During his long career in the ring Mace fought over 500 bouts, and he was only twice defeated, once by King and on another occasion by Bob Brettle. lem always said both defeats were dukes, and it is true that he later easily defeated Brettie, while King refused to fight him again.
 The 1862 bout which made Mace undisputed champion for the time was fought in a ring pitched on the turf, and 9 heavy rain fell throughout most of the battle. FootWork was Mace's strong point. and the mire of the ring greatly interfered with his speed. At one time Mace slipped and hung clutching Kings waistband. Tom had the right to strike, and Mace was at his mercy, but he refused to win in that manner. and helped lem to his feet
 Another time both slipped and fell in the mud, and while down patted each other on the back and shook hands, in mutual admiration. Mace had a bit the worst of it during the early part of the battle, but King grew very tired, and Mace. in the forty second round, staggered King with a blow to the neck and then threw him down. That finished the battle.

BOXING NOTES

 Rr0NEm st00 was in good shape, but not spsssfrpnE, as when he s fought AFeh egAn Mccoy used his .cleverness against the Yankee to good effect and kept out of harms way at times by good footwork- He was satisfied to- win on points. Brown made a. des- perate effort to land a knockout in the fourteenth round. but he tired himself and. could not keep it up in the following sessions. He was there at the bell in the twentieth round, fighting as strongly as when he start ed and when it ended he turned a Handspring to show that he was fresh to continue if wanted. Pal had no complaint to make about his loss of the verdict. but stated that he con- sidered Mccoy a superior lightweight to Mehegan. Through it all Brown proved himself a. real fighter and al- though Hughey Mehegan scored a shade decision over him in their sec
 ond meeting he feels confident that he can whip both Hughey and Mccoy when he meets them again. Pal had trained with Owen Moran for his
 match. (yvho. left him in the lurch) and also with Johnny Summers, who baked on meeting him, so the chances are that he was not at his best when

 The report that Georges Carpentier, the French cham pion, is going to Aus tralia for one month, means that the vanquisher of Bombardier Wells will draw down close to $3O,000 for his end, and in a match against a middle weight in all probability. Only ten days ago Carpenter was offered $25,- 900 to make the trip for one match and he declined. Later he received another offer from Snowy Baker and it is a good bet that 1t must have been near the $30.0O0 mark, which, | with an extra expense of $1,500 to | $2,00o for boat passage, will bring the l total cost of the match up to over $40,00o. as McGoorty eff he should be the man) will not accept unless he | gets a good slice for his end. And if | 1t happens to be McGoorty, don't be | surprised if the Badger boy hands | the Frenchnaan a whipping.

The Washington times., 1914-07-28


The ancient Persians, Egyptians. and
Romans must have known how to make
ice and to use cold storage. for they
had dainties and delicacies from all the
corners OF the globe. In such torrid
climates such victualary novelties would
have been impossible unless refrigera-
ton had been in use.
II Is known that in 1854, iced drinks
supposedly American, hygienic OF
anti-hygienic measure-were a Common
table necessity in France. Yet just two
years ago the International Cold Stor-
age Association opened a public sub
scription for Charles Teller, of Paris,
who was then eighty-four years old,
as the djscoverer Of refrigeration.
At tine present time there are more
than 5000. 100000 worth of foodstuffs
placed each year in cold storage. One
half Of this is meat and fowl. Prod
ucts that were perishable in days
a-gone. which caused Joseph to build
granaries in ancient Egypt to avoid the
lean years, are now guarded by science
in appropriate refrigerators.
With the change from the theory OF
bacteriology to the proved science of
bacteriology. 1t was learned that decay
In foods Is always due to microbes.
These tiny creatures are held in sterile
abeyance at icy temperatures
Since preseryatives and the destruc-
tive germs of heat often injure the COM
missariat, as much as they head of
decomposition, Ii Is obvious that frigid
temperatures are more to be desired
than the other methods.
Unluckily. even cold storage. like an
iced mint tulep. has its felonies and
misdemeanors, its dangers and draw
backs.
The water in the tissues evaporates.
and the material shrivels. The fat
under the influence of light air, and
oxygen is, after some months. burned
into acids. Furthermore, the few non-
growing bacteria still present effect a
few changes in the frozen foodstufrs.
Any victuals not fresh placed In cold
storage will necessarily be Dad wher
removed.
No drawn" poultry should be pur-
chased IL previously kept thus. Poultry
can only be hygienically stored un-
drawn.
Foods that come from cold storage de-
compose more rapidly than fresh foods
This Is due to the fact that the phys
ique" and makeup of the refrigerated
ration has been so changed by freezing
that 1t Is more accessible to bacterial
invasion.
in Greater New York Is about 100, 00o ool
pounds. Yet there are only about 700,
90 pounds kept in that neighborhood in
cold storage.

tragic cyclone. shipping disaster. or
other cataclysm IL cold storage facili-
ties are not augmented, may well be
