 In the semi-final six rounder, Jack Cutie of Quincy, Mass. meets Ray Jones of New York City. Cutie is very fast and dotes on making his opponent miss many punches. Both will weigh 122.
 It was a "must'' for Mundell to again bring back the 16O pound battler, Tommy Keene of Pitts burgh. The blonde scrapper is def- initely the main attraction at the beach and Mundell is seeking an opponent who will stand up under the sharp punching of the Pitts- burgher. Eddie Rosse of Everett, Mass. will climb into the ring against the popular Tommy for six rounds or less. The winner of this bout will meet Billy Brown O4 AAol LULU OIl CAAC tACAb cALOWs

Morgan Park Loop Setting Fast Pace

The Morgan Park League is liv- ing up to preseason expectation, and showing a type of ball on par with any Class c League in organized baseball. No doubt the Morgan Park circuit is the fastest town league in operation today. A few teams are noticeably weak but the managers are seeking re- placements and endeavoring to strengthen in every way possible.
 Indications point to a three-way battle between the Coast Guard Dolphins, Oxford Hose Co. Nine, and the Coast Guard Bears. All are well stocked with pitching ma terial and have reserves for all po- sitions.
 The Sub-Base looked strong in their tie game with the Oxfords, but fell apart two days later against the Dolphins. At present the dark horse in the pennant race, the Gleasonmen will be a real threat, if the former major league Outfielder succeeds in his quest for two infielders and a catcher. Gleason himself is giving a won- derful exhibition of defensive play at his centerfield position. His catch of Johnny Golart's drive near the centerfield wall, and Jim McKenna's tumbling string grab of line drive in the Oxford Bear game, are the fielding gems of the season, to date.
 The Maritime boys. with Bill Johnson at the helm, are riding along on the former Yankee stars extra base clubbing. but are nev- ertheless one of the weakest teams. Johnson's presence will make them a powerful attraction, however.

been greatly enlarged while much

creased wages. This in turn has
helped retail merchants. Most in.

Uncertainties to Overcome

take the place OF their present war
output. Most of them should ar
range for the sale or junking IL

chase OF new machinery. They
should get rid OF surplus inven'

planned. Tentative production
schedules should now be whipped
into shape.
Many uncertainties affecting all
businessmen await government &C
ton. Such action will include the
okaying OF definite plans for re-
conversion, postwar taxation and
whether or not controls will con-
tinue in effect after the war on
materials, prices and labor. Furth-
ermore, only the government can
act on the disposal OF government
owned plants and surplus govern
ment stocks of goods and commo-
dities. The Baruch-Hancock re-
port emphasizes the necessity for
early government action on all
postwar plans. Wise employers,
however, will not wait for the gov
eminent to act.

Corneal Transplant

Corneal Transplant
I would not spoil the readers
pleasure by abstracting any of
these.
was interested in reading one
topic about which / have not been
able to get much satisfactory and
conservative information, and this
is the success of grating corneas
on opaque eyes. | have seen, as
everyone has, somewhat sensa-
tional accounts and pictures in the
current magazine press, but l
haven't been able to contact any
oculists who have performed the
operation or who even know about
it authoritatively.
On first thought it seems TO vio-
late one Of the fundamental prin-
eiples Of surgery which is-"No
graft except an autograft will
live" That is, you cannot make a
skin graft live unless the skin is
taken from another part Of the
body Of the same person who needs
the graft. But then in reply TO this
the thought occurs that the cornea
is almost a completely non-vascu-
lar structure and may for that
reason not come within the rule
Description of Operation
Here is what DR.. Fox says about
it:
I'VE must say a few words
about the corneal transplant. This
is the operation by which a small
window is cut in an Opaque cornea
anG replaced by q piece of clear
cornea. In the past few years
nothing about the eye, with the
possible exception Of the contact
lens, has received more publicity.
And nothing has raised more false
hopes. 1t should be known that
this operation is on the eornea
only. 1t can be performed only in
those cases where the cornea, by
reason Of injury or disease, has
lost its transparency or its regu-
larity, 50 that vision is impaired.
It can be successful only in those
eyes that are healthy except for
an unclear cornea. Obviously there
is no earthly use in giving the eye
a clear window If there is some
thing else inside the eye that pre-
vents it from seeing. And even
under the best circumstances the
new corneal window may become
opaque again. Why, we do not
know.
1.-THE corneal transplant oper-
alton is an incidentally important
advance in eye surgery. 1t is the
result of many years of expert
mentation and research. 1t has
restored vision to many eyes that
would otherwise be blind. The
widespread notion that with this
operation an entire diseased eye
can be removed and a new one put
in its place is wrong. :"
