Hopkins tried to do just that and he was having some mild success. But in the eighth round Smith caught him on the ropes, pummeled him and knocked him through the ropes and out of the ring, Smith winning by technical knockout in the light heavyweight main event before 6,513 at the Fabulous Forum.
Smith, ranked as high as No. 2 in the world, is 23-1 with 19 knockouts, this one coming 53 seconds into the round. The ring announcer said Hopkins could not continue because of injury, which was his right ankle. By rule, Hopkins had 20 seconds to get back into the ring. He could not.

Hopkins had 20 seconds to climb back into the ring after spilling under the second rope, but he injured an ankle on the fall and was unable. Referee Jack Reiss waved the bout over, awarding Smith a technical-knockout victory 53 seconds into the eighth round in front of 6,513 at the Forum.

Appellants' alleged invention, as is apparent from the quoted claim, is for a leak-proof oil seal for a reciprocating piston rod. The seal comprises a flexible packing member, usually leather, having an axially extending bore which makes a close sliding fit with the piston rod. The forward edge of the packing is beveled externally to provide a thin annular lip. A ring is positioned over the piston rod with a clearance of less than 3/1000 of an inch and is provided with an internal bevel which is slightly larger than the bevel of the packing. The larger bevel of the ring, which is forced against the packing by a spring, holds the lip tightly against the outer surface of the rod. The spring which forces the ring against the packing is preferably a wave spring, which may be pretensioned to any degree. Appellants have submitted an affidavit in which it is stated that the seal is effective for pressures in excess of 5,000 pounds per square inch.
It is well established that radiation induces DNA damage and that G2 arrest is a crucial response to DNA damage in most cancer cells [80]. On the basis of the finding that RBX1 silencing triggers DNA double-strand breaks, leading to G2 arrest [70], it is conceivable that knockdown of RBX1 may sensitize otherwise resistant cancer cells to radiotherapy by redistributing them to G2, a more radiosensitive phase of cell cycle. This hypothesis is supported by our finding that RBX1 silencing indeed sensitizes human cancer cells to radiation [81]. The underlying mechanism for RBX1 silencing-mediated radiosensitization is likely attributable to the accumulation of DNA replication licensing proteins CDT1 and ORC1, two known CRL substrates [32], which leads to DNA double-strand breaks, DNA damage response, and G2 arrest, rendering cancer cells more sensitive to radiation [81].

(Jackson Herald, Friday, 15 May 1942) Cemeteries Moved An estimated 200 hundred graves, many of them covered with tall grasses, and forgotten, will be moved at government expense to make way for the $55,000,000 TNT plant being constructed north of Point Pleasant. The graves lie in seven old cemeteries scattered over the 8,000 acre tract for the plant which will be known as the West Virginia Ordnance works, situated in the Robinson district. All will be moved to a single new burial ground on Lock Lane road, off West Virginia State Route 62. The site includes the old BENNETT-KNOB cemetery, which is of historical interest by reason of the interment of Dr. Jesse BENNETT, a pioneer surgeon credited with performing the first cesarean operation in America. The cemeteries include: Eva RICE cemetery: A burial ground near the Oldtown-Dixie road. It holds three unmarked graves, and there may be others, as there is no known record of when it was established or when the last interment occurred. The STEWART cemetery: Established about 1800, it contains approximately 75 graves of which only 17 have headstones. This cemetery is located on Musgrave road. The SOMERVILLE cemetery: Located on the Oldtown road, on the Effie SOMERVILLE farm. Established in 1874, it holds 15 graves, 11 of them marked. The last interment occurred in 1913. The VANMETER cemetery: Also situated on the Dixie road. Established in 1850, it is estimated to hold 20 graves, of which only seven have headstones. The Cherry cemetery: Oldtown-Dixie road on the C. B. Thompson farm. This, apparently a family cemetery, was established in 1873 and contains only two graves, only one of them marked. The Nanny B. HOGG cemetery: Oldtown-Dixie and Musgrave roads. Established in 1837, it holds approximately 75 graves. Among the headstones, six are very old but in unusually good condition and probably will be moved to the new burial ground. The HAWKINS cemetery: On Morning Star road, on the E. J. and C. G. Somerville farm. Established about 1878, it contains 12 graves, 8 of which are marked, the last burial occurred in 1901. Besides these, there are several cemeteries on the TNT plant site, but will not be in the way of buildings and will not be moved. All these will be fenced. The land acquisition section of the War department, which has charge of moving the graves, has requested that descendants or relatives of those buried in the seven cemeteries get in touch with the office.

