but a badly-placed boarding. Sir

the Yankee is out Yank'd it is his own

British public who may not get near

Under such conditions it may read

immaterial. and to discuss the unfair

We live by sport and we live for
sport. and will always do our utmost
to further it; but we will not further
tolerate this now too transparent mas
Querading poster. Fortunately, such
sport is an exotic, but lest it should es-
tablish an overlap it is our sacred duty
to huff it off the course-pass us who
will.
ITO those of us who know the inner
workings of the past three races, it is
little surprising that our principal
yacht architects have washed their
hands of the affair, and the hunt for a
designer to undertake the work may
prove as arduOus as the search which

the designers share in the proceed

scientiously take an interest in.

huence of such sport on the friendly
relations Of the two great Anglo Sax
on nations: but one blood flows on both
sides of the Atlantic. and we know that
their friend ties were not secured by
such cheap blanishments-we look tC
our bonds of friendship to be united by
truer ties. We have not the slightest
desire to interfere with business meth
DDS and enterprise, but we cannot sit
by and see dragged into them the sport
of which we are SO justly proud

BODY SLOWS COUNT THE MOST
Old Peter jackson Introduced This
Style of Fighting.

Body punches are what the ngh'ei9
dread today" says Sam Fitzpatrick. II
used to be that when two men stepped
II the ring they were both on the look
out for a punch to the jaw, but nova
days is it the body blow that they fear
think poor old Peter jackson was
the rrst man to introduce that style
uf milling. Before his time the fighters
III played for the jaw, and nothing else
They thought it was impossible 10 WIN
with q knockout unless they landed
uare on their opponents jaw.
That a blow to the body was as
deadly as one on the jaw was first de-
monStrated to me the night jackson
fought George Godfrey in San IRAN
CISCO, back in 1883.
You will recall that many OF 'he
sporting writer's of the country ac-
cused Godfrey of quitting without get
ting hurt. They were badly mistaken
Godfrey received beating that nlsn'
about the body that put him to bed 1ol
several weeks, and he was so sore tha'
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-10-07

he could not bear even the weight of a
bed sheet to touch his battered frame.
Many looked upon it as a cinch for
Godfrey. Arthur Chambers and Mike
Cleary were in Godfrey's corner. Cham
bers had $500 bet on George The
crowd was greatly surprised at the
way Jackson fought for the body, and
considered that he was making a
sucker play. In the seventh round God
frey came up shaped like a crescent
The sports could not understand
what had happened. They called to him
to straighten up. but he was not equal
to the occasion. Those body punches
had done the work. Godfrey was in aw-

know it.
twelfth round without saying a word,
but the pain became unbearable and
with a pitifu look on his face he
walked up to jackson and said:
please have pity on me; I have a wife
and children. Don't kill me, for heav-
ems sake
"Chambers did not think that God
frey was hurt and sent him up to the
slaughter round after round until the
nineteenth when Godfrey stepped to
the center and acknowledged defeat.
He was carried to his corner and then
put to bed. where he remained for
many days.
When the truth became known the
pugilistic experts realized that the
black man from Australia had intro
duced new style of fighting and
others soon took it up.
Among the most successful We're
Kid Lavigne and Terry McGovern
They won nearly all their fights by
playing for the body. Thus mode of
fighting that was laughed at twenty
years ago is now applauded as the
proper and successful method OF
today
Fitzpatrick brought Peter Jackson
to this country from Australia and
watched his work in the ring
very closely. When Jackson began to
go back in the pugilistic world F'itz-
patrick took up Lavigne. and the Sagi-
nav Kid was taught the same style OF
full. Both were known the world over
as terrible body punchers.

ROAST SIR THOMAS Upton
An English Paper Says He Seeks to
Advertise His Business.

LONDON, Oct. An attack on Sir
Thomas Upton by The Yachtsman, a
leading authority here, has caused a
veritable sensation in yachting circles
The friends of the baronet have rallied
to his defense and Indignantly deny
that the motives impugned to him have
been behind his eagerness to win the
America cup.
The attack which is in the form of
an editorial, follows:
The evident determination of Sir
Thomas Upton to challenge and race
for the America cup at any cost and
at any sacrifice, cOmpels us to adopt
an attitude at once anita gOnistic both to
him and to his methods. We do so
with confidence, knowing that we
speak for a large body of British
yachtsmen-if not, indeed, for all-and
feeling the responsibility of our duty
to the public.
o dNOlu l0l0CnlS maj eIS anu " ~
at once to the root of the matter, let
us say that we consider the America
cup, as far as Sir Thomas Upton is
concerned, to be from first to last a
huge advertisement. Business men who
know Sir Thomas Lipton's great ca
pacity are aware that his advertising
genius has raised him to his present pO-
sition. The America cup contest has
undoubtedly been his chief d'oeuvre in
this particular line, and has both di-
rectly and indirectly brought him
greater profit than any other effort he
ever made.
We think that an all too plant press
has already too long, limelighted the
show, and an all to simple public
meekly stood by and watched the pros
titution of its noblest sport. The all
devouring thirst for sport which can
only find vent in such blossomings we
cannot understand. Our home racing
