JACKSON HOLDS
4 RECEPTION
Many Fans at Athletic Park to
Watch Training of Pie
Lover.

Nigel jackson was in his element yes
terday morning In due course of prep
aration for the big match Marathon
to be run at the Athletic Park next
Sunday afternoon with Tsukamoto, the
Japanese champion, he did several miles
round the track in the morning and
afterwards held public reception in
his dressing rooms, where he was visited
and complimented by several hundred
admirers and fans.
While the Oahu Junior league was
having its two baseball games Jackson
was trotting round the track under the
careful supervision of his trainers. He
was forbidden to count the laps he
made and was called down in most
pronounced way every time he tried to
sprint.
There is no getting round it. Old
Nige sure does like to do fast sprint
when there is anybody looking and,
every time he tried this on, he was
loudly cheered by the fans in the
bleachers. When the cheering subsidized,
however, there would be heard the stem
torian tones of Bill Chiffon who, in no
restrained terms told Jackson to be a
good dog and run the way he was
told to.
Neither time nor distance was given
out but this would not give any inform
alton as Jackson was held down to a
slow gait all the way. He had the
services of a new trainer and rubber
today, Kid Franklin, Coast pugilist
and athlete. Jackson states that he
was never massaged by man who
seems to know more about his business.
He Fell from Grace.
Whisper it not along the Rialto, tell
it not at the corner of Fort and King,
but Jackson broke away from the
sleuths yesterday afternoon and had
real meal.
Said Jackson as he sat down to the
restaurant table and smiled urbanely
on the waiter: "No more raw beef for
me today. No pint of warm ale, no, sir.
Start with this thick soup, then bring
me fish, then both kinds of salad. Some
turkey sauce with small steak then a
| big cut of roast beef, well done, mind
YOU. well done Then I will have some
pineapple fritters and finally a double
order of PEACH PIE and bring large
| chunk of cheese with the pie.'
| Seated where he could scan all pass
ers-bv and those who entered the res
| taurant and with a side door close by
so that he could make hasty escape
| if necessary, Jackson sat and ate. Not
| quickly nor gluttonously but slowly
and carefully. He pondered over each
| delectable mouthful, he Fletcherized tc
perfection and, when the last sweet
morsel of pie had dropped down his
guilty oesophagus, he sighed with con
tent and went straight home to sleep g
large and comfortable sleep.
Recovered from Cold
Tsukamoto has entirely recovered
from the slight cold he had last weel
and is running in splendid shape. Ev
cry day he runs he seems to tear of
the distance in better style He really
has a perfect action. His stride il
absolutely natural. He does not try Il
lengthen it but keeps up the same pae'
all the time, with his legs moving a
just the same speed at all the stage'
of the game, until he sprints at thu
finish.
Both men will do their hardest worl
| between now and Thursday when the,
will let up and fine down to almost al
entire rest on Saturday. Starting to
} day Jackson will have no chance t.
get at the pie again. The lapsus o
last night was winked at by his man
: ager, as he thought the small debaucl
of grub would do the man good b,
relieving the monotony of the train
ing table. In this he was doubles
