DO BOXERS HAVE "GOLD FEET" OR
IS IT MERELY A NERVOUS STRAIN?
BY T. S. ANDREWS.
' Very frequently boxing fans will be
heard to remark that such and such
a fighter "had
cold feet" and re-
ports are often
sent to papers
throughout the
country that a
certain fighter re
fused to go on be.
cause of "cold
feet," etc.
Is it really a
case of "cold feet"
with some boxers
or a severe case of
nervousness, which
oftentimes brings
on a sudden ill-
t J ness? The split
Detween Jiaaie
McGoorty and his manager, Marty
Forkins, has been the means of bring
ing out reports that McGoorty was
none too game and that he has had
"cold feet" at times. It was stated
that he had them when he was to
have fought Frank Klaus in Milwau
kee in 1910, but it is hard to believe.
It is true that the night of the pro
posed contest McGoorty was taken ill
with fever and had a temperature of
103 or 104. Afterwards Dr. Frew ex
plained to me that McGoorty was
trained pretty fine and that no doubt
bis fever was brought on by the nerv
ous tension and strain under which
he was working. There was no rea
son why he should be afraid of Klaus
for he had fought Hugh Kelly, at that
time considered better than Klaus,
and also other good men, without hav
ing the least fear. McGoorty also
went to England. .with Pa'tsy Callahan
and fought men much heavier than
himself and offered to put up big for
feits, or at least Callahan did, to fight
any man in the middle weight class
at that time, including Billy Papke
and Georges Carpentler, the French
champion. ,
One of the greatest middle weights
ever produced about the widdle west
quit the game because of his extreme
nervousness before a contest. That
was Ted Malone, Milwaukee boy, who
fought a number of battles and de
feated some of the best fighters
around the west during the period of
1904-5.- Malone was not only clever,
but could hit like a big heavy weight,
and he handled most of the middle
weights he boxed with like babes. On
two or three occasions he was match
ed up and each time he had to call
the bouts off because of illness. Give
him one day's notice and take him
out of the gymnasium and he would
beat most any man of his weight he
met. One day I asked Dr. O'Brien,
his physician, the cause of his Illness
and asked whether it was fear at all.
"Not much," replied Dr. O'Brien.
"The boy is highly nervous, especially
when in training and he thinks too
much of the contest in view. He
keeps it in mind all the while and aa
a result can not sleep. Soon his nerves
give way and he is a wreck until the
strain is passed. It is the same with,
any highly nervous athlete and also
with a horse. It is not fear or cow
ardice. It is simply the nerves."
And that is probably the case with
most boxers when the sports say thejr
have "cold feet." ,
EPIDEMIC AMONG HORSES.
Many cases of distemper among
horses and some deatha from that,
cause are reported by veterinary sur
geons of the city, who say the. epi
demic is severe and the character of
the disease very virulent. The loss
to owners has been considerable. A
few cases of glanders were reported
during the winter, but that disease is
believed to have been stamped out.
