AWAY FROM THE STRAIN.

Boothbay Maine. may may not be the most
healthful place Of residence in the United States
statistcian who kept the of deaths there
good case for unusual longevity inhabitants.
Analysing 1900 deaths he reports that two have
been of persons more than 100 years old. 3s
agenarans 271 in their eighties and 391 between 20
and so. Of all. 1O4S were past their 60th year
when overtaken by death. Contrast, for example,
the record of deaths in New York state for 1913.
which reveals that of 1864 only 41,74s of
persons more than So years old: average NOR
talty statistics for the nation. which show
every thousand persons S69 die before their 18th
year.
The age-old debate as to whether the country is
more healthful the city is thus given renewed
impetus. If Boothbay were representative of all
rural districts. the argument would be abruptly
halted. But until evidence comes of the conditions
of living in the Maine town it will be accepted
as typical of the country districts generally The
is likely be found in the thought that life
anywhere, in town or country, is Pretty much what
we make it. The country. made livable by SANTA
ton and neighboriness is conducive to longevity;
so is the town if robbed Of it's myriad nerve-rack-
ing distractions The country has all the better OF
the argument in that its evils the easily
eradcated.
Admitting all this. the city will fall back
upon his last ditch defense that the main idea of
life after all is not TO see how long we can live
but how probably. ourselves and those about us.

JOHNNY Martin
To FIGHT HERE
Crack Poughkeepsie Light
weight Meets Paterson
Scrapper in Main Bout.

Johnny Martin, the crack Pough-
keepsic, lightweight, who is at pres
ent making his home in this city,
will be the big star on the fight card
to be exhibited to the fistic fans of
this vicinity in the Auditorium next
Thursday night. Martin Is booked
to meet Tommy Elm. a tough boy
from Paterson in the main ten
round bout, while Harvey Crosby of
Bayonne and Joe Woods of New
England meet in the semi-final ten
round go. Matchmaker Poulsen of
this city has, announced that Billy De
Foe, the crack lightweight who de-
feated Ralph Brady in New York
short time ago. has fatty refused to
meet Martin under any circum-
stances.
The fact that DeFoe, a hard hitter
refuses to meet him, adds to Martins
laurels. DeFoe at present weighs
around 131, while Martin weighs
about 1913. DeFoe fought Brady at
13s pounds and administered ter
rife trimming.
During his long ring career Mar
tin has fought three ten round draws
with Johnny Dundee, fought Lew
drew with Willie Jackson in a six
round bout at Philadelphia this year.
Martin stayed six rounds with Benny
Leonard in 1917 and the decision
was given as a draw. The Pough-
keepsie boy won the newspaper de-
cision over Ritchie Mitchell. defeat
ed Charley Pitts, stopped Phil Bloom
in nine rounds and beat Tommy
Murphy.
After his bout with Elm here.
Martin expects to take on some of
the leading lightweights again. for
he has issued a challenge to any
boxer in the lightweight class and
bars none.
In addition to the other ten round
bout between Crosby and Woods. two
fast featherweights, there will be two
six round bouts. Joe Balint of this
city and Ted Seidman of New Bruins
wick will meet in one of the short
bouts.

Amboy American Legion football
team travelled to Metuchen on SAT-
urday afternoon and held the fast
Metuchen Field CLUB to a 90 tie.
The game was one of the hardest
fought and cleanest contests that
has been played on the Metuchen
field this season. The locals were
favored in the initial period by the
breaks" of the game, but when they
had an advantage over the Metu-
chen tenn they were unable to score.
At one time the ball was carried
over the line in a forward pass, but
the pass was declared illegal owing
to the fact that a guard received
the ball. a return game will be
played in this city at an early date.
After the splendid showing by
the American Legion football team
in theirs game at Metuchen against
the fast team from that place, local
football fans are now anxious to see
a return game between the locals
ard the Tottenville A. c. Some
weeks ago the locals Travelled to

The local fans declare that they re-
ceived raw deal' at the hands
of the referee and are confident that
the American Legion team would
come out victors under favorable
circumstances.

The recent report of the U. S.
Olympic Committee shows that
while America acquitted itself well
at the games in Antwerp we, as
country, did not do our best.
The sending of nearly three times
the number of athletes abroad that
took part in the games of 1912 at
Stockholm necessitated a skimping
policy in the pursestrings which
caused a storm of protest from the
personnel of the team.
The United States won the Olym-
pics despite the financial handicap
but under better living conditions
they could have done better.
That is our lesson for future
Olympiads. The flower of our
country's athletic strength deserves
nothing but the best. The raising
of funds by popular subscription is
ok. so far as the principle is con-
cerned. 1t proved a fiivver in ac-
tuality.
These boys-our representatives
deserved the nations backing. An
Olympiad is not a trivial matter.
1t concerns every one of our 100
millions of people. 1t represents a
nations honor. 1t means more to
our country than the building of
DdllleSnlpS because IL encourages
the building of strong men.
The absurdty of sending our
stars abroad as representatives of
the United States and forcing them
to buy their own athletic equipment
is bad business. No wonder our
boys didn't like 1t. We don't even
like to think about it now. Yet it
was true in many instances.
Popular subscription for support
ing such an event sounds all right
but it isn't practical. If they repre-
sent Uncle Sam it's his job to see
that they are properly clothed, fed
and sheltered while upholding his
standard of honor.
The management of the 1920 u.
$. Olympic Committee reaped a
barrel full of criticism. They may
have made some mistakes. But the
real mistake of the whole affair was
that the financial burden wasn't
properly met by you and me and
Uncle Sam.
We won. even with the handicap.
But other countries threw a scare
into us by their remarkable show
ings.
Let there be no handicap imposed
