 Battalino was the first to reach him. He and the seconds carried the unconscious challenger to lis corner and there they started 10 work on him. Smelling salts made no impression on Fernandez hl- though the bottle was held at his nose. After about four minutes. he came 10 dazed and sick. He WIS made ready for his departure from the ring and still dizzy and in a fog. he slithered down the steps and out of the ring.
 The crowd was bowling all the time. Where Battalino has been cheered with a resounding echo ,n his previous appearances, derision was aimed at him last night. The bout was a sorry championship a'- fair because the challenger was ab- solutely no match for the title holder.
 Fernandez and his handlers sal that the Filipino's poor attempt at fighting was due to his weak condi- tion from making the featherWeight poundage limit. They claim that ni, Monday, he was forced to spe1 Id more than an hour in turkish ba.h to steam of the flesh. Fernandez declared after the fight that ne would never fight again as d feather weight.
 Denials that the bout was fake were made by State Athletic Con- missioner Thomas E. Donohue, Pro- moter Edward F. Hurley and mem bers Of Battalinos staff Commis- sioner Donohue declared that it WIS a fast clean fight and said no purses would be held up. He blamed Fer nandez' trouble in making the weight for his poor showing.

A great deal of this can be at can't seem to win a fight away from Hartford. shopd he be able to take on opponents 1n foreign rings and win from them, this feeling might be dispersed.
 Figuring from bit of logic on this fight last night, it is difficult to arrive at any sensible reason why Fernandez would take a dive. His ring earnings have been made pos sible through the fact, in great measure. that he had never before been knocked out. He was rated as the toughest specimen in the feath erweight class and was able to take & terrific facing.
 Any hope of making even a fair ly good showing in the feather weight ranks after last night went glimmering as the Filipino was counted out. He cant hope to meet any others in the class because he will be termed as a poor fourth later.
 Fighters who agree to take a dive" are generally rewarded with a magnificent sum. Who paid Fer nandez to take the dive" last night? We don't believe it was Battalino: he is far from being wealthy. We don't believe it was the promoters. Things haven't been any too rosy for them.
 With probably thousands of dol lars awaiting him if he could have won the title last night and with plenty of ring work in prospect if he could have made as good showing as he did in the first fight with Bat talino, we can't argue ourselves into thinking that Fernandez would con- sent to go out like he did last night.
 Making weight saps the strength like nothing else does. Fernandez didn't need to be hit by punch like Jack Dempsey could throw in his' prime. Two blows in the stomach ended the fight. They were struck in the first round.

 tions Among All Types . of Humans Would En- . list Anonymous Advis- : CTS.

; A unanimous invitation 10 Rev William H. Alderson to return 10 Trinity Methodist church for anoth- CT year was extended at the annual meeting of the congregation last evening. Roy. Dr. W. D. Beach, dis trict superintendent who presided. was instructed 10 convey 10 Bishop Herbert Nelch ot inc Pittsburgh area the wishes Of the congregation 10 have the minister remain here.
 In his outline Of plans for inc coming year, Rev. Mr. Alderson an nounced the proposed establishment of life adjustment center a rad ical departure in churches in this vicinity. He plans 10 have the ad- visory assistance Of q physician, q nurse, an educator, q psychatrist, a banker, business man, a social worker and an employer.
 Ministers Report
 After thanking the members of his staff, and calling attention to the fact that the Mems club is raising S5,000 towards paying off an old church debt, Rev. Mr. Alderson sub mitted the following report;
 Except for intervals when union gatherings are held, our church has maintained its preaching serv- ices each Sunday through the year. We have endeavored to make the morning service strictly worshipful in character with messages that sought to interpret the mind of Christ for the needs of today. Two

a new sense of obligation to the church on everyone's part. Thus runs the entire gamut of church re- lationship. Parents faithfully bring ing or sending their children to the Sunday and week day schools of re- ligious education; members of the church, running all the way from the last training class admitted into membership, on up to officers and teachers of the church school and officials of the board all of whom shall assume a new obligation to attend one of the services of wor- ship every Sunday, and as often as possible a service in the middle of the week. Church attendance must become with us a high privilege which no passing engagement or slight inconvenience shall interrupt. Home conditions do not prevent us from getting out to work. These same conditions must not prevent us

has more than yindicated itself both in interest and income. World serv- ice has received more attention from the pupit than in any year of the present pastorate. What is said lsn't always labeled with a misson- ary tGS which I sometimes think may account for any effectiveness it possesses.
 Cause of Unity Advances
 "Thc cause of unity has continued 10 advance through two series of union services which have now be- come an accepted part of our church life. For two months in the sum- mcr and during lent and passion week d number of the churches unite in worship. These services grow in attendance and spirit each year. The Icnton program is arranged again and opens this coming Sunday eve ming in our church. One of the most effective services of the past year vas held for OUT own people the Thursday evening preceding passion week. The scenes and con- Scrsation of the Upper Room were rcCnactcd, no word was spoken eX- ccpt the scriptural passages which John records. The sacrament was administered and without announce mcnt a hymn was sung. There was no bcnodiction and no conyersa- ton when the service concluded. Spiritual effects cannot be written down. Satisfactorily inclined observa- tions recorded the largest midweek attendance in five years.
 At the present time in the mid week service we arc following a loi3urcly. somewhat critical, but in spirational study of Jesus ministry.

 Deeper Spiritual Spirit Needed
 These suggestions I offer:
 "'rhe thing every church needs, and we are arch offenders in this respect, is new and deeper spiritual life. There is great danger of 1t all becoming routine to us. There wasn't any routine about the experience of those first Christians. In an effort to recapture for this church that early enthusiasm we shall begin on Sunday morning messages dealing directly with Pcntecost. This isn't by way of a. celebration but is the beginning of a new and ever con- tinuing chapter of spiritual adyen- turing in the life of this church. As long as I remain pastor here I shall not rest until a general awakening comes which will be recognizable by

The busy life we live should long since have ceased to be valid ex cuse for offering the church of Jesus Christ the ragtag leftovers of our time and energy. A certain an cient story recounts the tragic com parison between two brothers one of whom offered God the first fruits of his work while the other offered the nubbins and the seconds. What a recurrence of tragedy there is when we attempt the same thing today. The kingdom of God will never, never be built by men and women working at it's construction only when they have no other engage ment.

 600 Visits to Sick and SorroWful
 One ot the most cNactinS and difficult parts of one S .ministry con- sists of the contacts with those who are sick or passing through sorrow. Faithfully whenever we have known of trouble of any kind we have en- dcayored through our calling 10 bring the presence of Him who raid I will not leave you desolatc.' One unacquaintcd with the demands in q parish this size would never realize how much of this type of ministry must be given. 1t cannot be hurried. It must not become professional, A large proportion of moro than coo visits has been in this type of work. Nearly two score funerals have been conducted. Not all of these were members of our church however. There seems to have been an Un- usual amount of sickness which has always received our careful attcn- ton. when we have been aware of the conditions. l can recall at least ono period when we had 15 patients in the hospital at inc same time. The faithfulness of Miss Eva Barnes is very effective in this type of min istrE.
