DR.. BOND TELLS Of
WORK AT SAVANNAH
Former Health Commissions
Here Now Has Surgeons Job
at Marine Hospital

DR.. B. F.yBond, who resigned re-
Gently as health commissioner here,
and who is now a surgeon in the
United States Marine hospital at
Savannah, has written friend here
telling of his new place, and de-
sefibing the hospital to which he
is attached. This letter contains
much Of general interest to residents
of the community, and portions of
the letter have been furnished the
Times-Recorder for publication. In
his letter he expressed apprecia-
ton of the attitude Of all the peo-
pie toward him during his TERN of
office here, especially the little.
children, of whom he says, "God
bless them"
Continuing, DR.. Bond says in his
letter:
"The Marine hospital is located
between Abercorn and Drayton
streets, on York street. 1t has a
capacity for about one hundred pa
tients. There is an addition when
completed will add considerably to
its accommodation, and convenience,
making its modern in. every par
ticular. The personnel at present
consists of medical officers, one
dental officer, three attending spe-
! cialists and forty other employees,
econsisting of pharmacists, stenog-
raphefs and typists, book-keepers
nurses, dietitian and other help,
making a total Of forty on the pay
roll. isa@ ~
| '"The work here ID all inside. The
summer uniforms are white, MILF
Itary coat style with brass buttons,
long trousers with white shoes. A
very neat apparel. The winter uni
from are olive drab with roll col
lars. The work here, as in all gov
eminent work is largely paper work.
1t is divided into "out- patient of
fice' and impatient service" Out
patients are those not demanding
or needing hospital service, but
able to return for treatment. Many
cards, records and files are kept.
The hospital is divided into surgi-
cal, medical and veneral wards. Ny
assignment is in the surgical ward.
We have performed two major OPP
erations this week, an appendec-
tony and a radical cure for her
MIA. If We find something out of
the ordinary we have a consulting
specialist from the city. The four
active physicians have charge of
the "out-patient office" the nfedi-
cal ward, the venereal, ward and
the surgical ward. Apparently all
concerned has an earnest desire TO
be of service to the patients who
are contented and well pleased.
Very few are bed-ridden; nearly
all receive passes and enjoy them
selves as well as could be expect
ed. The Red Gross and X. of C. 4
furnish entertainments at the hos
pital, automobile and boat rides,
dawn parties and fetes.
You will please excuse me for
writing at such length, but such
an institution deserves much credit.
Any employee of the government,
properly identified can receive
treatment"

There is a runner ON first base.
The batsman hits to- the shortstop.
The shortstop fumbles the ball
slightly, and. realizing he has no
chance to get the runner at second,
cuts loose hurried throw to first
to get the basman.
The throw Is wild and gets
away from the first baseman, and
the base umpire believes that it has
gone into the players bench, which
according to the ground rule en-
titles the runners to. advance two
bases. e
The runner from first slid hard
into second and slightly injured
his ankle. He made no attempt to
go to third on getting to his feet.
The base umpire waved him over to
third and he started to jog to that
base.
The catcher of the team in the
field recovered the ball and threw
the ball to the tird baseman, who
| touched out the runner coming
into third.
The ball did not so into the
players bench. The umpire back
of the. plate so ruled.
What about this play?

