The Nurses Association
Annual Meeting of State Organ
zatiOn in Florence

The meeting OF the South Carolina
Nurses Association in Florence show
ed the value Of organization, as this
body Of women is working always fol

sion, IN advocating the preliminary
education OF nurses and making THEN
course of instruction Of higher value
year by year and equalizing the stand
ard for the registered nurse
The public is slowly getting to un-
derStand the different grades o!
nurse. The woman who has not stood
her examination before the State

have been so recognized by the State.

passed by this body at the State
meeting. The secretary is Miss An
tonia Gibson of Sumter and she is do
ing most valuable work:

lima affiliated with the American

ance of a standard curriculum which
has been prepared by the American
League Of Nursing Education.
Be it resolved, That during the
coming year no efforts will be spared
to bring about the uniformity which
is the great need Of the schools within
the State.
Be it resolved that within the year
new bill for presentation to the leg
islature will be prepared by COM
mittee from this association. This bili
to cover all the requirements for
schools as laid down IN the revision

Finnish Runner Determined on Returning-B. Fl. $. Track

flames Kohlemainen, who was the big star at the last Olympic games staged at Stockholm. announced to- day that he is set on attempting to comeback. Encouraged by the sight of men like Ted Meredith, Dave Cald- well and Homer Baker, the Finn has decided to make another try. Here after he will endeavor to take enough time from the task of shipbuilding to make an earnest effort to fit himself for competition on the cinder path again.
 The Finn has been working at Hog Island, near Philadelphia, for more than a. wear. but business has brought him into the metropolitan district for the past few days. While in New York hz informed the, writers there that he had made up his mind to re turn to the cinderpath-the brightest piece of news furnished track fans in many days.
 During the past year or so Koly has taken little part in any outdoor sports. In fact, he has been pre- vented from running or even exerc1s- ing because of the tremendous amount of work allotted him at the shipyard. Now that the war rush is at an end the Finn feels that he can find plenty of time in which to train himself down to his own form.
 The Bridgeport High School tracK team will open it's outdoor track sea son late this week, according to an nouncemeRt made today. The B. H. s. boys are confident that this sea- son will have a first class mbina- ton. The incoming class has furnish ed the schedule with much splendid talent from which Coach Hunt will select number of the members of the Varsity team.
 The national plunge for distance championship will feature the big water carnival that will be held in Jersey City on Saturday, April D. Other events on the card will include the 50-yard swim, 220-yard swim. handicap; fancy diving, handicap: and the 50-yard back-stroke. Entries close April 1 and should be sent to Adeline Trapp Muhlenberg, S3 Fort Greene Place, Brooklyn.

less His opOnent, on the other hand, was 6. trile overconfident- but not so much So that the 7ermitted that to literally run away with him. He was fighting all the time and scored the greater number of punches as wall as the cleaner ones. And when It came to 8 final analysis of the bout in general the Bridgeporter had to take off his hat to the former cham pion, for the latter had defeated not by a wide margin, but enough to warrant being given the verdict.
 Allen had Brown baffled several times. His crC -7 counter worried Chic And so did his right stab be- .ow the heart But Allen did not nave sense enough to follow up these punches. Instead of waiting and pay ing a way through which to send a. walIop, Red" lest himself when tapped and rushed into rage of wild ness in his earnest determination to even matters. Red" might have baffIed Chic into defeat had he used better defensive tactics.
 He tried to beat Brown at his own game. He tried to swing his punches. Brown was too foxy. Yet he was per plexed at times, when Red" uncov- cred a hook or countered his right but the latter didn't realize that. Had he realized that fact he would have done much better. However, Red" ought the sort of fight that nine peo- pie out of every ten enjoys. He satis- fled his friends-and foe, for every body loves q fighter.
 A for Chic, he is the same trify o1 ~~~c conffdent boy. He usually strors into his corner with 8, string of sec
 
