Following the retirement OF Jem
Mace, holder of the worlds title,
the British title was in abey-
and Jack Davis met for it, with
Smith a victor. Peter Jackson, Of
Australia, took the English title from
Smith in 1883. In 1891 Jim Corbett
fought a draw with Jackson in 81
rounds and. failing to get another
bout with Corbett, Jackson went to
England and defeated Frank SIavin
in ten rounds at the National Sport
ing Club This gave him the British
and Australian championships. He
left England shortly after that. be-
ing unable to get a match with Char
lie Mitchell. Thus the British title
lasped until 1906
Bob FitZsimmOns won the Ameri-
can title from Jim Corbett. who had
taken it from Sullivan. conqueror Of
Paddy Ryan. Jim Jeffries defeated
Peter Jackson on March %. 1898 in
three rounds at San Francisco.
Jackson, a mere shell Of his former
self, was at that time still holder OF
the British and Australian champion
ships. Therefore, when Jeffries
knocked out FitzsimmOns in nine
rounds at Coney Island, June 3. 1898,
he became the worlds champion.
Burns Becomes Champion.
When Jenries retired. both the
worlds and the American titles
lasped. Tommy Burns defeated lot
OF poor opponents and won the
American title. When he knocked
out "Boshter" Bill Squires. he be-
came the possessor of the Australian
title as well.
When Peter Jackson left England
the British heavyweight title lapsed
until 1906. Then Gunner Muir and
Jack Palmer fought for il. Moir win
ming. Three years later Iron Hague
defeated NOR for the title, and in
1911 Bombardier Wells won il from
Hague. A few months ago Joe Sec
kett, now being groomed for stab
at the worlds hOnors held by Jack
Dempsey, won the British crown from
Wells and recently successfully de-
Tended ii against Frank Goddard.
Burns. holder of the American and
Australian titles, became worlds
titleholder when he won from Gun
ner Moir in England. Moir was then
the British champion. Therefore,
when Jack Johnson defeated Burns
in fourteen rounds at Sydney, New
South Wales, on December &c, 1905.
he became worlds champion.

the District Health Department yes

to Introduce the substitute for gen.

Dr. John Z. Norris. acting health

the food and drug law
The regulations provide that no sac
charine shall be used by manufacturers

these laws by soda establishments,

cuted. said DR.. Norris.
Housewives who-care to make use
of the substitute at their own risk are
privileged to do so, he said. as the law
does not apply to private consumers.
However. DR.. Norris said. continued
