As for Moscow, too much has been
written about OVERLOOKING churches

seen IN the city's places Of worship

at all of these services were above 80
years OF age. In a small chapel or
ULTRA Gertzina 80 or so persons had
gathered for worship and not one Of
them appeared to be less than 80 years
old. More than 20 Of the group were
elderly or niddle-aged women.
The service in the Cathedral of The
Redeemer. it turned out, was one Of
the last before the structure was closed
preparatory to demolition. Though the
communicates numbered perhaps 800

they seemed but handful in the yasi

fore the revolution this interior was
crowded each Sunday morning, for
among other attractions, the services

NEW YORK, Jan. Z. - Jack
Sharkey, the unluckiest and at the
same time the luckiest fighter in the
business, may emerge from the
tangled heavyweight situation as
champion of the world. That is, the
portion of the world ruled by the
New York boxing commission.
When the commissioners took it
upon themselves Tuesday to Sus-
pend Max Schmeling and strip him
of his royal robes, they paved the
way for Sharkey's ascension to the
throne. And to make it all the more
he might get the cham
pionship without so much as strik-
ing a blow.
Sooner or later the commissioners
will lock the doors and name sue
cessor to Schmeling. Naturally they
won't name the German to succeed
himself. Stribling isn't likely to be