 He knows what he wants to do; those seconds are simply ornaments. But some day Chic will learn otherwise. One severe thrashing and he will be Q different lad. Some day Brown will learn that even presidents of univer- sites do not know everything. When Chic realizes that he will be a better boxer, his friends will like him better and he will find himself in better financial condition.
 Allen had an excuse for his show ing. He substituted for Louis Bogash of Bridgeport, who has bad eyes and a. wrenched angle. Red is deserv- ing of high praise. He jumped into Bogash's place in Lawrence last Thursday without a minutes training and knocked out Bud Murphy in the first round. Last night he again substituted for Bogash and. all in all and considering the fact that he had no or little time in which to do any training, he did well against one af the cleYerest boxers in New England | Red deserves another bout with Chic, but over a longer route- Pete Hartley of Derby and Harry Condon of New York had nowhere in particular to go last night, so they jumped into town and earned $50 each by boxing four fast rounds Pete was the winner by a fairly comfortable margin Condon tried mighty hard but Hartley was too much for him and tapped him at will Anyway, it was a treat for those who delight in seeing two willing boys slug through four rounds
 BridgepoTters were deeply interest ed also in a three-round preliminary between Jimmy Cane of that city and Jack Rose of New Haven, the visitor winning by a wide margin It was the best fought and most sensational bout of the evening.

T VERY NOW and then there is a wrestling match staged that Is
 strictly on the level. However the public has been victimized so often that even when q. reM and hon. est-to-goodness match comes along i: as difficult to convince 1t that the af- fair is really a sporting event and not the greedy money-making scheme of some fazir. For instance. that New Haven grapple booked for next Mon day night Is a match that has been thoroughly investiCated. It Is to be fought strictly on merits. The prin- cipals, Waldek Zybszko, the Polish aspirant to the heavyweight title, who defeated Joe Stecher the other night, and Gardini are two well known wrestlers.
 Zybszko. to our way of thinking, Is one of the greatest vrestlers the Eport has known. He has been found guilty of taking part in pre-arTanged Bouts. But he was taught a lesson. And 1t has been a long time since 2ybszko has had things his own way an the ring. all because his opponents nave not been "bought'' and the Pole had to extend himself Previously he simply went through a series Of mo 6ions and finally downed his man.
 Lincoln once said: "Tou can fool 2ll of the people some of the time Snd you can fool some of the people s1l of the time, BUT you can't fool ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALI OF THE TIME" And how true that holds in wrestling!

A ND, BY THE way while we are &A discussing wrestling and wrest- lers, it may interest the reader to Know that Ed Lewis, came in for high praise at the hands of the Chi cago critics for his victory oyer Joe Stecher of Dodge, Neb., who has been having the hardest job of his career holding his own with other topnotch- CTS. Sam F. Hall, sporting editor of 1.-The Chicago Herald" pays Lewis 2 hatterinS tribute when he writes:
 Ed Lewis convinced every body who saw him wait out Joe Stecher at the Coliseum and then toss him suddenly and com pletely that 1t will take a won derful wrestler to beat him. In fact, the mat sharps are inclined to suspect that no grappIer ex- tant can turn that trick. which goes for Earl Caddock, the man who Is credited with having a. thousands holds, or Wladez Zbys- zko, who has out perfected Gotch's toe-hold.
 Lewis Is patient, smart. speedy, same, and can travel a distance like a real stake horse. His tremendous size and strength are almost insurmountabIe ob- stacles to overcome In addition to his other assets.
 Lewis vrestles his own way, keeps hls head, and cannot be thrgzr, CT hla stride or made to chauza his rrsa Of battle by ex- citement to the crowd or abuse frcr. tNs spectators because of his Sta,ling tactics, Ed just goes in there to outstay the other guy, then fiatten him when the gruei- ling has made him the master of an enemy with better and moro varied offensive wares"

 Captain Andrew B. Kelly, the St. Louis fier, could not get away from his duties in Boston last Saturday to take part In the big Brooklyn games.

Pat Coyne, former Holy Cross Ly ceum distance runner, who won dis tinction in 1910 by walking from New York to San Francisco. has been dis charged from the army and is now planning another long distance hike. While in the army Coyne continued his interest in athletics and partici- pated in all the big meets. He won 81 important distance races on the coast and besides winning the big New Years marathon race at San Diego last year, he captured the five, ten and Is mile championships of his army division.

yN kRDTJI IS AN ambitious Italian II heavyweight-the first Italian grappler to be given the opportunity of winning the champ pionship. And this chap is all business. He is com parativeiy new to wrestling. but in 4he short time that he has been in the game he has given a splendid ac- count of himself.
 What he will do with such an op- ponent as Zybszko remains to he seen, but one thing is certain ana that Is that the giant Pole Is not go- Ing to have an easy time. The Ital- san is a slippery chap and can swing a hold on an opponent with the same cleverness that marks de work Of the Polander.
