SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
-By LOUIS II. JAFFE-
WILMU JACKSON has been In normal
health for more than a week, nfter n
lecent attack of pleurisy nnd ho Is putting
himself In flrst-rnte shape before appearing
In tho 1 lug again lie will box In this
city In the noir future, and when ho does
answer tho bell llllll.un will h.tvo no alibi
If he happens to get tho worst of It, Mon
day night In New York Jackson Is
Khidulod to pair off vvl'h Totninv Tuohey,
tho PntcrJun, X J rrdhead Willie was
forced to cancel several dutes with Tuohey
becaufc of Illness after they had put on a
senntlonal lilt about two months ago How
ever, Jackson's health will not Interfere with
Monday night's scrap, nnd ho Is primed for
n grueling go, as Tuohey makes the road
tough for nny one Since Jackson scored
11 ono round knockout oyer Johnny Dundee
and pi iced himself near 'the top of the light
vvclg.it class light fans, especially In this
cltj whole the feat was accomplished, have
been skeptical about Willie's chances In an
other Dundee aetto Of course, Dundee
wanted a return bout with Jackson right
tinny, but the litter was not anxious for
another match His Intention was to reap
as much of the fruits, of popularity a pos
sible, for which nobody could hate him
Now Jackson says ho Is ready to accommo
dnto Dundee, but ho must get a reasonable
gunranteo for tho bout. Again, Jackson
cannot bo hated for holding out for as
much of the filth stuff as he can grab

Official Press Statement

Standards.
We've been preachlngandpractlclngthe
am thing fdr yeare. The boiling point
of Atlantic Gtaollne la always uniform
II meets Uncle Sam Idea perfectly.
WHEN you need that little spurt
to carry you over the brow, it's
good to know there's Atlantic Gas in
the tank. For Atlantic recognizes no
obstacle.
It tackles its task with vim, vigor and
determination and it has the strength
and stamina to win-out against all odds.
You tank-up with good old Atlantic
Gasoline. See that there is nothing
else in the tank at the time, just to give
Atlantic a fair trial. Man, alive ! After
that, you'd fiat-tire it steen miles to get
Atlantic, rather than risk any other fuel.
The only way to prove this out is to
glide up alongside an Atlantic pump
and tell the man to go ahead and grind
out five-gal or so. It's worth trying,
oh, it's worth trying.
