developments Detailing her. Quite the
contrary, IL she have undue flesh in any
portion Of her anatomy she will lose 1t in
boxing; and paradoxical as II may seem.
wherever she is unduly lacking in flesh
there will the padded gloves add a most
graceful and gracious padding OF flesh.
What more could the heart OF woman
desire?
But there Is one word OF caution to be
voiced, and that must be said with en-
phasis. Boxing is no sport, no pleasure
for any girl who has any weakness
organic weakness OF the heart She
should first consult her physician and
get his unqualified consent; but that
gained she may go merrily on her way
to beauty via the boxing glovesl
The gloves can be selected at some re-
liable sporting goods store-four-ounce
gloves will be amply heavy for begin
ners. These are usually of a heavy
l.grade Of kid. so that they will stand the
racket, and well stuffed with curled hair,
just the same as a mattress, so that there
is no serious injury inflicted in swinging
blow with them.
Now the very first thing to learn In
| boxing is-seems queer, doesn't it?-how
70 stand on your feetl Unless you can
stand so that your body is perfectly bal
anced you cannot possibly become a
graceful boxer. This point should be
given fully as much and as serious atten-
ton as the questions of attack and de-
fense; and no one can hope TO become a
proficient boxer If he or she maintains
a faulty attitude of the body, and espe-
cially of the feet and legs.
The extremely graceful carriage Of pro-
/ fessional boxers--and their athletic cos
tune OF tights and sleeveless sweater or
Jersey shows off every line Of their ply
siaue to advantages almost proverbial;
and TO such a science have they pushed
this matter Of body balance and correct
attitude that the man who is quick upon
his feet and quick in his body movements
will often overcome an advantage OF
twenty or thirty pounds in weight on the
part of his opponent. With the correc'
body and foot balance, too, the blood
circulates more easily, and there soon
comes buoyancy to the step and car
riage whiek is most attractive to look
upon.
To take the correct attitude, stand with
the feet firmly planted on the floor

tice. or the Chinese slippers so many

juries TO the hands and wrists are rem
dered next to nothing; while when the
fist Is made in the wrong way disloca-
tions and bruises are matters Of frequent
occurrence. Here is where the ounce or
prevention Is worth more than the whola
pound Of curel
In closing the fist bring the tips Of the
fingers well over the palm of the hand,
with the thumb turned inside and over
the first Joint of the first or index finger.
This will prevent the point - the thumb
from comi~ in contact with your oppo-
nent's guard and lessen the shock OF con-
tact when two fists come together.
Now the primary motive in taking box
ing lessons is TO learn how to hit, and to
hit hard and effectively with the least
effort and fatigue to yourself; to deliver
a blow upon your opponent effectively
and at the same time avoid a return blow
from him.
Always endeavor to step in and strike
as quickly as possible, and then swing
your body out Of his range before he has
a chance to return at you. Make your
blow quick, clean and decisive. Do not
make too many preliminary moves. The
quicker the blow the less opportunity for
its return.
Master the simple moves 1lrst ana mas
ter them thoroughly. The fancy blows
will follow when the foundation for them
Is properly laid. The lessons in boxing
should be graded just like those at school
or in music, the simple and easily mas
tered ones first and some little difficulty
developed In each new lesson which must
be mastered ere another lesson be at
tackled.
A good plan It Is to alternate the Of
fensive and the defensive boxer; and In
this way both sides Of the art will be
learned at once. The art of attack is one
thing, and the art of defense another;
and the graceful boxer must be equally
expert in both.
And with all her skill In the so-caIled
manly art she need not abrogate one jot
OF title Of her womanliness, he at all
manish or masculine in her ways. or
she need not be rough and aggressive.
On the contrary, her newly acquired
alertness may be used TO her own advan-
tage. She win become less dependent
without becoming in any way offensive
| ly independent; and her quicker judg-
ment, her keener observation, her more
ready action will all rebound TO her own
cleverness. as well as to her more perfect
health and beauty.
Evening journal., 1905-01-26

