cepting the conditions OF the match be-

ager Christie says he Is a first class
man behind the bat and Is among the

The battle between Kid Parker and
Rufe Turner at Seattle created much
attention on account Of the difference
OF opinion regarding the proper training
methods a fighter should adopt Park
err trained strictly on the vegetable sys-
TEN, while Turner adopted a strickly
meat, or rather, ham diet SO that
after all II was a case OF cereals VS.
ham. Parker trained on grape-nuts food
and fruit, while the following was the
bill Of fare Turner had: Breakfast,
ham and eggs; dinner, nlbbles OF ham
knuckles; supper, pork sausage. Tur-
ner was asked TO train on all the pork
as much as possible, 90 as TO
for all time knock out the
theory that vegetarian can gain
strength and vitality enough to
engage in prize fight The
butchers OF Seattle were all at the
ringsde whooping II up for Turner and
when Parker made really SO bad a
showing there was no further argument
TO Il.
Since Jim Corbett and Jim Jeffries
were matched for a championship bat
tie long, short and medium stories have
been published IN the papers 70 the ef-
feet that Corbett had developed
knockout wallop. and that II was all for
Jeffrles. Here is what the champion
thinks about H.
Il have read about the great punch
Corbett Is going to use" said Jerfrles,
"and | only hope II Is as good as he
thinks. However, what good Is the
punch when you can't land Il? I VIII
be In good shape when ! meet Corbett,
and all / want Is 10 have him enter the
ring In the best possible condition so
he viii have no excuse to offer after !
have put him away.
"Corbett will have lots Of fun In try
ing to land that blow Of his There are
a dozen ways by which I can block Il,
and | guess Corbett would be pretty
lucky 20 get past my guard. Even II
Corbett did get one OF them home ]
don't believe he could DO much damage.
There Is only one man who can really
hit hard, and that Is Bob Fltzsinmons.
Fitz has landed on me often. ! With
stood HIS attack and / don't see why
cannot get away with corbetts deily-
