How much should | give
to make this a better world?

W kIIdhC ClIlS d UCCCCl WOI M
A CERTAIN man in New York filled out his
y income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53% Andhis total gifts to church and char.
ity for the year were $I4S.
Think of it-thousands spent for Injuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
little better than he found i'll
Most of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.
Our average daily gift for all church causes s
less than spend for daily papers
less than local telephone cal
less than third of the days car fare
less than cents a day
No wonder that 8O% of the ministers of America
are paid less than $40 week. No wonder that
the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick
people a year. No wonder that China has only
one doctor for every 100000 people. No wonder
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
1t isn't because selfish it isn't because we
don't help It's just because one has ever put
up great big program to and asked US to think OF the
work of the church in a systematic busnesslke way
The Interchurch World Movement represents the united
program of thirty denominations They have surveyed
their whole task no business could have done 1t better
They have budgeted their needs; business could have
scientific budget They have united to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication AT least million dol
will be saved by the fact that thirty individual car
paigns joined in united effort.
And they come to the men or women who love America
you this week asking you them as the chan
mel through which certain definite part OF your income
can be be applied to make this better world
Only you can determine what part of your income that
should be-
rs a good time right now to answer that question
We're passing through the world just once how much
better will the world be because passed through

By Ed. Hughes.)

Fred F>ulton's great left and newly developed lighting heart may yet win g. worlds heavyweight championship Fulton will soon clash with Harry Wills, the 'HBlack panther before the newly organized International Sport ing Club in New York. Either one or the other will be eliminated from titu- lar consideration after that fight. Wills has persistcnely challenged Jack Dempsey who has as consistently drawn the "color line" Fulton has been whining for another crack at the champion since his quick knockout at the champions hands.
 F'ulton's early career was marred by
 lack of confidence in his ability. Even hands has been ascrlbed to too much respect for the champion. Fulton later almost ostracised himself from ringdom by foolishly claiming the Dempsey affair was a fake" Then Tom O'Rourke took him in hand, re-
 stored considerable of the tall plas- terer's fairly good standing with ring fans, and more important, planted a fighting heart in Fulton. Since the Dempsey confession Fulton has met the toughest he could get, black and white. His success both here and abroad has been startling.
 F'ultons regeneration a fighting man recalls that of other stars of the past who started with white feather handicap. Old timers re- m ember Kid Carter, conqueror of Joe Walcott and other great ones--a mid d1eweight who whipped formidable heavies. When he retired Garter was
 known as one of the gamest men who
 ever drew on a glove. Yet in his nov ice days Carter used to crawl under the ropes to avoid a beating.
 | It wasn't so long ago that Jim Saw l age, the Jersey Adonis,'' was rated
 as one of our leading Heavies. Savage i for years was a notorious "diver." It was this ugly fault which really pre- vented his becoming a champion.
 Critics have repeatedly claimed he was as clever as Jim Corbett. And he could hit with the power of a Mccoy. Later, when it was too late to become
 anything, Savage developed wonderful 1 courage He wouldn't quit under the
 severest pounding. Ultimately he
 knew what it was to be popular with l iringsiders
 l Stanley Ketche1 when he first start ed out was scared stiff at the pros pect of a beating. He, too. ultimately
 became a lion-hearted performer---the
 most courageous, perhaps, the ring
 ever knew.
 Fred Fultons case may become a
 parallel one to these. It seems to be
 working out that way so far, at least.

REAL HUMAN FISH

'"The only real human fish," re- marked the old time sport fan, Was Carlisle D. Graham who used to start1e the world with his daring aquatic feats before some or you fe1- lows were born It will be just thir- ty-four years agos tomorrow since Graham braved the Whirlpool Rapids at Niagara Falls. A great crowd as- senb1ed to witness this stunt and but few thought he would come through it alive This was Graham's first public appearance, and the crowd Tnarve11ed at his courage-foolhardi- ness, they thought-in attempting a feat which the greatest swimmers of the time feared to try. Graham sur prise sfhsm all by accomplishing the
 "A few years later he repeated this feat, and a short time afterward des- cended the Horseshoe Falls in a bar rel In 1901 and 1902 Graham again swam the rapids His last public ap- pearance was in September, 1902, for shortly after that the daredevil swim mer who had so often risked his life caught cold in his own homeNa and died of pneumonia-'

