admired.
 lt 1s very evident that some Of the ians attending the tournaments do not understand the rules ot ho A. A |. regarding a foVr round bout In the first bout between Camp and Taylor of Bristol, a disagreement made it a draw at tho end of the third session. In the fourth, Camp knocked Taylor down for count of nine which gave him decided edge. | When bout goes four rounds, only ! the fourth counts The fighter that , has the best oi it in the last round | wins despite what happened in the first three
 The tournament last night was on . par with the best that have been ! staged in this city and inc plans of | the Moha Wk 4. C. officials to bring . the Philadelphia and Canadian teams !

BETHLEHEM, Judea, Dec. "a N0--
The anniversary of the birth OF
Jesus Christ was celebrated here to-
night by devout Christians from all
over the world on the very spot OF
the nativity.
For weeks the followers of Jesus
have been converging on this little

HUNT FOR WOMAN

y LOS ANGELES, Dec. "a H9-Search
for a woman in connection with the
kidnapping and murder of Marian
Parker was intensified here today
when fingerprints made by woman
were discovered in the Bellevue arms
apartment occupied by William E.

The prints, heretofore unrevealed
in the microscopic search of the
apartment in which police believe the
little daughter of Perry M. Parker,
bank official, was held prisoner and
later slain, were found on a milk
bottle and on a dinner plate.
Lieutenant H. L. Barlow, police

vinced that the prints were not made
by Marian Parker and that they had
not been left by any woman thus
far mentioned in the case. The police
identification bureau Immediately

FEAR ANOTHER

TO SEA LIST
Mrs. Frances GraysOn Is
Hours Overdue In First
Leg of Trip.
RAIN OR SNOW

Bay Of Fundy May
Have Proved Fatal.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a Up - Mrs.
Francis Wilson Grayson, who had hop
ed to spend this Christmas eve in Har-
Dor Grace, N. F., preparatory to at
tempting the first winter flight across
the Atlantic, was hours overdue to-
night and hope for her and her three
men companions was waning fast.
The men who started with her for
Newfoundland in her amphibian Six
Crsky; Dawn were Oskar Olndal, who
flew over the north pole with Amund-
sen, her pilot; Eric Goldsborough her
radio operator and navigator, and Fred
Koehler, an engine expert who had
expected to leave the expedition be-
fore it left Newfoundland on the main
lap on the projected flight to England
At 5:07 o'clock yesterday afternoon
those four took off from Roosevelt
field for Harbor Grace. They had
gasoline enough for 20 hours, or until
| o'clock this afternoon, and they ex-
pected to make the flight in IA hours.
The Dawn was seen some two and a
half hours after leaving Roosevelt
field, flying over Cape Cod, up above
the waters that so recently swallowed
the crippled submarine S-4 and its 40
men,
After that-nothing.
From Cape Cod to the coast of Nova
Scotia is $50 miles over an ocean toss
ing from recent storms. 1t was freez-
ing weather and, the weather bureau
believes, there may have been some
rain or snow this combination is one
that every airman breads, for the for
nation of ice on wings destroys their
lifting power.
The hours of the night passed and
then the day and still the Dawn fail
ed to arrive in Newfoundland. Not
once did her radio speak, though oper-
ators all along the coast and out at
sea were listening for wc~l
AS o'clock, the dreaded "deadline,'
came and went, but one slender hope
remained that the Dawn might be
still aloft. There are two engines in
the amphibian, and the 2O-hour per-
iod was figured on the basis of both
being i'll operation. But either engine
can fly the plane alone, and if by
chance one engine went out of com
mission dcring the flight the potential
period in the air would be materially
heightened. 1t would not be doubled,

