Once more It has been demonstrated
that the boosted pride Of Russia isl

allie in the face of a determined stand
by another nation, whose demands are
backed by ships, men and guns. Rath-
or the policy at present seems to be
t, get all that is possible out of an
irdefensible action before the time
comes to recede.
When the smolensk and st. Peters
burg emerged from the DaidenelIes,
in the guise of merchantmen, and then
speedily mounted guns. ran up the
war flags and proceeded to hold up
ships of neutral nations suspected
(s,-me rightfully, doubtless) Of carry

sla met the cry Of protest from the
civilized world with brave show Of
injured innocence, and her papers de-
clared, with all the carmarks of Off
cal inspiration that she was within
her rights and would stand upon them.
But the protest lodged by Great
Britain was of very businesslike
character, accompanied by the depar-
ture of a considerable squadron to
Alexandria. This was followed by a
gradual calming of the tone of the
Russian press and an ultimate declar-
ration, officially, that while the ships
had a perfect right to hoist the war
flag and search for contrahand, "it
shouldn't occur again" Orders had
been despatched it was said, to this
effect to the commanders of the yes
sells in question.
But something Slipped cog" so

British ship was held up as before,

sink or capture here. The orders

crooked his elbow little more and
held his arm well in toward his side
while swinging. In this way the arm
shoots out more nearly straight from
the body and even If it misses It's OBJ
ject the arm is not likely to injury of
any sort.)
Another grievous source of injury Is
in breaking the bones of the hand
against the elbow Of your opponent in
these fiay-like swings-in body blows
particularly. To illustrate what I
mean look at the picture entitled
Breaking hand on the elbow" This is
one of the most painful injuries that
can be experienced. 1t is purely acci-
dental, but yet may be avoided IL the
swing Is delivered rightly, with the
knuckles turned well over, the elbow
crooked and the arm kept well inward,
close to the body. Then 1t will land as
shown in the companion picture above,
entitled How the blow should have

Still another means of self-injury is
found in the old style of guarding with
the forearm of either arm, which is
still very common, instead Of the new
method of receiving the blow in the
open palm. Severe bruising tif not act

The San Francisco call., 1904-04-17

In this way II the fight Is at all vfciouaL
But Of all things the tendency of al
most every fighter Of the day to wear
bandages in the ring is the cause of
more injured bones and ruined hands
than anything else. 1t is all so need
less. Not one in a hundred fighters
ever applies the bandages properly. or
perhaps knows any good reason why
he wears them at all, except on the
much exaggerated theory that they are
absolutely necessary to save the
knuckles. Invariably instead Of doing
good work they work their own injury.
The reasons for this are plain To
begin with the bandages are usually
applied in the dressing room. when the
fighter is comparatively cool before en-
tering the ring. His body is at a nor
NAL temperature. And in this stage
the adhesive rubber tape is wound
round and round the knuckIes, the
wrist and even the thumb, and allowed
to remain thus all through the fight

and swell and swell, until the ban
dages, instead Of being q help, are a
positive and dangerous hindrance. The
bandages do not stretch one lot. They
stick fast for just the purpose they
were intended. If anything gives 1t is

they were designed to protect.
To obviate this difficulty, IL bandages

after being applied and before the
gloves are donned for the contest. This
protects the knuckles fully, while leav-
ing the hand free to expand as much
as it will witk the heat
The disregard Of these simple little
rules often works more injury to fight
ers than all the gruelling their oppo-

