FREE LECTURE.
At Odd Fellowa' Hall Sunday After
noon at Three O'clock.
There will be an interesting service
Sunday afternoon, March 3rd, at the
Odd Fellows hall, East Chicago.
The International Bible Students'
association has made arrangements tor
Mr. Calvin II. Swingle, Bible scholar
and lecturer, to give a series of three
lectures illustrated by a large painted
chart.
The object of these meeting is not
to establish any denomination or sect, but to stimulate Christians and others
to a study of the Bible and to gain a clearer insight into God's holy word.
The association has arranged for
similar lectures throughout the coun
try and at all them seats are free and no collection is lifted. The first lecture
will be on "Why Did God Permit Evil."
Mr. Swingle claims that when rightly
understood the Bible contains sufficient evidence to prove its own inspiration.
'One of these evidences," says Mr.
Swingle, "is the marvelous way in which the BJble answers the question of the permission of evil, and the an
swer the Bible gives when rightly di
vided, is so satisfactory, so in harmony
with the Love, Justice, Wisdom and Power of God that it would seem to leave no room to doubt that the Bible, the channel through which the answer
comes, is indeed the Inspired word of
God."
Christian and agnostic, Jew and Gen
tile, saint and sinner, will all be welcome.

school. The announcement was made by Major Butts as the result of the de
struction of $8 worth of electric light
bulbs recently.
BOXING NEWS
AND GOSSIP
Harry Stone, following the order of the day, announces in raucous tones: "My hat is in the ring." All Harry wants is for some of our near-lightweights, or regular lightweights,- to give him a chance to display " nis skill and science against them. Jimmy Walsh, who says he la the legitimate bantamweight champion, wants to get Frankie Burns In the ring. Eddie Keevin, who manages Walsh. Is willing to stand a tap that Jimmy beats Frankie. If Burns passes up the offer any boy that cares to battle Walsh may accept the defl. , From the manner in which the cables are sizzling, it looks as if all arrangements for a battle between Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight champion, and Al Palzer is as good as settled. Eddie Graney, the San Francisco
promoter, is hot after the bout, ard he has promised the men every inch of the coast town If they will appear before his club. Wells sails from England today, and when he arrives there will be further news. Until then remain passive. Joe Mandot, the southern bearcat, will probably show around Xew York within the next few weeks." Plans are under way to get Mandot and Owen Moran to box. Mandot has been the terror of New Orleans for all ambitious visitors. He took them, one and all, trounced them and sent them on -their way. That is -what Is not known as southern hospitality. Tommy Dixon thinks Clarence "Wildcat" Ferns of Kansas City is the coming welter champion. Ferns might try conclusions with Packey McFarland, who looks about the best in the business at 142 pounds.
M'FARLAND BOOSTS HIS STOCK FEW NOTCHES Packey McFarland's easy victory over Tommy Devlin in the fourth round of a scheduled ten-round contest at Cleveland. O., Thursday night created a lot of talk in local fight circles yesterday. The upsetting of Eddie Murphy at South Bend and the subsequent knockout of Devlin has raised Packey's stock several notches in the estimation of even those who did not think he had a
punch. Ijocal fans now have made him a hot favorite over "One Round" Hogan, whom he meets in New Pork on Tuesday night before Billy Gibson's Fairmont club. Realizing that Packey will be a greater attraction than ever if he beats Hogan, Kenosha (Wis.) promoters have redoubled their efforts to close a match between McFarland and "Kid" Burns, the eye polisher of New Tork.

