SUNDAY, OCTOBHR 21, 1974 Mononucleoisis Vaccine Breakthrough Reported BY KEVIN Me KHAN AP Science Writer NEW YORK (AP) An important step towards making a vaccine to fight infectious mononucleosis--the so-called "kissing disease among teenagers has been reported by a Harvard Medical School researcher. Scientists are anxious for such a vaccine because the virus which causes mononucleosis may also be the cause of two types of cancer. Dr David I horley-l awson of the Sidney Karber Cancer Institute said this week he has purified a vaccine-like substance that makes rabbits produce antibodies against the virus that causes the disease, a lingering illness of teenagers and young adults. Ihorley Lawson, a biochemist, said the rabbit antibodies neutralize the virus when it is grown in human cells in a test tube. If further tests succeed, the substance would become a strong candidate for a human vaccine for the widespread ailment.

Mononucleosis is caused by a germ called the Epstein-Barr virus, named for the two British scientists who isolated it in 19M. Besides causing mononucleosis. it is also believed to help cause two kinds of cancer hich bedroom. January 10, 3:15 a.m. are widespread in oped countries.

One of these is Burkitt's lymphoma, the most common childhood cancer in central Africa. The other is nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a nose cancer common in southern hina that kills 65 percent of its victims within five years Scientists believe almost every member of the human race- including those in developed countries like the United States becomes infected with Ep- slein-Barr virus at some time in life. Children who get it usually don't show any symptoms. But teen-agers and young adults get a fever, sore throat and general malaise that hangs on for weeks. Once a person gets Epstein Barr virus, he carries small but measurable amounts of it in his body for the rest of his life.

But he is protected against further (lareups by his own immune system. The hope is that a vaccine would stimulate the immune system to make antibodies in advance of infection Boxer Lost Final Round By WAYNE SLATER iatcd Preas Writer KEWANEH.

Everybody knew he was a has been wandering around ith his wrinkled raincoat flapping in the wind and old fight pictures under his arm. Everybody knew that his manager had bungled his career and taken his money. "I was sold down the river." Stuhley said, contending until the he died that his manager had urged him to throw fights for quick money and promised title chances that never came.

"He was one of the best," Yit Anderson said sadly as heads nodded up and down the bar at the Pioneer Club on Whiskey Row. "But he was an unhappy person. He lived in the past." Nobody here believes Stuhley just ended it all by taking a dive in front of a train. He was their champion. "There was no tank dive here." said Julian Wila GEARING FOR PROGRESS What make a community great?

Pal and Stuhley grew up together and boxed together at the Grand theater and the Dreamland Dance Hall in Kew anne, a roaring tow in the 1920s.

Jack a German immigrant baker, dreamed that his sons, Hayden and Paul, would become champions in the ring. "When the boys fought, people would throw money in the yard to show their appreciation for a said George Lilly. "Young Stu hley was the fastest thing you ever saw," Stuhley lost only two amateur fights before turning pro in then rang up a string of 51 straight wins before losing to Kid Leonard in Iowa. In a rematch, he beat the Kid in 10 rounds. In his 12 years as a profession al, Stuhley won 102 of 121 fights, but none was a title bout.

The highlight of his career came in 1934 when he beat Vince Dundee, the reigning middleweight champ, in a bruising 10-round affair in Chicago. How they cheered him that night! Mills Stadium was lit up like a bonfire and the crowd screamed itself hoarse at the sight of glamorous young ley and his electrifying left jab The light of the universe shone on him that night and afterward. He had a movie star's face, with a fineboned nose, a Roman chin, hair slicked back like Valentino and great black sad eyes. A Los Angeles sportswriter called him "the gent with the Clark Gable profile." He sported S200 suits and big white Panama hats, surrounded himself with a flashy entourage and attended Hollywood parties He made a couple of film shorts with J. Carrol Naish.

"In the 1930s, at the height of his career, he was a star, a hero, a person who had the idolatry that attends big shots." said Wilamowski. "He was always impeccably dressed, always wore a red carnation in his lapel, and when he walked down the street with his beautiful body, kids would flock to him." Stuhley said later he probably squandered a million dollars, no small part of it in the string of bars known as Whiskey Row, where drinks for friends" were always on ley One day he walked into a greasy spoon restaurant by accident and announced, as always, "Drinks arc on Stuhlev!" "This ain't no bar, the owner said. "This is a hamburger joint." Stuhley paused only briefly, then threw out his arms as if to embrace the room. "Hamburgers for everybody!" he cried. He would stride dow Tremont Street, his pockets filled with silver dollars that he would give to children.

"He'd say, kid. remember Stuhley. Remember said Teddy Canellos, ho used to shine shoes on the street. "He looked like downtown Chicago right here in Ke- wannee." When a friend expressed doubt that Stuhley was really invited to a Hollywood party at George Raft's house, he phoned Raft so the friend could hear it straight from the actor. He always carried a picture signed by Bing Crosby, who came to the dressing room after a fight and follow ed Stu hley's career for a time.

But the money ran out and fame dimmed. He was drafted in 1941. When he returned to Kewanee a few years later, few remembered him. He could not deal with it. He drank heavily and developed a reputation as a brawler.

Few bars escaped his rampages. On the night he died, the bartender said had enough. Stuhley shuffled away, past the welding shop and the redbrick firehouse, toward the railroad tracks and home. Those ho saw him say he had boxing, not death, on his mind. Ringing in his brain, they believe, was the night he beat Dundee.

They say he must have heard cheering, the thunder of the crowd all around him, screaming itself hoarse, screaming his name. Mills Stadium was ablaze again and the street lamps glimmered and a cueball moon rolled in the skv. The neons on Whiskey Row blazed like the headlights of the roaring freight. blazing like the light of the universe. A few minutes before midnight, Stuhley stepped onto tracks.
