IN truth, Peter Jackson had "a

picturesque West Indian (born ST.

1861 that the city of Maitland;

his fighting career in Sydney,

This was the man that Corbett
whom Diamond claims Billy Conn
to be a counterpart of, faced in the
California Athletic club, May e,
1891. with Hiram Cook, regular
club official, acting as third man in
ring. Jimmy De Forest, famed
boxing instructor during Jack
Dempsey's heyday, once wrote of
that memorable encounter: Jack
son was the heavier hitter, but
young Corbett was streak of
creased lightning. The men SHOW
ed not only boxing skill of the
hibhest order but ring geserallship
and quick, cagy thinking such as
never before had been kown i'll a

uppercut, a blow that had never
been successfully used before ahd
it took the young ex-bank ciLrk

the fight lasted 81 rounds (Jack-
sons bad ankle accounting for
this), when the referee stopped the

The Iowa DIET In
Fighting Tooth Decay

This is one of the frequent ques.
tons sent to me which is easier
asked than answered. The doctors
have a name for it, however-ony-
chorrhexis-little as they know
about it. 1t is due to a malforma-
ton of the nail plate. Any chronic
disease is likely to cause brittle
ness. Also any disturbance of nu-
triton.
Repeated slight injuries may
also be the cause.-the nails crack
or break, thus keeping up a par
tial exposure of the nailbed. To
prevent or treat, it may be neces-
sary to keep the nails protected
with some such covering as heavy
adhesive plaster, continuously day
and highland for a long time.
Improvement in general health is
always followed by Improvement
in the "tone" of fngernails. NJ

A and D and milk to supply cal

garding the ketron island sailing
race staged over the weekend.
Shortly before the starting gun
was fired at p. m. Saturday. J. c.
Shapiro's fine big and well-powered
cruiser Maryann broke down close
to where the sailboats were jockey
ing for a starting position. Chuck
Ogden. sailing his sloop Mijoy put
a line aboard the disabled craft
and lowed the Maryann into the
clubs moorage. Chuck couldn't
possibly have made more news If
he had bitten the proverbial dog.
That little chore amid much
jeering-put the crews of all seven
race participants into fine fettle
for the overnight sailing match.
The course was from the T.Y c.
clubhouse around ketron island
and return-some 80 nautical
miles. As matters later developed,
the job was commenced in the
evenings sunset and finished
shortly after dawn, a session of
some IL hours.
And at this point it may be well
to call attention momentarily to
the fact that Russ Posts sloor
Lady Luck has been coping every
race-and not a few T.Y.C. goats
thereby. To a man. the other lads
were not out there this weekend
to win the cruising race, partieu-
larry. but primarily to beat the
Lady Luck.

that there even was plot afoot
to rig some sort of drag TO the
Lady Luck's keel under cover of
darkness. Skullduggery, b'gadD
So at the last minute. when the
seven contending shippers held
their routine huddle before racing,
an old. old T.Y.C. racing rule was
busted off. 1t provides that sail
boats with auxilisries must have
them rugged for use during race,
Now the Lady Luck is racing
machine. and she totes an outboard
motor for an auxiliary: when speed
is the object, the motor is unship-
ped and slowed in the cabin. The
rule necessitated the cupboard s
being kept in place, where it of
course offered considerable resist
ance to the water.
The rule seems fair. too, when
you consider the more conventional
sailboats with regular inboard cux-
iliaries are 30 handicapped at al
times.
And that's how they took care
Of the Lady Luck-finally.
So when the boats finished SUM-
day ayem. and their respective
times corrected. and handicsns
been imposed. the results Of the
sKetron island race were these:
