WRITTEN o THE UNDAY REPUBLIC.
That there are possibilities in the line of
Knockout blows as yet undeveloped Is the
opinion Of Abe Goodman, the little Boston
fighter who has made so good a showing in
the local ring. Goodman agrees with Young
Corbett in believing that every variety OF
blow has been practiced in the prize ring
at some time or other, but he so far differs
with the champion as to think that the de-
veloprnent Of any blow not previously con-
s,dered dangerous is practically equivalent
10 inventing a new punch.
THE man inventing a new method of
knocking out aother fighter" said Goodman,
ibis invented n new blow so far as useful
ness is concerned. It's the unexpected that
is always happening in the ring, and If you
can spring a surprise on the other fellow
and put him out with a blow that he don't
think II worth while to bother about you

was bent over for the duck, was a real sur

OF our fight, and If l Rad not been worn

There is a great future in the develop

as the impression was that changing the
direction to such an abrupt angle would
affect the speed of the blow. 1t didn't in
that case. however.
Now pretty nearly every blow at long
range or at short-arm fighting. that seems
particularly dangerous, has been taken up
and developed and worked to its highest
pitch. But 1 think there is an opening for

Marquis of Queensberry rules, and if you
will think 1t over you can see the advan-
tages of this yourself.
"A long range fighting a clever man can
elude a knockout blow in the vast major
ity of cases. If an opponent PUSHES. The
clever man can knock him out as n comes
in. In fact. a lOng-range fighter, like Attsll,
for instance. can keep away so successfully
that it is almost impossible to land a
knockout blow on him. though l have never
heard of Attell putting a man out as he
came in.
But when you take a short-range fighter
and an infighter. be he clever as they make
them. 1t is always possible to land some
blows on him in a clinch. If these blows
can be DEVELOPED until you can knock out,
the other fellow with them, / don't see how
they can be stopped, or what limit there
will be to their use.
"Of course, this development Of a punch
requires all the force to come from the
back. Opportunities for landing such n
blow are innumerable, and every fight gives
you a chance to get in at least one in eacn
round.

line is getting higher and more Of an art
each year.
STYLES OF FIGHTING
HAVE OFTEN VARIED.
In the old days. when swings were the
to be done at long range. Then came the
day of the straight punch, which John L.
Sylvan brought to its perfection by de-
Weeping the Knockout blow. To evade this
one of the most useful methods of dodg-
ing a blow, and infishting followed In its
train.
Fighters Immediately realized that when
they had slipped one of the oId-time straight
punches. with all the weight of the punch
tagonist exposed to short range blows. and
short-range fighting became popular right
away. 1t is, l believe, the modern type OF
lighting.
A there is steady Improvement in the
ring, it follows that a knockout blow will
soon be brought to the front which will
make it extremely dangerous for a man to
rush into cinches. Once this blow is de-
veloped. n firing man can no longer run
into a clinch and save himself indefinitely
with both hands, grasping his opponents
gloves.
From the number OF ways in which
this blow can be landed and from the fact
that wearing an opponent down at. close
range is now a favorite style of fighting, il
Before Sullivans time it was thought nee
essary to beat and hammer a man down
and out. John L. used one blow to turn
the same trick. Once developed, other
when a really successful knockout punch
is brought to the front, that can be sent
in from a space OF six inches. and when
only one hand is free"

and I never saw a Knockout follow It's
use. Dixon brought that one punch into the
light and used it effectively.
Il can think who it was he put out. as
the battle was ahead of my time. and [
r~ecCllect reading about il and seeing pictures
of the blow. But it surely was an original
idea of Georges. Try the punch yourself
and see how hard it is to get any force be-
hind it when YOU are doubled up. Whoever
he was fighting evidently didn't guard his
self. He thought there was no danger when
Dixon was in that position. and only found
out his mistake after his seconds had work
ed over him for about a minut and a half.
Some of Jim Corbett's best blows were
most effective because they Were unex-
from his steady jabbing. thinking to get a
rest for a minute. only to find that Cor
bett would send a terrific uppercut into
his face as he ducked. Then Jim woull
slip away from a savage swing and would
get back with q straight punch from the
most unexpected positions.
Wasn't it an unexpected blow, that was
as old as the hills just the same, with
which Young Corbett won his champion
ship? Rothwell has a way Of booking with
one arm and then sending in another after
1t, changing the direction of the blow aft
er apparently sending 1t straight below the
opponents guard. He throws dow his Ell
bow midway in the course Of the blow,
thus whipping his fist up over the guard
instead of under it.
PUNCH CORBETT USED
TO FINISH M'GOVERN.
HE got this blow in over Terry Nc
Governs guard, after Terry had dropped
his arm TO block a low punch he thought
was coming. and got to the jaw with a

as does this affair. Both men are tre-
mendously hard hftters and both are likely
to start rushing from the first tap of the
gong. With this state of affairs. knock
out will be but a question of a few rounds
at the outside.
That McGovern realizes Young Corbett
to be the toughest opponent he has ever
tackled is proven by the work done by
Terry in preparation for the contest. Nc
Govern has probably worked harder fer the
fight than for any of his battles of late
years. and he win go into the ring in as

good condition as 1t Is possible for him TO
attain.
When he fought Young Corbett the first
time, 1t will be remembered thai he prac-
tically went through no training whatever.
He was on the road when the match was
made and kept up his theatrical work un-
til a few weeks before the battle. The last
city in which he appeared prior to his de-
parture for the East was st. Louis, and his
company proceeded without him after their
week in this city.
McGovern made a show of training at the
Business Mems Gymnasium while here, but
in reality his work there amounted to little.
He did not live at his hotel like a man who
