Should Goddard go out to Sharkey it is
almost certain that Choynski would re-

The promoters of the Green-Zeigler fl ht
last night selected Joe Choynski to referee
the battle. When Green met Zeigler
befare in this city under the auspices OF
the Olympic Club Choynski was one of
the men in zeigler's corner. Subse-
quently Green and Choynski became
friendly. Last night neither of the con.
testanls objected to Choynski, and the
public is assured that it will get square
deal.
The fight of next Wednesday evening
will be the prelim nary go between
"Scaldy" Bill Quinn and Frank Purcell.
"Sca dy" Bill Quinn in condition is no
slouch and after Wednesday the public
will want TO see more OF hini.
There was another meeting last night
between the Lavigne anu o. Rourke forces
concerning second contest in this city
between Lavigne and Walcott. As in the
first battle The trouble in making the
match is the question OF weights Lavigne
insists that Walcott shall weigh in at the
ringside at 137 pounds and O'Rourke de-
mands that 1T be l40.
ORourke, knowing the attraction that
such meeting would be, will give away
the weight if Lavigne is obdurate and
Lav:gne, for the So me reason, If O. Rourke
holds OUT, will do the very same thing.
The match is as good as made.

Claim That the Sufferers Are
Not Receiving Sufficient
Nourishment.
A Lack of Cotton and Lint for an
0peration-Less Milk and
Fewer Eggs.

There is a general wall going up from
the employees and officers OF the City and
County Hospital, regarding the lack OF
necessities for carrying on that institu.
tion. The doctors claim that there is
struments and other necessary articles for
the operations.
Several evenings ago, when two very
serious operations were to be perfor med,
the doctors found that there was a lack of
cotton and lint in which to wrap the pa
tients, and the nurses ana attendants
were obliged to go from ward to ward col
lecting all they could. Consequently that
night the hospital was left without any
cotton, and had similar case come in
that evening there would not have been
the necessaries for the operation.
The resident physicians at the hospital
are obliged TO wear uniforms, and when
an emergency case comes in, no aprons
being supplied for them, they are lost
likely 20 have their suits ruined. This
was the case with one of the doctors a
few evenings ago, who. while attending a
patient. had oil spilled over his uniform.
The milk supply has been cut down two
gallons in each ward and the amount of
whisky for the patients has been limited
This stimulant being one of the chief
medicines in cases such as pneumonia
etc., this RED Guction has not only caused
great deal OF comment from the physi-
clans, but also great deal of incon-
venience.
In the case Of Nurse Hawkins, stricken
with typhus, the hospital would not sup
ply him with the proper stimulant, and
consequently the attending doctors were
obliged to furnish it at their own expense.
The amount of eggs to be used has also
been greatly reduced, and where two
were formerly allowed now only one can
be had.
The DOCTORS nurses and other employees
are very much incensed at the manner in
which things are being conducted. The
cause of all the trouble is said to be the
small appro priation made by the Board of
Supervisors ior the hospital. The amount
allowed the institution last year was con-
sidered very small, but this year, since
the Supervisors have still further reduced
the allowance. the management claims
that it Is almost impossible to conduct the
place. Those in charge say there are not
half enough instruments for operating g
purposes. and this need is considered by
the doctors one of the most urgent and
important.