(Jackson Herald, Friday, 22 May 1942) Henry WEIGAND Henry WEIGAND, 50-year-old merchant at Letart, and Oshel ANDERSON, 16-year old youth of the same neighborhood, were instantly killed when the truck in which they were riding was struck by the fast southbound Baltimore and Ohio passenger train at a crossing in Letart about four o'clock Thursday afternoon. Circuit Clerk C. A. HILL, who was passing the scene at the time, was among the first persons to arrive at the wreck and assist railroad men to remove the wreckage from the front of the train which came to a stop something like six hundred feet beyond the point of the crash. Mr. HILL said that both ANDERSON's and WEIGAND's bodies were strewn along the track, badly mangled some distance from the point of the crash. He said there were no witnesses to the mishap and that residents of the village heard the crash but none of them saw the accident. The fast train does not stop there and for that reason was traveling at considerable speed. It was believed, however, that WEIGAND, who had purchased the truck only a few days before from C. M. BENNETT, of Cottageville, was driving since he had been learning to operate the truck, and that he had either stalled the engine on the crossing or drove directly into the path of the fast passenger train. The ANDERSON youth was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis ANDERSON, formerly of Ripley, but living on a farm near Letart at the present time. (Jackson Herald, Friday, 22 May 1942) Otho M. CROW Otho M.

(Jackson Herald, Friday 29 May 1942) Jacob BROWN The church bell will ring at Simpson Chapel in Grant district again this Sunday morning, but persons in that community will be reminded that the man who rang that bell for more than half a century is no more, and that a new sexton and steward has taken his place, because they will tell you that "Uncle Jake," the man who held that position year in and year out for more than fifty years is dead. The bell tolled for "Uncle Jake" Tuesday afternoon just as he had for more than fifty years tolled it for other of his friends and neighbors as their bodies were being borne to the church for final rites. Death came to the 83-year-old sexton, Jacob BROWN, known far and wide as "Uncle Jake," last Sunday night. He had been ill for a long time and the final summons had been expected. Last winter he spent considerable time in a Ripley hospital. There was little hope because of his age and the malady from which he suffered that he would survive for long. At the same time, Mrs. BROWN was ill in a hospital and she died four weeks ago and "Uncle Jake" remarked that he would follow before long and he did. A large crowd of his friends and neighbors, because he had no relatives except those by marriage, gathered at Simpson Tuesday afternoon to hear Rev. George CALTRIDER, the pastor of the church, pay a final tribute to "Uncle Jake" and then his body was taken to the cemetery nearby for interment. He had come to this section of Jackson County from Noble County, Ohio, like many of his neighbors. He was a young man then and spent the remainder of his life there. His first wife, Betty STALLINGS BROWN, was a church worker also, and more than a decade ago while on her way to the Simpson church one Sunday evening where a program was to be given in which she was to have a part, she suffered a severe heart attack and died suddenly. That was a shock to the community. Something like five years ago, "Uncle Jake" married again and his second wife preceded him in death. No children survive either marriage. (Jackson Herald, Friday, 29 May 1942) Jacob BROWN Jacob BROWN, son of John and Mary BROWN, was born March 7, 1859 in Monroe County, Ohio.

In later years, he was married to Jessie Irene WILLIS, who preceded him in death April 17, 1942. He was the father of (?) children, five sisters,(?) Barbara BLAIR, Catherine ROBBINS, Nancy Etta STALLINGS, Sarah Elizabeth WILLIAMS and Hester Ann BROWN, who have passed to the great beyond. He leaves four brother-in-laws. (Jackson Herald, Friday, 12 June 1942) Earl PROVINCE Earl PROVINCE was found dead at his home at Limestone Hill last Saturday evening about seven-thirty o'clock by members of his family when they returned home after being away for the day. Death had resulted from a shotgun wound to the chest, apparently self inflicted. Mr. PROVINCE, aged 44 years, was believed to have been alone at the home all day, his family having gone to Parkersburg about eight o'clock Saturday morning. When they returned they found him dead on the stairway of the home. Relatives could assign no reason for the act except that he had been in ill health for several months. The weapon used was a twelve gauge shotgun. He leaves his widow, Mrs. Dora PROVINCE, and many relatives and friends. The funeral services was held at the Limestone church on Tuesday morning and burial was in the cemetery there.

MAHONEY in charge and burial was in the church cemetery. Mrs. STEWART, who had undergone an operation at a Ripley hospital several days ago, died suddenly Saturday morning of a heart attack. She was recovering satisfactorily from the operation but all along a heart condition had aggravated her case and while it was believed the latter part of last week that she would survive, the attack came suddenly and she died within a short time. At the funeral services, Rev. MAHONEY read the following obituary: Goldie (UNRUE) STEWART, daughter of Julius and Mollie UNRUE, was born at Evans, WV., April 7, 1898 and departed this life May 23, 1942, aged 44 years, one month and 16 days.
