 Walter J. Kingsley, formerly of Buff falo and known as one of the best am- ateur boxers in America, but q meln- bcr of the staff of the London Express, is having some exciting experiences in the old world. Incidentally he has made the first real test of the French style of fighting with the feet, known as Ia sayate. Hingsiey is probably 14O pound man, tall and slender, but very WirN. Ill q lettrr 10 a fricnu l:l New York Kingsley describes the en- counter as follows:
 II l;iti a 1Ight with an exponent of savatc- named HanotauX in Paris re- gently and experienced more kinds Of excitement ill q few rounds than iu all my life before.
 T used punching bag gloves, while he used his feet. I tried to keep very close to him and avoid his fearful kicks, but Ee rapped me one on the neck that sent me flying heels over head. l responded to time, however, ard, being Il bit angered, rushed him. he N4ct ne NtItiI n >snlrl and ;i kicK backward that McFadden couldn't block. Luckily it was high and caught ne on the chest instead of the solar It slowed me q bit, but 1 feint- ed him into a swing with his right foot and then got to him with both hands. The gloves. were not much heavier than thoseS used for dress purposes, and, being in good trim. I split his nose. knocked out two teeth and near ly tore his stomach out with a left shift ..-...
 'The Frenchmen yelled Mag 'nifque! at my rally, but Hanotaux, who was pretty game for d Gaul, fouled me by a terrific kick on the shin which stopped the contest, the referee awarding me the decision.
 II could hardly have continued, the pain was so great.
 "We arranged to meet again as HanotauX was wild about his teeth and swore that if I would face him once more he would use a kick that would kill me. To tell the truth, didn't care much for another meeting. for l knew that he meant blow tha is barred in every kindlof contest all over the world. and I kliew. too. that he was wicked enough to use 1t. How ever, I made the match. which came Ix,rf 1zr,& of Britons and Parisians looking on My second was French journalist. who saw boxing match In New York once and now SwearS by le boXe. :
 q had wound my hands with tape and bandages until they were as hard as rocks, and the gloves, which fitted tightly. made them pretty fair weap- ons. Hanotaux had np objection tc the bandages, for he counted on disab ling me by the foul blow which he had in mind.
 q crowded him as close as possible and tried to keep him off his balance so that he could not kick. I Isteppet back once, and he spun on his Jeff foot like pivot and shot his right foot straight back like q skyrocket.
 Before he could pull it back had gripped it. and then with the solit mits I went for him. I think that ht had few sound teeth left owhen l go through. He cried 'asseZ" and 'sutH sammentv and other things until left him on the floor. He had triet the coup de grace had missed and i
 was up to me to fight in 'une manier' ferocc.'
 "The savate is a good game to le alone, as one must be both lucky ant

 II saw big Saxon from 'perfde Al

 in the stomach a few days ago by little rarisian who did not weigh tel

''' That Il didn't do so was not his fault. an the Saxon from London who mad ; good with le boxe was glad after i was all over that he was spared t see Angleterre and the Etats Uni l again"
