Finals of the local boxing lin

night at Turner's Arena before a
turnout of about 1000 customers,
when Tony Dupre, Manchester,
N. H. featherweight blasted out an
eight round verdict over Baby
Manuel of Florida. BY scoring his
victory over the southern port.
slider, Dupre earned his right to
meet Lou GevinSon, District pride,
in battle scheduled here IN two
weeks.
In the semi-windup, billed as a
co-feature to the main argument,
George Abrams, former Herald
Golden Gloves middleweight cham
pion, added to his legion of boost
ers by humping out Johnny Bar
RE after 2 minutes and so Sec
onds of the fourth round.
WINS 7 ROUNDS
According to The Washington
Times score sheet, Dupre pulled
through on points in seven of the
eight rounds. There were, how
ever, no knockdowns, although
several times during the melee
Manuel was staggered by some
tough right-hand blows.
Manuel forced the fight through
the eight-round session, but Tony
had too much "oompah" in both
mittS for the Spanish lad to han
die.
By his stirring performance in
his bout with Barrie last night,
Abrams successfully graduated
from the preliminary class.
Abrams floored Barrie, a rangy kid
with a windmill style, in every
round.
MAMAKOS WINS
In the preliminary battles,
Steve Mamakos, another Herald
Golden Glover, knocked out the
veteran George CLANCY, of Balti-
more, after one minute of Slugging
in the third round. CLANCY held
up his end we'll for two rounds,
but failed to keep going after that.

also turned in kayo triumph, by
flattening Joe De Carlo of Balti-
more by way of the technical
route when Referee Denny
Hughes, stopped the one-sided per-
formance in the fifth round.
Just to give the tip off as to
what was on the boards for the
remainder of the card, Maynard
Daniels, local amateur scored a
three-round knockout of Joe Sofia,
of Philadelphia, in the opening
four rounder. Sofia was down
three times before he went out.

HAVE SPIRIT
BY HARRY COSTELLO

WaShington'S football Redskins
possess esprit de corps to an un-
common degree and because Of
that possession will win over New
York'S gridiron Giants when the
two teams clash in Sundays all
important National Football League
game, in the Polo Grounds, New
York.
There you have the consensus
Of opinion among SO people-40
men and 10 women-interviewed
at random yesterday.
Esprit de corps, we are told, is
a spirit of common devotedness,
sympathy or support among mem
bers Of an association or body.
That the Redskins have esprit
de corps none will deny who Sun
day saw the Washington team win
over Green Bays mighty Packers
in Griffith Stadium, IA to 6.
For some time now, this old OBJ
server of football, both collegiate
and professional, has suggested the
game is about 10 per cent spiritual,
and that the team possessed of the
fiercer pride, all other things being
Eear the equal, will win.
DEVELOP PRIDE
It has been his premise that
veteran gridders, such as those
who carry Washington's colors in
the National Football League, de-
velop a gridiron pride even fiercer
that than of your collegiate player,
for the reason that with the vet
eran it is pride in personal Prov
ess which furnishes the urge.
That "a out Of so agree with him
was indicated yesterday in a poll
conducted by him in downtown
washington.
just q few opinions cleaned
while polling:
1. "These Redskins have the
old spirit. It shows when they
play. You can see it in that
game against the Packers.
You'll see it again in the game
against New York"
2. II rather suspected that
envieS and jealousieS existed
among Washington players, and
among players of other teams,
too. However, my suspicious
proved unfounded and I am sat-
isfied on that score following
the game against Green Bay.
It's a wonderful thing, this
matter Of the spirit as expressed
by the Washington team. I saw
little physical difference be-
tween Washington and Green
Bay. Indeed, at times I felt that
Green Bays team was superior
to Washington's. I am convinced
that our Redskins are a team
with a heart and a soul. I am
convinced, too, the Redskins
will win over the Giants for the
same reason they won over the
Packers-Spirit.

ancc the church membership grew
steadily. He was pastor there
when the present cdifcc was built.
Several years ago he resigned
from this church and was semi
retired minister until his appo mt
mcnt rs pastor Of the Asheville
circuit. In this capacity he served
as pastor of Elk Mountain. Emma
and Riverside Methodist churches.
Dr. Chandler, who belonged to
the Kentucky conference Of The
Methodist church, was called back
10 KentuckV several years ago but
his Ashcvillc friends appealed to
the bishop Of the Kentucky dis
trict to allow lin to remain here.
Their request was supported by
petition hearing the names of
many leaders of all church de-
nominations here. The bishop
granted the request and allowed
Dr.. Chandler to remain in Ashe-
vile.
Dr.. Chandler probably officiated
mt more weddings, christenings
and funerals than any minister
now in the Asheville district. He
was in great demand as a COM
mencemcnt speaker and each year
took part in the finals of several
city and county schools. Because
Of his broad outlook on life, he
also was sought as speaker for
civic club meetings and club gath
erings. For time, he preached
at Asheville Normal and Teachers
college.
When DR.. r. F. Campbell, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian
church. was in hospital last win
ter, DR.. Chandler filled his pulpit.
He also served as acting pastor of
the First Baptist church after the
Rev. William r. Owen became i'll
and until the Rev. f. Gibson Da-
Wis, present pastor, was called
here.
Church denominations were
never considered by DR.. Chandler
in serving Christ. He has preached
in more churches of this section
than any other man.
Surviving DR.. Chandler are his
widow, Mrs. Sarah Dickey Chan
der; one daughter. Mrs. r. H..

brother, F. s. Chandler. of Madi-
