Human personality, which is the
most sacred thing on earth, heavens
highest bequest to men, cannot be pre-
served in the face of excessive drink

his moderate" drinking becomes ex-

sonality. Susan Coolidges familiar
lines carry this truth for the times:
"He serves his country best

A Grim Warning.
Why do people so generally laugh
at a drunkard's antics? Should we
not mourn instead? For the Bible says,
repeatedly and explicitly, that no
drunkard may inherit the kingdom
of heaven.
Three grim warnings from Pauls
writings constitute the days lesson
text. They fairly startle our modern
easy-going attitude toward moral Of
fenses. There are large blocks of So
ciety which in practice share Russia s
Official attitude toward morality.
Some day, in this world or the next,
they are going to have a terrible
awakening.
Our times-at least the noisiest
portion of our times-lives by and for
fieshly standards. Paul tabulates these
carnal sins which we're common in
his day; and are not uncommon now.
Against their impenitent perpetrators
he definitely shuts the door of heaven.
On the other hand. he gives us a
picture of other characters, the real
Christians, whose life is lived by
spiritual standards. His recapitula-
tion of the characteristics of such a
good life is one of the famous pas
sages of the Bible: But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy. peace, long
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance; against such
there is no law. And they that are
Christ's have crucified the flesh with
the affections and lusts."

that if men didn't drink it, nobody

lack of will power. due to drink.
What a source OF sorrow is this
habit, which has cursed the race
throughout the generations! Every
body knows the consequences OF strong
drink. social, economic, political and
personal. Its worst evil is the effect
upon the moral character of the user.
One of the most famous editors in
America told me that. although not
an abstainer, he found that even
single cocktail at luncheon impaired
his afternoon efficiency. Then he
went on TO portray the worthlessness
of the drinking sons and daughters
of "society"-and he himself belongs
to the exclusive society Of one OF our
great Eastern cities.

Without going into the multiform
evils which attend the use OF liquor
its dulling of the finer sensibili-
ties; its excitation of the lower pas
sions and its lessening of moral re-
sistance, its economic cost. its blurring
of the Judgment and impairment Of
the sense of responsibility-it should
be sufficient to remind the younger
generation that they are living IN
crisis time that taxes every resource
of mind and spirit and body.
Nobody knows what may befal the
world in the next 20 years. But every

men and women who are slaves to any

In attempting to select the win
ner 1t is well to consider, without
prejudice, the following:
BRADDOCK'S ADVANTAGES
Superb condition following
splendid training.
Experience. Terrific punch,
toughness and gameness.
A good left hand, which is the
most valuable asset q fighter can
have.
The will to w11, plus determine
ton spurred on by desire to pro-
vide education and comforts for
his three children.
Superior ring generalShip, craft
ness and SmaI mess.
The fact that he has never
been knocked out, the knockout
written in his record, which is q
long one against tough opponents,
being technical, the fight being
stopped because his eye was cut
and bleeding so badly he could
not continue.
BRADDOCK'S DISADVANTAGES
Age-he being 80, which is past
the age when most fighters are at
their best, although Bob Fitzsim-
mons was tops at 81.
Not an alright defense such as
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-06-21
How They Compare

Gene Tunney and others have
had.
Idleness for the past two years
since he won the crown from Max
Baer, although during that time
he trained twice for fights that
did not take place.
LOUIS'S ADVANTAGES
Youth-the greatest advantage
a boxer can have.
Punching power-being a murd.
erouS hitter with both hands.
A left hook that is the most
dangerous in the heavyweight
division.
A better percentage Of victories
than his opponent.
LOUIS DISADVANTAGES:
Lack of defense against a right
cross.
Too much money saved to have
the same determination to win
that spurs Braddock.
Inexperience, which is usually
very important.
Knocked out In his last really
important bout by Max Schmeling
Looking over the careers of the
two men and studying them care
fully you find that Braddock lost
10 of his 80 fights. Some Of those
decisions against him may be dis
counted because Of the fact that
he took many bouts on q days no
tice without a chance to train anc
only a game, tough fighter can de
that and avoid being flattened. He
knocked out 90 men and none were
peonies. He is one heavyweight
who was never fed set-ups. That il
important.
Louis went II rounds with
Schmeling and took q terrific beat
ing doing it. He showed plenty Of
stamina and gameneSs in thai
fight.
Summary: Two powerful
punchers, both well trained, viz
tualy equal in size but not age
A knockout is probable. If Louil
were as determined as Braddock
he should win, but his mental at
titude hasn't been satisfactory, o
his outward appearance is q pose

Throughout the first set it

However, the courageous lassie
from Morgantown, a colorful

Miss Moore had taken the first

CHICAGO, June 81,
All one can be sure
about when summing
up a case before a jury
of the public preced-
ing any great sporting
issue is what he has
seen.
One assumes his auditors are
not interested in hearsay, ru-
mors or other banter Of the
hours, but in eyewitness testi-
mony. So get yourself set for
the first-hand observations, Of
fered for what bearing they
may have on the problem OF
the hour.
I have seen Jim Braddock, the

as well as the champion in fact,

turned on the power and sent the
Scribes and the PharaSeeS away
convinced he had pointed himself
perfectly for the defense Of his
title.
It was what you might call a
Snorting finish, AS Braddock
whirled into his sparring partners
with speed that he apparently had
been saving up for them.
Circling and moving as though
on ball bearings, Braddock's left
hook was finding its mark on
poor Jack Mccarthy, as well as

Jim's trainers worked all night on
the swelling so the commission doc.
tors wouldn't detect 1t and cancel
the fight.
The rest Of Could's case estab-
fishing Braddock as dead game,
embraces the single day Of train
ing he had when he took the Mar
tin LevandowSki fight on short no
tice.
AS well as the Corn Griffin fight
which started Jim on the back
track to fame. Both Jim and Joe
needed money badly and they also
took that fight on short notice.
Jim's main diet had been corn
beef hash, for months. He was
floored in an early round, but got
