THE THINGS THAT CATHOLICS
COULD DO.

Perhaps the real and fundamental
reason why missionary priests in our
own luxurious United States are suf-
fering hardships that seventeenth cen
fury missionaries were acquainted
with is because the vast majority of
with their needs. Our Catholic mis-
sionaries suffer cold and hunger; they
suffer everything including spiritual
Inconvenience, and the great reason
is simply this: Their fellow Catholics
do not realize their want. If they did
it is inconceivable that they would not
stretch forth helping hand to relieve
their necessities, especially as most
! Catholics realize the truth of the
axiom that what is given to the poor
is given to God, Who repays generous
ly. And who is poorer than mission
airy?
There are many people who owe
. something to the missions. They have
. received graces and favors, both spir-
: itual and temporal. They could give
in thanksgiving.
And there are many other people
. who owe something to the missions.
1t may be that they are asking God
for some special favor, and a sacrifice
is demanded.
Nor does everyone. believe that they
can afford to give $500 for the erection
of a chapel in some poor missionary
district. But there are enough calls
to extend to every Catholic a chance
to do something or other. Twen-
ty-five dollars sent in to the Catholic
Church Extension Society will do many
things. Here are few of them:
Twenty-Five dollars will purchase a
chalice, a set of altar linens and a
Missal for Bishop Nussbaum's diocese.
His priests need many articles to
equip their churches in lonely mis-.
sionary districts.
Twenty-Five dollars will buy sane
tuary lamp, and oil for one year for
Father Flavin's chapel of st. Joseph
which is located in the State of Wash.

BY GRAVY"

This is the. sixty-second ann1ver-
sary of the birth Of Paddy Ryan, the
great Irish fighter who was John l..
Sullivan's predecessor as champion OF
America. Like most of the early
American champions, Paddy was born
under the British flag The irish
town of Thurles, in County Tipperary,
was the scene OF Ryan's mundane de-
but on March 81, 1853. He early fol-
lowed the tide of Hibernian emigra-
ton to the New World, and settled
in Troy, N. ", where in his youth
he was employed as an ironW worker
The Collar City was one of the Invest
pugilistic towns on the map, and the
local fans still reveled in memories
of John G.. Keenan,, John Morrissey
and other Trojans who had COM
menced their fighting careers in the
town on the Hudson. Paddy soon
caught the fever, and by the time he
was twenty five had made fair repu-
tation fighter.
At the time the Trojan from Tip
perary began his ring career there
were several claimants to the Ameri-
can championship. Joe Goss. ar
Englishman, claimed the honor after
defeating Tom Allen, another British

YALE HAS CLEANfS1
RECORD IN LEAGUE
Ends Basketball Season With Only
. NIncty-tWo Fouls.
Team RecordS-Fouls,

Yale played the cleanest, as we'll
as the best basketball in the inter-
collegiate league championship series
which ended last week when the Ellis
captured the title with a record of
eight games won and two lost. In
the official compilation of fouls called
on the players during the season the
Blue was the luckiest, being set down
for only 80 attractions Of the rules,
as against 129 for PENNSYLVANIA,
which was the worst offender. CO.
lu1nbia was next to the top with 95,
Dartmouth was third with 1903,
Princeton fourth with 11S and Cor
nell fifth with 1875. ....
That Yale's team played an ex-
ceptionally fine brand of basketball is
shown by the fact that only 50 per-
sonal fouls were called as against
~ on Dartmouth and 70 on Column
bia. Cornell was penalized 90 times
for personal fouls, Princeton, 81, and
Pennsylvania, Sc. Never in the his
tory of the league series has the
championship team returned such q
Small total Of penalties.
662 Fouls Called.
Altogether 662 fouls were called
during the season, or an average Of
90 per game. The worst game was
the Pennsylvania-Prin encoun-
ter at Philadelphia, at which As fouls
were called. The Columbia-Cornel
game at New York, with al fouls
was not much better. One of the
most cleanly played games was the
Yale Columbia game, In which only
Is fouls were called. a. f..# .
Seelbach of Pennsylvania was the
worst individual offender, WITH a to-

