THE LITERARY OUTLOOK
Good Books of the Season-NeWs Of the Pubshers-EV-
eryman an Old Play and Book-Gorky's Life
By HERBERT BREWSTER.

The spring season of 1908 is now fair
ly on its way. and the reading public
may well congratulate itself on the
quantity of good books which are be-
ing brought out. In novels there are
enough worthy of note at least through
the dog days of late summer and long
before that time the fall season in
book publishing will have begun. AS
for serious books, few seasons have
been so productive.
Let us look over this latter field
first. Have you ever read such
book as Helen Kellar's Autobiography?
Here is a great story of a wonderful
girl-bHnd, deaf. until lately dumb
which makes those who have all t1ve
senses wonder what they have been

however was kept up by hopes and
aspirations in which literature was
but very slightly interested, if at all.
1t was the prophet who announced the
destruction of the old order of things
and the establishment of a new who
was chiefly acclaimed. Political par
ties, or the writer's who form the
nuclei of such, quarrelled with each
other for the possession of him. The
Nationalist claimed him as their own,
while the MarXists quoted long pas
sages from his sketches to prove that
his ardent sympathies were with them.
Even the Conservatives, the cream"
of the aristocracy," went out of their
way to laud the young parvenu to the
skies as the intellectual leader of the
new era. And one and all they pro-
claimed him warmly, nay, Historically,
to be the most genial write of the
present generation. 1t is only fair to
add that the OstenSible grounds %
these exaggerated eulogies were cali
culated to do credit to Gorky and his
admirers. Whether, however, the
qualities which the latter fancied they
had discovered in their hero are any
where expressed or implied in his writ
ings, is a matter on which opinions
will differ. Hatred of society. of the
moneyed, cultured, and honest working

Western reader is surprised and amused

manity constitute the quality in his
literary creations which endears him to
a large section of his followers!"

Fi84 Back Hand Blow


Swings in boxing are not only effec-
tive as blows; their practice affords a
splendid means of indulging in adj
vanced physical culture.
To deliver a right or left hand swing
effectively requires quickness of eye
and extraordinary agility of the entire
body. Hence, the correct use of mus
cles in groups are taught, and the
boxer learns how to use them co-or-
dinately in the shortest possible time.
He gets an altogether different train
ing and idea of muscular power than
in the A. B. C.s of physical culture,
when he exercised each muscle, or
small set, without any regard to it's
neighbors.
The lodging and ducking often nee
essary to escape swings or counters
is also fine exercise. 1t brings all the
neck and waist muscles into play, as
the simpler forms of physical culture
cannot do. A man who can dodge or
duck well cannot do other than de-
velop a strong waist and a well-round-
ed neck.
A swing should be delivered when
the opponent is coming toward your
right or left. If he advances toward
your right, swing for him with the
right; and vice versa.
AS the arm is well bent at the elbow
in swinging, this means that you must
get close to your opponent. Therefore,
in order not to expose yourself to
counters, swings must be delivered
quickly and then you must get out of
harms way just as soon as ever you
know how. This is where exercise in
agility and quickness of the eye and
judgment come in strong.
The swing should be delivered on
the neck or the jaw. Among profess
SIGNALS this is generally the knockout
blow, unless any kind of blow will
nn1sh the contest. But of course in a.
friendly bout for exercise and for that
alone, all the essential conditions are
fulhlled without striving to deliver too
telllng blows or carrying matters to-
ward professionalism, which, is the
bane, not only of the so-caIled IMAM
ly sport but of many other forms of
physical recreation. Box with will.
but not with grim determination, for,
in exercise, as in business, no benefit
VIII accrue unless you take healthy
interest in it.
portant ways of landing swings are
described below. But before practic-
ing them, be certain to insure a boun-

price too high you may bargain with
him. but you must take care not to
make the slightest allusion to the COPY
of the Koran in your pocket, for in
disposing of it the proprietor has
clearly broken the law, and it would
not be good policy for you to remind
him of that fact"
A most persistent rumor is quietly
circulating in New York publishing cir
cles to the effect that the house of
Appleton is to be merged into the Har-
per establishment. Granting that such
a consolidation actually occurs, the
cry that there will soon be a publish
ing trust would have some weight if
it were not for the fact that almost
every week sees the birth of some new
concern.
AS a matter of fact ten rumors fly
and one lights. There is always a
great deal of misinformation about the
doings of the publishing world which
passes for the truth. 1t was recently
reported that several American pub
fishers were planning to establish huge
plants in London with which they might
capture English book markets, but the
American publishers are still here.
More than 100000 copies of a little
book called "Wee MacGreegor" have
been sold in England within the past
few months, a success so remarkable
that, though the story is told in a
broad Scotch dialect which almost re-
quires translation, a firm of American
publishers are to bring the book out
in this country. A few days ago a
COPY of the hook was handed to a New
York publisher of Scotch parentage.
He kept it a day or so and then re-
turned it to his friend with the words:
This seems to be a good little story
but I can't translate it fast enough
to really enjoy it,
The joke of it is that the publisher
in question is not only an enthusiastic
Scotchman, but he is also a most ar
dent defender of the Kailyard school
and delights in the worst-or best
that Jan Maclaren and ]. M. Barrie
have done in dialect.