which so transformed the world.
At the spot of the nativity is a
small altar, and, beneath it on the
pavement is large silver star mark
ing the exact spot of the manger
in which Christ was born. Sixteen
silver lamps that are never eXtin-
guished glow over the silver star.
The former stable is now a tiny
chamber, a natural grotto cut in the
rock. Last night it was densely
packed.
The special Christmas gospel was
sung after which the patriarchs and
bishops fell on their hands and knees
to kiss the silver altar with it's Latin
inscription: "Hic de Virgine Maria
Jesus ChriStuS NatuS est"
The patriarch moved slowly on,
flanked by the governor of Jerusalem
and foreign consuls, including Oscar
S. Heizer of Iowa, American consul,
blessing the congregation, many OF
whom tried to kiss the hem of his
vestmentS as he passed by.
During all this time the subdued
excitement was stimulated by huge
candelabra hanging ablaze with lights,
which were swung from side to side
Joined in singing the great hymn OF
the angeles: "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace toward
men of good will" before filing slowly
out into the still darkened streets.

Protestant church connected with the
site of the nativity.
The entrance is a door only four
feet high, built purposely low enoi!gn
to keep out the cattle which Moham-
medan governors in the past had no
qualms about driving into the most
sacred OF all Christian churches.
Although the pilgrims stopped to
enter they found themselves at once
in spacious BasiIica, where on
Christmas day, HOO, the Crusader
Baldwin was crowned king Of Jeru-
salem.
The long wide nave was soon
crammed from end to end with a
noisy, struggling, pushing crowd
whose ideal Of behavior at the Joyous
festival was not one OF silent solemn
ity.
About midnight the various pat
riarchs, bishops and clery and privil-
eyed visitors, each bearing an eror-
nous lighted candle, worked their way
cautiously down the steep, narrow,
slippery steps leading under the
sanctuary of the church to the grotto
of the Nativity.
There they knelt in homage before
one OF the most revered spots in the
world, the spot where Jesus Christ
is believed to have been born, the
spot where the bewildered shepherds
knelt to worship, the spot where pill
grirns of many centuries have come
TO worship and mediate on the birth

Goats or Capes for Dinner Time
BY MARY MARSHALL.

ing enough that in this country, where
Summer heat usually prevails in our
hotels, theaterS, apartments and up-to'
date country houses-~women here are
so much less strict about this matter
of dressing for dinner" Even with
out a fuel shortage Paris knows no
such well heated interiors as our own,
vet fashionable women there are VIII
ing enough TO don evening clothes In
the evening. 1t ia not SO much with
them solemn sort of social rite as an
opportunity TO wear charming evening
frockS.
Sometimes we wonder how these
European women survive the long
evenings in draughty--as we think
underheated rooms. We admire their
pluck as much as we wonder at their
fooliShness. But after all they are not
so foolish, nor need they be quite so
pluclly as we think. AS a matter of
Winter custom many of these women
wear warm fiannels next their skin
True these fiannels have had to be
decidedly curtailed to meet existing
fashions, but there is enough left to
provide a wholesome bit of warmth.
There are all sorts of shawls and
wraps that may be worn indoors over
the light evening frock without ac-
tually taking from its light ana airy
appearance, and some Americans, in
spite of warm houses, have adopted
some one or another of these slight
garments. Dressmakers here, like
those abroad, are making coats or
capes of chiffon or georgette to wear
at dinner time over light frocks. Many
women feel that a drapery of this sort
adds much to the becomingness of the
rather hard outlines of the heavily
beaded or spangled frock, the bright
glitter of which is perhaps little
more attractive now than it seemed to
be earlier in the season. Sometimes
these little wraps are made of the
same color and material as the frock.
though sometimes decidedly good ef-
fetb may be gained by using chiffon or
georgette of darker hue. Thus a
heavily spangled frock of cyclamen
shade is worn with a filmy coat OF
wine-colored georgette.
Shawls of many sorts are still worn
to provide this bit of extra warmth
sometimes needed in the evening, and
some of the dressmakers are making
slightly shaped capes or coats from
shawls, which have the graceful drap-
cry of the shawl and are at the same
time quite easy to keep in place.
