time will recover its composure,
and. in some heroic way shake OH
its grief.
While the passing of Tilden from
amateur tennis is in itself not en-
tirely unimportant since he was the
greatest singles player OF his gen
Grafton, the circumstances touching
on and appertaining to the event
transcend the individual.
AS you know Tilden is one Of
the pOpulous fraternity known as
player- writers. Which is to say
that when he lays aside his rae
07et after a match he takes his
pen in hand. One of the differ
ences between Tilden and many
Of his frat brothers is he actually
writes his own stuff.
n 4 y
BECAUSE Tilden violated a Ger
ID tain clause of the official ten
mis- rules governing the commercial
lives of players he was deposed as
captain of the Davis cup team.
Whether he will later be declared
a professional does not matter. He
is as good or as bad as profess
sional now.
Tilden was convicted on a charge
of contributing epic passages to the
journalistic world, these passages
having to do with tournament
in which he was currently active.
For this intense interest in improv-
ing literature he received money.
Tilden's case, so far as this
column is concerned, simply serves
to emphasize a complex situation
in amateur athletics that has grown
steadily more complex because of
the lack of decision, evasive tactics
and generally coddling manner in
which the authorities persist in
handling it.
Perhaps out of the present
hubbub will come a demand if
not desire, for frank showdown
followed by the creation of an
honest, sham-proof amateur rul-
ing which will be devoid of all
subterfuge, equivOcation and sup
pressed deceptions.
DOSSIBLY Mr. Merrick or some
i one of his illustrious ilk will
even go so far as to say that any
body in tennis who takes money in
any way is a professional. The
simplicity and directness of such
an attitude would have to be ad-
mitted even though the virtues of
common sense and consideration
were lacking. Personally I think
this would be an improvement
over the present arrangement which
appears to place premium on a
mans agility in taking low and
high technicalities in full stride.
Tilden has always been some
thing of a law unto himself, a
gentleman of vast ego and no
little independence of spirit, and
it may be true that not everybody
is Sobbing because he tripped in
elegantly over the red tape of a
rule which he helped to weave with
his own meticulously manicured
talons.
This happens to be something
else. I find greater interest not to
say aStonishment in the thin feeble
line Of demarcation which in his
case was wide and formidable
enough to separate He'll from Par
adise.
4 y.
If he wrote about the touria-
ment in which he was playing he
professiOnaIized himself, accord
ing to the rules. If he wrote about
anything else he didn't. The
money he was paid-and paid
mainly because of his distinction
as a tennis player-did not mat
ter. And if the money was not
the main point what was?

over the weekend interfered with
the examination of all selections re-

The concensus of opinion of the

Tex Predicts
Big Gate for
Title Fight
But Experts Smile at
Richards Claim of
$1,2OO,O0O Battle.
BY HARRY FERGUSON
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 23.-For the
sixth time in seven years the great
American public is, about to pay
more than a million dollars to see
a prize fight.
With 100000 already in. Tex
Rickard, who brings Gene Tunney
face ITO face with Tom Heeney at
the Yankee Stadium Thursday
night, is predicting a 81 100000 gate.
Deep down in his heart Rickard
fears it may be the last one.
Rickard is learning he can't fool
all the people all the time-at least
not without the help of Jack
Dempsey. 1t was Dempsey who
started the 81 O,OOO-gate racket,
for back in 1921 total of 81 ,626, $50
was paid at Jersey City to watch
the Manassa Mauier maui Georges
Carpenter.
That gave Rickard the idea that
maybe the sky was the limit. This
is what he did thereafter.

1t will be noted Dempsey was in
volved every time. Historians al
ready are writing him down as the
greatest drawing card of the ring.
Many persons wise in the ways Of
pugilism believe Richards estimate
of a s1,2O0,OO0 gate is too high The
ticket sale is going to pick up fro~
now on, for the ballyhoo is in full
swing after a painfully slow start.
But, experts point out, 100000 is a
lot of money to pick up in the four
days left before the bout.
Tunney will get $525,OO0; Heeney,
100000: another 100000 probably
will be spent in changing the
Yankee stadium from a baseball
park into a boxing arena; Incl
dentals will eat up about $4,000.

CHURCH SINGERS
 STOP SERVICES
Refuse to LA Pastor Prolch
 His Serlnon

Darwen. Eng. Feb. 20 (UP)-The Anglo Catholic dispute. within the church of England. today was blamed for the threatened violence to Vicar E. B. Lauria after tho con- gregation at St. Cuthbertis church for hours had sung hymns to pre- vent his sermon.
 Both the morning and evening services at the church were stopped and after the morning service yes- terday a crowd of approximately 1000 persons gathered and pushed and showed the vicar about. Two persons were injured before the crowd could be dispersed and the vicar escorted to safety.
 The protests against the alleged Anglo Catholic services started shortly after morning services start ed. The congregation objected to the Eucharist (sung at the communion) and when the vicar entered the pull pit to deliver his sermon the con- gregation started to sing hymna.
 The vicar made several attempts to begin his sermon but the crowd of 1,0O0-all standing-continued their singing. emphasizing particu- larly Onward Christian Soldiers" and God Save the King" After two hours of such disorder the Vicar finally quit the pulpit and left the church.
 Outside a crowd estimated at be- tween 1000 and 5000 gathered and started pushing and showing the vicar. He finally was showed into the shrubbery surrounding the church and both foot and mounted police were necessary to escort the vicar to safety and disperse the crowd. Several ugly scenes were reported before the crowd had been dispersed. The night service was to have been in charge of Curate N. Craw- shaw. He arose to preach and the crowd again stood and started sing ing. This lasted for seventy minutes and the curate was unable to start preaching. Finally Vicar Lauria closed the service and in company with Curate Crawshaw was escorted home by police. A crowd followed them, jeering and hissing.
 The demonstrations were said to

