Playing alongside him at second base
is Bobby Doerr, l9-year-old Califor-
nian, who will be introduced here.
Doerr has run the veteran Oscar Me-
lilo out of the job.
The familiar figures of Jimmy Foxx
and Pinky Higgins will round out the
Sox infield. This series. however, will
find Higgins in Boston uniform for
the first time. AL his time in the ma

but a rookie, Fabian Gaf7ke, is pa.
trolling left field and doing an all right
job. Roger Cramer remains in center
while Mel Almada seems to have won
the right-f1eld berth from Colonel Bus
ter Mills, rookie whose name really
Is Colonel Buster Mills.
Buck Newsom or Pete Appleton was
to work the opener for Washington.
Monte Weaver will get the pitching
assignment on Sunday and will be
followed in the Sox finale by either
Newsom or Appleton, depending upon
who pitches today. Carl Fischer and
Jimmy De Shong will start two of the
games against the Browns next week.
Jesse Hill was to continue to play
center field while Chapman is recov-
ering from bad elbow, shoulder and
knee. Next week, possibly as early as
Monday, Shortstop Cecil Travis is ex-
pected to be in shape to return to the
game. Travis has been working out
for the last three days and while his
injured knee still is stiff it Is reported
that he is nearing readiness.
Ossie Bluege did a grand job Of
shortstopping on the Western swing,
but Ossie cannot hit with Travis and
the Mats need all the punch they can
muster. In the West the club showed
that it can hit but the chances Of
the evidence being sustained are much
better with Travis in the lineup.

that the ight-heavyweight

while the competition is so scarce, is
beginning to consider seriously his
threat to enter heavyweight ranks.
Lewis hasn't had a title fight since

punches on in preparation for his

Bob Olin ut St. Louis June 3.
Lewis has tackled a half dozen

Garden Not Through.

INDICATIONS that further legal
steps would be taken by the Mad
ison Square Garden Corp. came from
both John Reed Fitzpatrick, the presi-
dent and Promoter Jimmy Johnston.
In mis- decision on the injunction
application, which he had under con-
sideration for more than month,
Judge Fake paved the way for an ap-
peal by reserving the right to come
to contrary conclusions in the event
that the examination and cross-ex-
animation of witnesses in open court
on final hearing justifies different
result"
Brig. Gen John j. Phelan, chairman
Of the New York State Athletic Com
mission, said. We expect them BRAD
dock and Schmeling) to carry out
their contracts" And Schmeling
through his American manager, Joe
Jacobs, said he would be ready to fight
June and would rely upon the New
York Commission If Braddock failed
to do his part.
Whatever further legal blows may
be struck, Judge Fakes ruling stands
as the first indication of the outcome
of battle that has been going on
since Midwinter. Braddock first be-
gan to turn a cold shoulder toward
the once-postponed Schmeling bout
when the possibility of a non-title
meeting with Louis at Atlantic City
was broached.

went ahead today with prep
arations for the Braddock- Louis cham

While promoters of the Chicago bout

for no further legal obstacles, New

not accept as final Federal Judge Guy
L. Fakes decision in Newark yester-

He denied the Gardens request for
temporary injunction to restrain Brad
dock, who is under contract to fight
Max Schmeling in the Garden June 3,
from meeting Louis in Chicago.
Braddock, in training at Grand

promoter, announced tickets for the
fight in Comiskey Park probably would
be placed on sale next Thursday.

HOW ALLANTOIN
CURES DISEASE
TOLD BY SAvANT
Maggot Juice Product
Aids Many MaIadies

"I was lucky" drawled DR..
william Robinson, Department OF
Agriculture entomologist, as he
offered his interviewer an allan
toin cocktail, and we settled
back to discuss maggots in his
tiny laboratory, where he dis
covered the healing qualities OF
the sterile solution Of maggot ex-
creation, known commercially as
allantoin.
It's no joke, either, this drink
ing of allantojn, a substance
which now has been accepted
definitely by medical experts as
a healing agent for malignant
wounds, ulcers. sinus, rectal dis
turoances and dozens of other
diseases occasioned by broken
down, decayed tissues.
GIVES CREDIT TO OTHERS
DR.. Robinson, who first discov'
cred the practical usage of allan
tom. a chemical derived from the
excretions OF animals lower than
man, is a researcher from head
to toe. He is about As and has
prematurely gray hair and twink
ling blue eyes That relay the first
evidence of his exhilarating per-
sonality and boundless energy.
He is most insistent upon en-
phasizing that he has nothing to
do with doctors or medicine, and
that to the latter practitioners be-
long all the glory of allantoin de-
velopment. In his office today can
be found the original apparatus
and test tubes which crowned his
long search for a material that
could replace maggots and still
cleanse deadened tissues and gap
ing wounds of harmful, disease
spreading bacteria.
DR.. Robinson was hired by the
Department of Agriculture in 1881
to find out how to breed sterile
maggots that would be available
the year round. Earlier microbe
hunters, principally the late DR..
William S. 8aer, of Johns Hopkins
Medical School in Baltimore, found
that by placing maggots on bone
marrow infections, the animal
scavengers managed to divest the
wound of bacteria. But how?
TELLS OF WORK
Let DR.. Robinson tell the story:
I'VE got the bunch that be-
sides Scavenging on dead It's
sues, he maggots were intro
ducing / chemical into the
wound. My job was to find
that chemical by separating it
from the many substances swept
through the maggot's digestive
tract.
ut was hard work because
there was little known about the
particular excretion. Finally we
found that an American cam
era company made small quaint
ties of allantoin, but did not
know of its healing qualities.
We asked the company to ship
us some of the substance, and
continued our experimentation
in WASHINGTON.
Eve perfected a system Of OBJ
tanning allantoin from maggots.
Now, instead of applying mag
gots to ar ulcerous growth at a
cost of SO per treatment and
taking a chance that the mag
got is completely sterile, allan
toin can be produced at a cost
of only 5 cents per treatment
and is accessible in powder or
tablet form"
