And with that, Daphne's ram.

was DR.. Stephan Fenwick. "Jncll

On him and his matrimonial

Professor, DR.. Joseph Lister,
found that he could stop putrifac-
ton, or surgical gangrene, by the
application Of carbolic acid to sur
gical wounds.
To mcmorialize the anniversary
there has been published a biogra-
ply of Joseph Lister, Father Of
Modern Surgery, by Rhoda TruaX
published by Bobbs-Merrill Coz.
1t is the first popular full length
biography of Lister designed to be
understood and read by the lay
man. The story it tells must surely
be of vital interest to every mod
ern man and woman.

gerry was born under Listers d.
rection. 1 said it came to maturity.
The most important problem of
surgery was to render the patient
~insensible to pain during an opera
tion-anaesthesia. That was also
the subject Of an anniversary last
month with the celebration of
Horace Wells use of nitrous oxide
OF laughing gas. But we described
that yesterday.

Control of Infection

It is difficult for a modern to
realize the condition in early 1865
before Listers discovery. Sur
geons had learned to control haze
morrhage and they could put pa
tients to sleep for a surgical pro-
cedure. Ether, nitrous oxide and
chloroform had all been intro
duced. But whenever the surgeons
knife touched a part Of the body,
infection occurred - suppuration,
the formation of pus and finally
gangrene-hospital gangrene it
was called.
No surgeon in those days dared
open an abdomen, a chest, a brain
cavity, dared operate on disease
at all~Nonly accidents and wounds.

 New York, July 16.-(UP)-Usuai- ly someone else tells a baseball player when he's through when it's time for him to quit the game. But Edward Joseph Mayo pronounced his own diamond obituary on Sept. !, 1943. That was the dismal day n which the last-place Philadel- ,hia Athletics traded him to Louis He of the American Association.
 Infielder Mayo of the taffy hair figured he wouldn't even report to Louisville. He decided that he would quit baseball and concentrate upon his small dairy business in Clifton, N. J. He thought his case was hopeless, as far as competitive baseball was concerned. He knew or thought he knew-that he was blinded in one eye.
 All during the 1943 season with Come Mack's As he had fought against that blind spot in his lefs eye-with little success. He wound uc with .219 batting average. he eve wouldn't function, after being struck by a pitched ball in spring exhibition game. It suffered a re-

tinal hemorrhage, muscular rup- lures, etc.
 Eddie Mayo was the most sur- prised man in baseball when. on Nov. 1 of that year (1943) he was drafted by the Detrot Tigers. He said to himself, T guess Detroit doesn't know what it's getting; I don't believe I'll even report for spring training. Why should bur- den the Tigers?'
 Then the miracle happened. Dur ing that 'f-season, the left eye sud- denly responded to the treatment 1t had been receiving throughout the summer with the Athletics. It be- gan to work okay; the blinde spot disappeared. So he tooK another shot at big-time baseball.
 Eddie Mayo did well in his first season with the Tigers, last year. He won the job as regular second baseman with the Bengals. He performed excellently afield and wound up with fair batting mark O. .249. He had no eye trouble.
 And this season he really went to town. He became the spark plug and tho main spring of the Tiger team as it entered its robust bid for the American league pennant, which it missed so narrowly in A Many other names have been men, toned in connection with the Tig- CTS success; but manager Steve O'Nejll says, Mayo is the clubs key man." And Detroit baseball writers travelling with the club agree heartily with stout Steve.
 Mayo, first genuine regular at De- troits second base since the great Charlie Gehringer, has sparked the Tigers surprising effectiveness with the double play. Meanwhile he has been doing his other fielding chores like a berserk rabbit: and he has been hitting consistently for a mark of about 288.
 After the Tigers defeat by the Yankees on a swampy field yester- day, a reporter questioned Mayo in the Yankee Stadium locker room. How come he was such a ball of fire this year?
 The slender, weather-lined vet eran of 32 said, T guess it's be- cause I'm backing up more at bat and in the field"
 Backing up?
 "Yes," Mayo explained, I've changed my stance, so that I'm standing back further from the plate. This gives me better look at the ball. And I'm playing many of the opposition batters much far- ther back on the grass-30 or 40 feet. I'm playing them back far ther than any other second base man in the league. This enables me to cover much more territory. You see, figure that the first base- man and the pitcher can handle

above all, for in the four previous times he had been in the finals of this golfing classic he had won only once-in 1940 at Hershey. Pa.
 Byrd shot a five-under-par 67 on the morning round for two-up lead and for momen it looked like Nelson was to be denied. He long before had dropped the nerveless, expressionless type of play which has earned him the monicker of the mechanical man.
 JitterS
 Byrd, who had the crowd of 5000 behind him, went three-up on the 21st hole. Nelson came back to make it two-up and then Byrd missed a four-foot putt on the 18th to drop to a one-hole lead. He came down with the jitters after that, missing another four-footer on the next hole as Nelson evened the match. That actually was the end, although the official score lists it 4 and on the 33rd hole.
 Nelson was eight under par for the day to Byrd's two-under- par shooting. For the complete seven- day tournament, Nelson was 37 strokes under par for 204 holes compared to Byrd's 15-under-par for 197 holes.

