BOSTON. May 31.-A white
haired priest was credited today
with saving the life of an 18-year-
old youth who teetered precari-
ously on a ninth-story hotel ledge
for 90 minutes yesterday, appar-
emily bent on suicide.
The youth was identified as Al
bert Thomas, an Army private
absent without leave from Fort
Dix, N. j., for two weeks.
His rescuer was the Rev. Joseph
P. Curran of st. Stephens Catho-
lie Church, who was attracted to
the scene by throng gathered in
front of the Hotel Touraine.
Father Curran, conversing with
Pvt. Thomas through the window
by which the youth gained access
to the ledge, finally persuaded
him to leave his 18-inch-wide
perch after unsuccessful attempts
by several others, including a
pretty girl recruited for that pur-
pose.
Twice before that Pvt. Thomas
apparently abandoned his inten-
Ition to Jump and re-entered the
hotel window. But on both occa-
sions he returned to the ledge

the bishopric Of Nueva Segovia. in
the Philippine Islands, where the
church was challenged by a diffi-
cult schism growing out Of the
revolt against Spain.
In five years time the bishop
had reclaimed the allegiance Of
Catholics to Rome and had re-
stored the church property from
Ia state of near-ruin. President
Theodore Roosevelt commended
him for helping to reconcile Fill
Ipinos to American rule.
Wiped Out Big Debt.
The Vatican transferred him, in
I1915, to the Buffalo. N. Y, diocese
where, in three years, he wiped out
a debt of 81 million on the Buffalo
Cathedral and put all finances on
Ia so'.nd footing despite World War
outlays.
Pope Benedict rewarded his eff
forts by assigning him to succeed
Archbishop Prendergast of Phila-
delphia, following the latter's
death on February 26, 1918. He
thus became metropolitan OF
Pennsylvania.
His mother. Bridget Henry
|Dougherty, who came to America
from Mayo, Ireland, with his
father. Patrick, lived to see their
fourth child, born on August 16,
1865, receive this great honor
She died, however. a year before
his elevation to the cardinalate on
March Z, 1921. The father had
died previously.
During the influenza epidemic
jof 1918 the rising churchman
threw open the doors of Catholic
institutions for care of the af-
flicted. assigned nuns to tend the
sick and dying. and organized stu
dent volunteers.
Assigned Priests Overseas.
Meanwhile he had assigned
priests to overseas camps. given
free use of Catholic hospitals to
the War Department and con-
ducted highly successful Liberty
and Victory loan campaigns In
the 386 parishes then under his
guidance.
In 1884 he led a campaign
against what he described as i'm
moral motion pictures. He for
bade Catholics in his jurisdiction
to attend movies until the moral
tone had been improved. Two
years later he acknowledged an
improvement but did not lift the
ban.
Late in 1886 Pope Plus called
the prelate, then II. to Vatican
City and made him "legate a
latere" to the 33d International
Eucharistic Congress in Manila
in February, 1887. Carrying the
full power of legate he received
enthusiastic welcomes at every
port touched on the voyage to
Manila. There thousands Of Fill
pinos cheered his arrival and hun
dreds of thousands worshipped on

usual this morning, the chancery
office reported he had returned
to his bedroom where death came
unexpectedly.
His death reduced to 81 the
membership of the Sacred College
of Cardinals, highest body of the
Roman Catholic Church. Cardinal
Dougherty was the 10Th cardinal
to die since the Sacred College was
brought to its, fun strength of 10
by the consistory of February,
1916.
Reports emanating from Rome
recently have indicated that Pope
Plus XII planned to call another
sacred consistory probably this
year to create new cardinals.
Progressing from a Pennsyl-
vania mining town to member
ship in the College of Cardinals,
the universal council OF the Ro-
man Catholic Church, His Emil
nence, Dennis Joseph Dougherty,
became one of the outstanding
figures in the American hierarchy.
Precocious as a young scholar,
he continued, all through his &C.
clesiastical career. an unusual sue
cession of accomplishments.
He was the first American bish-
op in the Philippines, the first
Pennsylvania to head the dio-
cese of Philadelphia and the fifth
American to receive the red hat as
cardinal. Then, in 1886, he be-
came the first American to be
assigned as personal representa-
tive of the Pope.
Backed only by a public school
education in his native Ashland,
Pa, at IA he passed the rigid en-
trance examinations to st. Charles
Borromeo Seminary at Overlook,
Philadelphia. But he was not old
enough to be admitted to that
institution, so he studied for two
years at st. Mary's College, Mon
treal, Canada, before he enrolled
at Overlook.
Was Sent to Rome.
In 1885, Archbishop Ryan of
Philadelphia rewarded the young
man for consistent leadership of
his class by sending him to the
American College at Rome. There
he won the degree of doctor of
divinity and. on May 81, 1890
was ordained by Cardinal Paroc-

ARCADIA. Calf, Feb. 16.-The
secret is out after II years
Kayak II really could have beaten
his stablemate, the immortal Sea-
biscuit, in the 1850 Santa Anita
Handicap.
That argument has ranged
through the years without a clear
cut decision. The late Charles S.
Howard, who owned both stars,
always said Seabiscuit won the
1910 handicap on his merits. That
1910 victory made Seabiscuit the
money winning champion of his
time.
Now comes Silent Tom Smith,
who was Howard's trainer, to un-
cover a well-kept secret.
Sure, Kayak could have won
that day." Smith told Bob Herbert,
turf writer of the Los Angeles
Mirror. Know why? The Biscuit
was bulldogging the pacemakers
all the way. running them into
the ground. He really set up the
race for Kayak H."
Smith rated Seabiscuit the gam
est he ever saw, and he says the
horse never lived that could beat

Heavyweight Lee Again Shows
Best Punch in Golden Gloves

Heavyweight Norvel Lee, a How
ard University student represent
ing Southwest Police Boys Club,
for the second straight year can
be rated as the best puncher to
come out of the District Golden
Gloves boxing tournament. He
closed this years championship
round by stopping Eddie LaCovey
of the CYO in the second round
of their windup scrap before $500
last night at Uline Arena.
Lee, holder of the National
AAU heavyweight title and winner
of the United States Pan-Ameri-
can trials. is no wild and reckless
swinger. He's a stalker who
doesn't waste a punch. A short
and hard left to the chin put
LaCovey down for a nine count,
and shortly after a right to the
middle draped LaCovey over the
ropes as the first round ended.
LaCovey couldn't come out for the
second round.
The trophy for the outstanding
senior boxer went to Welterweight
Willie Davis of the National
Guard, who defeated Ward Sulli-
van of Merrick Boys Club last
night. The National Guard fight
er was last years lightweight
champion, and in winning the
147-pound title last night became
the first boxer in District Golden
Gloves history to take titles in
two divisions in successive years.
Best brawls among the senior:
we're the featherweight and light
