THE RING


At the present time the various meth
DDS of training are questions that are
being widely discussed by all VINO are
interested in pugilistic affairs. The re-
suit of the ies-Fitzsimmons fight
would seem to warrant the belief that
his method of preparing for a contest
was a wrong one, but Lanky Bob will
not listen to any such suggestions. He
has his own explana tons to account for
his defeat, and his training system
does not appear as one of them. In
fact the training question is one over
which expert opinion differs as greatly
as upon almost any conceivable sub
ject.
Charlie White, who has handled many
pugilists in his time, says that Corbett
needed more training than any man he
ever knew At the same time he is of
the opinion that the eX-champon over
did the matter. He insisted upon TAX
ing long runs. he made his boxing bouts
as long as possible and discontinued
them only to commence a long seance
with the bag. He wrestled. he ran any
distance without firing, and vet after
all he did not have sufficient vital force
to enable him to stand up before Fitz-
simmons.
Sharkey. on the other hand, does no
such stunts He has often said that he
did not think whole lot of training
necessary. I'm usually willing to

Some Of Fitzsimmons' friends insist
that he did not follow out his old

least is Certain-in the use of alcoholic
beverages during the training period

ANGLING
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

In a well-written article in Sports
Afeld James Buckham gives excellent
discussion on The Senses of Fish,
with a bit of humane advice about kill
ing fish as soon as they are taken from
the water, a practice that should Ger
tainly be followed by anglers. Mr..
Buchanan writes as follows:
AS we made our way down the bed
of a brawling mountain trout brook
the other day I noticed that my COM
panon and fellow fisherman raped
each dangling trout sharply on the
head with the back of his knife ere he
took it from the hook. 1T saves them
from the agony of dying by slow suffo-
cation, he said, and, for my part, l
don't see how any angler can be so
cruel as to deny his victims this last
merciful boon. 1t takes but a second,
and the immediate relaxation of the
tense body of the fish shows what re-
lief the death must be. Furthermore,

Dear Sir:-We have your letter

lots under the provisions of that
agreement. No citizen has right
to take possession of property de-
priving the owners of improvements
of the same. The owners of i'm

until the town is laid out and then
they can pay for it according to
law. In the meantime no one has
the power to dispossess them.
