BOXING AS MEANS

Mike Donovan of New York Attn

Mix Donovan. whose hair is now snowy
white. and who might be called old II one
Judged him merely by his years. boxes on
an average OF eight rounds daily and
never complains OF that tired feeling. DON
ovsn is instructor Of the swell New York
Athletic Club. and his duty IS to box with
all members who are anxious to perfect
themselves at the fighting game. Recently

old man. He simply said. Boys. take

donovan has been boxing instructor OF
The New York Athletic club since 1856.
and the four youths with whom he boxed
are his best pupils. Although In his six
tieth year. he is as vigorous as a man
half his age. Donovan went to the club
as the middle weight champion of the
world and practically retired with his title

Donovan does not regard il as remark
able for a man of three score years to be
able to beat folks less than half that
age with the gloves. He thinks that any
BODY who knows anything about boxing
could DO the same thing. crowded he led
a regular life and possessed a good
physique.
Donovan points with pride to the fact

with other boxing instructors who can
still hold their own in any fair pugilistic
company. He particularly refers TO Profess
scr Van Slack. who is said to be In his
cighty-fifth year.
Van Slack was teaching the manly art
when I was a mere kid" said
and is still at it to-day. I am told. He
is a strong. hale old man and as clever as
they make them. But Van Slack never
fought in the ring as some other iustr,1c-
tors 1 know of. A person must have some
ring experience to make a successful
teacher. The ring is an excellent school
for endurance and gives you a chance to
study training methods and develop speed.

has made his guard all the more inn
penetrable.
You see. in an ordinary person the
wrists are flexible. They must he. he
cause the wrists and forearm are a fight
er's stock in trade when 1t comes IN
properly. They tell me that Van
can stop a pretty hard blow by tust
holding I'D his hand and allowing the
punch to meet the hollow Of his palm.
But 1t wouldn't do for an ordinary
man who is constantly exercising To have
such stiff joints. The chances are that tc-
fore long one of the bones in the wrist
would snap and become useless.
There Is no harm in repeating that
the world. 1t develops the lungs. heart. |

'Iss, sure, by" Ezekiel said in awe.
The tide 'ud put un out"
Put un out 10 echoed, sagely.
The fog thickened Night came on,
an untimely dusk. Fog and night,
ccalescing, reduced the circumference
of things material to a yet narrowing
circle Of black water. The feel Of the
fog was like the touch Of cold, wet
hand In the dark. The night was heavy;
1t was, to the confusion of sense, fall
ing; 1t seemed to have been strangely
vested with the properties Of density
and weight; it was, in truth, like a
great pail descending, depressing,
stifiing. Ezekiel, covering in the bow,
searched the mist for ghostly dangers
for one, a gigantic lobster. with claws
long as a schooner's spars and eyes like
the Shag Rock light. But 10 had no
time for terror; he was fighting a fight
that was already old, OF which the his
tory was written on the hand on the
steering oar-a hand too small to span
the butt, but misshapen, black to the
knuckles, calloused in the palms, with
the blood of cod CONCEALED under the
nails, and fostering salt water sores on
the wrist. Time for visions OF frothing
Holsters? 10 had none. He was true
son Of that shore. and he had the oar
and the sheet in his hands.
"Thick's bags" 10 remarked, alluding
to the fog.
Ezekiel was silent.
10 was steering by the wind. but
fba wind veered gcarelv Dercentihle
and the boy did not perceive the
change at all. A crafty enemy! Thus
was his childish inexperience turned
against him. He had laid his course
cunningiy for the harbor before
GulI's Nest Point had been wiped out;
the course was now to the north by
half a mile. With the deviation and
drift he would meet the coast at the,

'They do be hill further out" said
10. Keep a lookout, by
A rift in the clouds disclosed the sun
as 1t sank-as 1t went out like a candle
in a sudden draft. The arm of fog
closed in on the boat; the shoreward
cloud crept past the harbor and reach
ed for Gull's Nest Point. a mile to the
south, the last distinguishable land
mark. The boys were silent for a long
time. Ezekiel watched whale at play
to leeward; he wondered concerning
his fate If 1t should mistake the punt
for its young, as had happened to Uncle
Sammy Arnold long ago, when there
were more whales and they were
bigger, much bigger, as Uncle Sammy
had said. 10 was sunk In the bitter
ness of realizing failure; he saw moth
ing but a surface of water that was
fiat-fiat as the splitting table.
'"Tis past the turn o. the tide" said
10 at last, like man giving up hope.
"Iss, sure!" said Ezekiel, blithely.
'Us'll come about"
"Us'I come about" said 10.
The theory had failed. 10 headed the
boat for shore. He shaped the course
by Gulrs Nest Point, measuring the
shore from its fading outline to the
probable location Of the harbor; then
he noted the direction OF the wind,
feeling it with his ear. his cheek and
the tip of his nose, fixing It, thus, in
his mind. When he looked to Gulps
Nest Point again the black mass had
vanished.

'Noa!" said 10, sharply.
'I 'low," Ezekiel said with some def
erence, "he've a hoale t. go to-"
"Noa, b'yi" 10 exclaimed, fretfully.

deepening politeness.

his father had struck in a blizzard
years ago. The boy planned to take
the punt within sound OF the surf,
then to ship the sail and creep along

one way; but 1t was a perilous way,
for the surf, being hidden and sound

noise rises and subsidies through long
distances; its strength Is here. there,
elsewhere, everywhere, nowhere; It IS
elusive, confusing as a great noise.
The surf also has a clutch; a foot be-
yond its grasp and 1t is to be laughed
at; an inch within its eager fingers
and 1t Is irresistible. The breakers of

great; their strength and depth and
leap are great There was no peril in
the choppy sea over which the boat
was now pushing; the peril was In the
breakers. Watchfulness could evade
1t, but with every boats length Of
progress 10 was plunged In deeper
wonder. He was evolving a new theory
of the tide, which was a subtle dis
traction. Was the spell OF this nys-
terry to undo him? Thus 10, as for
Ezekiel, he was afraid Of the mon
sters he had conjured up in the mist,
so-as his people invariably do in
dread and danger-he turned to his
religion for consolation. He thought
deeply Of hell.
