Interviews Caused
MiIIer's 5 Custer From
Clinic, Rutland Says

DR.. Michael M. Miller, psychia-
trist, has been separated" from his
post as volunteer director of the
Districts alcoholic clinic, District
Health Ofncer George c. Rutland
said yesterday, because of "impru-
dent interviews" during which he
was quoted as saying that drinking
by members of Congress had a
most damaging effect on legisla-
tion."
With the approval of District
Commissioner Guy Mason, DR.
Rutland late yesterday notified DR.
Miller Of his separation" and ap-
pointed as temporary head of the
ulinic another psychiatrist, DR.. Ben
jamin Weininger, of this city.
viii Await Successor. 80
DR.. Weininger, the health officer
said, was not interested in accept
ing permanent service In the clinic,
but was willing to carry on until
we can find suitable replacement. -
DR.. Miller had been dismissed
from his post as a psychiatrist at
st. Elizabeths Hospital yesterday.
In q report to Commissioner
Mason, DR.. Rutland said, "The re-
cent unfortunate publicity concern
Ing the clinic for alcoholics calls, in
my judgment, for the release of DR.
Michael Miller from that service"
Writing to DR.. Miller, the health
omcer notified him that his services
as a volunteer worker were "ter-
minated as of the date of this
letter"
Il feel it is hardly necessary" he
added, Ito 60 into the detail of the
reasons for this decision. For your
good intentions and such services
as you have performed, I wish tc
thank you. It is extremely unfor-
tunate that the imprudent inter.
views and publicity have necessi.
tated your separation from the
Health Department, as a volunteer. >
DR.. Rutland concluded by ex-
pressing:
Every good wish for whereve,
you may undertake to practice"
The clinic has been operating
under DR.. Miller in the Municipal
Building. But, DR.. Rutland ex-
planned in his memorandum to
Commissioner Mason, the new d.
rector will not want to continue the
evening hours which have been in
effect there, except on next Monday
May Move to School.
DR.. Ruhland said there was a
possibility Of using the Ross School
at Seventeenth and r streets NV.
for the alcoholic clinic. The Board
OF Education, he said, "is agreeable
that We establish the clinic there
provided the clinic periods will not
conflict with the work permit service
carried out there by the Board of
Education. This I believe we can
work out"
Concerning DIR. Weininger, the
new director, DR.. Ruhland said he
appears to be a man of consid-
cradle years experience in the prac-
tice of psychiatry. Significantly,
he has had two and one-half years
at Sheppard Pratt, Baltimore; five
years at the Chestnut Lodge Sana-
toriuni and nine years in private
practice as psychiatrist."

World Series Wanted Overseas

Pearl Harbor, Aug. 3 - (UP) - Seabee Magazine, Navy publica- tion, has advanced a plan for sports hungry servicemen in the Pacific to be grandstand spectators at the 1945 world series.
 The magazine, which circulates throughout the Pacific, cabled Base ball Commissioner A. B. (Happy) Chandler and Office of Defense Transportation Director J. Monroe Johnson yesterday, suggesting that the world series be played on vari- ous Pacific Islands.
 An article in the current issue presented the magazines proposal as the answer to an ODT order that the entire series be played in one city if held in the U. s. The article added that Pacific play would give servicemen "a great treat"
 Facilities already are available for the games at Pearl Harbor, Manila and Guam, the article said, and other fields will be ready for use by October.
 The cable to Chandler and John- son was approved by Naval Head quarters at Guam, indicating that if the major leagues were agreeable, they probably would receive a travel okay from the Navy.
 Secretary of Navy James V. For restal already has invited the series winner to take a 90-day tour of the Pacific to play exhibition games against service hines.

Borowy Faces Draft

Trenton, N. J., Aug. B. (UP)-The essential war worker" classification of pitcher Hank Borowy, sold by the New York Yankees to the Chicago Cubs, was Ger roneous," State Selective Service Headquarters an nounced today.
 "The investigation into the status of Henry L. Borowy has been completed" said Col. Edgar N. Bloomer, State Selective Service Director. "The investigation reveals that Borowys present 2-B classification as an essential war worker is erroneous.
 Borowy's case was referred to his local draft board at Bloomfield for reconsider ation, Boomer said. The case will be considered Monday and it appeared probable that Borowy,, only 27, might be drafted.

