Although actual plans were held
in allegiance until the last minute.
this committee made it clear that
speech making would have no part.
The concern over the health OF Mrs.
Lemira Goodhuc. mother of Mrs.
Coolidge, was another factor in
fluencing the decision to have a
simple celebration.
1t happens that one OF the chief
centers of interest these days is
Coolidge's old law offices. Mr.. Hem
enway has had the place entirely
rcdecorated, refurnished and gen.
orally fixed up"
Mr.. Hemenway has denied that
the sudden rcfinishing and trans
formation have anything to do
with the return Of his former part
ner. But people point to the fact
that Coolidge's desk still stands In
the old office and many Of his per-
sonal belongings still are there un-
disturbed. And it is pointed out
that the name Of Coolidge still Is
on the office door.
A feeling persists that II the. Of
flee Is not to be used by Coolidge
as a permanent quarters 1t may be-
come at least a temporary head
Quarters for transaction OF such
business as he may have.
At the Coolidge apartment in the
two-family house on Massasoit
street things have changed little
since the days when Coolidge made
his home there. But the neighbors
have changed as they do in even
the most stable OF New England
communities.

Father aetus Asks Serious

Father Clctus of the Passionist
Order OF West Springfield. in the
second OF his series Of Lenten SER
mons at st. Marys' church last night
stated that young people today think
more of their trousseau and theil
bankroll than they do OF God In
contemplating marriage. The church
was filled as the orator asked fol-
more consideration of the spiritual
factor in marriage than the mate.
rial. 1.-THE Holiness Of Marriage"
was the subject OF the sermon and
in it he scored the man who con-
siders 1t of more importance to ar
range the details of trip to Europe
or tho purchase of car than to con-
slider the choice OF a wife and the
preparation for matrimony.
III more people in this nation
would put God into their wedding
agreements, then there would be
fewer matrimonial wrecks scattered
along the trail of life," he said.
Then matrimonial fidelity would no
longer be a source of gibes on the
stage and in the press"
1.-THE woman" he continued,
gives her love, her affections and
even her will. things more dear than
all the jewels on earth. She asks
only that the man remain faithful to
her as a protector and guardian and
over their contract God throws q
mantle OF protection. The sacred
ness of their union writes 1t In the
records of heaven"
Speaking OF new theories of mar
riage and OF the records OF the d.
vorce courts. Father Cletus added:
I'VE of the Catholic church are
dubbed old fashioned and strait
laced. 1t is not the Catholic church,
though. and not it's priests who are
responsible for the eternity Of mar
rage, it is the divine founder OF
Christianity Himself, for He has
given the law and the church merely
forces its observance to the very
end Of time"
Claiming that the church always
championed the cause Of the wom-
en-, Father Cletus continued:
Through the years, the church and
its popes have lifted you from 4
place such as that Of the Turkish
woman to a position as mistress In

there are quite q few on the

that.
eThe fact is, Goslin is In a
slump when he is hitting under $50
and should easily reach that mark
next season. / have seen many
worse fielders than Goslin, despite
the fact that he has fumbled few
this season. The accusation that
his slow start after fly balls makes
easy ones look hard Is easily
answered by walking out to eft
field in the afternoon and gazing
through the sun toward home plate.
1T is a wonder that Goslin misses
as few as he does. Rice of Detroit,
who lost a ground ball in the sun
a week ago last Sunday and let it
go for a home run, probably could
testify that the SUN Is bothersome.
Goslin is a young man, is faster
than the average, and has a great
throwing arm. He should have some
of his best years ahead of him and

TAKES
TOLL IN
RING
By payis ]. Walsh

NEW 4Ohh, aug. Ia
Time is faithless friend. A
year ago, they put on the last
heavy W eight championship
fight and, for one night at
least, the men who fought the
fight and those who sponsored
it were, all-important in the
eyes Of the world.
One OF them was the challenger,
Tom Heeney. He is fighting tonight
as a trial horse in dollar-ninety en-.
gagenaent over in Brooklyn. An.
other was Tex Richard, the greatest
promoter of his day or any other.
He IL dead. Two more of them were
Eillv Gibson and Charley Harvey, re-
Euectiye managers of the fighters.
Gibson is out of boxing altogether
and Harvey Is fighting for his life in
q BROOKLYN hospital as the result of
an automobile accident.
Bill McCabe, who was MIR. Tun.
ney's duenna, Is dead. MIR. Tun-
ney, BY his own wish, has passed
from this life almost as def.
nitely as though he had died.
OF all the principals In this $780,
900 enterprise, only Heeney, the
chastened challenger, remains active
with the passing of ~ months and.
personally, wouldn't give a nickel
for his kind Of activity.
He Is going in there tonight with
Vittorio Campolo, the Willard of the
Argentine, in fight that means
little today and may mean less to-
morrow. He is supposed to build up
VittoriO, the man-bullock, but
whether he builds him up or tears
him down is highly unimportant.
The point is that the man who
fought for a million dollar title a
year ago will take five or six thou
sand for his end tonight and be glad
of 1t.
Yes, the world moves on, leaving
the roadside to it's stragglers and a
tonlbstoner to IT'S dead. Mr.. Tunney,
happily, Isl neither of these. And,
by the way, it will be a relief to an
anxious n$tion to know that Gene
IS soon To resume being an Ameri-
can after having been abroad so
long thatla lot of people were be-
ginning TO worry because they
were afraid he mightn't stay much
longer. He won't.
Gene has forgiven boxing for
what &c did for him and late in
September will return to Amer
lea with the Bernard Gimbels.
He will wish 1t to be known that
he no longer is interested IN
