Stopping Right-Hand Body-Punch.
the palm of the glove outward in
stopping blow. Keep the hand
open. This presents a larger surface
to the glove of your opponent and
will do more to prevent his blow from
landing than if your fist was closed.
In guarding always keep your el-
bows close to your sides. This takes
in the benefit of the forearm, and if
the glove be held close to the face
all that side Of the body is protected.
Never land a punch without having
the block ready to meet the counter.
Every time you start a punch remem-
Der that your opponent intends to
come back with another punch.
The particular art of the game is to
land a blow without a return; but
every time you make an attack you
render yourself liable to an offensive
demonstration from the man with
whom you are sparring.
One of the best uses of the hands
in boxing is not to use them. When a
blow is struck the proper way to avoiu
1t is not to stop it with the hand or
forearm. but to slip it. BY slip
ping" a blow, l mean that you should
get away from it in such a ma-er that
no part of your oponent's arm touches
you. This is known as "ducking" and
"side-stepping." For instance, If your
sparring partner swings his right for
the side OF your face, lower your head
and let the blow go over. Do not
duck" in toward him. Let your head
go under the blow and away from Il
to the side. This prevents your
opponent from landing an upper-cut.
which he would do if you were close
enough to him.
Always remember that the hands
are a most important factor in boxing.
Never land a blow that will hurt the
hands. When you lead a straight
punch. keep the thumb up. When
you swing, always keep the knuckles
up. A blow is landed with the first
two knuckles Of the hand.
There is another thing to tell Q
young man if he wants to succeed in
boxing: Take your chance when you
see it, and hit from where your
hand is.
Why do l win fights? Because /
see the chance when it comes, and I
take it.
Every little while a man leaves him
self open, but it is only for a second
II is not even a second. ii is less than
the tenth part Of a second. You must
seize that chance and strike the In.
slant you see the opening.
The foolish fighter draws back his
hand to hit harder, but by the time he
has drawn his arm back the man has
protected himself, and the chance is
gone.
What say to young men, and Whist
I say to everybody. is this: Do Just
what do. If you want to make a
success in life, always hit when you
see the chance; do not draw your arm
back; hit from where your hand is,

The Correct Boxing Position.
Oae particularly. This gives you
length of reach and ease of arm
movement. Keep your left arm out,
but not straight Always have your
elbows bent a little. A perfectly
straight arm is easily hurt. If the arm
is bent a little at the elbow it gives it
strength and QL.ckness of action.
Swing your body with the waist as
a pivot Do not have it set" that is.
held rigid. Always keep it swinging,
not so hard as to tire you. but so that
1t Is ever ready to start in any direc.
ton. The body can start much
quicker IL 1t be moving than If it be
still.
Getting Away from Attack.
A boxer with his shoulders about
his ears and his body held rigid can.
not move quickly. When you jump
back from an attack do not alter the
position of your body; in other words,
go back with the body held in the
same manner as when you began to
spar. The reason for this Is, that
when you land away, on your feet,
you are still in a position for either
attack or defense should your op-
ponent follow you.
The man who would evade an on
slaught by thrusting back his head
and body so that he is almost falling
backward is all wrong. His ad-
versary could follow the attack and
easily have the backward man at
his mercy.
Fill the Lungs.
When boxing, keep your stomach
in and your chest out: not stinly, but
naturally. II may be awkward at first,
but you will soon learn how easy It
is and wonder how you ever stood
any other way.
BY keeping the stomach in and the
chest full of air you enjoy all the
lung strengthening benefits of boxing
and keep the stomach out Of harms
way. That part Of the body is al
ways a point of attac.. and should be
protected.

hands while boxing.
