SHOOTING '»» WORKS (By LEE A. JOHNSON) THE AKRON TERROR-GORILLA JONES In May 12. 1900, Gorilla Jones was born down in Memphis, Tennessee. He took to boxing at an early age, but did not beeome a public figure until in 1928 when he became a resident of Akron, Ohio. He fought in the lightheavyweight class at 155 lbs. Many a fighter loomed up before him in the ring only to be smited down by his ring generalship and viciousness. Today he is regarded as one of the greatest fighters in his class. Ho is still in the top division even though he has fallen victim of inactivity. At present Jones is out on the coast fighting now and then in the California rings. He is too good to meet the fighters of his class who are rated at the top with him. He must stoop to the little fish and play around with them m order to earn money to keep in condition. When a colorful fighter like Jones fails to “play ball” he is tricked Into some sort of suspension that will forbid him to get into the real dough. Consequently he loses his pace and is out of real competition until "they” think they can handle him. We believe on the other hand that if Jones can get a shot at "money”, he'll get into tip top condition and take the boys for a ride as fast as they can come. In glancing over his record we see the names of a number of outstanding pugs who were defeated by Gorilla Jones. In fact too many to start naming so we'll just give you a summary. Out of 109 ring battles Jones knocked out 47 men, won decisions from 40, lost 11. drew 3, three were declared no contest, was knocked out by one and he was disqualified once. That’s a record for any fighter to he proud of saying nothing for being the N.R.A. champion of his class. This title was taken from him last year as the result of a questionable contest in which he engaged resulting in his suspension. Unlike most fighters, Jones is the quiet sort. Never likes to do a lot of boasting and doesn't go in for night life. He is the type that likes to fight, and naturally he manages to stay in the pink of condi-
tion.
, * * * * WARNS OF DANGER OF EXERCISE CHICAGO. Sept. 15.—(AND—Exercise as a successful medium of reducing or putting on flesh will in most cases prove fatal unless accompanied by the proper regulated diet, William H. J. Beckett, assistant Supervisor of Saint Louis Playgrounds. Mo., said last week. Mr. Beckett made this statement to reporters alter spending a week viewing the World's Fair and consulting with Physical Educators in Chi-
cago last week.
"Exercise, without the proper diet is comparable to pouring water into a sifter. As fast as you work off a pound it is suddenly regained from the overeating which so often follows a stiff workout. Anybody seeking to reduce should first consult a physician to find out whether or not the excessive weight comes from the lack of exercise, too much
exercise or from a fattening diet.”
According to Joseph Ford, boys’ physical director at the Wabash
