ASTER GIVES HIS PUPIL AN EYE AND
PUPIL KNOCKS OUT MASTER'S TEETH
EL.P! Howard Morrow will enter the ring- In Juarez Sun
day "with, a black eye. Can you beat Itf Tommy Ryan
avc him the slincr. Ryan i that sly old fox, .former

Hut to return to the shiner. It happened In the fifth
round of Ryang and MorroWs daily sparrlnjr bont held
back of a Juarez booze bazaar. Pupil and master led off
In pretty fashion, both at. mates in style and form,
handy crouch, and nimble feet, here and there all over
the lot. Alone toward what vras to be six rounds of
Ilsht srolnp, they xnlieil. and coming out Of it, Ryan, vrlio
hasn't fought a real battle these many moons, came xp
"with the funniest thing you ever fcaw, a sort of a left straight arm hook, half
jab, half hook, If there could be such a thing.
Bang! it came down on the lad's Tight optic. Immediately the lid swelled
up, and a tiny stream of blood trickled down Morrow's cheek. Ryan stopped,
and putting up his pillowed mitts, consoled his pupil. 'Sorry, kid," and "that
was all. Then they went at it again, and finished the round. It was a pretty
display of mastership, both in the good nature it was taken by the lad and
the sympathy of the old timer.
But that Isn't the best of it. On the day before, j oung Xorrovr knocked out
two of RyanVt teeth, and at Ryan's time of life teeth are of some value. That's
the way the sage of Syracuse and his boy, a young comer who has as much
right to the middleweight title as anyone, are doing things In preparation for
the local fight.
"Ye all know what Jack Herrick is, a cjean stand up and take It boxer, of
whom his critics only have said that he lacks a punch. So I went over to see
Morrow work out yesterday afternoon. As for the boy himself, I should say
that lie is perfectly there. As for end trance, and stamina, one can say noth
ing ,but as for his style of boxing, there Is an interesting comparison be
tween Morrow and Herrick.
Herrick is of the Harry Gllmore school. He stands up as does Jack John
son, and as did Jack Dempsey. and gives lefts and rights straight from the
shoulder, leaning back before the delivery. That Is the old boxing style. But
with Morrow, wc find the new school, and, by the by, a school probably orig
inated by Tommy Ryan himself. It was Ryan -who taught Jim. Jeffries fcio
crouch, and it vras Stanley Ketchel who got bis crouch from Jeffries' and 'Uc
veloped from It his fchift, whereby be could strike from the crouch instead of
standing up to deliver as do the rest.
Bet do not let It be Inferred that Morrow's crouch, or Ryan's Is one of
those amateur double up affairs where the left arm Is crooked up to the face.
The Ryan crouch Is merely a doubling dp of the bplne, forming a natural de-
fence, btt the left Is held as straight and as far out as with the stand up
form. Both Ryan and Morrow are clever, clean boxers, and especially effi
cient on the Infighting. I -would say that Herrick may have' the best or the
dlstance work, for the Chicago boy's sparring is near perfect, but Morrow is
clever close under and uses his bead and shoulders to a T.
But after all, as Tommy says, it's boxing first and fighting after. Jim
Klynn said to his short lived trainer, "Why, I'm no boxer, I'm a fighter." To
which Ryan said, or In words to this effect, "'Why, you bis boob, you- go out
and learn to box first and then maybe you'll have some chance."
"Ve are glad tosce one trainer brave enough to bawl out this slaughter
house style of fighting, and consign all the bay makers to bar room fights,
and save the ring for clean sparring with the kick back of It.
Jack Johnson Wants To Bet
On Himself and On Wolgast
By Ed Curley
N
EW YORK, N. Y., June 26. Jack
Johnson is In this town. Not in
mortal shape. Tfcut in the form
of $10,000, -which aMp that Johnson
beats Flynn and also that Wolgast
beats River on the memorable fourth.
The big Mack champion is represented
by Tom "alsh. the fight promoter of
New Orleaife.. Walsh received the com
mission from the titleholder several
days ago to bet the money at odds of 6
t 5 in combination form. Up to yes
terday he ha'd placed $3500 among some
of our leading citizens who love to take
a flyer. According to Walsh's figures.
Johnson's price is 1 to 3 and Wolgast
1 to 10. This computes a little better
than 6 to 5, but "Lil ArUia" is willing
to chop""nff the slight percentage to get
1'is dough down.
Walsh expects to get down some
more coin. From the inside dope he
lias received recently, Thomas expects
Johnson to win in Yer" short order.

"Don't think that the champion is
taking Flynn too lightly," remarked
Walsh, "for he's not. Up to a .week ago
Jack did not pay much attention to his
work, but since that time he has been
hustling like fury. The criticism fired
at him since the fight was arranged
has stirred him up greatly, and he
writes that he will be at his best that
afternoon."

