” ” BRECKONS, who is the son of a coal miner, has been riding only two years. He got his start in racing in a most unusual way. As the story goes, Veteran Jockey Lois Cook came back to Breckons' town in Kentucky two summers ago to wed a hometown girl and Young Jimmy begged Cook to go slong with him and his bride to roit. | 3 “1 was small and I had heard i lot about racing, so I just de
de to go to the race track,” Jimmy recalls. tel
Cook, finding that he couldn’t| dissuade the youngster from a jockey career, took him to the Detroit track, where Jimmy quickly learned the tricks of the trade, He rode throughout the Midwest during 1950 but didn't pilot his| first winner until Feb, 27 last year at Hot Springs, Ark. He wound up the 1951 season with 91 winners out of 700 mounts.
BRECKONS got off to a fast start this year in Florida, where he rode with distinction at Tropical Park, Hialeah and Gulfstream. And with the end of the winter racing season, he shifted his tack back to his familiar Midwest haunts. He plans to ride| at the Chicago-area tracks the rest of the year. :

Track Feud
By United” Press COMPTON, Cal, May 19-—Mal Whitfield and Johnny Barnes filed their entries today for the 30th annual Compton Invitational meet to assure fans a continuation of the 880-yard feud which flared here last year. | The June 4 race will be a rematch of the pair's well publicized bumping and fouling duel in the 1951 Compton Invitational. In that event Occidental’s Barnes crossed the finish line first in the time of 1:50.1, fastest half-mile turned in for 1951. But the lanky Whitfield, coholder of the 880 world record, lodged a heated protest. He claimed that Barnes fouled him by cutting in. The officials after a long debate which saw Barnes’ Coach Payton Jordan taking an active part, disqualified the Oxy star and declared Whitfield the
This met with the displeasure] of both Barnes and Jordan. And they showed their utter disregard of the official ruling by accepting Barnes’ time as a new school record.
Matthews Now
Wants Marciano
PORTLAND, Ore, May 20 (UP)—Jack Hurléy, manager of Harry (Kid) Matthews, said today his Seattle heavyweight contender should get a crack at Rocky Marciano in July as a result of the Kid's unanimous 10round decision over Rex Layne of Lewiston, Utah. 4 Hurley said the July fight, under the auspices” of the International Boxing Club, was supposed to hinge on the outcome of last night's struggle. ‘ Layne, at 19814, started last night's fight off on a tough trail when he caught Matthews, 18313, with a crunching left that staggered the 29-year-old Kid against the ropes. The Seattle heavy furnished the only knockdown of the fight when he floored Layne with a hard one-two in the second round. He repeatedly jolted Layne with a short left jab which had him visibly tired after the fourth round. The next four rounds were slow with the Utah fighter jabbing and then holding.

Even seasoned wood can warp and swell if moisture get at it. And when that happens you must either put up with the unsightly job or find the time and the money to do it all over again. If it is close-fitting work like window sash or screens, there is the nuisance of struggling!
{with it whenever used.
Luckily, there is a simple way to protect yourself from such common hazards, the way the professionals do. They apply a quick coat of Cuprinol before painting. This versatile wood preservative sinks into the wood and sets up an efficient barrier against the elements that try to destroy your handiwork. This action stabilizes the ‘wood, preventing it from excessive warping and swelling. Ingredients in the same chemicals repel insects and the fungi which cause dry rot, Tests show wood treated with Cuprinol has lasted six times longer than untreated wood. Would you rather replace your porch steps every 4 years or every 24 years? It should be remembered, also, that moisture can attack wood both inside and outside the house. Protection against rot is also a safety precaution since steps, railings and the like which suddenly give way, often cause serious injury, and sometimes a lawsuit. Unlike old -type preservatives, Cuprinol is a clean, easy-to-apply liquid which can be painted over. In fact, it is a good primer. And the stabilizing action of Cuprinol helps control grain raising and checking of plywood, so that you
