eteran Goes To Boxer’s Aid
And Is Shot, Dying
Later.
f York, June 15—William (Bill)
n, prominent heavy-weight
’, was shot and instantly killed
in the Tiajuana cabaret of
which he was proprietor. James Cul
len, a state trooper, was shot in, the
neck as he ran to Brennan’s rescue
and died later today in a hospital.
James Hughes and Frank Rassi, be
lieved to be two of a band of five who
committed the killing, are under ar
rest
Brennan was chatting with friends
when Hughes, who Is described as an
unkempt individual with a prison
record, asked the pugilist to step out
side for a moment. Shots were heard
almost immediately afterward.
Brennan’s sister, known on the
stage as Shirley Sherman, told the
police she ran outside and saw five
men, all of whom ran away when
she appeared. She siezed Hughes by
the arm as she screamed for help.
Hughes, however, threw her to ike
floor. A bullet halted Cullen* who
was dose behind the girl. He stag
gered hack into the cabaret and fell
unconscious.
Hughes and Rassi became separa
ted from their companions and turn
ed up a corridor, the door of which
was closed. Breaking the glass of the
door with the butts of their pistols
they walked into the arms of police
Lieutenant John Hagerty. They beat
Hagerty into unconsciousness, corn-
man dered a taxicab and fled.
Two policemen, attracted by the fir
ing, took up the chase in another
taxi and captured the pair after a
break-neck drive. Both have served
terms in prison, the police said. The
band, according to the police, are
members of a “Hell’s Kitchen” gang,
who have apparently borne a grudge
against the pugilist for some time.
Brennan, whose home formerly was
in Chicago, was a noted pugilistic
figure for ten days, becoming a for
midable challenger for the heavy
weight title in 1920. He was knock
ed out by Jack Dempsey at Madison
Square Garden that year, but sur-
the champion and staying 12 rounds
before taking the count of ten. |iHe
was knocked out onoe more by Demp
sey before the latter dethroned Jess
Willard as title holder. That was in
1918 when D#mpsey scored a knock
out in six rounds. • i&I
Brennan figured as. a “trial horse”
in the 1923 heavyweight campaign.
After losing a decision to Floyd John
son* Brennan was knocked out in the
twelfth round by Luis Angel Firpo, a
defeat that threatened for a time
to end disastrously for the veteran
who spent several days iif a hospital
with slight concussion of the brain
and other injuries as a result of the
terrific pounding he received from the
South American, then battling his
way to the front.
That bout really marked the end of
Brennan’s career although he made
one more appearance inside^the ropes
in November when he was knocked^eut
by Billy Miske in four rounds at Oma
ha, Neb.
Starting his professional career in
1914, Brennan engaged in 121 ring
battles record books show. He gained
the sobrieqnet of “Knockout Bill” by
flattening his opponents in 65 of these
contests. The only men who knocked
him put were Dempsey, Firpo and
Miske, but he also lost decision to
Johnson, Harry Greb, Miske and Bat
tling Levinsky.
HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS
Be prompt. You would not steal
from the firm, yet time is what you
are paid money for.
Do not mix business and social life.
Wear business clothes to work and
reserve your party gowns for every
wear. Also, do not pay social calls
over the phone in business hours, nor
allow your friends to call you up at
the office.
Eat nourishing food. No woman
can work hard who is half fed either
because she has a delicate appetite
or because she starves herself to be
come thin to be in the fashion.
Do not allow your family to inter
fere with your working hours. Moth
ers do not expect wage earning sons
to take time off from the office to
attend to home affairs, yet ask the
daughters to do numberless efrands.

