Show I PETER JACKSON TO TRAIN FLAG WINNERS SALT LAKE, March 6. Tho Salt Lake baseball club yesterday signed Young Peter Jackson of Salt Lake as the trainer for the 191S season. He succeeds Billy Burke, who decided not to return to the Bees this year. Peter has been conducting a gymnasium gymna-sium in Salt Lake for several years, devoted largely to priming boxers for Hardy Downing's fight club. He has made a specialty of developing "white hopes," but since Jess Willard brought the title back to the Caucasian race Pete's efforts have run more to developing devel-oping just fighters. Himself a fighter of renown. Young Peter Jackson can point with pride to what is probably the longest record of any pugilist alivo or dead. In the course of his life in the ring Young Peter Jackson met all of the celebrated celebrat-ed battlers of the land, and until he grew a "little old" he had the unique distinction of never having been knocked out Pete Is said to be a veritable owl for wisdom when it comes to keeping athletes in condition. |
