l have seen Tom Sharkey, who was
one Of the heaviest hitters among the

such terrific force that, missing his

and body and gathering extra momen-
tum from the long distance it travels,
is far more powerful than the straight
arm blow, but ION the same principle
of straight line being the shortest
distance between two points,, it is
also a much slower blow. II your SPAR
ring partner led a straight blow for
your face at precisely the same in
slant that you swung for his face. and
II neither of you moved the head, his
blow would land before yours. For
that reason, the swing should always
be used as counter and not as lead.
Your antagonist leads for you with a
straight blow. You block or duck his
blow and counter with a swing. In
such a case your swing stands good
chance of landing on him. But II you
swing for him before he leads, he will
have time to send in straight blow,
and to block or avoid your swing
There is another and still more cogent
reason why you should only use the
swing as a counter. When you swing
you leave one side of your body and
face practically unguarded. Hence II
is necessary to refrain from swinging
until your opponent has other work
to attend to, which will render him un
able to take advantage of the opening
Let him lead, therefore, before you
swing. This is worth remembering.
To swing for the body, use the
same method as in swinging for the
head, except, of course, that the ''cir

be arrested.
Boys Mother Fears 6IackmaiI.
Mrs. Knobel thought when she first
heard Of the letters that 1t was only
another attempt on the part of Amann
to get money from her. She did not
suspect that he had actually killed her
son.
Amann is said to have relatives In
Germany who are Of the Weather
class, and frequently got money from
them during the earlier years of his
career in Chicago, but for the past
six or seven months has lived IN abb
ject poverty.
In the hospital Amann said he had
been injured in being put on street
car by conductor four years ago, and
brought suit against the Consolidated
Street Railway company for damages.
in which he was given a Judgment
amounting to $500. The case was
appealed, and pending the appeal he
has had practically no means Of live
lihood except charity. His attorneys In
the case were Gormann and Ruben
stein.
Federal Authorities May Act.
After the autopsy and when the in
quest was resumed State's Attorney
Hanna announced that it was prob
able that the case was one for the
federal authorities rather than the
state because 1t had happened on q
military reservation. The inquest was
adjourned for two hours.
Investigation by the coroner and
post officers determined that it waa
outside of the post that the body was
found and the coroner's inquest wa
continued.
Coroner Taylor took the body Of the
boy to Waukegan, where the inquest
will be continued. Amann was also
taken to Waukegan In an automobile
to await the verdict of the coroner'f
jury and subsequent action on the part
of the grand jury.