The lemon committee has desig
nated this as reforms, but It was more
then reform. It waa a revival. It re
quires the quickening of God’s spirit
to Induce men, especially a whole na
tion. to turn to God from their sins.
This is a flue Illustration of the right
ful place of God’s word In the life of
a nation
I. The Word of Qod Retng Read
(Neh. 8tl-3).
1. The Roger Assembly (▼. 1). The
people gathered themselves together
and spake' unto Bara to bring the
book of the law. The people with
yearning hearts requested the reeding
of God’s Word.
2. A Representative Assembly (v.
2). It was made up of men, women
and children. The men did not leave
the spiritual alfah* to the women,
neither were the children left at homei
3. An Appreciative Assembly (v. It).
So eager were they to know GihI’s
Word that they did not get tired, al
though the lessons lasted for five or
six hours. Their ears were ettemive
from morning nntll midday.
II. The People’s Attitude Toward
God’s Word (Neh. 8:4-6). <
1. Reverence Shown God’s Word
(w. 4, 5). When Ezra opened' the
Law, all the people stood up out of
respect for God’s Word.
2. They Joined Heartily In the
Prayer. As Ezra led them In prayer
they joined heartily In saying, "Amen,
Amen,” bowing their faces to the
ground.
III. God’s Word Being Interpreted
(Neh. 8:7, 8.)
The attitude of the people toward
God’s Word largely depends upon the
minister.
1. He Stood Up Where the People
Could See Him. (v. 5).-
2. He Head Distinctly (v. 8). Much
Bible reading Is greatly to the dis
credit of the Word and the reader.
3. Caused the People to Understand
the Reading (v. 8).-The supreme busi
ness of the minister gnd teacher Is to
make the Word of God so plain that
all—old and young—can understand.
IV. The Effect ef Applying God’e
Word to National Lift (Neh. 8:9-18).
1. Conviction of Sin (v. 9). The
Word of God Is quick and powerful
Heb. 4:12). It brings conviction of
sin (Acts 2:37). God’s method of con
victing men of sin Is to have HI*,-
Word applied by the Holy Ghost.
2. Weeping Turned Into Joy (vv.
10-12). When sins have been per
ceived and confessed God would not
have His children—to^ be
tinned mourning will not atone for the
sins that are past. ~lt unfits one for
present tasks and dishonors a pardon
ing God.
3. They Shared Their Blessings
With Others (vv. 10-12). True Joj
manifests itself In giving to others.
4. The People Obeyed (vv. 13-18).
In* their acquaintance with the Scrip
tures they found that the Feast“of th*
Tabernacles had been long neglected.
They went to work and kept this sa
cred feast In a way that it had not
been kept since the days of Joshua
(v. 17).
5 ; Separation From the Ungodly
(Neh. 13:1-3). As soon as they had
heard the Word of God, they sepa
rated themselves from the mixed mul
titude.
6. The House of Worship Was
Cleared and Order Restored (Neh.
13:4-14). No nation can he strong
which neglects Its worship of the true
God.
7. Restoration of the Sabbath (Neh.
13:l">-2). Israel had long violated the
8abbath. Unnumbered evils follow In
the wake of Sabbath desecration. To
Ignore the essential law’ of the Sab
bath is national suicide.
8. Restoration of God's Law of Mar
riage (Neh. 13:23-31). When those
who had Intermarried with the
heathen were brought face to fire
with their sin, they separated them
selves from their ungodly companions,
because they could no! have God’s
favor while living In disobedience to
His Word.

lips and the heart, that shows at the
same time pearls and the soul.”—Vie

It Is adversity, not prosperity, that
breeds men. as it Is th'e storm, and
not the calm, which makes the mar
iner.—Severy.
Minority and Majority

minority. ' Every majority wa» one*
a minority.

*\T 7HATS the good of a scientific lubricating chart, ,, says
W the experienced Fleet Boss,” when you don’t take the
trouble to follow it. You ought to use medium in Winter and
heavy in Summer, watch your transmission grease and use a
real flushing riil when you drain your crank case. Car and oil
engineers together have figured out the chart. I use it for
every model in the fleet—you ought to be just as careful.”
Fifty-four years of experience in studying lubricating prob
lems and specifying the right lubricants are back of the “Stand

mission, differential —the chart is your one reliable guide.
Learn what the chart says and stick to it. Most good dealers
carry all the “Standard” Polarine Motor oils and greases you
need and urge you to accept only what the chart recommends.
