terestiRE Stories of Teeth Losses.


From the New York World.
In every fight Jack Johnson wears that
famous golden SMILE To those who
don't understand I'll explain that Jacks
smile is literally golden. He has a gold
mine in his front teeth and shows it
whenever he grins. From my limited
mining experience. I might estimate that
Jacks teeth would assay about 100000
in gold to the ton.
Jack is very proud OF his gold teeth.
They cost him lot Of money. But he's
no more proud than Bob Fitzsimmons is
of his diamOnd-studded worries. Years
ago Bob had diamonds set wherever there
was space TO set one. Should he ever fall
among cannibals his teeth would make
one of the most attractive necklaces ever
worn by a duslly island queen.
They tell some funny stories about
fighters and their teeth. There was Sailor
Tom Sharkey, for instance. When Tom
was a wild sailor just ashore from Phila-
delphia he fought Joe Choynski. Twice
Joe lifted Thomas Off his feet with ter
rife right-hand swings and knocked him
over among the spectators. After that
fight some ono told Sharkey that he'd
never be knocked out if he had his back
teeth removed, as thered be nothing 20
communicate tho shock OF the blow to
the brain i'm that case. Tom rushed 10 a
dentist and had the job artistcaIly at

him out. Bob hit him in the solar plexus.
Thus do the best laid plans gang aft

Jack Dougherty having the Sharkey
incident in mind. confded the same infor-

Leach Cross is a tooth specialist. He

in real money IL the men will settle their
differences IN England. Mcintosh is said
20 have secured an option on the Olympia

twenty rounds are permitted In England,
it IS safe to say that Mcintosh will not
get the mill unless he gets special per-

The Props defeated the Georgetown
