You will ‘be amazed at the number and will begin to think it one of the most important subjects before the public eve. The federal ggvernment has its children’s bureau, the states have their health leagues, and the cities everywhere are maintaining school : doctors and nurses, tuberculosis nurses, visiting nurses, milk stations and a few dental clinics. Are we in New. Briatin awake on this subject? Do you know what welfare nurses? Do you know what was accomplished through our milk station? If you do not know, inquire and then spread the goods news that New Britain is very much alive and is doing excellent work through their eflicient welfare nurses. Already there are in our city many mothers who are grateful for the wise advise and kindly ministration which did so | much for their bables last summer. But ours is not merely a summer af- fair. We in New Britain do not wait for the hot summer to bring sickness but we keep on all the year helping thus to keep down epidemics of measles, whooping-cough and pneu- monia. . Don’t you want to have a part in this good work? Every cent that is contributed is put to goodness and will prove a good investment for a healthier city. » WOMEN’S AID OFFICERS. ‘The Woman's Aid society of the First Baptist church held its annual meeting yesterday afternoon in the church pariors.

Los Angeles, Cal., March 8.—The ‘West won the first match, in the men’s doubles, of the opening play of the East vs. the West tennis tour- nament here today. Maurice E. McLoughlin and Willis E. Davis, representing the West, de- feated Theodore Roosevelt Pell and Bernon S. Prentice, representing the East, three straight sets. Twenty- two games were required. to decide the first set and the play of both teams was about even, but the West- erners developed better team work in th second and third sets and won without difficulty. The score was 12-—10; 6—4; 6—3. McLoughlin’s playing wes the feat- ure of the match. He used his ter- rific overhand smashes to advantage in a number of instances, while his ‘partner, Davis, used his backhand stroke effectively. Pell's playing was the better for the Easterners and his service was especially effective. Both teams played a driving game and the players seldom resorted to lobbing. The special mixed doubles match was won easily by Miss Bjurstedt and George M. Church, of the East, who defeated Mrs. Sutton Bundy and Thomas C. Bundy, of the West, two straight sets. Church played a fast game and appeardd to be in excellent condition, while Bundy was slow. ‘Willilam M. Johnston and John R. Strachan, both of San Francisco, closed the play with an exhibition singles match, which the former won in two straight sets. A large crowd 287 264 247 witneased the contests. 94— 262 | & A Man at Home Whose Time is Worth Money DECIDE S SPORTDOM SPARKLERS de C. B.

There is nothing so appealing to a player as his first game of the year even though it is intraclub warfare. It was so warm and bright this morning that Bill Donovan decided to put on the first practice game of the year, and the boys went at it with lots of vim. They chattered like a score of magpies, Frits Maisel and Angel Ara- gon exercising their - tongues even ‘mere than .their arms. The Hff was stubbornly fought, and ended in a six inning 2 to 2 draw. The Yanigans were within one strike of a 2'to 1 victory, but it was necessary that that strike be curved over on Frank Baker. Slim Love had two out in the second half of the sixth, Magee was on'second and two strikes were called on the Trappe Mauler. Baker met the next pitched ball solidly and drilled a healthy single over second, his' first hit of 1917, and Lee Magee ran home with the tieing run. It should comfort Slim Love to know that several vears back one strike stood between Chris Mathewson and a 1 to 0 world’s series victory. It also was essential that this strike reach the catcher before Baker swung, ‘but history records that the pitch which was intended for the third strike landed somewhere in the righ fleld stand. . \ [ bo GOLDFISH DECIDES To TAKE ANOTHER SNooz & —— JIH THORPE BEGINS” | 10 WALLOP BALL odan Ontelder Pounds i | | Vs Olongs . | Mprlin, Tex., March s.—l‘ep‘r; v continued his policy ‘of lning up: two, select outfits' consisting chiefly - of rookies In a short gume yesterday.

Albany, March 8—=Supporters in the legislature of boxing are mlki;n‘ a hard fight against Governor Whit- man’s effort to abolish the sport. A coterie of senators on the senate judi- clary committes have succeeded for the last two weeks in preventing a favorable report on the Slater bill to repeal the boxing law. At a meeting of the committee yesterday these men decided to ask Governor Whitman to modify his stand against pugilistic ‘bouts.

Dickering over leases has been one of the principat causes for the present boxing law: scandal, this suggestion is |nmn4:d. to remove that evil. The senators will endeavor to per- suade the governor by offering to glve the attorney general broad con- trol over the amount of purses for bouts, power to reduce the number: of rounds, and to bring about the ap- * pointment of a commission of such: high class. men as will raise the preg- ent standard of the sport. ‘The boxing advocates say they do. not want a return to;the abuses of . the old club membership days, but.
