Wesley Jacobs, popularly known as "Pat," a railroad conductor well known in Maine, proved himself a game sportsman and a good loser yesterday afternoon. Mr. Jacobs last week backed his faith in the fighting ability of Jack Dempsey by placing a rather unique wager on the outcome of the championship bout, the provisions of said wager were that in the event of Dempsey losing the decision, he (Pat Jacobs) would push a peanut with his nose from Ed Hall's store on Maple street to the College avenue pharmacy. This was held by many to be a joke, and several cynics were heard to remark that the gentleman would fail to be on hand at 5:30 Monday afternoon, the time set for the feat. Those better acquainted with Pat were confident that he would fulfill the conditons of the wager. And he did. Several scores of curious individuals gathered near the spot at about 5:00 P. M., and when a little later Mr. Jacobs appeared and guided the peanut to its goal with nothing more than the posterior part of his nasal probocis, the crowd was not slow in acclaiming him a good sport. It is understood that Mr. Jacobs will retain the peanut in his possession as a souvenir of the Dempsey-Tunney fight, and a wee reminder of what queer things the gambling spirit will cause a fellow to do.
