When tha ministers referred to the scheduled event as a prise fight and to Jeffries and Johnson as prise fighters. Herget objected and declared Jeffries "has never been In a fight In his life." Ilorget Invited the "whole church feder ation to be present at the next fight."

Rader. , "Reverend, I must object to your saying that we are going to grant a permit for t prtae fight. This Is to be merely a boxing exhibition," said Herget. ' . What la Jeffries f "Is Jeffries a prlxe fighter or a boxer?" asked Mr. Rader. "A boxer." "Then he Is not a fighter at allT" ' . "Not In my opinion," the chairman re plied, . i. "And be has never fought?" the minister queried. "Has contested." Herget ventured. "Well, In my opinion, the affair Is In tended to be a prize fight and the permit ihould not be granted," concluded Mr. Rader. 'It certainly it not to be a picnic." "I .roust disagree with you again, rev erend," said Herget. "This contest is to be conducted under the Marquis of Queens bury rules, laid down by a gentleman and peer of England.' These, rules govern all boxing contests nere. A prize iignt is a fight with bare fists. It brings in wrestling and other things and it is sometimes as toiiztwas foot ball." Ihe committee then, decided to recom mend the granting of the fight permit. CHl'ItCH I'ltOlKSTS BIQ FIGHT to Head of Sugar Company Must Give Testimony Washington B.
