MIKE MAIZE CLIMBS
UP LADDER OF FAME
Proves Himself Master of Young
Cogan Of Elizabeth in Six Rounds
at the Permo Last NIGHT.
OUTPO|NTSTHEW WAITER

Mike Maize, champion boxer in
his class of Staten Island and Young
Johnny Carroll, a former local boy.
were winning fayorites in two six
round bouts that went to make last
nights show of the Permo A. A one
of the best and most entertaining of
its kind ever exhibited in this city.
Teddy Hubs and MaWey Halves also
put up a brilliant six round so in
which honors were about even.
For six rounds Mike Maize pound
ed Young Cogan, of Elizabeth, to
such an extent as to gain a decisive
victory. The clever Staten Islander
showed marked improvement and
showed to better advantage than ever
before. He appeared in the pink of
condition, was strong and why.
Cogan stuck gamely to the finish,
taking a volume Of punishment and
unable to give much in return. The
start was excellent with honors
about even. Towards the last of
the first round Maize began to shine
and he remained noticeably on top
throughout. In the second round
he sent the claret running from Co
gan's mouth and by the finishing
gong he had his man almost bat
tered to a finish.
Throughout the six rounds Cogan
was powerless against the clever
work Of Maize. The Staten Island
boy often landed blows ''one, two"
fashion that sent his opponent reel
ing about the ring. Not a single
round belonged to Cogan, but he was
admired for his pluck.
Maxey Halves, of Brooklyn, a well
trained and thoroughly experienced
boxer, and Teddy Hubbs, of Pitts
burgh, made things hum in the sec
ond six round affair of the evening.
While some maintained HAYES shad-
ed Hubbs toward the end OF the bout
many others were doubtful and held
the going at even. Both boys were
clever and fought hard throughout.
Hubbs, is q clean cut young boxer
who won admiration at a recent Per-
mo stag. He appeared as a favorite
with last nights audience and was
rOundly applauded. Halves with his
years OF experience and training did
some rushing that told on young
Hubbs. The latter used his clever
ness so much admired to good ad-
vantage and caused the Brooklyn
lite to swing wildly at times. Hubbs
kept cool, despite the many fierce
rushes of his opponent and sent
punches to the face that had the
desired effect. The going was very
even throughout four rounds. HAYES
made a spectacular finish of the fifth
round and caused Hubs to go some.
The sixth round continued in the
same way.

evening was between Young Johnny
Carroll. Of Union Hill, and Joe
Honan. The Fighting Waiter" of
this city. Carroll o%utpointed and
outfought Honan in the first five
rounds but in the sixth the waiter
scored. Although Honan dropped
Carroll with a swing in the sixth the
Union Hill lad got up and managed
to hang on until the final gong. De-
spite this, Carroll vas the winner of
the bout by a large majority. Until
the fifth round Honan did no fight
ing at all and received severe pun
ishment from Carroll who bruised
up his face badly. Carroll, who was
formerly q resident of this city,
showed great speed last night and in.
the first round landed a beaut on
Honan's most which brought the
claret. He handed the waiter left
jabs, right hooks and uppercuts
through the following four rounds
and if there had not been such a
great difference in weight would
have undoubtedly sent Honan to
dreamland. Carroll stripped last
night at 12S and the waiter weighed
not a pound under 1876. The weight
told OF the Union Hill lad as the
sixth round indicated. Carroll was
hailed as the victor and cheered by
the crowd at the conclusion of one
Of the best bouts ever witnessed at.

seemed to have taken his nerve.
1t was CAROLS first appearance
before the members Of the Permo
and his showing was so pleasing that
the management will put him on
again shortly with some fast boy.
He was greatly outweighed last
night but nevertheless gave a fine ac-
count Of himself. There was no
criticism of the difference In weight
as the boys had agreed to meet at
catChWeights.
The opening number Of the show
was between Al. Minkler, Of this
city, and Young Russell, of Staten
Island. Minkler was strong as ever
and vanquished his man during the
first round.
Young Nichols, of Staten Island,
put away Young Reyes, of Brook
Ign, in the second round Of a sched-
uled four round contest. Keyes pre-
ferred the floor to facing his oppon-
ent again.
Another improvement at the show
last night was an electric gong in
stead of the old bell which used to
get out of order continually and had
to be sounded with q hammer. The
next show will be on Monday even

S NOT
FOR A LEAGUE
Manager Martin Writes Let
ter Hitting Junior Idea.

There is some doubt about the
success of the proposed junior base
ball league. as Ellis Martin, mana
ger of the Ashlands, is strongly
opposed to the plan. lie takes ex-
ception to a statement published
in these columns last night, that the
team will join the organization. It
can be said, in passing, that the
NEWS information was received
from the promoter of the league.
Mr.. Martins letter follows:

