FIRST NATIONAL
 MEDICAL MEET IS
 HELD IN SHANGHAI

Shanghai March 30.--Great interest has been created by the recent meet ing here of the National Medical As sociation. It is the first time that such a conference of western trained doc tors has ever been held in China and taken in conjunction with the founda- ton of the National Hospital in Pe- king, which will train Chinese medi- cal students in western medical learn ing, the conference is declared to be fraught with the greatest possibilities for good One or two foreign doc- tors gave addresses by invitation, mo- tably, pr.

 The question of finding Chinese equivalents for English medical terms occupied an important place in the discussion. These simply have to be invented. Some of the speakers had been trained in Japan and advocated the adoption of already existing Ja- -panese terms, as being more easily assini1ated by Chinese than English words. But the majority were in fa- vor of Chinese

1 fists, but Johnson finalIy-I triunphed over the big man. Johnson received | about $9,00O for this victory, the big
 gest sum ever earned by a fighter up
 to that time.
 In 1791 Johnson was overthrown ! in a battle which lasted only twenty 1 one minutes, and Ben Brain became champion. He died soon afterward,
 and the pugilistic throne was left va cant, but with several promising as l pirants in Richard Humphries, John l Jackson and Daniel Mendoza. The
 latter was the first Jewish champion,
 and the cleverest and most scientific
 boxer the ring had ever seen. Men doza was defeated by Hunphries in Hl788, but bested his rival in two sub sequent combats.
 i In 1795 Mendoza and Gentleman 1 Jackson, two of the best men who
 ever stripped to contend for the title; fought it out. Jackson won in ten minutes Jackson retired ISpt long af- , ter winning the championship.
 Jem BeIcher, 'tthe Napoleon of the
 Ring,'' was next in line. He was only nineteen when he whipped Andrew
 Gamble, the Irish champion. At l twenty-one he was a full-fledged champion, but he lost an eye by ac cident and had to retire. Henry Pearce, ''the Game Chicken" and John Gully were the next champions. and in 1908 Tom Cribb forged to the front.
 Tom Molineaux, an American negro, was the first champion developed on this side of the Atlantic. After beat ing all corners on this side, he went to England in 1909 and challenged Cribb. Molineaux won his first bat tie with, the Englishman, but was rob- bed of the victory, and in a rer4rn engagement the black was defeated.
 Ireland came to the front pugiIis- ttcaIly in 1874, when the immortal Dan Donnelly whipped George Coop CT II: t%enty-two minutes at C'lrrag In his prime Dan was unbeatable. and was the champion of the world. Tn. 1SI9 he defeated George Cooper, and his Irish hackers won half 1nilHon dollars.
 It was just a hundred years ago, in 1916, that the first championship ring battle in America was staged, Jacob flyer beating Tom Beasley. Af- ter the passing of Donnelly Tom Spring held the championship. He was succeeded by Jem Ward, who in turn gave way to Deaf BurkeA The latter whipped Simon Byrne, the Irish champion, and then came to America, and was matched with Sam O'Rourke, who claimed to be Byrne's successor. They fought in New Or leans, but when Burke showed him self the best man the toughs broke up the ring and chased the Deaf 'Un out of town.
 In 1841 Tom Hyer became cham pion of America by whipping Coun- try McCloskey in 101 rounds at Gala wells Landing, N. Y., and later de- fended his title against Yankee Sul- livan Bendigo, Nick Ward and Ben Caunt held the English title at this

 period, and in 1850 Bill Perry, the 'eTipton Slasher," annexed the honor. Perry had been defeated by tYan- kee'' Freeman, an American giant six feet and ten inches in height, who visited England in 1S42, but died soon after his victory over the Slasher.
 John Morrissey and John c. Heen- an contended for the American title in the Sos, while in England the honors passed to Tom Savers, a middleweight. A match was made between Savers and Heenan,' who. was giant in sta ture, and they fought in England in 1880. This was the greatest interna- tional battle ever staged, yet the men fought for only a thousand dollars a ment and both men claimed the vLc- tory.
 After that Jem Mace, a little gypsy gained the English title, and defeated the best men on both sides of the At Iantic. Tom Allen claimed the Amer ican title. although he was an Eng hshman, but he was whipped by Mace at Kennerville, La, in 1870 Mace won $10,OOO, besides many bets. Ar ter the passing sof Mace England had no heavyweight champion worthy of the name. Joe Goss took the Ameri- can title from Tom Allen, but lost it to Paddy Ryan in 1880. Two years later John L. Sullivan defeated RynEs and defended his title against Jake Kilrain and others, but lost to Jim Corbett in 1892. Sullivan's fiEhu was the last bare l<nuckle champion ship fight.

and all the citizens may realize that

The Baby week idea, according TO
the children's bureau, originated In
Chicago about two years ago. Then
New York had Baby week, and
also Pittsburgh and other cities.
Such practical benefit has In each
case resulted that the General Fedora.
ton OF Women's Clubs has un-

taken up the plan and In various ways

Causes of Infant Deaths.
The children's bureau believes
that Baby week will give more par
ents chance to learn the accepted
principles of infant care, and will
awaken every American to his re-
sponsibility for the death of the
100000 babies who, according to the
census estimates, iie every year be-
fore they are twelve months old.
