Featherweight Champion Has

Young COrbett, the champion feather
weight of the world, has II new claim
to fame. lie is now an author. The
invlncible Denverite has written an
interesting book, entitled How to
Punch the Bag" In it he gives invalu-
able advice to all patrons of this fas
chatting branch of sport.
Young Corbett says in part
bag punching as science may well
be said to be development of com
paratlvely recent years. The genesis
of the present air inflated apparatus

Eddie Hanlon of San Francisco. who
recently lost 10 Young Corbett in IA
slashirg sixteen round battle in his ma
ccSsor to the present featherwelght
champions title.
Hanlon put up SO sensational battle
that experts agree that in year or
two lie will be better man than
Young Corbett and that il the Den
verite remains in the feather class u
couple of years longer he will fall a
victim to Hanlon's prowcsS.
Eddie is now only nineteen years old,

HANLoN SENDING HIS LEFT TO THE BODY
Their of his two fights with the cham
pion, or, in fact, in both combined.
Put two more years on lannon's shout
ders, and he will be a terror to every
featherweight that ever heard the rob-
ins MARBLE in the joyful springtime.
No man that saw the recent Young
Corbett-Hanlon fight in Frisco will
deny that the latter is one of the gam
est, fastest and cleverest lads that
ever donned the mitts. He received
punishment sufficient to put many a
bigger man sound to sleep, yet he kept
on his feet and gave the champion
some weighty bumps, even after Han
Ions hackers knew their cake to be
dough.

The second fight between Ioun@ Cor
belt and Eddie iIanlun for the fea ther-
weight championship of the world was
closely watched by fighters all over the
country, They unite in giving Corbctt
all the credit that IS due to him for his
fine showing. Winner as he is. Corheu
does not, however, get all the glory.
Every man of true sporting instincts
gives Ianlon his share of the glory,
though ii is the losing end. /; is the
consensus of opinion that UHDlon is
the only man today in the ring WIN
could have fought such battle with
Young Corhett.
Heayywelaht Champion Jilu Jefflies
says of Hanlon:
The Frisco boy is Il wonder. He gave
Young Corhett the grandest battle OF
his life, Corbett won because he was
the stronger and had perhaps shade
better of the punching. Hanlon. how
ever. was there all the time. and his
hooks and straight jabs bothered the
champion-in fact, according TO the
telegraph stories of the fight, the cham
pion at one stage of the game was
more than worried. Hanlon should
lead the featherweight bunch one cc
'sese days"

The most striking feature of Hanlon's
methods r. his crouch. He bends in
such a manner that his stomach is out
of harms way, and with his hands and
arms he succeeds, at the same time, in
covering his face, neck and heart. To
an opponent this pose is eXasperating,
to say the very least. With no opening
in sight, he must seek to draw out"

fuses to be drawn out" lied on"

1.-THE use Of punching bags has in
creased tremendously during the last
few years. This fact in itself is sig

generation are not prone TO throw away
time and money on worthless things.

A well known Chicago fistic authority
says of Hanlon and his fighting style:
Eddie Hanlon and his crouch-well,
there's the Jeffries crouch and the Nc
Govern crouch, but the young Frisco
lad who hopes to wear the laurels of
featherweight champion of the world
has n cro>lch that's all his own. 1t is
entirely different from that of anybody
else.
1T doesn't look as though an oppo-
nent could heap much serious punish
ment on him. There's not Il vital point
in his anatomy exposed. When he be
gins a fight he looks as though he were
tied mp in knots But he's just rs wiry
and ready for few deals in the pun
ishing line as his opponent, who may
not look like deformed being. \ cat

best description of Haalon's fighting

Noticeable features in the makeup
of the bag puncher are the grace Of his
carriage and the uniformity of his de-
velopment No muscle seems to be alb
normal and consequently unsightly. He
is easily singled out in a crowd by his
ease of movement. These attributes
go to form personal attractiveness and
magnetism. without which any man is
handicapped, no matter what may be
his occupation or station in life. The
man with an air of energy and accom-
plishment is the one who impresses
and cOfnpels. Should he lack these
qualities month or two of systematic
bag punching will supply them.
The value of the strength and other
physical assets given by bag punching
cannot be overestimated. \ mans
greatest possession is his body, there.
fore he should seek to make it as close
to perfect as possible. The weakling
has no chance to win in the strenuous
commercial. professional, social and po-
litical campaigns Of today. and the
sooner this fact is realized the better.
The novice should begin his punch.

fundamental and at the same time two
simplest blows. They are the left lead

Bakersfield. Cal, Feb. 22.-At 1880
today the engine attached to the west
bound Santa Fe limited took fire while
stopping at the Tehachapi station on
the Joint track OF the Southern Pacific
and Santa Fe. The engine was an oil
burner and the oil caught fire between
the tank and the engine, An explosion
followed, wrecking the locomotive and
setting fire 20 a handsome composite
coach Immediately behind, Both were
destroyed, From here the flames spread
to the depot, frame structure, which
burned rapidly to the ground. There
was a large amount OF powder in the
station building and when this exploded
II made an enormous conflagration,
which II was feared would spread TO
the town and completely destroy IL, as
1t has no fire protection and Is mostly
of frame building. The fire, however,
aid not get beyond the railroad prop
erty.
The telegraph poles and wires run
ming through the town were burned
down, severing all communication TO
the south. None Of the passengers or
train crew were injured.
The loss, including engine, car and
station. Is estimated by the railroad of.
iicials at about $4,000.
