Bernstein Whips Herman
in Poor Bout at Pioneer

Jack Bernstein of Yonkers and Babe
Herman OF California went twelve
tiresome rounds before capacity house
last night at the Pioneer Sporting Club.
Bernstein was awarded the decision and
he earned 1t II for no other reason than
that the Yonkers puncher was in nowise
responsible for the failure of the meet
ing to develop into a real fight.
Herman's showing was "a sad disap-
pointment In only two of the twelve
rounds did he make fight of it. and
even then. mixing It with the Easterner,
he was unable to make any impression
on his opponent.
There was nothing at all about the
Babe last night to remind spectator
OF the corking little fighter who came
from the West coast q comparatively
short time ago. His old time speed
was missing, so was his aggressiveness.
Even his cleverness was absent except
for ability to make what the ringside
boys call "stay away fight" This he
did to perfection. battling Bernstein's
repeated efforts TO do some real bat
ting.

'TUNNEY TO GET TEST
IN WEINERT D0UY
If Greenwich Village Boxer
Wins He May Earn Return
Title Match.
by CHARLES #. MATHIsoN.

Gene Tunney, who was the A. i. T.
light heavyweight champion and who
won the American title from the fat
fair Battling Levinsky, only to have it
snatched from him by the robust, COM
bative Greb, is 70 wage a test battle
tonight in Madison Square Garden. The
trial horse is none other than Charles
Adons Weinert of Newark. a clever
boxer, impressive hitter and experienced
ringster.
II Tunney can win decisively from
Weinert, the Greenwich Village favorits
will get a return match with Greb.
Tunney is boxer who always gives
his best while In the ring and for that
reason he Is favorite with the patrons
Of the sport.
Weinert seldom enters the roped
square without achieving spectacular
victory or an equally spectacular defeat
and the onlookers feel reasonably GER
tain OF seeing bout worth looking at
any time he climbs through the ropes.
If the claim OF Eddie Shevlin, who is
to box Jimmy Kelly, that he has defeated
I
Dave Shade and Moe Herscovitch, can
be sustained by the facts. he should
prove a sensational performer In the
ring. Shevlin has been boxing for a
long time, and until recently he has
not been regarded as a phenomenal
fighter Yet If he has beaten all the
men named in his proclamation he is un-
questionably one of the greatest welters
in the world. Yet, before going into
t.. rx,tII - rya1l
TO await the combat between the New
Englander and the boisterous Kelly.
Johnny Curtin was quite severely
injured during his bout with Danny
Edwards, and has been compelled to
abandon training for the time being. He
was to have boxed Midget Smith at tho
Arena, in Jersey City, next Monday
night, but was unable to train and the
bout was abandoned. In its place a
contest between Willie Jackson and
Johnny Shugrue has been substituted.
There will be nineteen bouts between
the best amateur boxers of New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Newark
tomorrow night at Madison Square
Garden.
The rushing advance OF lovely woman
in all branches of sport has added a
new peril to the business of boxing.
Tommy Burns once heavyweight cham
pion. has appealed to an English court
to protect him against the assaultA OF
his wife. According to the complaint,
she recently beat him in brutal man
ncr.
Chairman William Muldoon Yesterday
had Phil O'Dowd, Danny Lee and their
managers ON the carpet at headquarters
regarding their bout at the Common
wealth Sporting Club last Saturday
night. Lee was declared the winner by
knockout In the fifth round. but so
many charges Of a prearranged affair
have reached the commission that II
was decided to investigate. Meantime
the purses of the boxers will be held up.

Einsteins? Nix! Gravity's the
Thing and His Heavy
weights Prove 1t.
BY w. O. sIcGEEHAN.

Prof. James J. Johnson, who tried
out his theory of elimination on the
heavyweight aspirants at Madison
Square Garden was not to be found
in his usual haunts yesterday. He de-
MED over the telephone that he had
gone into hiding to escape the wrath
of those who were eliminated. Mr.
Johnson merely has gone into retire
ment to develop his theory. While the
financial results of the first application
were a trifie disappointing the artistic
results and the scientific value of the
experiments at Madison Square Garden
were all that could be desired.
MY theory of elimination is not In
any way to be confounded with Prof
Einstein's theory of RELATIVELY" said
Prof. Johnston. "As a matter of fact
know nothing Of either of the Einsteins
either the professor or Izzy Einstein
must acknowledge my debt to Prof
Newton, however.
+ Prof Newton, you will recall. was
the bird who was beaned by an apple
and evolved from this accident the
theory of gravity. My theory OF elimi-
nation simply carries out Prof. New
tons theory to its logical conclusion
From personal observation l discoveIId
that a heavyweight can hit the canvas

You have seen him spatter the resin

Il think that it was Al Reich Wild

tons theory of gravity into my theory
of elimination. I figured that IL 70,
could get enough heavyweights to kiss
the canvas hard enough and stimuli
taneously the result would be the elm
ination of the heavyweights in question
OF course. you can see the benefits o1
this to civilization. Think of all the
trouble we would have been spared II
had been able to perfect my theory o.
elimination at the time of the whit

"You observed the results of the frs
experiments in elimination. You viii

in the experiment were resuscitated and
reassembled they were practically as
good as ever
You may deny for me the canard
which has been published to the effect
that am hiding out from the men who
were eliminated l am not hiding. Never
mind where l am talking from. Can't
You take my word for it that 1 am not
hiding out?
All, Yes. Great Stuff!
You may say for me also that the
theory of elimination will be applied to
other arts and sciences. My next step
will be to put the managers and pro-
moters through the elimination process.
You cannot deny. that if l can do this
successfully l will have accomplished
more than Newton or Einstein. All that
Newton did was to find out that when
they hit the canvas they would remain
there. It remained for Professor James
J. Johnston to discover how to make
them hit the canvas. That required real
thought and intellectual power.

ing the boxers, the promoters and the
managers, / still will continue to ex-
pound the theory and to apply it. All
of the arts, they tell me. are in a state
where they would be immeasurably bene-
fited by the application of my theory.
The working out OF the theory has be-
come SO fascinating that | may even
apply it to myself in the long run. That
ought to be good story, what? Prof,

theory of elimination. finally eliminates

for these experiments through popular

search.

Dear Editor

children are burned or scalded.
When a child is burned or scalded,
the parents become excited and use
the first thing they find to ease the
pain Sometimes the results are SER
cipe. In case of burns, remove clothing
with great care so as not to pull off
the skin. Break the white of enough
eggs according to the size of the
burn in dish. beat just enough to
break the whites. Place a clean oiled
cloth over the part that Is burned and
pour on the egg gently. Keep this up
until the fire (pain) is out which will
be in very short time. Then the pa
tient will become quiet. Allow the pa
tient to rest for while. Use all care
to protect the burn. If any blisters
appear open with clean needle, using
gauze to absorb the water. Be careful
to keep the water from running on the
burn. After this is done powder with
some good soothing talcum powder.
Apply freely only on parts where the
flesh is cooked or skin is off, the fol-
