New Britain herald., 1929-04-09

Pete was the challenger and in less time than it takes to tell, Joe accepted. Then came the argument over the distance. Joe suggested 500 yards but Pete refused because he didn't know just how far 800 yards Nould be so they compromised and they will run 457 meters.
 Then. under the cooling spray of a shower bath, Pete started to re- count his prowcss on the track. This caused a slight shock to Hergstrom because the only time during Pete's Ncars as q I .ember of the "Y'. that he has been on the running track is when he went there to retrieve a >olley ball aflar one of his wild slnlIs.
 Pete, however. although he hasn't been in Pyle's Bunion Derby in re- cent years, says he can still remem- Ter the good old days before his arches became warped and he says mat the Greeks can still out-mara- 1hon the Swedes any day.
 While living in Athens, Pete be- longed to the Amnesia A. C., that is, the club was named after god- less of some well-known brand of breakfast food. At the age of IS Nhis is Pete's own story)-he scaled 12o pounds without his shoes on and he kept In condition by being spe- Cial messenger in the acropolis whenever the elevator was out Of commission.
 He says he will never forget the field days conducted by the Anne siaNs. He won a race once though he failed to state whether anyone but himself competed, and he receiv- ed a gold medal with an inscription in Greek which translated means Sweetheart Of the Wheat" This was on the front and on the back was an ad of the Bull Run Cereal company. From that day. Pete was christened "Pitter-patter" Perakos.
 No decision has yet been reached on the officials for the race. Five yards will separate the runners ir the lanes because Perakos doesn't want to be close enough for HerS- strom to step on his feet. Hers. strom has drawn the inner edge while Perakos will run on the outer edge.

Speaking s of Sports

Friday night at the Stanley Arena. the amateur fight fans of this city are going to see a match that has been some time in the making, the battle between Johnny Clinch of this city and Billy Reeves of Bristol.
 Several weeks ago, Clinch hurled q def at the Bristol dusky scrapper and the challenge, of course, was ac- cepted. Neither boy was in satisfac- tory shape for the gruelling match and both asked for few weeks in which to prepare. They are both fit now and they will feature the anna teur card here Friday night
 Jack Johnson. former world s heavyweight champion, will be the third man in the ring Friday night. This will add another feature to an otherwise all-star card of fights.
 Early morning travellers in passing Willow Brook park have noted a red streak rounding the cinder track in Memorial field. Some thinking that the runner was either Paayo Nurmi or Clarence DeMar, received a shock when they saw that it was neither. It was Pete Perakos, erst- while football magnate and theater owner, out loosening up a bit. Pete is to race Joe Hergstrom on April 70.

Pete and Joe lost four straight the fifth when both remembered promises to wife that they would be home in time for dinner. They start td a dash for the dressing room but on the way down, each started tell ing the other how good he was at handball. Each claimed to be bet ter.

bad girl and cannot be trusted.
What shall I do? If I had seen any
harm in this I would not have called
PUZZLED.
Puzzled: Tell your mother the
whole story before anyone else has
a chance to, my dear. AS for the
young man, you must apologize
when you see him for your abrupt
action. You needn't go into any
lengthy explanation, but tell him
the circumstances over which you
had no control forced you to ter
inmate the conversation.
Dear Annie Laurie: / am married
two years and am twenty-five years
old. My husband is also twenty-five
years old, and he's very ~disagreeable.
I've never been happy since I married
him. I left him six months ago for
~non-support and then I took him
back on his promise to be a different
man. Now I see for the last few
weeks he is getting to be the same
as before. Please advise me quickley.
UNLUCKEY GIRL.
Unluckey girl: Are you sure that
the fault is entirely your husbands
my dear? Perhaps you too have
been somewhat diSagreeable as you
express it and have given him just
cause to act i~ndifferently toward
you. So many young married women
become dissatisfied when they find
that marriage isn't all love and
kisses and romance. It's a difficult
thing, the first few years of mar
riage. adjusting yourselves to each
other and the new mode of life.
and it takes worlds of patient and
understanding on both sides. A dar-
ling old lady I know says that when
a couple are married they should
take two little bears into the home
with them-Bear and Forbear and
it's very true my dear. Try never
to get over being the same girl your
husband wooed and won. Don't be-
come careless and indifferent, for
therein lies all the trouble. Remem-
Der, this new life is as hard for
him Is it is for you, SO try hard
and don't nag and don't fly UP at
the very first thing that happens
And my best wishes to you.

More nour1shrnent, OF course, is necessary dur

In my effort to acquaint you with the different
diets, please don't think that I'm asking you all to

too much weight is not lost-aS sufficient nouriSh-

No matter how carefully one selects a diet or

internal disorders, may find it unsuitable. If after
trying any diet you find that it in any way causes
the least discomfort, discontinue its use, by all