Bv JESS WILLARD
Former Heavyweight Champion

| ormef heavyweight champion
Jack Dempsey is terrific fight
ing man.
found that out, and so have
the others who faced him.
Many of the sporting writers
though, have made him out as alb
solutely invincible. There isn't any
such man. While the champion il
at the peak of his strength, there
always is some young chap coming
along who will some day put hin
out.
Dempsey landed on my chin in
breakaway in the first round of our
fight at Toledo, and from then on
was in a, daze. l don't know
what happened, except what spec
tators told me.
But it seems that / landed one
on him in the next round which
nearly put him out, except that I
wasn't able to finish him. That
would show that he can be hit and
can be shaken.
The best asset fighter can have,
/ think. is a good left hand. That
comes in always to stab the first
rush of the other mans attack
Dempsey certainly has such left
hand, but with his distinctive style
Of swaying from side to side, he
makes unusual use of both hands.
His blows are hooks instead Of
clean, straight shot. But they are
dangerous.
Jack Dempsey is fast and strong,
and he hits hard. I-don't want to
tell anybody that he isn't formid-
able. There are points to his dis
advantage, though, which ought to
be considered in figuring the odds.
First of all, he is champion. That
is a burden to carry into the ring,
even though it makes hi ma favor
lite in popular Judgment. The cham
pion is worried@at the thought Of
the stake he has to lose. My mind
kept going back to that when had
the title, and it is natural for any
one. ffY1
Then, being the champion, he is
surrounded by a crowd, and that is
hard for steady training. I don't
mean training just before the fight.
But champions grow careless.
The glimmer of the lights saps
their power. Dempsey has had only
two fights with the title. A man
needs at least two fights a year
to keep in condition, and three or
four wouldn't hurt Kim.
The best man I ever fought was
Jackson. I'd like for anyone to
name a single quality, he lacked
for perfection when he was in his
prime. He had everything. His
best Ntwas better than the best of
either Dempsey or Firpo.
My advice to Firpo is to be care
full with Dempsey the first two, or
three rounds. Dempsey makes a
lightning start, but I don't think
he can go for long grind.
Be stone wall to Dempsey's
charge. Then knock him out-if
you can.

MERCER HAS STIFF
GRID|R0N SCHEDULE
Three Major Games With Geor-
gia, Florida and Fumans Mil
Give Baptists Hard Work

MACON, Sept. with three ma
jor games on the Orange and Black
grid schedule for the coming. sea-
son, Mercer University faces the
stiffest program it has had in recent
years. Georgia, Florida and Fur
man are certain to give the Bap-
fists plenty of opposition, while the
other six games are expected to
push Mercer all the way.
To undertake this strenuous
schedule, it cannot be said that Mer-
Ger is more than fairly well forti-
fled, according to athletic officials.
Coach Josh Cody. who plotted thr
3aptista for three years, has re-
turned to Vanderbilt as assistant to
Dan McGugin.
Succeeding Cody Stanley L. Rob
bic" Robinson, naturally faces all
the problems which come when any
new athletic mentor assumes the
responsibility for turning out win
ming team. Robinson comes to Mer-
Ger from Mississippi College after
brilliant record as tutor and fol-
lowers of the Orange and Black
have great faith in his ability. They
realize, however, that it takes time
for "a new chieftain to show any
great progress.
From the 1922 eleven Mercer will
return fair nucleus. Captain Carl
Lancaster, guard; Sid johnson, 210-
pound center; Ed Irwin, one of the
outstanding ends in the south; Ike
Cowart, tackle; McWilliams, end;
Carthron, guard; Dasher, tackle;
and Shiflett, tac.fc, are lost from
the regulars.
In the death of 1Coot" Shiflett,
Mercer has lost one of the finest
prospects ever at the University. His
place will be hard to fill.
Twins going takes from the Or
ange and Black the greatest forward
passer and punter recently enrolled
at Mercer. Coach Robinson is having
trouble developing a man to fill his
position.

THE MISREPRESENTATION

The mistake IN this case must be
charged against the umpire.
The base Umpire, believing the
ball had gone into the bench, wav-
ed the runner, who had stepped at
second to advance to third.
The player, in following the die
tates> of the umpire, is touched
with the ball and apparently re-
tired.
Common sense must decide this
play. Since the player advanced
because the umpire SO ordered him,
there is no reason why he should
suffer because the ball didn't go
into the bench. The umpire
should have sent the runner back to
second.

of the American dollar now amounts
to only 65 cents, the Departmental La
Dor announced in making public the
results of ten-year survey of the dol
lars varying course. The survey Is
based upon the fluctuations Of the dol
