Over Continent
Air Trip in 33
Predicted
Glenn L. Martin Declares
Commercial Service Will
Follow Success of Armv
Test Flight This Month

Glenn L. Martin, inventor of the
Martin bombing plane, intimated yes
terday that various commercial inter
ests are ready to establish the first
transcontinental aerial freight and
passenger service as soon as CAPTAIN
Roy N. Francis, the army flier, COM
pletes his demonstration flight from
New York to San Francisco.
Plans for this epochal project in
transportation, which are purely tenta-
tive now, were discussed by Mr.. Mar
tin In his apartment at the Hotel
Knickerbocker. He expressed conf
dence in the performance of the Mar
tin bomber which Captain Francis will
fly, and predicted the time is near
when passengers will leave New York
at o'clock in the afternoon and ar
rive in San Francisco at o'clock the
following evening.
Those interested in aerial transpor-
tation, Mr.. Martin explained, have fig
ured the cost at about 20 cents mile.
or approximately $500 for the trip to
the Pacific Coast-a distance of 2.75O
miles covered in thirty-three hours.
This rate is figured to permit rea-

Transcontinental flying on COM
mercial basis, Mr.. Martin explained, de-
pends on the complete reliability of the
dispatching and terminal facilities.
He illustrated. the need in this way:
Railroads would be of little use with
out terminals and a complete block
signal system. The war has demon
strated the performance of aircraft, but
it has left undeveloped the means by
which commercial aircraft can be reg
ulated like railroad trains. The air
craft must use the wireless system, and

One Hundred of Them Sign
Call for Meeting of Coun-
ty Medical Society to Dis
cuss Copeland Measure
Call 1t S'Serious Danger
Their Side of Question Com
pletely Ignored by City
Officials, They Declare

Opposition among physicians to
Health Commissioner Copeland's pro-
posed sanitary code amendment, plac-
Ing further restrictions upon drug pre-
scrlptions, crystallized yesterday in a
call for special meeting of the New
York County Medical Association at
the earliest possible date to discuss
the proposal, which, as one put it,
would compel a doctor to finger print
and register every patient for whom he
found it necessary to prescribe drugs"
The call was signed by 100 physicians
Among the signcrs are DR.. Abraham
Jacob, DR.. Robert Able, Dr. Walter B.
James, DR.. w. Gilman Thompson and a
large number of members of the pub
lie health committee Of the Academy of
Medicine. The request states that the
commissioner of health and municipal
authorities have completely ignored
the medical profession. 1t reads:
although the text of this proposed
amendment has never been submitted
to the medical profession, either by the
commissioner of health or by the pub
lie health committee of the County
Medical Society, it's provisions, as gath
cred from the public utterances of the
health commissioner, constitute a radi-
cal and serious extension of the ad-
and executive powers of
the Department of Health over the
treatment of private patients by the
practitioners of this city and over the
hitherto legally protected confidential
relations between them and their pa
tients.
eve regard this proposed amend
ment as a matter Of serious potential
danger, not only in the present, but as
a precedent for the future, and as
not to be allowed to be en-
acted without exhaustive medical con-
sideration. 1t is for the purpose of
preventing innovations of this charac-
ter that compels this call for special
meeting Of the Medical Society of the
County of New York to give voice, and
a hearing, to the medical side of these
questions, which has been completely
ignored by the municipal and health
to the detriment of the
public, of the practising physician and
of the profession of medicine"

Willard Uses
Big Gloves and
Punches Hard
Champion Drops Stanton
and Pummels Pals; Demp-
sey Resumes Hard Work

TOLEDO, June S.-Hundreds of per-
sons' including women and children,
who thronged Jess Willard's training
camp to-day, saw the champion upset
one of his sparring partners and all
but kock out another.
The champion used fourteen-ounce
gloves, instead of the eight-ounce
mltts, so as to permit him. to put more
force into his blows. When the work
out was over the champions partners
were bruised and bleeding. Willard
himself was bleeding from the mouth.
Jack Hempel was punched groggy in
the three rounds he worked. Willard
upset him with a right hook early in
the first session. Walter Monahan re-
celved bloody nose in the two rounds
ne faced the champion, and the third
victim, Soldier" Stanton, lasted only
ten seconds. He was knocked off his
teet from right hand blow behind
the ear
Stanton, who boxed two days at
Jack Dempsey's camp, made two or
three passes at Willard and the cham
plon let fly with right-hander. After
taking the punch, Stanton. staggered
back, then stiffened and would have
tumbled to the canvas if Willard had
not caught him.
Ray O. Archer, business manager
tor the champion, returned to-day from
New York, but was reticent on what
he had done in regard to obtaining
new .sparring partners. He said he
had made tentative arrangements with
two heavyweights, but would not an
nounce their names until they had ac-
cepted the terms
Dempsey resumed his training to-
day, after five-day lay-off, and dis
played unusual dash and speed. He
boxed four rounds, two each with Ser
geant Bill Tate and the Jamaica Kid.
Both connected with Dempsey fire.

Willard charged SO cents admission

continued to collect 25 cents.

A. E. f. Boxers Protest
Against Toledo Battle

EARlS, June 8.-Sixteen members of
the American expeditionary force box
ing and wrestling teams, who are in
training for the inter-Allied games.
have written an open letter protesting
against the proposed Jess Willard
Jack Dempsey fight in Toledo July 4.
The letter says:
"Whilc we were in training for
our last trip over the top we received
wage of only a few francs a month
per man, and we protest against the
proposed fight for which each of the
principals will receive thousands of
dollars"
1t adds that Tex Rckard offered
$1,000 each to soldier boxers to fight
in the preliminaries to the Willard
Dempsey bout, but that the soldier
boxers preferred to remain in France
and have the honor of representing
their country in the inter-Alied games
against the fighting men of the Allied
armies.

Americas greatest golf test starts
to-day at Brae Burn.
"Who will win7" is a query that has
been propounded so often that it has
now grown worn and warped.
Who can tell-from a field composed
Of such men as Ouimet, Evans, Travers,
Hutchinson, Barnes, Hagen, Mcnamara,
Brady, Teller and $50 more from the
best in the land?
If we were ordered by court to pick
one winner in advance, the guess would
be Francis Ouimet.
Why? Merely because he is a great
golfer with every club, because he has
q rare temperament for medal or match
play and because he knows the course
and plays it we'll.
In a field of this sort one or two mis-
takes may spell disaster. But there is
general feeling that a score of 3O4-
an average of 76 to the round-will
Win. Ouiiice mas as SOVu d CHdnCe as
any other to reach this mark. He is
facing a tough field-one of the best
that ever paraded to the kickoff tee.
But unless the four-year lapse from
tournament play has left him trifle
out of focus he will be the hardest sim
gle individual to beat off.
Extending or expanding the guess,
the winner is almost sure to come from
this select array-Ouimet, Brady.
Evans, Barnes, Hutchinson, Hagen and
Mcnamara. Here are only seven men
against $50. But they are better than
an even bet against the field
1t must be remembered that other
golfers have been coming forward in
the last three years and that there is
stronger outside talent to figure in an
upset. But after all there is something
about an open championship that gives
the dark horse" rough track to trav-
el over, and so very few ever arrive.