GOLF PROS NOW ADMIT NELSON
 ALL-TIME BEST
BY WALTER BYERS United Press Staff Correspondent

Dayton, O., July 16-(UP)-By- ron Nelson of Toledo, O., was acc claimed by most of his fellow jour- neynnen today as the greatest golfer the game has ever known.
 Such golfing veterans as Denny Shute, former British open cham pion; Craig Wood, duration na- tional open titlist, and Fred Cor coran, tournament manager of the Professional Golfers Association to mention a few-all were strong in their stand that regardless of Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and the immortal Harry Vardon-Nel- son is the all-time tops.
 Nelson, now B and a veteran of 12 years of professional tourna- ment golf, climaxed the greatest winning streak in the history of the sport yesterday by beating Sam my Byrd of Detroit, and 3, to win the 27th national P. G. A. tournament.
 In doing it, he left Byrd's dreams of eight years scattered over the Rolling Moraine Country club course. Yet Byrd today was one of the first of Nelson,s fellow pro- fessionals to rank him as the great est.
 "They talk about Nelson's woods and his irOns," Byrd said. But he is without a doubt the greatest put ter I've ever seen and when you add that to all the other attributes you arrive at one conclusi0n-he's the best"
 Corcoran, who has seen them all, concurred. So have Shute and Wood in the past.
 In winning the P. G. A. a second time, Nelson kept alive his record of eight straight major individual tournament victories. Nelson also has won II championships so far this year as well as $31, 500, count ing the 5000 he gained yesterday.
 Nelson beat tough man in Byrd, for the 38-year-old Detroit pro was trying for a goal-the one he set eight years ago when he quit baseball to become profes- sional golfer. But Byrd gave way as most of them do-to Nelson's magnificent finish.
 Byrd's roundhouse swing out drove Nelson consistently by 50 yards and he even matched the celebrated Nelson iron game, But on the greens, Byrd bowed to the wizardry of man who had al- ways been considered 8 mediocre butter.
 In the B holes of their scheduled 36-hole match, Nelson one-putted 16 greens. Byrd one-putted eight.
 Nelson wanted to win this one

 Eagle has never been knocked out. Neither has Mauriello who has stopped all but 20 of 61 opponents in his pro career. Eagles natural strangeh, superb condition, boxing ability and punch Che can hit plenty hard) will provide a problem for Mauriello, that is attractive enough to bring out $7,500 to $10,- 900 worth of fight fans from many parts of Connecticut and some from New York where Mauriello has a heavy following in the Bronx. Both Boxed Nova
 Of their records against 8 com- mon foe, Lou Nova of Los Angeles, met by both Eagle and Mauriello within the past six weeks, the New Yorker, who stopped Nova in two rounds figures a strong favorite over Eagle. However, Waterbury Charley conceded Nova no less than 25 pounds and Nova could not stop him; having been in bad shape in the fourth round when Eagle had Nova bleeding over one eye and under the other. Tonight, Eagle will spot" Mauriello about 15 pounds; 183 against 1e8. All of the local wagering on the bout con- cerns whether or not Eagle can 'go the limit, and if not, how many rounds he will last against the hard-hitting New Yorker.
 Good "Gate"?

Mauriello came to Waterbury Saturday night, said he was in fine condition and would try for a knockout against Eagle. He was then taken to the home of Bristol relatives for dinner. but was due back today in time to weigh-in about l p. m. Eagle has wound up training at the Boys Club, scaled l8l Saturday and will be about 183 at ringside tonight. He has plenty of confidence; especially in the fact that he can stand up against Mau- riello to the limit of the bout as he has against 200 other opponents since 1883.
 Four Prelims
 Two Waterbury lads, Bobby San Souci of the North End and John ny DelGrado of Brooklyn will open the show in their first professional bout, a four rounder.
 Tony Gillo, New Haven, and Ed die Silva of Boston are apt to pro- vide the 'show-stealer" in 8 six round preliminary. Fillo, though sell dom winner, is a great entertain once he gets those gloves on. Billy Walker of New York and Johnny Rice of Stamford are billed for a six round heavyweight duel, while the two spar-mates of the principals; Sal Brandino of New York and Dula kovach of Naugatuck meet in a six round semi-f1nal.
