Bouts to be Staged By
State Say-So Michigan
Lansing. Mich., Aug. 5—Virtually
all boxing bouts, except those stag
ed by fmternal organizations, the
American Legion or established
clubs, have been placed under the
ban in Michigan pending reorganiza
tion of the State Athletic Board of
Control, which. Gov. Groesbcek has
announced, will be the first step
towards “eliminating commercialism
from the sport."
Since the boxing law was passed,
the Governor said, numerous “clubs”
composed of a few individuals, had
conducted most of the fights, where
as the law intended to permit boxing
exhibitions, not as commercial ven
tures, but as a public entertainment.
“Boxing was conducted during the
war without taint of commercialism
and came into favor.” the Governor
said, “but since the war it has been
falling into the same state in which
the war found it. It is now on about
the same plane as horse racing. T
have no objection to boxing, but I
do object to what appears to be a
come-on game.”
SPORTING NOTES
The mayor of Cleveland is going
to have the Boxing Commission of
that city reorganized.
Jim McDonald, manager of George
Robinson, offers to match the latter
against Byron Downey on a winner
take all basis.

Wilson and Downey
May Battle Again
Middleweight champion Johnny
IViison and Bryan Downey, the
Cleveland boxer whose bout in the
atter city has caused such an agita
:ion in the boxing game, will likely
he signed in a few days to battle
cgtiin for the title. It will not be in
Boston or Cleveland, but either in
Jersey City or Harrison X. J.
Marty Killiiea, manager of Wilson,
has been waiting for Tex Kickard's
answer to the terms he wants to
Rght Downey at his Jersey City Are
na on Labor Day. From reports
from New York Kickard has come
to an agreement with Downey, who
is in New York. Yesterday Dave
Driscoll, the Jersey City promoter
who staged the Leonard and Kansas
arid other big battles in that State
arrived in Boston. «
He had several hours' talk with
Manager Killiiea in regard to getting
the match. He offered to give Wil
bon -S• *• i,14H) fiat or 00 per cent, of the
receipts and he pay Downey out of
that Manager Killiiea will wait till
he hears from Kickard before clos
ing with any promoter. Killiiea
realizes that the pair of lighters have
got to be matched in a short time,
else tlie interest that is now in the
bout will begin to wane.
Some of the Boston promoters
ha\e offered Killiiea as high as $85,
000 for the bout, but he figures that
more money can lie secured from
Kickard or Driscoll.

The Augusta team faces another
hard proposition today when it meets
the well-known Biddle and Smart
Co. of Amesbury, Mass. This ag
gregation is headed by Follanbee
who played on Augusta State and
Trolley league teams several years
ago. Older fans will recall him as
a clever fielder and dangerous willow
wielder. The balance of the team is
made up of Ex-New England Leagu
ers and some of the strongest college
players of the East. Lamp this per

to run a ball club and certainly the !
aggregation that represents^the Pap-;

paid. Therefore, the click of the
turnstile must be often to assure the
absence of a deficit.
Augusta’s new battery, Walker

of the victorious Houser machine1
that brought honors galore to old
Iiowdoin last spring.^ Walker has

Building. Friday Afternoon
It was not a case of “when is a door
not n door?” that was the cause of
ttie accident liriday afternoon when
a man started tv walk right through
a. plate class window just inside the
north entrance of the post office
building The window is one of three
panes of glass which stand about
eight feet in height inside of the
nbrth entrance, doors 1o the post of
fice being on both sides of these win
dows. The glass is protected at the
bottom b\ a large wlvte baseboard.
A man named Proad. evidently a
stranger in the eitv. had .iust called
at the general deliver y window for ihs
mail a I’d on receiving it, turned and
walked headlong into the tall pane
of class. He was evidertlv looking
at his mail and not noticing where
he was going. His head struck the
pane of glass with considerable force,
breaking tbe glass, and the man sus
tained injuries' of a cut on the nose
and another cut on tire leg. He im
mediately went to tire office of a local
physician for treatment of his in
juries. The man wore no hat at the
time. Had he had one, P would have
undoubtedly have prevented the ac
cident.

