HARDSHIPS ENDURED BY THE
PUGIlIST IN THE DRYING
OUT PROCESS.
Methods Employed to Secure the
Proper Weight for a Ring
Battle.

One of the hardships of a pugilists
life, and there are many, is the dry
ing out process. To the INITIATED this
term may have no particular meaning
but to the scrapper it is worse than a
scOurge or the heaviest and most eff
fective blow ever delivered in a prize
ring. Drying out is making the re-
quired weight for a fight. In order to
do this successfully almost total alb
stinence from liquids is essential. Any
person who has ever trained for a
battle can readily realize what this
means. especially those who have cul-
tivated the habit of drinking with
their meals.

Yanger was matched to fight Hughy
