A STORY SANS NAMES, BUT A DERN GOOD ONE Being the Very Gratifying Ac- count of the Downfall of Mister Burly Road Hog Page Jack Dempsey! As pretty a fistic bout as one could witness away from the ring-side, oc- curred on one of the through high- ways not so far from Winnetka, Sun- day afternoon. A man and his wife were driving along, leisurely, in their little old tour- ing car. Approaching from the rear was a large truck coming at top speed and "hogging" the road. Regardless of the fact that the truck driver had an abundance of room in which to pass the tourists, he tore the fenders off one side of the pleasure vehicle. The drivers of both cars stopped. The truck driver, big and burly and with a grin on his face, came back to- wards the crippled car, just as there emerged therefrom, a tall, lean, lanky individual, who when straightened to full height was easily six feet two. He approached the truck driver with- out a word, but greeted him with as pretty an upper-cut with his good right, as Dempsey ever struck (well almost). The truck driver teetered back and forth on his heels and toes for a few seconds and attempted to "land" on his antagonist. But the tourist won the second round and the third, and the fourth and the fifth as easily as he had taken the first honors. The truck driver went down at the second blow and was no sooner up than he was put down with the third and succeeding wallops, until the wife of the tall, lanky pugilist emerged from the little car and induced her husband to stop the trip-hammer. Neither driver took the name of the other. The affair was settled, there and then. The tourist said he felt paid in full for what damage his car had sustained and the "road hog" was so thankful to get away without further ceremony he did not linger to take the enemy's license number nor attempt to learn the ident- ity of the man who had given him a lesson in road etiquet, which, no doubt, he will long remember. Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Bradstreet of Winnetka spent a few days at Sound Beach, Conn., as the guests of the former's sister, Mrs. Howard Hoyt, be- fore sailing for Europe August 26.
