j Laid to Lax Prq
br Robert edguk,
Jim Jeffries and Jack Deippaey
wuro talking over training method*
whon Jack vl.lted Jim recently.
Jim waa giving jack a litUa advice.
"Nobody know* your condition
oetter than yon know It yourself."
g ***** Jeffries. "When you train tor
' ? ?*>>t yog can train yourself better
than anyone else can train you.
| *?? know what kind of work you
need, and when you have enough.
"In the old days we always used
to train too hard. It was nothing
lor me to go out every morning for
a ten-mile run and run It. too. I
know now that it would have been
bettor to walk and taka a few short
prints. There's no use In burning
up energy you need la the light.
All ? fellow needs Is to be la good
health and trained Just enough so
that he Isn't carrying aay fat that
ralglit make him slow or lessen his
enduruice.
, "Tb* rest of training Is Just practicing
enough boxing to keep your
ye good and your mind accustomed
to taking quick advantage of openings.
You don't need much training.
do you. Jack?"
"Not much." said Dempsey. -I
put on a little weight between
bouts but It's distributed all over
me. I like to be thin for a ght because
I'm faster when I'm light and
v. I depend on speed a lot. I took off
tweaty-three pounds training for
Carpentier. I weighed 18ft pounds
in the ring and today I've put on
about enough to make me 200
pounds stripped."
Dempsey plans to go to Europe
and visit England and France in a
few weeks. He has made all of his
. passport arrangements, reported his
M income tax payments and all that
sort of thing.
F "You won't find any heavyweights
In England who can give
you a fight." said Jeffries. "When
*1 was over there I found them the
poorest lot In the world, and they
haven't Improved since then. When
you hit them they hold up their
hands and resign."
"I wonder why they don't develop
any good big men in England?"
asked Dempsey.
Can't Fight on Ale.
"Because they're all mixed-ale
boxers," said Jeffries positively.
They ail drink ale and beer and
ale makes a man slow and logey.
They don't just drink a glass now
and then, but the** have their pint
* uith every meal.
"Drinking all the time makes a
fellow musny. They'll never have
fcood fighters in England until they
? cut out the mixed ale died. They've
had the wrong system there for 200
>earg and they don't like to take
up new ideas."
"I'm gla?i you say that," said
Dempsey. "1 never drink. I'm very
nervous in training?all on edge?
and they're always trying to make
me drink ale to quiet me down,
.-five refused so far. and I think
you've got the right dope. I'm
. going to stick to It."
' American college athletes used
to overtrain, anfr^in competing all
over the country with a college
t*ara years ago I found beer and
ale used on most college training
tables. Throwing tho weights, we
rsed to start after breakfast and
keep it up until dinner time unless
the blisters on our hands made us
*top. Then we'd eat enormous meals
and drink a couple of bottles of
Dogs Head ale. or Ouiness' stout.
I've sat at football training tables
and watched the big men of the
line stow away a couple of porterhouse
steaks each, with potatoes,
spinach, turnips, beets, carrots,
1 lates of toast, pudding or pie, all
washed down with beer or ale.
Mile runners used to go out for a
daily live or ten mile Jog, and then
*pend the rest of a pleasant afternoon
practicing sprints. They
overtrained?used up their energq?
;?nd then depended on the artificial
relaxation of a bottle or two of aie
to rest their overworked nerves.
Cn the other hand, of course,
we've had many great athletes who
nte sparingly and who never knew
ti e taste of even the mildest stim.
Slant. Some have been vegetarians.
W never eating meat at all, never
' drinking.
We've had many great athletes,
particularly the weight throwers,
who over ate and drank too much
of fattening Jiquids. As a rule they
were tremendously big men. and
their diet made them much bigger,
which may not have been a great
handicap in weight throwing. But
1 believe all these men, with their
natural ability, would have been
better if properly trained, and fu^
ture athletes in better condition
will break all their records.
Tm Mich Fnt.
John Flanagan, Matt McGrath,
Denny Horgan, Simon Gillies, Pat
Ryan and l'at McDonald were all
heavy eaters when they broke record's.
and some of them consumed
large quantities of stimulating
liquids. I've seen John fcat enough
for two men, and break a record
that afternoon.
Denny ilorgan, who held "the
world's shot-putting record, had an
idea that the more he ate and the
heavier he grew the better he could
Lurl the weights. One summer at
Travers Island, Denny had a habit
of breaking a dozen raw eggs Into
a large pitcher of milk every noon
and drinking the mixture after
lunch. He put on about forty
pounds, but he fell off six feet in
shot-putting. It didn't work. He
* dropped from forty-eight to fortytwo
feet with the shot.
About that time Julian Elliott, a
145-pound boy. lean and sinewy and
careful in diet and training, came
up and put the sixteen-pound shot
forty-five feet, showing that condition
was better than beef. Some
<iay a 200-pound man in Elliott's
condition will put the shot fiftyfive
feet.
Rose, who h^B the record of
fifty-one feet, was a sluggish giant.
Only a few years ago athletic
clubs usually had a rule prohibiting
the serving of "hard liquors" on
their training tables, but provided
the athletes with as much beer or
ale as they cared to consume. It
was considered necessary to drink
sue to keep from going "stale." As
a matter of fact there's a difference
of only two letters between "ale"
and "stale."
Tom Carroll, the professional
athlete, who was a greater weight
thrower than any of the big amateurs,
and a wonderful all-around
?nan, stands six feet six Inchea in
' bis stockings, weighs 210 pounds, is
lean, sinewy, powerful and has kept
perfect condition through neariy
fifty years of competition. Carroll
drank a bottle of ale. smokes
little and Is always In tmining.

