GREEN'S PECULIAR STYLE

The contest FRIDAY night between Phil
Green and Jimmie Eeusser was the sole
topic of conversation among ring To-
lowers yesterday. 1t was conceded on
ali sides that the bout Was the best ever
witnessed in the city. ana few more
like Il would make the sport boom.
81 Dung Green's peculiar style Ol fighting
was discussed ON every side. and il is
certainly mystlfying TO bis opponent and
An eye-opener TO the old stagers.
The yOungster walks around the ring
with a confidence that would be a credit
10 any old timer and Is always prepared
70 take advantage OF the slightest open
ing. His lett is equally as good as his
right, and ne cal deliver punch from
any position be may be in.
This puzzled Huesser more than any
thing else during his fight, and q lead
by the latter on an apparent opening
speedily developed the fact that Green
had carefully laid a trap FOR him.
10 is impossible to describe Green's
fighting attitude, as he has a system en-
trely original. One moment he assumes
crouchinA attitude like Jeffries and an
instant later he lights as upright as Gus
Ruhlin. This is followed up with the
McGovern style Of holding both hands
ready to let either go at moments
notice Then again he doubles himself
like a ball and an tie time keeps his op-
pouent guessing what he is gong to do.
Green knows how to use his feet, and
frequently side-steppcd Heusser's lead,

Condie would have Tar the better OF
such an argument as far as height ana