LARK|N FACES
 ABLE JOYCE AT
 GARDEN TON|TE

New York, Aug. 3-It was just over a year ago that Tippy Larkin, of Garfield, N. J., demonstrated his right to a top place among light weight title contenders by knocking out Allie Stolz in three rounds. And then, to prove he also belonged among the countrys leading well terweights, he knocked out Freddie Archer in eight.
 But, following the victory over Archer, Larkin abandoned ring &C., tivity for an entire year to work in a New Jersey war plant. Early in June he resumed campaigning, en- gagged in two minor contests which he won by quick knockouts.
 Tonight Tippy Larkin returns to big time. He opposes Willie Joyce, spectacular lightweight from Gary, Ind, in a contest scheduled for ten rounds at Madison Square Garden.
 It is rugged assignment which Larkin has accepted in his attempt to show that he still belongs among the headliners, despite his long ab- Sence from the ring. Joyce has been something of sensation in three Garden appearances.
 Star SOuthpaw
 Seldom have Garden fans seen so marvellous display of left hand technique as that exhibited by Joyce in twice vanquishing Ike Williams, current N B. A. lightweight cham pion, and in outpointing Bobby Ruf- fin.
 It is that left hand which Larkin has to overcome if he hopes to be successful tonight. Joyce has other assets-speed, courage, great recup- erative powers. But 1t is the left hand which most impresses itself on those fans who see Joyce in &C., tion. He yields that weapon with a talent unequalled by anyone in box ing today.
 Larkin, to be sure, is also a boxer of considerable skill. He also enjoys punching power which Joyce does not possess. Larkin has a straight right which he throws with speed, accuracy, and force. But Willie Joyce has never been knocked out in his long career and only one fighter Williams-was even able to floor him.

TAYLOR GOES
 AGAINST SUB
 BASE COMBINE

It will be Johnny Taylor against Gene Junior" Thompson at the Municipal Stadium tomorrow night when the Brasscos tangle with the New London Sub Base at 8:45 at the Municipal Stadium tomorrow night.
 Winners of Is of IS contests to date, the locals will be at full strength in hopes of upsetting the high riding Sub Base club and Mgr. Fred Davi has nominated Taylor, the New York Cuban mound ace to take the hill against the New Londoners. A war worker in Hart ford, his native city, Taylor pitches for the Cubans during their home stay in New York and when the club hits the road for the western tour of its American Colored league swing, the rangy speedball artist divides his time between the locals and the Savitt Gems of Hartford.
 Taylor's adversary tomorrow will probably be Gene (Junior) Thonp- son, former mound artist of the Cin- cinnati Reds of the National league although It. Jimmy Gleeson may send either Arnold Anderson, for mer Washington Senator chucker or the Brooklyn Dodgers Al Sterer against the BraSscos. Tony Ar1- selmo, property of the Sacramento club of the Pacific Coast looop will do the catching.
 Ex-Big Leaguers
 The Sub Base lineup will include such stars as Syg Gryska, former St. Louis Brown infielder; Eddie Skladany, ex-University of Pitts burgh All-American football star who was up with the Chicago White Sox at the time he enlisted in the service; Ray Excl, who made baseball and basketball history at the University of Minnesota; Nor man Jeager, ex-Jersey City Giant first sacker; and others and should give the Brasscos plenty of trou- ble.
 Mgr. Davi will have Gus Dugas Lefty Mickey DeLucia, W1litey Piu- rek, Johnny DeVito, the Alfone brothers, Andy Santillo, Pete Pies trak and others in the lineup. The largest crowd of the season is ex- pected to see the attraction.

Nelson Lucky
 In Canada
BY L. J. ROGERS United Press Staff CorreSnonde

 Toronto, Aug. B. (UP) - Byron Nelson had luck alone to thank today for being in his accustomed spot as low pro after the opening round of the $1o0o0 Canadian open.
 He shared the lead with viv Chez 6. veteran Deal, N. J., pro, who l has been out of military service only about three weeks. Both had two under par 68's, but Nelson re- quired two miracle shots to get his. On the 445-yard fourth hole his drive arched toward a creek, but instead of hitting the water, it struck a narrow foot-bridge and bounded 75 yards further toward the green. Actually he got greater distance than if the ball had land ed on the fairway. His second shot tor the book" was on the 575-yard a4th hole when he hit tremendous approach that landed on the green and he holed his putt for an eagle three.
 At times his game was a little unsteady and he appeared to be q little less sharp to close observ- CTS who have seen him win the top money in his last 10 P.G.A. sanctioned tournaments.
 Hefty Willie Goggin, a veteran from White Plains, N. Y, was third with a par 70, while Ed Furgol, Detroit amateur recently turned pro, shot Il to finish fourth. Uurgol now plays out of Utica, N. Y.
 Eur players, including amateur 8fed Haas of New Orleans, had 52s. The others were Stan Leon- ard of Vancouver, B. C., Jimmy Hines of Chicago, and Herman Bar ron of White Plains.
 Craig Wood of Mamoroneck, N. Y, Che duration U. s. Open champion, led group at 73 which included Joe zarhardt of Norristown, Pa, Harold McSpaden of Sanford, Maine, Virgil Shreeve of Millsbrae, Calif., Len Harmon of Knowton, Que. and Dick Borthwick of Toronto.