er, in Covington, KY, in 1875. A
couple of years later Jimmy Elliott
announced himself as champion, but
in 1879 he was defeated by Johnny
Dwyer. The latter was soon stricken
with tuberculosis and did not survive
long and Joe Goss was again recog-
nized ais champion.
Goss was born in Wolverhampton,
England, and fought Jem Mace and
other leading English boxers before
coming to America. He was in his
forty second year when he fought
Paddy Ryan for the. championship at
Collier Station, w. Va, in the spring
Of 1880 That battle with the raw
.uns" ranks as one of the classic con-
tests Of the American prize ring. The
veteran Goss, in spite Of his more
than two-score years, fought like
demon, and the Tipperary man
seemed several times on the point of
going, down to defeat before his old
but experienced antagonist. 1t was
not until eighty-seven rounds had
been fought that youth triumphed
over age and Ryan was declared the
champion of America.
Paddy Ryan cleared only couple
Of hundred dollars from that fight
OF eighty seven furious rOundS--a
sum that would be scoffed at by any
but dub for six-round bout in
these days of high finance.
At this time John l.. Sullivan, "the
Boston Strong Boy" was just coming
to the front, and in 1881 an attempt
was made to match him with Ryan,
but 1T fell through for the time. Lat
er in the year Jawn again challenged
Paddy, and the latter accepted The
battle was staged at Mississippi City,
Miss, early in 1882, and was for
purse Of $4,000 and the championship
of America.
Ryan was an inch short of six feet,
about half inch taller than Sully.
and they were about evenly matched
as to weight. The sports expected
Paddy to win, and they were sur
prised when Sullivan quickly demon
strated that his punches were harder
and quicker than the champions.
John l.. smashed through his guard
with crushing right-handers, and in
! the fourth round Ryan's jaw was
| broken, but he fought on gamely till
! the ninth. when n right to the Jaw
dropped Paddy for the full count
Ryan and Sullivan attempted to
fight again in New York in 1885, but
/ the police stopped the bout. The
next year Sullivan knocked out Ryan
in the third round in San Francisco
A little later Ryan was defeated by
| Joe McAuliffe in New York, and re-
tired from the ring, settling in Troy,
where he died.

MAR|NO WILL Be ON
DECK FOR BOUT HERE
Manager Assures Fay That He
Will Go Against Taylor.

Despite all rumors to the contrary
Young Marino, who is to box Jimmy
Taylor in fifteen round bout at
"Tippy" Fay's show in Turner hall
tomorrow night, will not appear in
show this evening at New Bedford.
Assurances to that effect have been
received from his manager in New
York, who has sent telegram re-
ceived by him from the promoter of
the New Bedford bouts which shows
that the card has been called of.
Marine will arrive tomorrow and as he
has been going through a vigorous
dition for Taylor.
Fay repeated this morning that he
intended to give the fans the worth of
their money as, he says, his reputa-
isfaction of the audience. He says he
will return the money IL he does not
give satisfaction and that the bouts
will go on whether the attendance
numbers one or 1000.
Taylor 10 Lbs. Fully Clothed.
Taylor hoped on the scales yester-
day just to dispel any doubts regard
ing his weight He showed that his
appearance is deceptive when the
balance beam registered 119 pounds

COLLEGE TEAMS HIT
BY LOSS OF PLAYERS
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Penn,
SyVanla arc Affected.

The baseball teams of Yale, Prince
ton, Harvard and Pennsylvania are
about evenly balanced this season, but
Yale and Pennsylvania have lost their
best pitchers. Brown and Gile of the
Eli squad graduated, while Pitcher
Sayre and Catcher Schwert are lost to
the Red and Blue, but in Way, hefty
youngster, as he gains control, will
be even better than the pair of
pitchers lost to the Blue.
Harvard's inf1eld has been some
what broken up, while Princeton has
been affected by the loss in batting
strength due to a loss of heavy hit
ters. In addition to losing two
pitchers, Yale has lost Swihart, at
first base, Cornish at second, Captain
Blossom at shortstop and Falsey Mt
left field. Pumpelly will likely fill
Swihart's place, and Captain Middle
brook and Haines may be brought
into the infield to fill the places made
vacant by Blossom and Cornish.

excellent material from the freshman
class.
