GOTHAM BOXING FIoURIsHEs

These arc golden days for boxer and

many engagements ahead that they

TIRED OF HAVING
Their Legs PULLED
Why AtIaRta'S Rich Men Re.
fuse to Cough Up

Atlanta, March 3.-Atlantians are
criticizing the city's rich men for not
coming forward in more telling man
ner to the support of the movement 0
strengthen the Young Mems Christian
Association here
Prominent citizens who interest
themselves in public enterprises start
ed out on a ten-day campaign to raise
100000 for Y. NJ. C. A. purposes. This
amount included the present Y. NJ 9.
A. property, which was valued at
100000 John D. Rockefellers contri-
button to the Tech Y. NJ. c. A. of $780,
600, and a contribution of $4,000 to
the negro Y. NJ. C. A movement offer,
ed by a Chicago man.
This left to be raised only $325,0O0.
The ten days passed with but little
more than 100000 raised among At
lantans, most of which was given by
men of moderate means and the cam
paign was continued through two
weeks.
At the end of the two weeks period
Sunday, the Subscription Committee
was still $4,000 shy of the required
amount and many of the subscriptions
which had been given depended upon
raising the full amount-$6OO,0
Should Atlanta fall down on a prop
osition of this kind? Everybody said
no; but the men with the big money,
or most of them, held aloof.
One of Atlanta's richest men, said to
command four or five millions, had
given nothing. 1t had been hoped that
he would head the list with $4,000 Ct
that he would at least give 5000 TO
the movement.
One or two others who were looked
to for at least $4,000 also have re-
manned clam-like. And there are sew
eral others who were expected to come
forward with $4,000 or $1,000 but who
have not yet chirped.
At the last moment the committee
got busy and went out to hunt up these
backward brethren with the hundred
thousands and the millions, but after
they had seen them, or all of them
they could find, they still lacked the
same old $65,OO0, and the situation
looked pretty tough.
However, the committee pulled it.
self together, and said it would put
another week into the fight.
1t started out with the slogan, CAT
lanta must not fall down" And a
good part of that $65,OOO has been
raised. sea- -. b.
The trouble with the rich men, or
some Of them, was tina they had al
ready been leg-pulled pretty heavily
and their extremities had about been
Exhausted of their elasticity.
For instance, the man who was
looked to for $4,000 in one bunch, not
long ago gave $4,000 to big church
enterprise; others had contributed
heavily to the Agnes Scott college and
similar campaigns, and although they
had a few dollars left with which tc
keep the wolf away from the door
they felt as If the limit had been
reached.
! But the committee says it is going
to put the thing through this week u
Idle in the attempt.
