Cook's second afterwards stated that he objected to the use of champagne, and Cook complained that it was going into his eyes.
Petersen had many breezy mo- ments in the bout when he valiant- ly tried to stop his man. He is not disposed to win his fights if he brought his good right hand again and again into operation.
Cook, however, was iron-jawed, and took all the punches without flinching, while his body seemed just as impervious to the Welsh- man's attacks.

A Case in Point,
Point was given to the Bill by a case 'which came up for trial at Westminster of two youths named and Frank Thomas Johnson Colbard, who were committed for trial on a charge of assault and robbery..
A salesman of jewellery was their victim. He testified that Colbard, who is only twenty years of age, carried a sawed-off shot-gun, while Johnson, a youth a year younger, carried a piece of lead pipe.
Colbard ordered the salesman to "put 'em up" while he covered his partner's plundering operations.

Sir Hoary fought against illness as gallantly no he had fought against his rivals in speed; but, despite his courage and the skill of his medical attendants, the fight was in vain. His colleagues, on the racing track, Dr. J. D. Benjafield, the bacteriologist, who struggled day and night for the life of his friend, said: "His fight for life was the grandest I have ever scon." Everything had been done to bring a last-minute recovery, and two blood transfusions were per- formed,

Colleagues' Tributes.
When they heard of his death Sir Henry's colleagues and rivals on the track joined in grief at their less and in praise of his achievements as one of Britain's foremost racing motorista. The following are among the tributes:-

WASHINGTON, July 21. The recent increase of kidnapping cases in the United States, which is attributed to the desperation of racketeers following the breaking of their liquer monopoly, has led President Roosevelt to organise a big drive against crime.
