BILL. kROHN


sailor Jack Wood is the best man
have ever met" stated Billy Edwards,
champion ght-heavyweiellt, after he
and Jack had wrestled Tor two hours
and five minutes TO draw decision,
at Convention Hall last night.
The bout was a great contest. Both
men We're practically equally matched
in weight, skill, strength and speed.
Wood weighed in at l7O pounds, while
Edwards weighed in at l73 pounds.
Throughout the entire two hours and
five minutes, the grapplers We're at
each ether, getting hold after hold. and
each man breaking loose from the
ether when in dangerous positions.
The bout was conducted under Police
Gazette Rules, catch-as-catch-can
plan. Rolling falls did not count. Dur
ing the first hour OF the affray. Ed
wards seemed to have the uJpelnhand
in aggression, but although hSDhsed
the game, nevertheless. Jack always
managed to break loose from them. AT
ter the first hour, Wood was on tne
offensive, and Edwards performed
equally as well as his challenger in get
ting away from his opponents holds.
Wool possesses wonderful endurance.
At times ii appeared that Edwards
was ON the verge of pnnng Wood
down by twisting the latter's muscles
and limbs at angles which would nave
broken the bones of nine out of ten
normal men, but although Jack may
have been worried at times, neverthe-
less, he failed to display it. and with
lightning agility and practically in
tlescribable methods, he managed TO
break away from the painful holds
and Immediately applied retaliatory
methods to his opponent.
Edwards weak spot was in his toes.
Whenever the champ would get a
deadlock or scissors hold or in fact
any intricate mold, on Wood the lat
ter would but have to take hold OF
Edwards toe, and the champ was
forced to release him. 1t was humor-
Gus at times to note the expression on
Edwards face Nnen Jack took hold Cf
either of the toes. Get that toe, Jack.
seemed to be the battle cry Of tee
admirers of the local boy last night.
At the end ci the bout II was very
apparent that Jack was much strong
er than Edwards. The champion
seemed to have weakened, and in the
opinion of many Authorities who were
present at the contest Sailor Jack
would have come out the victor had
the bout continued a short time longer.
II. was at the close of the contest,
that Edwards made a speech from
the stage AMI paid tribute to his OPP
ponent. After stating that Jack was
the best man he had ever met. he Also
said that he would meet Wood again,
anywhere and anytime. But he added
he will not meet him under Police

said Edwards, best two falls out OF
three no time limit"
Wood then addressed the assemblage

Avoid Using Too Much Salt in Curing
Meat,

Avoid Using Too Much Salt in Curing
Meat.
This is the time of year that
most of the farmers kill and cure
their meat. Much of our home
cured meat carries too much salt
and undesirable odors. This is
due to methods used in curing.
Few are able to keep their hams
longer than one year. Great
care should be taken in killing.
handling and curing Of meat, ;"
says Miss Eudie Kavanaugh,
home demonstration agent. who
offers the following suggestions:
/. Be sure that pork is thor
oughly cooled, but do not allow
to freeze. "a to SO hours is a
sufficient time to cool.
2. A clean hardwood barrel is
a suitable vessel. Barrel should
be clean and tight enough to
prevent leakage.
3. Meat can be either dry
cured or brine-cured. An ex-
cellent cure in which meat is
preserved in its own brine is
made by applying the following:
For each 100 pounds of meat
use:
s pounds salt.
2 pounds warm syrup.
2 ounces saltpeter.
2ounces red pepper.
2 ounces black pepper.
All ingredients should be thro-
oughly mixed. Rub each piece
! of meat with mixture. Pack
hams on bottom, shoulders next
and bacon sides on top. Enough
liquid will be formed to cover
hams. Allow 2 days cure for
each pound. Example? if ham
weighs 10 pounds leave for 20
days. Then string, hang and
Smoke. Hams improve with age.