GHTERS SI
r Fighters I
Condition Best"
n Planning Long Tour
f Good British Boxers
paratory Methods.
Rudd, of the English college track
team, appeared on the field a few
days before the International meet
smoking a pipe, it was quite an |
ordinary thine to Mr. Rudd, a cue- |
torn among athletes in England.
Comment on It amuaed him.
When the London Athletic Club
team came to America twenty-seven
years ago to compete against the
N. Y. A. C. the English athletes all
smoked pipes, which rather astonished
the Americans, who weren't
allowed to smoke at all. However,
the English were beaten in every
event, so pipe smoking for athletes
didn't make much of a kit in this
country. Smoking isn't good for
any athlete, as It interferes with
deep breathing. I've sever known
a first-class runner who WU n
habitual smoker. But Jumpers and
weight throwers often smoke.
No benefit In lt? of course. It was
simply less harmful where a sustained
effort wasn't needed.
A# a rule the old-time fighters,
both In England and in this country,
had a free and easy way of living
and training. Most of them drank
hard between bouts, went out of
condition altogether, and then went
through a furious training period
with long runs in heavy sweaters
and hours of gruelling work in
gymnasiums, to sweat the poisons '
from their systems and get back
into shape.
They even had a theory that
"breaking training" was necessary.
That idea was exploded long ago.
A fighter who lived as John L. Sullivan
lived in his day would be discredited
now and the public would
not care to see him.
John's wild carousing and his
generosity when "In his cups" made
him a popular hero. But times
have changed. Now the popular
fighter Is the fellow who takes care
of himself, lives cleanly and is always
in shape to give his best when
in the ring.
In London prise-ring days fighters
and followers of the ring were
j a hard-drinking, hard-living crowd.
Usually a champion opened a roadhouse
or a saloon to capitalize his
I fame. Nearly all of the English
champions from the earliest days
| have retired from the ring as tavern
keepers. It's still customary In
England. In this country the custom
died out before prohibition
came in. Tommy .Burns, Willard j
and Dempsey alone of all our
heavy-weights champions never had |
any Interest In liquor selling, and {
Burns and Dempsey are the only
ones I remember who didn't think
an occasional period of "breaking
training" was necessary to good
condition.
Even school athletes dissipated
their energy by indulging in too
much hard training, although of
I course they were not given the
i mixed-ale ^method of relaxation.
When marathon and long-distance
running came into fashion twenty j
years ago, school boys were often j
seen plugging along In cross-coun- {
try events that undoubtedly i
strained their vital organs and 1
sapped their vitality. This is now 1
bring discouraged by all school '
athletic authorities. p
There is no question In my mind (
that many of the old athletic cham- i
pions broke down long before their Ti
time through alternating too much ?
I relaxation with too much hard ?
'training. Straining breaks down *
| Important organs. The human body f
Im a delicate machine. Straining c
isn't training. It breaks down v
| heart, lungs and nerve centers, g
When"an athlete "goes stale" it's S
time for him to lay off and conserve j
j his energy.
How that is done by athletes f
strictly up to date in the methods ^
that have made Americans supreme f
I in every branch of athletic sport 1
I'll tell in next week's storey. j