A Sensible Plan

In recent issue of the Outlook, the
contributing editor of that magazine,
Ex-P President Roosevelt, expressed his
views on the womans rights question
and presented most sensible idea in
connection with female suffrage. He
said :
81 believe in woman's rights. | be-
lieve even more earnestly in the per-
Torrance of duty by both men aud
women; for unless the average man
and the average woman live lives Of
duty, not only our democracy but civil
ization itself will perish. l heartily be.
believe in equality of rights as between
man and woman, but also in full and
emphatic recognition of the fact that
normally there cannot be identity of
function. Indeed, there must normally
be complete dissimilarity of function
between them, and the effort to ignore
this patent fact is silly. believe in
woman's suffrage wherever women want
it. Where they do want it, the suffrage
should not be forced upon them. |
think that it would be we'll to let the
women themselves, and only the women,
vote at some special election as TO
whether they do or do not wish the vote
as a permanent possession. In other
words, this is peculiarly a case for the
referendum to those most directly affect
ed--that is, the women themselves"
There exists a wide difference of opin-
ion on the part of the present electorate,
the male voters, regarding the wisdom,
propriety or ACCESSIBILITY of granting
the suffrage to women.
But the Standard believes that the
great body Of reasonable and thinking
men, while generally Indifferent over
the matter, would, if their collective OPP
inion were given expression, be found
in accord on the proposition that the
voting right and duty should not be ex
tended to women unit a substantial
majority of the women of given state
or the country as whole, were on re.
cord as favoring the same.
The plan proposed by Mr.. Roosevelt
would provide means by which the SEN
timent of the women themselves upon
this question could be ascertained, and
while the experience of the past convey:
no promise that in all cases sutficien
percentage to make the matter decisive
would vote, it might reasonably be ex
pected that it would in measure elm
mate the present day incessant badger
ing of state legislatures by the militan
advocates of woman suffrage -Enos

The Measure of La Toilette

A speach read from manuscript near
ly two hours long, delivered at banquet
between 1920 p. In. and l.?0 a. m, with
more speakers to come, is trying to the
nerves, and the wonder is that Senator
La Toilette should have inflicted himself
in this style, Friday night, upon the
magazine publishers association in
Philadelphia. Before he had half finish
ed he had lost half his audience, and
bali of the half left was half dead from
fatigue when the end came. The severe
attack by the Wisconsin senator on
newspapers was so obviously designed
to help the low-priced magazines that
every daily journalist present left the
banquet hall in rage. The magazine
publishers and editors are said to have
been ashamed. As debut in Phil
adelphia, the senator's appearance was a
failure, to be accounted for perhaps, by
his lack of humor, which in turn is
much the same as taking ones self too
seriously from IL to 2 o'clock in the
morning.-Springfeld Republican.

Curinq tuberculosis

The most interesting feature OF the
recent annual report OF the Vermont
Sanatorium in Pttsford is the state
ment concerning discharged patients.
In the past three years $50 people have
left the institution. The whereabouts
of IS are unknown, but reports from
the other 2l2 show that 81, or 45.7 per
cent are well and earning a living,
while 40, or 1873 per cent are living,
but still taking treatment. Accepting
the figures of social economists as to
the average prospects OF life. the beneft
to the state through restored earning
capacity of these patients, would more
than equal the cost Of construction and
maintenance of the institution for four
years. In other words, the sanatorium
treatment of tuberculosis ia not only
successful from the humanitarian point
Of view, but produces actual practical
results. The figures of the medical re-
port would indicate moreover, that
these results would he even better il
more of the cases applying for treatment
were in the earlier stages Of the disease
Of the % patients admitted this year
only % or little more than % per cent
were incipient cases.
During the past year 1919 patient;
we're treated at PIttsford. The average
stay of each patient was 20.l weeks
The results of treatment were very
much better in the cases of patients
who stayed more than three months
than in those who stayed less than that
time.

hoard cover, evidently made especially
for the purpose. Il came from Har ris-
ou's nurseries, R-rlin, Md, aud the
sender paid eight cents postage on the
package. Along with the apple came a
nice assortment Of printed matter tell
ing what fine place Berlin is, what
opportunities there are there for all
kinds of farming, aud especially for fruit
growing. Of'course the object in send
ing the apple was Co get some free ad-
vertising. We don't often fall for these
clever lodges, but We are going to this
time aud print the cleverly written story
that accompanied the apple. We do
this because we are interested in apple
growing aud we want our readers to
know how actively these people down in
Maryland are going out after business.
We know that the West has been
making fortunes out of the apple because
it has learned aud practiced modern
business methods. Now We fluid that
the South is getting after the same kind
of return in the same kind of way.
We all know that we have, right here
in Vermont, all the conditions to make
apple growing handsomely profitable.
We not only have the conditions but we
have had the actual proof OF them in
the successful demonstration of several
ehterprising orchardists. What We
haven't done yet is to wake up to the
fact that the apple business in Vermont
should lie a united business, just as it
has been made in the West aud is being
made in the South. Vermont should be
as famous for its apples as it is now for
its maple sugar 1t will be when the
apple growers get together to improve
their output and to market it as it
should be marketed.
Good apples are appreciated the world
over. This apple that came from Mary.
land was good apple, sound, firm and
iuicy-much better in fact than the
average Oregon apple. The nursery
firm that sends it out is evidently spend
ing a good deal of money to bring it tC
the attention Of the world. And it viii
succeed. The advertising of this one
concern will do lot TO make the Mary
land apple known and appreciated wher'
il was never known before.
The same plan would do the same
, thing for the Vermont apple. A gooC
apple advertises itself. The first thinI
, to do is to grow the good apple. Yer
mont can do it, that we know. Thu
next thing is to send it out in an attract
i've form and let it be known loudly anC
emphatically that it is Vermont apple
+ When these tactics are adopted, whereve
= Vermont apples go they will make
2 market for further supply. The Berlir
. nursery people appreciate this fact anC
that is the reason why they shrewdl
t accompany their honeyed words with

New England. aud the whole country
for that matter, would help to boycott
one of the meanest Of the frauds by
which Vermont farmers are vietimized'
Another fraud in this same business
for whose rascality Vermont farmers
must pay dearly, is the miserable sneak
among their own fraternity who adul-
terates his maple sugar and sends 1t out
as the pure article.
It is just and fitting that relentless
campaign be at all times waged against
the outsider that manufactures vile
connection and passes it off on the mar
ket as pure maple sugar, but the worst
punishment fits the crime OF the man
that lives in Vermont and sells what
purports to be the pure home product
under false label aud guarantee. All
home farmers should he his prosecutors.