Britt's case. self-ipjury is the very
worst sort since it often results In in

hind 1t. The fighter uses nothing more
than the strength of the arm alone,
instead Of getting all the weight of his
body behind the punch, as he would
do II he fought more nearly erect. CThe
photograph on this page shows the
wrong way of striking, with the fingers
down.)
Another and frequent source of
broken bones is both the right and
left hand swing. Not one boxer in fifty
lands either of these blows properly,
and the result is invariably a broken
thumb. That used to be one of the
great difficulties with Jeffries. In near
ly all his early fights he dislocated his
thumbs. and it was not until he had
been taught how to strike properly
that he escaped injury and at the same
time added immeasurably to his
punching power.
The fault is that fighters DO not
learn. or else they forget, that the
correct swing-correct not merely from
the beauty and skill of the science, but
because under all circumstances it Is
the most effective-shouid not be de-
livered with the arms spreading wide
from the body and landing like flaws.
1t should not strike against the side
Of the hand, in full impact with the
thumb. as so many modern fighters
land. In fact the thumb should never
under any circumstances strike the
opponent. 1t is not an effective blow.
and self-injury is the invariable re-
suit.
(To illustrate more clearly what I
mean, look at the picture entitled
Breaking the thumb on the Jaw"
on this page. Now contrast with It
with the knuckles.")
The correct way to land a swing Of
any sort for either the head or the body.
with either hand, in order to escape
injury to yourself is to turn the hand
over. palm down, crook the elbow so
that the first knuckle will strike
fair and square against the
spot aimed at. and the blow
is not only safe but terribly
damaging. And to land this well so
that 1t is something more than a mere
blow with the arm only-a swing with
the full weight of the body behind it,
as every blow should have-keep the
arms as close to the sides as possible.
II this rule is carried out 1t is next to
impossible to strike with the thumb.
1t is the violation Of this rule that
accounts for so many wild swings in
the ring. A fiay-like blow gives your
opponent every chance in the world to
duck under It: to step back 30 that 1t
whizzes harmlessly past his nose or
step in close so that it passes around
the back Of his head.
1t is more than likely that this is
how Britt fractured his right arm;
from q hay-like swing wherein the
forearm instead of the tightly closed

Corbett's" head. Had he observed the
rule that a swing must be but very
slight variation of straight-arm
punch in its delivery, except that the
elbow is crooked while the fist is turned
over, palms down, he might have COL
lided happily with Young Corbett's"
jaw.
(Pictorially this dangerous way Of
breaking ones own bones is shown at
the upper left-hand corner of the page
The one entitled Breaking wrist or
arm on the back OF the head" shows in
all probability how Britt broke his arm.
The other entitled Correct way to land

should have reached it's mark had he

blow, executed with the elbow turned
slightly inward toward the body. In
this way the full impact of the blow
is given with all the knuckles of a
tightly closed fist. There is no danger

short chubby fingers, like Young Cor

on this. page shows the proper way of
holding the hand and arm in delivering
a straight left hand punch. Also the
picture Of the lower right hand side of
the page showing how the fist should
land against an opponents face.)
Now it is a physical impossibiIity TO
strike a correct left-arm punch from
a crouching position. In the first
place, the fighter with the crouch uses
his left shoulder as one of his main
defenses for his head and Jaw. This
necessarily compels him to turn his
arm and hand over. palm downward.
Therefore, when he strikes a straight
arm blow, or rather attempts to-for

fighters TO cultivate new blows,
dangerous looking poses and
Il characteristic crouches is chiefly
responsible for broken bones and
manned hands in the ring. In the re-
cent battle between Young Corbett and
Jimmy Britt the latter's most serious
injury was self-inflicted- In just about
the middle OF the contest while swing
ing at Corbett he broke his right arm

was the second time in his career that

crouch.
Britt. like many other boxers OF the
same school, fights from position that
does not give him the best use OF his
hands. The crouch may have all sorts
OF advantages as a defensive attitude,
rendering it difficult for an opponent
TO reach either head or body with a
damaging blow. but at the same time
il is almost equally impossible to strike
an effective punch from this attitude.
Not only is the driving power impaired,
but the aim is bad The fighter with
a crouch cannot hit as straight and
sure as the one who stands more nearly
erect. The reasons for this are OBJ
vious TO those who have studied the
game and ought to be doubly so to
those who take an active part in it.