FIND TOOTH. WAS
 FROM WILD PIG
nglgt opcs to Have Ben
 lFon Iin's Pofaunnd

New York. Feb. 20 N-The much-patched million dollar tooth" once hailed by the American mu- scum of natural history as proof that . forerunner of man lived in Nebraska, has nov been identified by the same organization as the mo- lar Of an extinct species of wild pig.
 Retracttoa Made
 The retraction has been made by Professor William K. Gregory of the museum following discovery of sev- eral similar teeth In the same To- cality in association with the re- mains of prosthennope or extinct pecarry.
 The tooth was found in a riverbed in the western state in 1922 by Har- old J. Cook, . Nebraska geologist. Subjected to every test known the February. 1925, bulletin of the mu- scum said: Every suggestion made by scientific sceptics was weighed and found wanting"
 The tooth. which often was thrown up to William Jennings Bry- an in the course of the evolution controversy because 1t came from his home state, got its name ''mil- lion dollar tooth" from an incident in the laboratory where 1t was be- ing X-rayed.
 As Professor Gregory handed it to an assistant who was to make the pictures he said:
 Now be mighty careful that tooth is worth a million dollars"
 The assistant. Mustered, dropped the tooth to the tiled floor. It broke into many pieces. but these were picked up and cemented together and the X-raying and the controver- sy went on.
 The tooth was known as the He's peropitheous Haroldcookii, the lat ter name in honor of the geologist who found it. The molar closely re- sembled that of a known tooth of Pithecanthropus. the Java ape man.
 Scores of learned and popular magazine articles were written about it, sermons were preached against the tooth and it was an ar- senal Of ammunition for the evolu- tionists in their war with the funda- mentalists of the churches. Dr. John Roach Straton and Billy Sunday were among those who scoffed at the million dollar molar.
 Reciting the various steps taken by himself and others in studies of the tooth, Professor Gregory related the finding of the peccary teeth last summer and said:
 Thus 1t seems to me far more probable that we were formerly de- ceived by the resemblance of the much-worn type to equally worn chimpanzee molars than that the type is really a unique token of the presence of anthropoids in North America"

1877. and later became secretary to the latter's nephew. H. c. Potter.
 His first pastorate was 1t Canaan. where he remained for four years. From Canaan he went to North Adams. Mas&. where hs was in charge of St Johns church for eight years. Later he went to Grace Cathedral. Topeka, Kansas, being dean of that church for two years. In 1888 he was private chaplain to Bishop Henry B. Paddock of Massa- chusetts. in attendance at the Lam- beth conference in England.
 In 1899 he came to New Britain and began his first service as rector of St. Marks on August of that year. In February. 1921. almost P years later, he retired to become rec- tor emeritus. He was correspond ing secretary of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry and in that position he had many students in his care.
 Retained Interest in Church
 Even to the last he was active in church affairs and often took a prominent part in conducting the services. He was a keen golfer and was often seen on the grounds of the Shuttle Meadow club. At his retirement from the rectorship of the church. his assistant. Rev. Sam uel Sutcliffe, was made rector and is still officiating in that capacity.
 During MT. Bodley's pastorate. St. Marks church was located on the site of the present Burritt Hotel but there was an ever-growing move- ment for it's removal. It was MT. Bodley who chose the present site adjoining the library on West Main street, his choice being actuated by the fact that the church. if erected there, would be on hill at a turn in the road where it would stand cut prominently, and would be sur rounded by other fine buildings.
 Last year marked the golden wed- ding anniversary of Rev. Mr. Bod ley and Mrs. Bodley. Tn 1877, he married Mary Anna Gillespie. the wedding being performed in the Little Church Around the Corner" Besides his widow he is survived by two sons, Dr. George H. Bodley of this city and Charles G. Bodley of Melrose. Mass; two daughters, Mrs. George H. Pound of New Brunswick. N. J. and Mrs. B. H. Olmstead of Roscoe. N. Y.. a sister, Mrs. Rufus Davenport of St. Paul, Minn.: and several grandchildren.
 He kept a record of every service which he conducted with the sub ject of the sermon he preached. This record, embracing four volumes. shows that he led several services at the Jefferson Market prison in New York City.
 Rev. Mr. Bodley has not only con- fined himself to the ministry but in his younger days did other work. As early as at the age of IS he was appointed to supervise a group of men in the construction of a gas house in St Louis. At another time he helped to reshingle the roof of 0 brewery in the west which had burned down. For a time he was associated with a wholesale house and learned a great deal about bank ing. He said much of his early ex- perience had helped him in later life.
 Rev. Mir. Bodley held broad views on religious subjects. He and the late Rev. John T. Winters. pastor of St. Mary's church, were warm friends and Mir. Bodley frequently attended anniversary exercises of the Y. M. T. A. & B. society as the guest of Father Winters.
