take two fake falls before the fight was over in order to even things up." Now if "Philadelphia Jack" hadn"t got excited and tossed verbal brickbats at "New York Jack." the past might have remained embalmed and buried. But "Philadelphia Jack" did talk and now they have exhumed the corpse of "Philadelphia Jack's" past.

Dy FRANK G. MEXKE " "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien uttered n. few utterances recently and right away an unmuzzled ghost jumped out of the past and began yipping and snapping at him. And now "Philadelphia Jack" is faced by a $100,000 libel suit tiled against him by "New York Jack" O'Brien. Fourteen years ago, "Philadelphia Jack", whose real name is joseph Hagan, hugged a typewriter to his buzzum and began to beat out a confession anent his fistic career. He admitted that an amazing percentage of the "fights" of his lifetime had been fakes nothing else. He went into detail concerning the most Important "double crosses" foisted upon the public and more or less Btartled the sporting world by his exposures of ring rottenness ia which he played a leading role. - . : t Public Has Short Memory And"" then Philadelphia Jack" promptly forgot all about and perhaps hoped the dear old public would do likewise.

Quaintly enough, the public did that

very thing to a large extent. A new

generation of fight fans grew up who hadn't read the confessions and who

didn't know that "Philadelphia Jack'

was selfplaced around top ranking among the fistic fakers of all time.

"Philadelphia Jack", therefore, be-1 came regarded only as one of the oldtimers, with an honorable reputation to soothe and sustain him through the rest of his years. Grows Prosperous With Age He opened a gymnasium in the Quaker City and it prospered. Then he entered a business deal with Tex Rlckard whereby he became boss of the gymnasium being operated in connection with Madison Square Garden. As time flitted, "Philadelphia Jack", blue ribbon faker of the other days, sought to establish himself on the pinacle occupied by old-timers who honored and glorified never disgraced the prize ring. And then the lightning hit. During the years that "Philadelphia Jack" was in his prime, there was a middleweight operating who called himself "New York Jack" O'Brien. He luit the ring about the same time as "Philadelphia Jack" and became a theatrical performer. Not so long ago somebody, meeting "New York Jack", got him confused with "Philadelphia Jack". This nettled "New York Jack," who, it is alleged, spoke along these lines: . "Don't get me mixed up with that Philadelphia faker." This remark or a kindred one was carried along to "Philadelphia Jack," who, thereupon, according to

"New York Jack," made a statement something like this: Issues Fatal Denial. "I wasn't the faker. It was this 'New York Jack' O'Brien who pulled those fake fights and everybody thinks I did it." When "New York Jack" heard that well first of all, he got frothy. Secondly, he got ancient newspaper files and extracted therefrom clippings in which "Philadelphia Jack" O'Brien, under his own signature, confesses that many of his important fights were fakes. "Ha," exclaims "New York Jack," "I guess that bird didn't think, that I knew about the heries of articles he wrote in 1907 in which he makes a full confession that he was a party to a lot of fake fights. He tried to put the blame on me, eh? Well, here's

the clippings and there youH find the confessions right under his own name."

Clipping Is Proof Positive. One of the clippings, from the Eve

ning Journal, of New York, Sept 15, 1907, opens with:

"Following is the last of the series

on crooked prize fights written exclus

ively tor the Evening Journal by Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. Having been a principal in each of the battles he

writes about, the Philadelphia boxer

is me Dest man In the world to tell the truth about the contests." Underneath is a line reading: "By Philadelphia Jack O'Brien." Then follows the story. After reading it, one becomes absolutely certain that the confession was by "Philadelphia Jack" and not by "New York Jack" or anybody else. For the crooked fights which are detailed are certainly fights which appear in the records as having been waged by "Philadelphia Jack," and not by "New York Jack." Shifts Blame to Managers. "Philadelphia Jack." in his series of confessions, always maintained that he never in his whole career proposed any fake. He said he was forced into

deals by managers of the other fighters who would never have let their men loose against him if he hadn't agreed

to "go easy." He mentioned specific

cases where he had to deposit a for

feit to bind his promise that he would

not knock the man cuckoo.

Discussing his fight with Tommy

Ryan, he said:

"Before Tommy Ryan would agree

to go on with me for our fight in Jan

uary, 1904. 1 was obliged to post $5,000

in the hands of his manager, Sylvl Ferretti, which I would have lost if 1 had not let Ryan go the six rounds to a draw. In the fourth round, I hit Ryan harder than I intended to, and knocked him down. Then, in order to save my $5,000, which would have gone to Ferretti and Ryan, I was obliged to

The most marvelous machine in the world and how it is neglected

WAY back In the school books was

a lesson on physiology.

Rather dull as a lesson. Yet it was the story of the most marvelous machine ever created and how the machine gets its power and does its work. That machine is the human body. Some day the mechanical expert of this machine the doctor finds out for us where we have missed the lesson and neglected the machine. GRAPE-NUTS food was made in accordance with the school book lesson on what the body needs and how its needs may best be supplied. It is possible for a delicious food to be a scientific, "power" food. GrapeNuts is such a food. Perfecting Natural Gifa Twenty hours of continuous baking has done certain wonderful things to the nourishing properties of whole wheat and malted barley flour, from which Grape-Nuts is made and has produced a food in the form , of crisp, golden-brown granules. You chew Grape-Nuts thoroughly. The rich, sweet flavor of Grape-Nuts fa the reward of chewing. Nature meant the teeth to be used. Primitive people, who keep the natural teeth sound and perfect to old ag are eaters of food which requires chewing. Grape-Nut jgives the teeth work to do. Perhaps you remember a little of the physiology lesson, now how the salivary juices respond when the food is thoroughly chewed and the first important step in digestion is taken. Life-Giving Properties Wheat and malted barley are richest

of all grains In the food elements required for human use. In GrapeNuts all the essentials provided by nature in these grains are retained and perfected. The long, slow baking process which produces Grape-Nuts turns the grain's starches into natural sweetness and breaks up the nutritive solids into forms easily assimilated by the body. The exceptional nourishment from Grape-Nuts is secured with no tax upon the digestion. Penalties for Mistakes When the doctor, as the mechanical expert of the bodily machine, comes to give advice in case of trouble, he finds that harm as well as good, often has resulted from food. "Starchy" foods have been the subject of many warnings. Food which passes too slowly through the digestive tract causes disturbances to which much of the slowing down, wearing out, and failure of the bodily machine is traced. A aharacteristlc of Grape-Nuts is that iJdigests quickly and completely without fermentation in the intestines. A World Service There to, therefore, a reason why, . throughout the world, Grape-Nuts has steadily grown ki favor these many years, as a food for fitness, as well as charm to taste. You can apply that reason to your own benefit. ( Ready to eat from the' package, al ways crisp, naturally sweet served with cream or milk and a little sugar if desired Grape-Nuts is an ideal dish for breakfast or lunch.
