To that end, Lawlor planned to confer with Commissioner Thomas E. Donahue to-day with a view to- ward investigating rumors and com- plaints that have come to him re- garding the rather sudden ending of the bout when Eddie Lord was cred ited with a knockout over Me- Grath in the third round. Under ordinary circumstances, the deputy commissioners would be inclined to disregard the complaints that came to him, which is usually the case, when a favored fighter is suddenly disposed of, but the reports of a betting cleanup that is opposed to have been made has spurred Lawlor to instant action. Discussing the matter last night, Senator Lawlor said: II have heard some nasty re- ports about betting in regard to Pat sy McGrath's bout with Eddie Lord last Thursday. If I can find any evidence of truth to the reports con- meeting McGrath with the alleged cleanup. Patsy will never box in Connecticut again or anywhere else If I can help it."

NICELY WORKED OUT

There is also the story going the rounds that McGrath and two of his new found friends rehearsed the matter a day or two before the bout, at which time McGrath was supposed to have been told to get some of his own money up to protect the ''pooH that was being made up. Then there is McGrath's visits to west end, east end, and north end sporting centers a few days before the bout in which he is alleged to have steamed up'' his friends to bet on him. All in all, the thing looks pret- ty raw around the edges, but there is this to be said: if Patsy McGrath did take nose dive. and evidence is getting stronger every day that he did the dramatic stage has lost a great actor.

Let my soul live, and it shall
praise thee; and let thy judgments

Among the citations which COM

following from the Bible: Bring
my soul out of prison; that I may
praise thy name: the righteous
shall compass me about; for thou
shalt deal bountifuly with me-"

matter. belief strays into a sense
Of temporary loss or absence of
soul, spiritual truth. This state
of error is the mortal dream of
life and substance is existent in
matter, and is directly opposite to
the immortal reality of being So

sin or that immortal Soul is in
mortal body, we can never under
stand the Science of being. page
