willing fellow and does not care how hard
punch him. Ny bout with him might be
termed my smuggling exercise. He never
flinches. he never gets ratified, and he is
under instructions to punch me as hard
and as often as he can. I, therefore, derive
double benefit. for l accustOm myself to
hitting hard and to avoiding blows which
know will hurt me if they land.
Then / take McVey and wrestle with
him. He is ever so much heavier than l
am. and the work of twisting him around
and pushing him away is good for me, as
it stands to reason that / need have no
fear of being worsted in the eiinches when
1 tackle man who is lighter than Nc
vey. Jack understands that ii is his
place TO rough me and To lean against me.
so as TO make me exert myself in freeing
myself from him.
Il also put on the gloves with McVey.
Now he is not exactly a lightning stiker,
but he sends in piie-driver blows. / ward
them off with both my forearms, and as
a consequence l am seasoned from the wrist
to the elbow. When catch a blow on
either arm it hurts the other fellow more
than il hurts me.
Right here / want to tell YOU how
it was / came TO think OF this seasoning
process. When fought Jackson / studied
to avoid that heart punch OF his. 1t is
great punch, and it is well worth avoid
ing. In my training ] formulated plan
for hitting at Jackson's stomach with my
left whenever i felt sure that his right
was corning.
at worked well, and served as an eff
fectUal stop to Jacks punches, but
while my left was crossing the line Of fire
Jackson's glove connected repeatedly with
my left forearm. OF course, it was better
to have it there than under the heart, but
it famed my arm. Ever since that time
whenever / train l go in for the arm sea-
soning that / mentioned just now, and
have an idea that if a mule kicked me on
the forearm, he would not have any the
best of it,
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1897-02-19

the effect that he wished to change the
rules TO suit himself.
There are knockers in every game
said Mr.. Ser, with some little resent
ment, 'and il is not surprising that they
are getting in their work on this match.
l have never given any one cause to say
that | wished to amend the rules to suit
myself.
II think 1 understand the Marquis of
Quecnsbury rules, probably as well as any
one, but there are few that cannot be in
terpreted two or more ways, especially in
regard TO fouIing. so thought il would be
better to have the thing all settled before
the fight took place, than to have u wrangie
at the ringside.
Don't you? The man who has this
money bet on the fight would undoubtedly
stand in with the referee that gave the
fight to his man on a foul, and probably
would be entitled TO it, but the genuine
lover OF The sport would notIike to see the
fight given to the poorer man on foul or
q technically without a chance having
been given both men to show what they
could do. The man who came from New
York or some other equally distant point
would no doubt be far from satisfied
with his journey.
THE way / propose TO get around all
this is to have an understanding with both
men before they go into the ring as TO
what they will be allowed TO do under
certain circumstances.
For example, one OF the most important
matters, and one over which the most
wrangles occur, is the break-aways. lt
is my idea OF the thing that when the men
clinch and then break away. that they be
allowed to bang away, and l viii tell you
the reason for it.
1T is no matter how faithfully both men
promise to break even and without hitting,
for, before the fight is over, ono of them
will break the rule, and give the other
good, stiff poke.
This, at least, has been my experience,
and / say let it be understood that they
win be allowed to do this, and there will
be no plea of foul by the friends Of the
vanquished man when the fight is all over"