Jfmmy Johnson is going to join the
order of "Native Sons." Jimes was

Thomas and Abe Attell to take place

N THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Little Stories About Baseball
By W. A. Phelon
Oli talk about baseball becoming a cllllzed sport, says
Clncde Varnell, the owner of the Fort Wayne team of the
Central league, "and you're saying something. It has
grown gloriously citilizcd, and when 1 watch the con
duct of the plajers of today, as compared with the waj
the old timers acted, I am moved to loud cries of admira
tion. "In my younger day, say 22 years ago, I was a scmi
pro, and the semi-pros of that period were not like those
we Jee In 1012. This seems particularly strong. In my
mind, when I recall a trip we once took to a Wisconsin
r-r. On,- flnli- considered one of the best rough hotse

" Jack Luby, Anson's great pitcher, traveling, for this
day only, under the name of Jones; 51 arty ilonnn, one of Anson's catchers,
and known, for this occasion, as Jacob son, and Marrltt, another Colt catcher,
who played the outfield and wore the name of Sullivan. Be that as It aia),
wc went to "Wisconsin, end got a lovely licking, something like 11 to 2. e
had done some betting, and were a tri fie short of money. t the railroad
station, we ran bang into an Immense crowd, all bedecked with red and yel
low badge a Swedish excursion, which had come up from Chicago on a chaz
tercd train, and was about to go back the feme way.
"We athletes of the long ago were seldom bonchcatls, and thought smartly.
There were about 23 of us, all hardy individuals and all extremely nervy. Like
a flash we fell upon the nearest Swedes, tore away their badges, and pinned
them on ourselics. Like another flash or collection of flashes, we boarded
the train and swarmed into a middle car. Here, after a brisk, breezy fight,
we drove oat the excursionists and took possession, holding the car by force
of arms. At last the Swedes retreated to the next car, the train moved out.
"For two hours the fightlns was magnificent. The Swedes attacked the
car doors, front and rear, but only a few of them cotld get on a platform at
a time, and they lacked organization. "We easily repulsed them, and even
made sorties into their cars, where we captured sundry bottles of strong
Swedlxh liquids, and some hnlf-flllcd lunch baskets. We consumed the Hl
uors, and, whenever the train stopped at a station, we burled the provisions
at the yokels who stood rubbering ne r the cars.
"As the train drew nearer Chicago, the fighting grew still finer, but n
r-ense of tneasfness pervaded the wiser heeds among ns. IV e began to-flguic
that the conductor mir.it have wired ah ead;"nttlfylng the Chicago police of the
doings on his train, and that there would be many large policemen at -the first
station inside the city lines. Quickly we passed the word, and as the trnlu
slowed up on the last station before entering Chicago, we tumbled off. In
sntntly the Swedes, with loud cries of triumph and songs of joy oicr their vic
tory, swarmed Into ocr deserted car. T he train whizzed gayly on and 10
minutes later, just Inside the Chicago limits, the cars halted, and the coppers
pinched -100 Swedes.
"les, the manners of ball clubs have changed a lot In 20 years, but nev
ertheless, those were the happy days."
FRENCH FIGHTERS
ARE GAME ANYWA Y
Ten years ago the Frenchman was
still supposed to be physically and
morally incapable of learning to "fight
like a. Christian" (to quote the quaint
phrase used by a -worthy of the old
prize ring), and when a little later le
boxe began to be cultivated in Paris
is was possible for the foreign critic
to contemplate the first products of the
new cult with mingled amusement and
amazement Yet there was no reason
in the nature of things why a race
which had always excelled In the art
of the sword should not also distin
guish itself in the ring. The character
istic qualities of the successful fencer
fine footwork, accurate timing, the
ability to judge distance, the harmony
of hand and eye and a reserve of nerv
ous energy are equally valuable in the
modern game of boxing, while the com
pact physique of the round headed,
short necked French athlete and his
unconquerable courage obviously pro
vided him with the capacity of with
standing punishment.
It was soon evident that. the deficien
cies of the first French boxers were
merely the result of a lack of scientific
training. As to the possession of the
physical and moral stamina (there Is
really no such thing as merely physical
courage) known as a "bottom spirit"

Tfle International Syndicate
to the old fashioned pugilists there was
no doubt whatever. They could endure
an intolerable deal of pounding. As a
rule, it required a knockout to extin
guish the smile which they wore on
entering he ring.
(American boxers invasion of Paris
provided the expert teaching equired,
and the result is seen today in the ap
pearance of a group of skillful and
hard hitting French pugilists whose
style is in most cases a blend of Amer
ican and Knglish methods. A few of
them adopt the socalled "American
crouch, which, as the annals of the
old prize ring clearly show, is actually
of Knglish origin. But the best of
them can only be called "Americanized"
in the sense that they attack in two
places, -paying as much attention to
an opponent's body as to his head,
whereas the point of the chin is the
chief objective of attack with nearly all
Knglish boxers. AH, or nearly all of
them have the "punch."
This is a striking proof that the
French style is excellent in an essen
tial point which is too often ignored
by English teachers of boxing. The
faculty of hitting hard is not an in
explicable gift of the gods; it is the
result of proper balancing of the body
which admits of the constant use of
leg drive,, which counts for as much in
boxing as in rowing.
