ia one. He's killed first and last four
man. Carney is adistinctively ooay
fighter. and those are, after all, the
killers of the prize ring A man dosent
dron right down dead from body blow
.s he might from a smash in the neck.
Init he's more apt to die afterward. hes
esnecially more apt to do this II some
failow like Carney has been hammering
him over the heart and lungs for an
hour or more-every blow like the KICK
of q pony.
"A man who fights Carney an hour,
don't care who he is, will come out OF IL
as raw as beefsteak from his neck 10
his belt"
"Who did Carney kip"
"Well. his first man was q strapping
Young fellow who was called the irish
Tiger. He was tiger, too, let me tell
Won. A frst-class good 'un, he was,
but Carney put him out after hghting
London rules an hour and fifteen min
utes. The Tiger died the next DAY
from his hurt
"Then Carney fought a man named
linn island an hour and forty-fve min
utes. Carney finally bowled him ont,
and two days after he died. There
was scarcely mark on the faces OF
these two. either. Each got his medi-
cine somewhere down below the collar
button.
"Then Carney killed fighter called
Punch Callagan, and afterward another
named The Pippin. Neither OF these
died in the ring, yet neither lived TWO
weeks after their fights.
ssNo, there's nothing peculiar about
Carney's fighting. He's just BODY
fighter and great punisher. Hes very
strong. and when he hits you 1t makes
YOU think you've run against the pole
of dray.
"Another man / saw killed was Gen.
tleman Davis. This Davis was very
wealthy gentleman in England. de
had passion for fighting, and used TO
meet professional fighters in the ring
for the honor and glory there was In 1t.
I suppose Gentleman Davis had. first
and last. a score of fights. But he had
one too many. 1t was In Birmingham,
and against Cudge Franklin. The go
was bare knuckles to a finish, London
rules. 1 was seconding Gentleman
Davis myself. About the fifth round
Cudge caught him square on the bridge
of the noze, and Davis fell limp and
senseless as sack of wheat
''Neither the other second nor could
believe for d long time that he was dead.
We bit his ear and stuck needles under
his nails and In his eyelids to bring him
round In time; but 1t was no use. lie
was dead as hammer.
"He was very game man, Gentleman
Davis was, as indeed most OF you gen.
tlemen fighters are, and 1t was a pity he
died as he did.
chow do mans seconds bring him
round when he's knocked senseless'
Well, sure good way is to stick pen
knife under his finger nail. A good
many men, you see, aren't senseless,
inst ratified and dazed q bit from a
blow. Any sudden, hard pain like run
ming a needle In his eye lid or biting his
ear will concentrate his thoughts and
bring him round in second.
"Then another thing you shouldn't
forget. There's heap OF these fighters
who aren't knocked out at adjust
shamming and pretending. Well, a
man can't sham being senseless while a
needle is run under his nail. 1t brings
that sort of fighter to the scratch right
away
"What's the nse OF bringing him
around If he is. shamming? Well, some
times none at all. or course he's a cur
"a mongrel, or he wouldn't quit; but
YOU can win q fight with cur lots OF
times. A cur only quits when he's get
ting the worst Of 1t. Take dog, or
man. or chicken. Just as long as he's
getting the best of it dung hill will
stand punishment as well as the clearest
strain game you ever saw.
"Of course, It's seconds business in
a prize fight TO take care OF his man and
bring him to the scratch on time and
make him fight. That's seconds
duty; so he doesn't stop to inquire
whether his man is shamming or really
means it when he lays down. He just
carries him to his corner and brings
him round as fast and as we'll as he
can. Even If he Is cur, II you can get
him to 60 up, send him. A chance lick
or any of dozen accidents may give
him a shade the best OF it in the
next round, and it will encourage him
and he'll go In and win.
ats all the way men feels and thinks.
Keep em thinking they're winning and
they will win. No, of course, no one
expects to get killed In prize fight.
That's not the intention. But after all
no one is trying to keep from killing his
man, either. You put two men to fight
Ing in ring, and let them get little
warm, and you needn't look to them to
spare each other. They won't do it,"
