is certainly the proper one for you to as
sume. If your opponent leads with his
right at your head, throw 1t OH with your
left. If he leads with his left do the same
with your right. II he sends his right at
your body ward it off with your left. Do
likewise with your right if he leads with
the left for the body. These are really the
tour principal and simple points In boxing,
In fact the very rudiments.
Don't take any stock whatever In sys-
tenn that teaches Won to punch more with
one hand than with the other. Try always
to be good two-handed boxer. Learn to
strike straight and clean; swinging blows
nearly always leave an opening for your OPP
ponent. 1t is always we'll to do your lead
ing with the left, reserving your right for
good opening. Wherever you hit your man
with one hand, let the other fist land
in the same spot if possible. It Will be
very much more effective.
LOOK INTO HIS EYES.
Always watch your opponent direct in the
eyes. You will soon learn to tell by this
when and where he intends to smash you.
Just as soon as you see him about to lead,
shoot your lett into his face, and the force
of his coming toward you will increase your
blows considerably. II you have not time
10 do this, throw off your opponents blow
as explained above. Novices should be
careful about ducking; it is very danger
GUS game even for skillfuI boxer to indulge
in. In ducking you lose sight OF your op-
ponent for few seconds, and if the latter
happens to catch you with stiff upper-cut
it may be sail day" with you.
There is considerable folly and nom
sense about keeping yourself in coDdi-
ton. Most young fellows who go into
athletics imagine they are obliged to
course of training, keep their muscle as
hard as flint, and live, indeed, very un-
natural existence. My experience has
taught me this is all wrong. Live regular,
take just enough of exercise to keep your

liver and circulation active, and don't get
your biceps too tough, for you will very
soon find that very hard muscles will slacken
your speed, and would not give rap for a
boxer without speed.
A good thing for a young fellow to do
who wants to become boxer is to join some
worthy athletic club of amateurs who hold
sparring contests every once in awhile. In
a short while he will learn enough to put on
the gloves with some of his fellow members.
After few bouts he will find out whether
nature intended him for a champion or not,
for all men are not born champions, and
young boxers will discover this fact sooner
or later.
FIGHTING AND sPARRING.
When say that every healthy young
fellow with good physique and q clear
head can become clever boxer by close at
tention, hard practice and the use of good
Judgment, don't mean by this that he can
become fighter. There are many skillful
and fancy sparrers who will not stand three
rounds before man with less ability and
more heart. When it comes to fighting the
heart plays most important part indeed.
However, it is not necessary for US all to be
fighters.
1t has been argued by some narrow
minded cranks as an objection to the study
OF boxing that it leads men to be pugnaci-
Gus, to seek encounters in order to show
their superiority with their fists. This is
not true. know personally of many in
stances where professional pugilists have
been positively insulted by weaker men,
and yet the boxer having such perfect self
possession of his powers, and not wishing to
take advantage ofhis helpless opponent, has
retired.
In the first place, the professional knows
that public opinion is against him because
he's member of the prize-ring; and, in the
second place, he does not consider
it any honor to whip man
away out of his class. OF course
there are a few professional pugilists who
go about taking advantage of their fighting
ability, but I always put them down as
towards. never knew of good man in
24-foot ring who was quarrelsome outside of
it except they were under the influence of
some intoxicating beverages.
If every man under 40 practiced boxing
in this great big America we would have
less narrow-chested dudes, less quack medl-
cines less shooting and stabbing, less mar
row-minded cranks, more manly and cour-
ageous men, healthier and better formed
children and a far greater nation in every
respect. JOHN l.. SULLIVAN.
