BR0K EN- HAND
CAUSES GAINES
TO QUIT FIGHT
BY JIMMIE GREENE

Homer Gaines was in the midst
of splendid boxing lesson at the
local Arena last night when Dam
Nature stepped in to stop the fight,
Homer having sustained broken
bone in his right hand as a resul;
of whacking Mr.. Jack Spencer on
some particularly hard part Of his
anatomy.
AS main event it was not so
good. Hemcr can hold his own with
the boys who have not been in the
game any longer than he has, and
perhaps can lick the greater part
of them, but when it comes to an
old hand like spencer il is asking
Just a little too much Of a compare
tive novice.
Spencer played with Homer for
six rounds The little colorcd lad
hurt his hand in the fifth and had
to pull up for few seconds, but
continued to do his best i'll what
was hopeless job. Between the
fifth and sixth rounds he did con-
siderable squirming in his corner,
for busted hand is not the plea
santcst thing in the world.
He lasted midway into the sixth
round when he had to quit. Some of
the fans, but very few Of them, trof-
ted out the we'll known cry Of
"vellow, something no real sport
ever cries. That is one thing that
Gaines cannot be charged with up
TO date. He was hopclcsslY out
elasscrt but was willing to keep on.
Physicians who examined the
hand aftcr the fight was stopped,
ordered Gaines to the hospital whore
an N-rav could bc taken. We just
wonder how the fans who yelled
''vcilow' can square Themselves
against the decision of two doctors.
The main event can be summed
up by saving Spencer is too expert
enccd and too tough for a boy like
Homer. .G
Brooks Comes Back
The scmi-final produced mighty
good scrap. The "Deacon' has had
a real fight i'm his system for many
months, and he got rid of it laN
night. As result of it Joe Ruiz
was on the short end of the decision
and strange to say Bill Tackctt re
ceivcd only minimum of boos-
(not boozc.)
Ruiz put up good fight, but
Brooks was too much for him.
Andy had everything last night,

 NEW COMMANDER
Doors Art Thrown Open for
 the First Time

Denver, Sept. 20 R1With doors thrown open to the public for the first time since organization dele gates to the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic today turned attention to adoption of resolutions and selection of . new commander.
 The council of administration consisting of one veteran from each of the 43 state departments. planned today to consider the bids of several cities for the 1929 encampment. in- cluding Long Beach, Cal. Sacramen- to. Portland, Maine. and Indianap- olis.
 Four past commanders of state departments aspire to occupy the post now held by National Com mander Elbridse Lafayette Hawk of Sacramento. They are James E. Jewell, Fort Morgan. Colo; John Reese. Broken Bow. Neb.; Samuel P. Town. Philadelphia. and R. H. Mo Whorter. Coffeyville, Kansas. All are expected to be placed in nomi- nation today. and the rules will be suspended to permit of election of the new. commander at once.
 Yesterdays annual parade in re- view before Commander Hawk was in sharp contrast to the parade held here in 1905 when 12,5O0 veterans formed line more than seven miles long.
 Scarcely 1000 enfeebled veterans fell in for the march yesterday and the parade was less than mile long.
 Despite the advanced age of the marching veterans. lines of march were evenly formed and the old sol diers stepped smartly to the music of . drum and five corps. Only three were forced to drop out and accept places in automobiles which followed.

WANTS RIGHT. 10. |. FIGHT WITH EVIL
Bishop Lsoa,ld e1 \. E calrd GiY& AdIiCe

Utica. N. Y.. Sept. 20 W-Bishop Adna Wright Leonard of the Buf- falo area of the Methodist Episco- pal church today urged members of the area council In session here to. hold to what he termed the central issue" of the presidential campaign and .'see to 1t that the forces of righteousness are once again proven to be mightter than the forces of evil"
 The question before ui," Bishop Leonard said, 'is not that of per- sonal liberty or religious bisotry. It is q clear cut issue. Is the ground to be lost that has already been won for prohibition? Are We to elect to the presidency of the United States one whose personal and pub lie life has been on tho side of the vets, or are we to elect ono whose personal and public life has been unqualifedly committed to the en- forcement of the 18th amendiaent and the Volstead act?
 There h . United States outside of greater New York and 1t is my firm conviction that when the bal lots are counted it will once more be revealed that the American peo- pie are sound at heart and that our democracy is no experiment"
 The bishop promised that ap- pointments of ministers to two con- ferences to be held in the area be- fore election would be made in such . way as to give each pastor and his family who are entitled to vote the right to exercise that high duty" ...
 "On election day" he said, "every pastor should do his utmost in his local community to make it possible for those who are qualified to vote to have the opportunity os casting their ballts."
