Day on BIC PURsEs Ar AN END

DAY OF BIG PURSES At AN END
NEW YORK July 1-Fighters
may just as well say goodbye to the
fat guarantees they have received in
the past. The day of big purses is at
an end Stungs often and deep by
guaranteeing fighters huge sums only
to see the box office receipts totaling
but half the amounts boxing promo
tiers have determined % offer nothing
but percentage" terms in the future.
Boxer win be given a certain per-
I centage Of the gross receipts. No
guarantee that the percentage will
amount to any set sum viii be offered.
The promoters believe that the boxer
is worth a percentage Of what he
draws at the box Office and no more.
In order to make the percentage
thing stick, the promoters in the prin-
cipal boxing centers Of the country
have decided to form an association.
This move was first fostered by Tom
Andrews, boxing promoter Of Milwau-
kee, Wis, and it is bearing fruit.
Andrews recently made a flying trip
to New York and lined up most Of the
big promoters here. 1t is now plann-
ed to hold the initial meeting of the
promoters in Cleveland sometime in
September. The Ohio city is chosen
because of its central location. Pro-
moters from New Orleans, St Louis,
Buffalo, Boston, Milwaukee, Denver
New York have signifed their inten-
tions of attending the meeting
After organizing the promoters are
first expected to adopt rules prohibit
ing the guaranteeing Of any sum to
fighters. A hard and fast rule that on
ly certain percentage of the receipts
will be given to the fighters is planned.
After that is disposed Of the promo
tiers plan to tackle the question Of a
scale of weights.
At present the weights standard is
faulty. Fighters posing as
often enter the ring
around the lao mark. This the pro-
moters pan to do away by adopting a
uniform scale which the boxes will
have abide by.
Rules by which champion must de-
fend his title within q certain period
are also to be taken under considera-
ton but they may not be acted upon
until later session.

Regeneration Of Irish Democracy.
There is vocation truly spiritual"
said the speaker, before the Gaels to-
day, and in the reconstruction and re-
generation of the Irish democracy of
the future, the Revival will be found
a powerful auxiliary, destined to play
an important part. For then you have
placed an angel sentinel with fam
ing sword to guard every avenue that
leads to the heart Of Ireland. But to-
right we are watching another of Ire
lands angels-the angel of her resur-
rection. He is rolling back the stone
from her tomb. He is bursting the
cere-cloths with which long centuries
have bound her, and he calls on her
the spiritual conqueror Of the future
to arise and march to the field Of glory
that awaits her. He reminde her that
the green folds Of her banner hold nc
blood-stained eagles or rampant liens
Of destruction, but gentle harp
whose every string has entwined It
self around the Cross"

BISHOP McFAUL DECLINES
LEGACY,

Rt. Rev. Bishop McFaul, of Tren-
ton, has declined to accept a legacy
of $1,000, as he believed an injustice
had been done the four children Of
the testator, who had been cut off
with IS each. The will was made by
a man 80 years old and caveat was
filed by the four children, who al
legged their father was incompetent;
that his mind was weak because Of
his advanced age, and that they are
rightfully entitled to share in the es-
tate, as they had contributed to it.
Bishop McFau1, after an investiga-
tion, was convinced of the justice Of
the claim of the four children and
renounced his claim to the estate
which had been left to him to be dis
tributed among charitable institu-
tions of the Catholic church in the
Trenton diocese.

DR.. KIRBY SPEAKS OF CITY CON
DiTloNs.

In an address before the Chamber
of Commerce in Cleveland, Ohio, Rev.
DR.. w. ]. Kirby of the Catholic Uni
versity, declared "that modern pow
erty is caused or aggravated by city
conditions which overwhelm the poor.
The poor cannot control housing con-
ditions; the poor cannot regulate the
liquor traffic; the city can," he said.
The poor cannot overcome the hor-
rible forces of immortality; the city
ought to do so. The poor cannot con-
troll the circumstances of employ
ment of mothers and children, but to
some extent the city can at least
modify circumstances Of the strug-
gle," said Father Kirby.

ment?" Mr.. Wagner was asked.
"Yes. 1t is most humiliating, but
there is nothing else apparently that
we can do. One of our ships is tied
up in France, and the United States
Government does not appear to be
able to furnish any relief. Now the
Hooking has been captured, though
it had American registry and was fly
ing the American flag.

Americans will now be treated to
the shameful spectacle of an Ameri-
can ship owner going hat in hand to
Great Britain. seeking permission to
sail the seas. With ten ships that
have been granted American Registry
by the Washington Government, Mr..
Wagner is virtually compelled to ask
Great Britain's permission to take
them out of an American port.
Tell me what else we can do," Mr.
Wagner demanded. "There is the
Saginaw, formerly the Solveig, which
has been tied up at Marseilles by the
French for four months. We have
lost 100000 in freights by the deten
tion, and the Government at Wash