Anyone who inspects the diverse
results and turns of a championship
to find whether driving, iron plsy
or. putting is of a greater value
in a scoring way will be left'about
where he started.
There was the case of Bobbjr
Jones in his first round at Columbia.
The youngsti: was playing briiliant
golf up to the greens but his
putting went sadly off. He had
chances for birdies on ten holes,
from a putting range between six
and twelve feet, without dropping
a one. He also took three putts on
five or six extra greens. In the
course of the round he used no les*
than forty-one putts. The result
was thst a brilliantly plsyed round
up to the pin be?ame an ordinary
?speaking here In championship
terms.
"This shows you the great value
of good putting." someone remarked
after following this round.
But about the same time L#eo Defgel
got under way. Deigel was
playing very well, putting with at
least average luck, but at two or
three vital spots his tee shot got
away and found soul-wrccktns
trouble.
The result v.as that pelgel had
above 50 on this Journey due in the
main to errors with the wood.

ble. ^ Not unless he is a marvel at c
getting out. Putting mas a big c
factor in T?-d Ray's success a year c
ago at Inverness, because the big I
Englishman insisted on flopping the
ball out of the sanded depths ana I
tossing it somewhere around the 1
pin. a
So, it would be hard to say that *
the putter was more important than *
the driver, or reverse the arrangement.
Much of this would depend
upon the type of bunkering that *
guards a fairway. t
But for the average golfer proa- ,
ably the most Important stroke in {
the ^ane is the short approach. 1
from one to ten or fifteen yards off
the green.
In the first place, his mashie or j
iron approach is more often just
off the green than up around the ,
cup. He seems to be Just short or
Just over?to the right or left?but j
with numerous chances on every
round to save at least one shot by
chipping up within a few feet of
the pin. i
This isn't ?s important a shot for ,
the professional or the Mar amateur i?
hs it is for the average golfer. For;
Barnes. Hutchison. Kvans. Jones. ;
Out met. llagen. ct?\. are planting .
their approaches on the grern most,
of the time, not ten or fifteen fe*t
shv or over. We recall seeing Jim
Barn*** pl?> this stroke only once |
or twice at Columbia, for he was
usually on the green. Yet it Is an
important shot for Abe Mitchell, as i

The right wrist should snap

n what might be termed a pinching
effort. It Is more a flick than
nythlng else.
One of the most Important it * 1
ails to remember in connection
rlth this short approach in not to
ring the club back toto swiftly. An
ven, easy, steady back swing Is
ssentiaL to be followed by a crisp
orward motion of the right hand,
'he easiest way ta wrack this shot
to Jerk back the club bead at too
ist a pace. A miss Is rarely reorded
when one swings back
teadlly and keeps the body out of

strong lncentlvs to look up
-to lift the head?when playing
his shot, and this can be best ?erected
by not burring the stroke or
urnlng It into a jerky stab.