| The right-hand swing is practically
the reverse of the left. 1t is a better
blow, however, and it must be deliv-
cred from a greater distance, since the
left of the body is always forward in
boxing. A boxer must be very sure
of being able to deliver this swing
before trying it. He must also be
careful that his forearm does not
strike the elbow of the opponents

unpleasant surprise.

Maxim Gorky" is more than a. biogra-

most appalling odds.
Maxim Gorky's NAME" writes Mr..
Dillon, was filed on the bead-rool of
fame before his scattered writings had
been collected and given to the world
in the form of a book. People paid
high prices for the back numbers of
the obscure country papers and volum-
inous reviews in which they were first
brought out Students zealously cop
les those which were difficult of ac-
cess, had them autographed, circulate
ed, and read in private circles. The
new talent-many spoke devoutly of
the immortal genius-was the theme
of eager conversation from st. Peters
burg to Odessa. His creations were
warmly discussed his art classed with
that of Tolstoy and Dostoieffsky, his
influence welcomed as a purifying
breath moving over the face of the
stagnant waters and giving shape,
color, and beauty to chaos. Ovations
were offered to the late tramp, and the
public assembled to hear extracts read
from his writings; critics covered
scores of pages with aesthetical rhap-
sodies and exegetical comments in the
style of Hemsterhuysfus, devout Thi

Place the elbow at the hight of the
eyes, and the instant that the oppon-
ent's' right comes in contact with your
forearm, raise and slant the arm well
so that the momentum of the blow
will be carried away from the intended
mark.
Swing and counter are shown in
Figure 2.
Rfght-Handed Swing and the
Dodge.
If the opponent has habit of hit
ting with the straight left-not the
swing-watch for such a chance, and
when his fist almost reaches your nose,
simultaneously throw your head to the
right and lower we'll the upper part
of the body. This will cause the OPP
ponent's first to shoot harmlessly by
The Savannah morning news., 1903-04-19

to the left of your head over your
shoulder. Then, while his body is still
being carried forward by the momen-
tum of the misspent blow, straighten
up and throw the right fist, in a sort
of half swing, into his face (Figure 81.
This is an effective blow, but as it
is hard to deliver, it takes practice,
and, therefore, is splendid for pur-
poses of physical culture.
To guard, simply raise the shoulder
over which the right has to travel to
reach the face. Nothing could be
easier, and it effectively keeps the fist
from fulfilling it's ambition.
Back-Hand Blow.
There is much pleasant diversion and
surprise in the back-hand blow.
The opponent Will often lean his
body and head back, as you swing for
him, and enjoy your discontinue as
your fist passes harmlessly in front of
his face. And perhaps at the same
time he quickly straightens up and tries
to land a blow.
In that event, If you have swung the
right arm, bring it back from the left
of the opponents body and land the
back of your fist squarely on his jaw
(Figure ~; or, do the same with the
left arm, If 1t has been swung.
The back hand blow can be easily
avoided by bringing up the right arm
and hand little higher when ducking
back out of the way of a swing; or, do
not straighten up and throw the head
forward too soon.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-04-19
Right and Left-Hand Swing.

Your opponent may be enamored OF
the habit of lodging and ducking and
leaning back, especially when he is
tired. Right here watch for a good
chance to deliver a right and left-hand
swing, which Is executed as follows:
Land half left-hand swing with
moderate speed and the instant the left
has done it's work and is coming back
to guard, rapidly shoot in a right-hand
swing on the opposite side of the oppo-.
nent's face.
AS the rapid jerking of the head, nee
essary to lodging and ducking, makes
a boxer more or less dizzy, the oppo-
nent will be taken off guard and so
surprised that he will make scarcely
any attempt at retaliation; and If the
blows are rightly delivered, he will ask
leave to take rest.
The next and final article on boxing
as an advanced form of physical Gull
ture will treat of some of the more
scientific positions and blows.
