NEW YORK, Apr. 1-—There is one thing that, has always puzzled a man who is easily puzzled (still don’t see why you can’t fall up instead of down) and that is simply: What would happen to boxing if you ever cleaned it up? My suspicion is that if you scourged o't the crooks and unkinked the angles and gus anteed the honesty of every bout it would wind u, as dirty dull as a duel between vegetarians. Sl We are in'the midst of a current reform wave in what thé technicians still call the beak-busting business or the cauliflower concession. Horrid allegations are current that crooks are undercover managers for pugilists ahd that all matches are not on the level. Once in a while, tod, some poor bum takes too many in the teeth, or cracks his head ‘and dies, and, then they holler up- the horrors of the sport all over again. : BH GD
MEMORY of man does not recall a date of simon purity in.what is not a sport but a dirty business, fit largely for swine, thugs and hoodlums. I am prone to doubt the legitimacy of David's quick decision over Goliath, even, on the off chance the giant'took a dive. Saith the prophet: When vou gol .two guys in an arena
trying to heat each other's brains out, there wil’
always he an angle. Ever_since I. have: been around fights there were. hoddlums in the racket, either openly or thinly veiled by fronts. For, every. fight I could swear was on the level, I have seen another susceptible to reasonable doubt. Some -of the squarest lookers turned out to be rank tank jobs, too. One time I saw a man knock himself out by deliberately hitting the other fellow’s glove with his chin. Had the devil's own time finding the target, too. : > 2
“ THERE ARE managers who are honest, perhaps, and matchmakers who are honest, perhaps, and even .fighters who are nature's noblemen.
, But most of the managers I knew were liars and
heartless thieves, and the matchmakers were dollar-greedy buzzards with the consciences’ of cobray: or every nice guy in the pro’ ranks, muchas Tha or Louises, I am apt to dig you up a Bummy Davis or,a Rocky Graziano. Most of the gladiators come off the gutters, and they have to enjoy it to he good at it. We like to died laughjng the other day when some ungruntled manager of slightly shady repute beat the stuffing from the littered vest of Mr. Alphonse W#ill,.the noble matchmaker— who promptly denied knewlédge of who put the boots to- him. For the record, this was an epic battle between jackals over a piece of carrion. Only

It really isn't hard to figure out why. Bill, a married man, with a boy, 7, and a girl, 3, spends more time in supermarkets than I do. And, I spend, or did spend, more time. in establishments where, by law, one must be 21 to enter. Sante Cin é We recalled the CME, Church gym where
‘basketball took preference over supper. Douglas
Park and St. Casimir bazaars brought back memories of precious pennies and boyhood pranks. “You know the gym was torn down, don't you?"

He thought the gym shouldn’t have required much tearing. * > ¢ WE CHASED foul balls at- Turner Field for a moment and slipped on the rocks that skirted the fence in the Grand Calumet River.

© It is sometimes argued that religion” emphasizes the needs of the individual to the exclugion of the problems of soclety where that. individual must live and work.

AS WE progress these messages will deal almost entirely with the personal approach to the establishment of the Kingdom .of God on earth.

is of becoming blind to collec. tive human needs, seeing only “the good” for oneself or for those intimately related to ones self. It is too often an escape from the commandment to
“love your neighbor as yours self.” It is a heresy of grave
proportions and tries to supers. |
impose g' selfish faith upon an unsearched social conscience,
The “social gospel” enthusiast, however, places his emphasis upon the collective sins of society; and all too often ignores his own individual guilt of not loving his neighbor, er his immediate family. Frequently he pays heed only to the sins of society and since the 4dea of “personal religion” is anathema, he permits himself to get off scotfree, In this book we shail attempt to make religion per. sonal -in order that wé may form better human relatione ships among "all sorts and cone ditions of men.” ‘a (Copyright, 1052, by Harper«& Brothers) NEXT: The “Heart” is the “Sum Total”
