| somewhat prejudiced against Corbett,
| but Im.nQt going TO let that interfere
with my views. They are honestly
what l believe and they can be taken
for what they are worth. I hope that
COrbetts head will be knocked off.
Mccoy ought to win that fight. He
will too, if he is in anything like the
shape we was i'll when, he met me. He'll
have TO do it quick, though, for he
will get tired soon. Eight rounds
ought to be enough for him to dispose
OF my old enemy.
My reasons for thinking so are
these: Mccoy is a fighter who has two
styles. He is as hard hitter as any
man in the business, perhaps barring
FItzsimmOns. His punches are like
the kick of a horse and l know what
I'm talking about. for l got a couple
that made me view sky full of stars
through the roof.
He's twice as clever as COrbett and
can feint any man out Those two
styles of his show that he is that much
better than COrbett. That game of his
OF waving his hands in front Of his
face is enough TO drive an opponent to
desperation, and when he gets him that
far he knows it. Then it is that he
brings that other game into play,
straight jab at the head with his long

left, followed by right hook. It's like
thunderbolt and if Corbett can stand
it then he's better than l ever gave
him credit for. l know what I'm talk
ing about
All the kid" will have to do is to
get in shape, be good and strong and
he'll win sure. But ne must do it
quick or he'll lose the decision. Now
this last remark doesn't seem even
talk, but I'll explain That stiff Cor
bett can't hit, and the kid" is too
game to quit before anybody. He'll
fight the best he can, but he hasn't
the stamina and Corbett may outlook
him.
In Corbett you find nothing of the
fighter. He is a boxer pure and sim
pie, with an injection Of the sprinter.
He can't hit to hurt anybody. With
Mccoy he doesn't class and that's why
he'll lose. II doesn't make much diff
ference about his condition.
Corbett has but one style. That is
the left-hand jab, feint and run.
I've got a patent to beat and him
quick. I'll show it to Mccoy if he
wants to know it, for l want to see
that buffer get it good and hard.
That's my honest opinion of the way
matters between Corbett and Mccoy
will terminate. It's going TO be who
is combination Of fighter and boxer

THE TRICKS Of THE
Chinese boxers.
THEY ARE MARVELLOUS ATHLETES
AND THEIR FEATs ARE PER-
FORMED WI II EVERY
MUSCLE OF THE BODY.

The attention Of the whole civilized
world is at present attracted by the
Chinese Boxers.
One of the principal features of the
society is boxing. 1t mingles the man
ly art with superstitious rites and
strange practices.
But boxing as practiced by the mem
bers of the Chinese secret society is
very different from the art as known
in America and Europe
To illustrate the difference a Chi
nese Boxer and a real American boxer
were brought fact to face in actual
combat. The Chinese boxer was 10y
Fun, who is an expert in the peculiar
methods used by the famous society.
He is a Chinaman of powerful build.
weighing nearly 10 pounds, HLne and
agile. and an athlete from the Chinese
standpoint.
His opponent was Chuck Connors,
the well-known Chinatown character.
Chuck is an eX-pugilst.
A photographer secured snapshots
Of the men while they were fighting.
The Chinese Boxer does nearly Rll
OF his fighting with is hands open.
He does not wear gloves. He closes
his fist on rare occasions only, ordi-
narily using his hands with the fin
gers doubled fpon the second knuckle.
He fights with his hands, feet, elbows
and head.
His object is to MAIN and disable
his opponent. He tries to put out his
eyes by swift jabs of his extended fin
gers: to break his arms by peculiar
holds or to throw him heavily by trip
ing him or Selling him by the legs.
In the neck blow is given one of the
strangest and most effective blows OF
a Chinese Boxer. 1t is a blow in the
throat delivered with the knuckles of
the second joint of the first and sec
ond fingers.
The Boxer opens the fingers until
the knuckles form a V and strikes
with one knuckle on each side of the
Adams apple. Chuck had just started
20 swing his right for 10y Fun's Jaw
when the Chinaman suddenly darted
forward with his head slightly low
cred, his left shoulder drawn up and
his body pivoted on his left foot His
right hand shot out, and the knuckle
caught Chuck sQuarely IN the throat.
The blow is a terrible one when de-
livered with the full force of the body
behind it, and often knocks out the
man receiving it.
An effort to blind an opponent is al
most invariably made The blow by
which this is done is very similar to
the throat blow except that the fingers
are fully extended.
A very peculiar Boxer blow is one
which we would now call the solar
plexus blow. Using the left leg as a
pivot the Boxer gives his opponent a
terrible kick with the side and heel OF
his foot and throwing his body for
ward lands both fists together with the
backs OF the hands upward in his an
tagonist's solar-plexus or the bit of his
stomach. The camera caught 10y Fun
just he started to deliver the blow.
In another bout 10y Fnn, lodging a
jab from Chucks left, threw his right

amount, on the other hand, win deter tlia
others from coming in unless hey have

wise to open for the limit, provided II DO

strong a hand that he does not fear COM

by the opener. and secondly, on the
number of players who are yet 10 ba

KIND IT would be good play for him to
open for small sum. provided his threea
are jacks or better The chances are
that no one has more than a pair Of tens.
and even II three tens should be obtained

as much in the pot as possible. even
the risk Of being beaten by some exc
tionally lucky draw.
