A correspondent of the London Times writes that when in Paris re- cently hc visited the Cathedral 0f Notre Dame and noticed that the guides invariably stolp-ped groups of tourists before a tablet on one of the columns near the Jeanne d'Arc statue. The taibiet bears this in- scrlptlon. in English and in French: "To the Glory of God and to the memory of One Million Dead of the British Euipire,who fell in the Great War, 1914-1918, and of which the greater part rest in France."

But does it sec-m reasonable that a husky college ‘boy should in the course of a few months become wrestling champion .of the world’! is there nothing in the game but Strength? if so. it is not surpris- ing that recently Ned Pendletoti, one of tho leading wrestlers in the United States, drew only forty- eigbt people who paid to sec him perform in New York.

Kennedy had astulrle of thr-m, nil apparently bitter rivals, but all managed by the same man. Just who is the champion at any given time is something thut even well- po=terl sporting men might be ‘ig- norant of because the title has been so frequently switched around among S-tcicher. Lewis, Caddock and Zbyszko. The ‘theory was that each should ‘hold the champion- ship for a time. tour the country or invade the movies or ‘the stage for 1i. certain time to accumulate the money that the title would bring and then lose it to another member 0f the trou-pe. Those who bold to this theory say that the reason that Munn is now the champion is -l)€Cl\llS0 ‘he is just the sort of athlete to give the game a fllllp toward popularity.
