165 Miles of Grading


Over 165 miles was done during
the year. Due to the cooperation be-
tween the people and the county a
huge saving was effected in this un-
dertaking by reason of the fact that
the taxpayers donated their labor and
time where the County supplied the
machinery. A tremendous having has
also been effected in the bridge fund,
which, three years ago was $4,000
to the bad. Now it is. over ten thous-
and dollars to- the good. The fine rec
ord shown in the management OF the
public works of this district by the
! Workers and Farmers government of
Sheridan County is an example that
other counties might, with profit to
themselves, copy. Mr.. Rasmussen S

have my own system Of TAPPING a
mans hands. learned 1t from Willie
Britt after / had tried every sort of
wrapping known to the ring. Willie
Britt's method seemed the best. He
had used 1t on his brother Jimmy's
hands and I've never known a bet
ter way of protecting them. I'll tell
right here, piece for piece. just what
went onto Dempsey'S fists that day.
How He Wrapped Hands.
I used " inch white surgical ad
hesive tape. cut dozen strips about
40 inches long for each hand These
overlapped, beginning by laying the
first strip across the hand just in
front Of the knuckles. Then in turn
overlapped each succeeding strip
until the whole, made a compact little
pad that reached to the middle of the
hand. 1t made a perfect pad for the
knuckles. With this in place, l took
three strips for each hand and fas-
tened each between the fingers and
drew 1t tightly across on the back OF
the hand. so that the entire pad was
held firmly in place. When Dempsey's
hand was gripped, this pad formed
perfect cast for his knuckles. You
could hit a brick wall with 1t.
l used no gauZe at all on top of
this. The Britt system is a perfectly
legitimate covering for the knuckles
and the safest protection I know of
against breaking them. That is what
Dempsey had in his gloves at Toledo.
Nothing more, nothing less. I went
into Wizards dressing room to see
how he was getting on with his band
ages. He was all alone, a pathetic
figure even then. Jess, a cranky big
cuss, had apparently chased all his
handlers out of the room. l stood
quietly watching him trying to wrap
his big paws. He fumbled and fused
terribly. He was trembling as if he
had the ague. I felt then he was
licked before he went into the ring.
The fellow didn't have any winning
convictions. even though he had al
ready planned a word tour with Tex
Richard. l saw my chance to ride
the old boy so | began.
First, 1 grabbed the gauze out of
his hands.
Don't try to wrap your hands like
that, Jess. What in hell are you try
ing to do anyway? You'll never get
anywhere with that kind of wrapping.
You've got to go in there with your
hands all OK. Jess. You're meeting
a tough young kid. You can't afford
to have your hands all dutched up
like this. You'll need them. This
fellow Of mine has been going around
