DEER INVADES YOUNG
MANS SLEEPING ROOM

next moment his door was burst open
with a crash and a large deer bounded
in and made a headlong dive for the
bed.
White used his bare feet in a brave
effort to ward off the attack of the
animal. and then reinforcements
came in the form of his friend Black
man. Together, in scanty costume,
they made an effort to get the deer
into corner, but the strength of the
animal was too much for them.
The struggles of the men and deer
completely wrecked the furnishings
in two rooms Finally with the aid Of
outsiders who came to the rescue, the
doe was penned into closet, where
she wrought havoc, with Whites
clothing. Later the animal was locked
in a stable. The deer evidently came

Another good plan is to lure your
opponent into clinching, and as he
attempts to do so to uppercut him.
shall explain the uppercut in the
next lesson. If you are a heavier
man than your antagonist you can
wear him down by repeatedly clinch-
ing in the following manner:
Put your hands or forearms on his
shoulders as you come to a clinch,
and, throwing your whole weight on
him, let your hands or arms slip slow
ly down his upper arm to the elbow
forcing him meanwhile to bear up
your Whole weight. In time this will
have on his arm and back muscles
somewhat the same effect as would
the lifting of a long succession of
flour barrels.
In this way Jeffries wore down and
wearied Fitzsimmons in their first
fight. Jeffries' 22O pounds of solid
weight would slip with apparent
helplessness down the shoulders and
biceps Of his astonished foe. Yet the
latter could not get free to retaliate,
and by the time the referee ordered
''breakaway'' the weight had begun
to tell.
Next we come to another close
quarters maneuver, known as Elm

illustrate: Make your sparring part

Raisesyour right arm, knock his blow
outward, and then, without drawing
your arm back, seZd a right hook or
jolt to his jaw. The guarding of his
blow and the turning of your arm in
ward toward his jaw should follow
each other with lightning rapidity. If
you do this quickly he cannot guard
your blow, as his right arm will have
been thrown outward and your hand
will be nearer his unguarded face
than will his own glove. Speed and
accuracy are absolute requisites for
all forms Of infighting. 1t must be an

Never, under any circumstances,
should Il clinch be allowed to de-
generate into a wrestling match or q
ough-and-tumble. A full clinch
means simply a temporary truce and a
REIMBURSEMENT.
If You find on running into clinch
that you cannot prevent your antagon
lst from striking, get out of his reach
as quickly as possible.
IF a man tries to clinch with you
using the hand clinch'' (the first Of
the two I have eSplained). try to elude
him if you do not wish to clinch, and
try to land on him at close quarters.
If he tries to throw his arms around
you. endeavor to keep both your arms
up above his ard to send in jolts or
half-hOOkS to his face.
Fitzsimmons is a past. master at this,
and taught me the trick of working
the arm up thru the other mans grip
until both arms are free to send in
shower of short-arm blows to the face.
| have seen him employ this ruse to
terrific effect in the ring. 1t is simply
a question of watching your man as
he tries, to clinch and Of getting one
or both of your arms above him. He
is thus powerless both his arms being

tected. t a..

Fitting in clinches is forbidden is
81 rule more often broken and far
more often misinterpreted than al
most any other bylaw of the art of
Self-defense.
! j have heard the crowd at, prize
fights set up the yell of 'Foul!" when
no foul was perpetrated, and / have
seen them allow glazing fouls of this
sort, go unnoticed. The reason is that
three-fourths of the people who go to
prize fights have no more real knowl-
edge of boxing than they have Of
esoteric Buddhism.
With such "a crowd, as with the
average amateur, the full meaning of
the term 'clinch" is not understood.
They see two men apparently clinch.
They see one of the two hit the other.
They shout Foul" Now. the chances
are that the man who struck the blow
had a perfect right to strike. A clinch,
by the definition I have already CIV
en-, should prevent the opponent from
using his hands. If 1T does not pre-
vent him it is no real clinch.
If a man rushes on another and
throws his arms about him, that does
not debar the latter from striking him
if he can. If the clinch is complete
the second man cannot strike. If it
is so ineffective that he can still use
his arms, let him use them. There
is no foul in that. It is clean box
ing, and utterly unlike the practice
of hanging on with one hand or arm
and striking with the other; The man
whose opponent is trying to clinch
must not, of course, hold his; an
tagonist while hitting him, but as long
as he can keep his arms free there
is no reason why he should not lead.
If Is1have 6weh at1zsome length
on this point, it is because the mat
ter calls, for full explanation.
The man who clinches should take
care that he effectualiy checks his
opponent or else should get so close
that the latter cannot harm him.
When, as very frequently occurs,
both men clinch, they should break
clean" by mutual consent, and each
should step, back on guard.