EAST CHICAGO
FIGHTS
SEEN BY SMIL
CROWD
.Some of the best lightweight boxing talent that has been staged in this vicinity In many moons was seen by a small but enthusiastic audience at the Lewis .skating ring at Bast Chicago last night- It was the first boxing show that has been staged since raising' the lid some' weeks ago. Everything went oft Just Ilk clockwork and although the bouts were tame In one sense of the word, the little gamesters put up an excellent exhibition of the fistic game. , In accordance with' the rulings of the police eight-ounce gloves were used and not one drop of blood was "shed. Every fighter received his
instructions before he-jentered the ring and each obeyed them to ' the minute.
displaying a fast.Vlever and olean bout. At 9 o'clock the curtain raiser was staged with Jack Messlnca of East Chicago and -Young Callahan in a finish
match. Both men appeared In the ring about evenly matched, but Messlnca proved his superiority by taking the first two falls in short order. The East Chicago lad had the bulge on his opponent In every department of the game and era -long it looks like Messlnca will be one of the comers. His first fall was gained by a half nelson and body hold In 1 minute BO seconds, and the last with a body hold In 2 minutes 30
seconds. The preliminary brought out Jimmy McCabeand Kid Blaney in a fourround contest. Both were well developed 'men and during the four rounds of fighting neither man had It on the
other. Blaney did his share of the
leading, while McCabe hung back and
played the waiting game. He has
vicious punch with his left and It he
connect with his opponent with
lighter glove it would be beautiful
sleep producer.
Joe Bishop of Whiting and John Mo-
Kenna of East Chicago, who mad hi
debut at the H. A. A. fights some months ago, gave the fans amusement
in the next bout, and believe ua, those boys were there, putting up the best
article of fast and clever fighting of
the evening. They were about evenly
match and not a minute vu wasted In
the few short rounds. They mixed It very minute and was her and there
In lightning fashion. Aa amateurs the
Lake county lads put up a good demonstration of cleverness and prom is to
make good before many years.
The main bout between Jimmy Wlh
and Christie Zanders went six rounds as scheduled, and Zanders proved himself to be a whirlwind against the stocky Englishman. But Welsh was
too good for the little warrior and gave the audience an exhibition of clever footwork and ducking. Many a time Welsh had an opportunity of slipping
over a knockout, but he flatly refused to do anything else than tap his man. But at that it was a good bout and those that missed the contests will
have another opportunity of seeing an other good card next Friday night.
Bob Alexander and Ernie Zanders acted as referee and William McOraw
timekeeper.

Champion Frank Gotch may stay in retirement for a while longer. Mahmout took two straight falls from Pedersen at the Coliseum last night. Mahmout won the match in 32 minutes 55 seconds. He took the. first fall with a scissors on the body and left arm and neck chancery in 23:45, and the second with a toe hold, a chancery on the wrist and , chancery on the neck in 8:10. After his victory Mahmout challenged Stanislaus Zbyszko. Lack of knowledge of the fine points of the catch-as-cateh-can style proved the big Dane's undoing. Above the waist he proved a Goliath, immune to the vicious assaults of the Turk, but his inability to protect himself from the waist down to the toes gave Mahmout a chance for victory. Well convinced after the first few minutes , on the mat that it would be
impossible for him to throw the Dane
by working around the head and shoul
dors, Mahmout brought the trickery
made famous by Frank Gotch Into play.
From start to finish he worried the big Dane by continuous feints around the legs until he finally secured the holds
with which he pinned him down.
A crowd second only to that which
attended the Ilack-Gotch fiasco at the
White Box park witnessed the bouts.
Chief McWeeny, Assistant Chief of Vo

wrestler, were In seats at th ringside.

FIGHTING GAME
"Where are the Chicago men who will start a movement for legislation permitting clean' boxing?" Dozens of times the question was asked yesterday among fight fans and left unanswered. Mayor Harrison had come out with a flat-footed declaration favoring the "right kind" of boxing. He even had Intimated regret that the state law bars him from" authorizing short .bouts under regulations preventing "fixed" fights and stopping unnecessary brutality in uneven matches. The mayor expressed a willingness to sanction honest sport In the form of six-round affairs If the necessary
amendment to the statutes is passed. He said he was not considering taking the Initiative in the matter. He knew of no one proposing to start the bail rolling. For that reason he could foresee no change In the present situation. He intends to adhre strictly to the state law. , "Why, then," demanded one enthusiast after reading the mayor's Interview, "doesn't some one start a movement to change the state law? The mayor is willing to issue permits for decent bouts if he is allowed to do so. This is the time to go after the amendment. Candidates for the legislature
WHITING HIS AGAIO
(Special to This Times.) Crown Point, Ind.. March 2. In the basket ball gam between the Whiting high school and the Crown Point team, the "oil city" five doubled th score on the local players, last night at the high school gymnasium, 14 to 28 tolls the story of the drubbing administered the local team, who on account of the tlcknesa of on of the star performers. Bartholomae, were "off form," soma evidently biased decisions by Referee Kelly also helped pile up the scor against the county seat team, but taking everything Into consideration. Whiting deservedly won, the game, playing a better class of ball than the locals last night. Inaccuracy In basket throwing on several easy chances proved Crown Point's undoing. The game was particularly rough, every Inch .. of vantage being contested for. The game with Valparaiso .scheduled for this evenig has been canceled owing, to the reported ineligibility of some of the Valpo students on account of grade standing.
