ENGLISH BOXER
TAKES DECISION
in SLOW BATTLE

NEW YORK, April ). U.R)-Jack
"Kid" Berg, England's popular little
fighting man, is with us again with
n new title and some supcrfluous
flesh around his midriff. Neither
addition seems to be of much use
to the youngster.
Against Joe Click, the Brooklyn
button hole maker, whom he out
pointed in Madison Square Garden
last night, Berg made a most dis
appointing showing. Jackie was
slow and out of condition, obvious
~ five pounds over his best fight
ing weight. He scaled 1891 for
Click, in the capacity of junior
welterweight champion, it'll e
which is not recognized in New
York state.
The "wise money" was down on
Berg at to l. and once again the
"wise money" bettors nearly stop
ped a fast one with the delicate
portions of their bank rolls. Click,
content to tie up the slow moving
Englishman, prevented Jackie from
cutting loose in his familiar wind
mill style. As a result, and with
Berg down twice in the eighth from
pretty low body punches. it was a
close thing. Jackie's margin was
by no means what one might reas-
onably expect of a l to ) shot.
The decision of the officials at
the end of the 10 rounds was unan-
imous, Berg's aggressiveness, inef-
fectual though ii was, earning him
the call.

DorothyDunton Gives
Missionary Address
Women's Foreign Missionary
Society Sponsors Address of
India Missionary Work

Under the auspices Of the Women's
Foreign Missionary Society, Miss
ncrothy Dunton, a returned mission
'ary from India addressed large
audience at the Methodist church last
Sunday evening. After singing mis-
sionary hymns, the speaker was in
troduced by Rev. C. w. Gilman.
Miss Dunton first told of her wish
to go to India, that the country al
ways had fascination for her. After
years of preparation and training,
she was sent there as missionary.
She told something of the first i'm
pressions of the country upon her,
of the many beggars on the streets,
licensed to beg, just as people are Ii
censed here to drive cars. Many of
the beggars were in pitiable condi-
ton from leprosy which is common
malady there. Living conditions are
most unsanitary and the death rate
is high, especially among children.
One important duty Of the mission
aries is to teach more sanitary ways
of living. In India animals are con-
sidered sacred and of more import
ance than some classes of the people.
The streets are crowded with animals
of all sorts, so that it is often diff
ficult for people to make their way
along the streets and no one is al
lowed to try to drive the animals
away or disturb them in any way.
The speaker stated that one of the
first things a missionary has to learn
is some of these peculiar customs
and beliefs of the people of India, in
order not to antagonize them. The
reason the animals are held sacred
is because the people believe in the
doctrine of transmigration of souls
and they think the souls of some of
their ancestors or friends may be liv-
ing again in the form of animals.