WELL KNOWN SPECIALISTS
AT CLINIC PAY TRIBUTE
TO .MAINE PHYSICIANS
The last day (of the clinic for Maine
physicians, which has been held dur
ing the week at the Central Maine
Panitoriuni, was a busy one, much
being crowded into the closing hours,
rounding out a program which has
been exceedingly helpful to the spec
ialists and to the attending physicians
and nurses. The noted specialists,
who have contributed much to the
success of. the clinic, have been stim
ulated by the presence-of those gen
eral practitioners, vv holt uve so eager
ly sought the knowledge gained hy
the wider experience of the physi
cians in their speed lines of work.
‘They have paid the Maine physicians
! generous tribute tor their interest in
public health shown by their presence
at the clinics.
Friday forenoon the usual clinics
•were conducted by Dr. Edward O.
: Otis and Dr. Samuel Klliott as well
as demonstrations of the administra
tion of arsenphine for venereal dis
eases. given on living subjects, by
Dr. Otto Lowey of New Jersey of the
I nited Public Health Service.
\V. D. Thurber of Augusta, execu
tive secretary of the Maine Public
Health Association, taking for his
theme a motto that he saw hanging
in the doors of one of the public
garages of the citv. “T.ife Is Sweet,
Plow Your Horn." stated that the
public health workers are doing this.
Mr Thurber sneke before the nurses
and likened them to salesmen who
sells her work to the patient and is
successful in proportion to her ahility
to do her work well and to the satis
faction to the patient. Through
sounding the horn the need for pub
lic health work is made known and
also by thesame means, the work be
ing done hv the public health workers
is revealed to the public and they
gladly lend their assistance dnd even
financial co-operation. The finances
for the public health work are almost
wholly raised by the sale of Christmas
’seals, Mr. Thurber said.
Hiss Mary Marshall of New York,
supervising nurse for the Xationa!
Tuberculosis Association also spoke
to the nurses briefly. Another speak
er was Dr. Frederick T. Hill of this
city who ta'ked on ''Relation of
Throat Infection to tleneral Health.”
Dr. Hill urged early attention to
throat and ear troubles and said most
deafness was preventable if proper
steps were taken early enough He
emphasized the impor'anee of the
taking of cultures on all acute throat
condRions nd said that loss of life
sometimes results from failure to do

» Much of the success of the nurses'
section of the clinic is due to Miss'
Kdith I.. Soule, director of nursing
service for the Maine Public Health
Association, who arranged the pro
gram which was highly appreciated
by the nurses.
In speaking of his experience at
the clinic. Dr. Edward O. Otis of
Boston said "I was much impressed
with the high standard of the Maine
medical men who have attended the
clinic. It was, of course, not to be
expected that men who are doing
general practice could be exrert in
any one department of medicine.
If they possess a reasonable amount
of working knowledge in the diagno
sis of the large number of diseases
with which they constantly meet,
they are doing as much or more in
the reasonable and competent care
of their ph*ients as is the specialist
in his limited field.
"What does impress the specialist
as lie meets with these genexui
practitioners is their keen ap
preciation of sucli clinics as were
given at tins conference and
their eagerness to improve their
general knowledge and techni
. que in the examination of the chest
; with particular reference to tuber
culosis. 'flie value of these confer
ences is very gieat. not only for
Whatever knowledge may be impart
ed but to those who attend it is also
of perhaps quite as much value for
the inspiration which is obtained
from them. It is a new heginnini
in the effort to increase one's skill
and knowledge in the diagnosis of
the chest diseases and these confer
ences stand, not only for what is
b-arned of them, but for the putting
into effect of such knowledge as is
gained and for further study along
the lines treated.”
j In closing Dr. Otis said that the
specialist learns quite as much from
such a conference as the general
practitioner, that while lie may know

more on one subject, the general
practitioner has much to teach the
specialist in the knowledge of inter,
nal medicine and there foie the clin
ics are mutually helpful "Surely
from my experiences with those ph>
sicians. who have attended these
conferences, the Maine Medical So
ciety may well be proud of the rank
and file of its members who are do.
ing the real medical work m the
state.”
Ur. Samuel Elliott also expressed
himself as highly satisfied with the
c^nie and its results. He said it wa«
a great opportunity tor the doctors
of the state to see ver\ interesting
and unusual cases reviewed b\ the
latest diagnostic methods, which
are essential for accurate diagnosis
“I was interested to see the enthusn
asm of the practitioner." said L>r
Elliott, "who gave of Ins time out

ftrence. To everyone it is possible
| to learn a great deal through clinic#
and personally I learned puitf a good
dial and enjoyed the meetings \rrv
much.
Approximately 25 public health
nurses from every section of Maine
were in attendance at the clinic (br
ing the greater part of the session.
Miss Edith Soule R N„ Director o'
Nursing Service for the State Depart
ment of Health was in charge of
this phase of the program Some
thing of special interest to nurse#
was arranged for each day.
Dr. T. E. Hardy of this city, presi
dent of tho Maine Medical Society and
chairman of the exeeutix’e committee
of the Maine Public Health Associa
tion. When asked as to t^e success c-f
the clinic said; "I believe this ses
sion has proved again the advantage
of clinics for the physician. The ad
jippscs of th.» specialists have Wit
especially brilliant and beneficial. The
time spent by the attending physician#
In the diagnostic clinics these pas!
five days has been well spent, if any
one is to Judge by the appreciation
that has been extended by the physi
cians present.
"The necessity of continuing clinic* I
of this kind is even greater now tha-1
ever before, because of the i>.n«tutt
development of newer methods of m
portance. It makes it possible for the
busy physician to leave his nrartiee
long enough to visit larger medical
centers to get all that he coukl gel
there in a day rr two and from i-i|ual!'
as able specialists as he would tind m
any place in the country."