Yacht Race Will Cost
 IiptOn One Million
NEWSPAPERMEN ROYALTY ENTERTAINED ON BOARD SIR THOMAS BOAT EVERY DAY AFTER TRIALS-SIX CRAFT IN
 LIPTON'S NAVY OFF SANDY
 HOOK
HOOK

New York, July 10.---There's a little bit of Ireland floating off the Jersey coast and it's -nler is a familiar figure in yachting f1annels and cap. It's Sir Thomas Lipton and his navy" craft strong---invading the United States to capture the Americas Cup in a yachtsmen's battle off Sandy Hook this month.
 The man to whom a large patch of water is an alien sight thinks of the cup races as a. few impromptu jousts between a couple of sailing sloops which cost a mite more than the average man can afford. He does not realize that these yachts and their crews have to go through a period oT training as long as that of any foot ball team and a thousand times more costly.
 l. By purchase charter Sir Thomas has anna ssed his fleet In addition to the challenger, Shamrock ", and the trial horse, the 23-meter Shamrock, there is the steam yacht Victorsa, the fla gship of the fleet, on which the veteran yachtsman lives, anchored each night in the Hudson.
 | Then there is the house boat Kill larney, tucked snugly away in the shelter of the Hook. On the Killarney reside the crews of the two racin g craft.
 But this does not complete the fleet. There is the tug Governor Smith to tow the sloops to the starting line and snappy speed boat to run er- rands. Nunberless smaller launches
 and dingys don't count in this yacht ing armada.
 i The Irish baronet has his daily chedule---enjoyatble enough, but just i at present a business to which he ad- heres as closely the broker daily watches his ticker.
 Each day he steams down to the Hook from New York to watch the challenger---his sweetheart, the el- derly bachelor calls her---match her speed against the trial horse. l Each day, as dusk approaches. he holds conferences with his band of | yachting experts, suggesting little changes here. little changes there, smoothing out a ripple in club-top- sail which to the land-lubber fits ex-
 actly or clipping a few inches from a topmas st with which. to the uninitiat-
 ed. there seems nothing wrong.
 And each day he continues to deal out dollars to the 150 members of his sarnlAd da. For it is an expensive sport this quest of hundred guinea cuT and victor or loser, Sir Thomas viii have paid out more than a million
 dollars for this years races alone.
 At o'clock, except in most distress ling weather, raising of Sir Thomas T personal fag--a green shamrock or
 a field of gold---betokens that the
 vice-comnl odore of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club is aboard, awake and ready to receive guests. These invar- ia.bly include a corps of newspaper
 men. Most of them come for break fast stay for lunch and finger fol
 dinner, and as sea air breeds an ap-
 petite, the yachts larder receives 2
 blow which would make the ordina rJ
 housewife -quiver in these days of higI
 prices.
 Then the Victoria weighs anchor
 Recognized by all harbor craft, sht receives saIutes from sootiest tug tt
 most majestic battleship.

FULTON WILLS BOUT
 ARRANGED IN HURRY

It, seems that the International Sporting Club of Nov York, did not use, the best, judgment in the world when it set July 18th as the date for the Fred Fulton-Harry Wills bout
 It is highly improbable that the Walk CT boxing law will have become effec- tive by that date, and consequently it will probably be necessary for the fight to be held under the club mem bership plan. This is merely sub- terfuge to avoid the law, and it seems that a club such as the International Sporting club, whose chief aim is to elevate boxing, should not stoop to such a trick this. It would have been far better to wait a few weeks longer.

KING SETS UP NEW
 HITTING RECORD

When Kenneth King connected safely for six hits in six times at bat Wednesday for Worcester against Pitchers Stauffer and Ed Walsh of Bridgeport, he set up a. new record for batting in a single game for the Eastern league.