and place your left foot in advance Of
your right anywhere from eight TO eigh-
teen inches, according TO your height and
length OF stride. Swing the body back
and forth n few times so that you ara
perfectly easy on your feet and find
that your body swings well with your
feet so far apart. Always place the feet
so that the body swings easily. This is
fundamental rule, and must be borne
in mind always. 1t Is necessary at all
times to maintain a perfect balance, with
the weight Of the body divided equally
on both feet.
The left foot should be placed flat on
the floor, pointing straight out In front
toward your opponents left. And the
right should be held with the heel an
inch or so off the floor, behind the
left foot, thus affording immediate
opportunity to swing quickly in any di-
rection on the ball of the foot. Practice
this attitude first standing still, then
moving the body quickly to avoid inn
aginary blows until perfect and complete
balance is established.
Now you must learn how TO hold your
/ hands; and here is where the trial will
come to the girl who has been brought
up right-handed exclusively. In infancy
one is wont to use the left hand fully as
much as the right, and many children
even more so. But as the little girl
grows older she is taught that it is wrong
to use the left hand, and pretty soon she
learns her little lesson all too well, and
her left hand becomes almost useless.
A silly thing this to teach a child, and
one that will often incapacitate her in
after life.
However, to come back TO the boxing.
The left hand, not the right, is the box
er's main dependence. 1t is the left hand
that delivers the blows. the right hand
and arm being held across the body II
receive and counter body blows, and so
protect the stomach, the abdomen and
the short ribs. Hold your left hand up
toward your opponents chin, just as
though you were trying to land one on
her face or to give her an uppercut undel
the chin with your knuckles. Study this
out and practice it carefully, for eael
step must be fully mastered ere you takf
up the ext.
In boxing it is the fist, the clinchet
hand, not the flat, open palm, that give
the blows, and it is quite important tC

advantage. When done the right way

the last generation hold up their hands

"What next?"
Well. the modern maid swims aud rows

basket ball; and she has been known
even to take a hand, or rather bat, at
cricket. (But it must be confessed that
this latter event is more likely TO take

on this side of the Atlantic.)

thing but a feminine accomplishment.

womanly.
But every father Of girls win applaud
the desire to learn to box, and the more
strenuously will he ID so if he has ever

himself the more enthusiastic win he
wax to have his daughter become one,

For those who think Of boxing only
as a vulgar sport, and the resort OF the
pugnacious, one is tempted to quote one
OF the physicians to the late queen OF
England, the most womanly OF women
as her subjects delighted to term ner;
When prescribing a course in physlcal
development for tA children OF the then
Prince of Wales, tSs physician recon-
mended boxing, and suggested that one
~ the princesses being of an extremely
nervous temperament should be required
to do n daily double stunt with the gloves
In order that she might learn perfect
self-control.
The girl who is given to sudden bursts

nieees on any or no provocation at ALL
Who has no notion Of self-control and no
desire 10 cultivate or exercise it. that girl
sbould take up boxing without delay
oven n she has to limit her wardrobe,
bar matinee sprees, her candy and ice
creom sodas in order to do so. 1t will be
worth tbe price many times over to have
gained the one and single attribute OF
self-control.
And the girl who lacks concentration
who cannot fix her attention on anythins
for five consecutive minutes, will find
incalculable benefit in a bout with the
gloves. And she who is slow Of action
who deliberates too long, whose impulses
are wavering and whose judgment is Ia

BONAPARTE TO BE
SECRETARY NAVY
Baltimore Man to be Appointed to
Succeed Paul Morton.
HIS SELECTION A SURPRISE

Washington, June ]. - President
Roosevelt authorized the announce
ment that Charles J. Bonaparte. OF Bal
timore. Md. would be appointed secre
tary of the navy. to succeed Paul Nor
ton. who earlier in the day stated he
would retire July to go to New York
TO take charge of the plans for the con-
struction of the subway system for op-
Grafton in connection with the surface
lines.
The president also authorized the
statement that no other change In the
personnel of the cabinet was likely to
take place In the near future. Secre-
tary Shaw already has indicated his IN
tention OF retiring from the cabinet
PROBABLY next February Rumors OF
the retirement OF Attorney General
Moody have been published. but II Ia
understood to be his intention now to
continue in the cabinet for year and
a half and perhaps longer.
To all except President Roosevelt's
closest advisers the announcement OF
the selection Of Mr.. Bonaparte as the
head of the navy came as a distinct
surprise. although it had been deter
mined on by the president for some
time In anticipation of MIR. Morton's
retirement In all the gossip Mr.. Bo-
naparte has not been suggested as Mr.
Morton's possible successor. For many
years Mr.. Bonaparte has been an init
mate friend of the president. So great
is Mr.. Roosevelt's confidence In him
that. on many matters of national con-
Germ. he has sought his advice and
counsel. To determine accurately the
legal phases Of the postal frauds. the
president designated Mr.. Bonaparte
and Holmes Conrad to investigate the
subject. and on their report he TOOK
decisive action without hesitation.
