r Asst nights gate" for the Eddie
Simms-Don Petrin Squabble at
Griffith Stadium may have been
the straw to have broken the we'll
known camels back. Although the
show had the backing Of the Veterans
OF Foreign Wars. which gained part
of the proceeds, only 1895 was
counted. The most logical reason for
the financial failure of the fight,
which proved interesting from a fistic
standpoint. is that Simms was a
newcomer sans reputation and
retrin a ringster who has shown only
once here and then against a very
mediocre heavyweight.
Five per cent Of $895 is little more
than $40 and from statistics supplied
by Maj. Harvey Miller, secretary OF
the boxing commission. at least $85
Is necessary to pay of the help re-
quired by the ring board TO super
wise properly fight card at the ball
park.
'Eighty-five dollars is dirt cheap
at that" to quote Maj, Miller. This
includes furnishing of well known
physicians, two referees per show,
gate inspectors, etc. If the Boxing
Commission were to rely solely on its
''cut" at the gate for its proceeds 1t
would be something like $4,000 In
debt right now and boxings been
legalied only two months.
Annual licenses for fighters have
produced the money which has kept
the debt within reasonable limits, but

up at this rate. For instance, only
two new fighters, Simms and Frank
Fullam, had to purchase licenses on
last nights card whereas few weeks
back maybe six or eight on a card
were issued them. Promoters nat
urally employ many Of the same
fighters who have fought before and
the licenses are issued annually and
not by the show.
Something undoubtedly will be
done by the Commissioners when they
meet tomorrow. What 1t is I can
not say. but one thing is certain
you can't pay an $s5 debt with S44.75

NEW TECHNIQUE
 IN SAVING LIVES
Major Abdominal Opera ton Method Finds Favor.
 able Reaction

Moscow (UP)--A new tech. nique for major abdominal opera tiona, which It's originator believes Will save many lives, recently has been perfected by Soviet Hur- gaon, Professor <. 1. Hpna0. .Ifuk0t- sky.
 The surgeon, after yaarwof prae. tiec, became convinced that many patients died from stomach opera lions because they were deprived of food for some hours before K0- Ing under the knife. Consequently, he reasoned, vitality was exhaust. cd and tho formation of dangerous ncidn. in tho inteatines was fnell- itaLad.
 h his earlier attempts to coun- toraGt this condition, Bpnso- Ku- kotaky introduced into the intea- tines, following ths operation, a "breakfRat" Of spirits, butter, AggA and milk. Hhe estimated that half h liter of this connection contained 5000 eatories. As n result Of re- Htoslng tho patients viEor by this nutritious food, tho surgeon esti- mated that he reduced fatalities from abdominal operations from 10 t0 4,l per cent.
 Lately, HpaHos Ytsukothky sven has ROna further and hnM begun feeding patients A light but nutri. ti0uA diet in advance of tho ops erati0n. Az n result, he contends that the patient is put in < aondi- ton to permit operations with Toe enl rather than general anoathetieH. HpnA0- Ituk0taky'H technique. tt iH understood, iH being adopted by A number of other Soviet surgeons.
