course, aware of the expression on
their antagonists face and the dispo-

boxers) have certain line" on his

A boxer must be very sure of him.
self before venturing to let his eyes
stray from those of his opponent. Yet,
once having mastered the trick Of
gaging the foes actions without the
exchange of chances, the custom Of
seemingly looking down while boxing
may at times prove useful.
Your adversary cannot then dis
cover SO easily what you are about
to do. He will, moreover, be con-
fused at not meeting your eye. For
anything unaccustomed tends to con-
fuse the average boxer-the absence
of a return gaze, the fact of his foes
shifting the right foot and arm to the
front etc.
I do not recommend this looking
away unqualifedly. I merely sug-
gest that you occasionally try the ex-
pertinent.
One of the most important items
to remember in a quick bout is the
defense of the jaw. The man who
stands with chin and neck thrust for
ward or who allows himself even mo-
mentarily to assume such a posture,
is taking a great and unnecessary
risk. He is making his most vulner-
able spot unduly vulnerable.
Keep the jaw "in," as much as
possible. Let the neck muscles en-
force and protect It,. Keep the face
turned slightly to the right, that the
area exposed may be lessened, and
that the left shoulder may partially
defend the jaw from hooks or swings.
In the mix-ups, one cannot always
follow this advice. In such an event,
take your chances, and minimize
those chances by clever boxing.
] once nicknamed Mccoy 1.-The To-
gician of the prize ring" on account
of the many plans of attack and de-
Tense that he would invariably reason
out before a fight. Sometimes these
plans came to nothing. Sometimes
they were good. Here are two of his
best blows:
Leading (straight) with the right
or left, the fist being so turned that
it's back was inward and the palms
out, he would land his blow, and, as
1T landed, he would sharply twist his
hand outward, using the center
sknuckles as pivot, until the palm
was inward and the back Of the hand
out. This he called his "corkscrew
blow" and he claimed that the twist
thus given added greatly to the force
of the impact. It is certain that he
struck very heavy blows at close
quarters, and the "corkscrew'' mo-
ton. scientifically performed, may
have been the true secret of 1t.
The second of his blows that I shall
take up now was as follows:
He would lead straight left for
his opponents face. The other would
guard the blow throwing it outward.
AS he did SO, Mccoy would allow his
left arm to go in the direction in

the liver would often wear down and
conquer even a strong opponent. In
a former lesson I showed you Nc
Coy's back hand swing for the jaw.
This brings me to one Of the most
intricate and effective blows ever in
vented, namely: the famous Shift
invented Gin it's present form) by
Fitzsimmons. This shift won Fitz-
simmons the championship Of the
world, when, at Carson City, in 1897,
he used it with such terrific effect on
Corbett.
To learn it correctly requires a lit
tie practice and considerable accuracy.
When FitzsimmOns taught me the
trick it cost me a half hours steady
work and a sprained wrist before I
could thoroly master 1t.
Here it is: Stand on guard. Feint
for your opponents face with your
left; then bring the right foot forward
in front of the left, far enough to
bring you close to your opponent. AS
you take this forward step with right
foot swing with your right arm for
your opponents jaw. Swing and step
must be in perfect accord. Now, if this
swing lands on his jaw Gmpelled, as
1t is, by the motion of your body and
your quick forward step) you need
ask for no better luck.
But the chances are that the swing
will not land. Seeing it coming and
seeing your advance, the other fellow
will throw up his left arm (perhaps
both arnns) to guard his head. That is
your opportunity. You are now stand
ing right foot forward and with the
right side of the body forward. Send
your left hand across to his solar
plexus. Send it right across your body
in straight lead. One reason why the
usual right-hand blow is so powerful
is that it goes across the body, getting
momentum and weight by the distance
and manner of it's travel. Now the
left-hand blow delivered in right-hand
fashion gains an added force, be-
comes in fact Gas Fitzsimmons termed
IT'D "a right-hand blow struck with the
left hand"

Among the many correspondents
who have written to request additional
advice concerning this series I have
received one or two letters from boys
asking what I thought of prize fight
ing as a profession. Let me say here
for their benefit and for that of others
that prize fighting is a degrading,
brutal and Improbable trade, which
no white man ought to adopt. It is
better to work in trench or sub

away from the crazy notion Of becom-
