FRENCHMEN LEARN
ART OF SELF DEFENSE
PARLEZ-VoUS BEING TAUGHT
HOW TO USE FISTS
Kid Mccoy Once Had a Bout with
Savate Champion, and His Cork
screw Punch Surprised
the Parisians

SEATTLE, Jan. 4.-Boxing has taken a
great hold in France. A few years ago the
Frenchman thought 1t terrible thing to
strike a blow with the fist, even when it
was covered with padded glove. Kick
ing, although ten times as dangerous, was
regarded as a gentlemanly accomplish
ment.
Now Paris has several boxing clubs.
Up to date the English boxers have had
a monopoly of the game in that dear
Paree. Pat OKeefe owns a large silk
banner that proclaims him the champion
of France.
Frank l9rne is just starting as manager
of a large boxing club in Paris. Soon the
sport will be booming. Kid Lavigne had
a boxing school In Paris for couple of
years, and Frank Erne worked with him
for a while, educating the French people
up to the fine points Of the fistic art,
Kid Mccoy was really the first Ameri-
can to show what could be done with the
padded fist The Kid was in Paris a few
years ago enjoying himself. AT that time
there was a great French savate cham
pion. This Frenchman, with gloves on
his hands and channels skin soles on his
shoes, had kicked several of the slow
English pugs into state of unconscious
ness. He was a popular champion.
The French promoters, hearing OF Nc
Coy's skill with the gloves, offered him a
match with the savate expert. Mccoy
smiled and accepted-for a consideration.
Mccoy and the Frenchman met In the
ring. The pavilion where the fight was
he'd was packed to the doors. All Paris
was there to see an American get the
same dose that had been handed out to
all English aspirants. All Paris was
anxious to back the toe against the fist.
When the bell rang Mccoy walked up
to the Frenchman and sidestepped the
first kick lightly AS the frogeater fol-
lowed with another Mccoy slipped out OF
range and dropped his hands. Then he
looked over the Frenchman's head and
laughed. The Frenchman glanced up TO
see what Mccoy was looking at. . =.
About half an hour later he woke up.
1t all happened so quickly that the peo-
ple at the ringside didn't realize that
Mccoy had slipped in a ''cork-screw
nunch" until, he was out of the ring and
headed for his dressing room. Then there
was a chorus of screams and shrieks and
sobs from the crowd. If those French
sports could have laid hands on the foxy
Kid at that moment they would have
scratched his eyes out. They piled into
the ring and wept over their unconscious
champion.
And the next day Mccoy blew in few
hundred more at the races.

LlEsHARDT IN PASADENA

Glenn Llebhardt. the crack pitcher of
the Cleveland baseball team of the Amer
lean league. is stopping in Pasadena. He
arrived in time to witness the tourna-
ment display and will remain to enjoy
the balmy weather OF Southern California
until reporting time In the spring.
Liebhardt does not expect to parsici-
pate in many games during the winter,
as IL is against the interest of the club
owners of the big league for their pitch
ers to take chances with their arms In
the off season. Charley Hartman, who
goes to Cincinnati next spring, has been
notified by President Hermann that 1t
would be better II he would not pitch
this winter, and as Hartman win obey
orders Pasadena loses his services He
had come to terms with Manager Dexter
to do box work during the Coast Writer
league season.

NEW coast record for seven furlongs
n was established at Santa Anita yes
IA terday, when Critic, carrying lV'
pounds and ridden by Harty, won the
sixth race on the card in the fast time
of 1:24 2-5 Ingham. fresh from some
good races at Oakland was half length
behind, with George S. Davis third
While this race was by no means billed
as the feature of the day it was one OF
the best. Preen, never better than even
money on the boards, was the selection Of
the talent with George S. D9vis next IN
demand and Critic the third choice
Preen rot nothing but beating and
when Critic tore through to win by half
a length the previous mark for the dis
lance was thrown in the discard.
For a Saturday afternoon and nice
seven-race card the crowd was extremely
slim, and although the books received a
good play from the surging mob in the
ring the grand stand was not half occu-
pied. The races more than justified the
fullest kind of a house, for they wers
fairly close and the winners received
enough support to make them worth
while.
Two real favorites managed to bring
home the bacon. Timothy Wen, which
looked like a good thing at to 8, was
literally butchered and closed at to 2,
winning the third race in a canter, seven
lengths to the good. Prolific, the real
choice in the last, although on almost
equal terms with Kirkfield Belle, managed
to keep his snout in front in the closing
number and rewarded those who backed
him at twos.
Nothing that could be classed as an
outsider entered the charmed circle dur
ing the afternoon, the nearest approach
being Bemay in the opening number
Willard and his followers played the mare
for good bets, and when Airs, the favor
lite, was almost left she got uV in time
to beat Anna May a nose on the post.
Marster Wins Feature
The feature of the card was the mile
and an eighth handicap, which cams
fourth on the program and for which five
of the best horses at Santa Anita in that
division sported silks. Marster and Col
Jack opened as favorites at ? to l, WITH
Edwin Gum and Frank Fllttner at fours
and Lisaro, the top priced one, a notch
higher.
Frank Flittner received the most play
and dropped to 2h, every one of this
others climbing up point or two. When
they went to the post Flittner was the
first choice. with Marster and Gum al
fours and Col Jack and Lisaro better
than they were when the odds were first
posted.
Edwin Gum loitered a bit when they
were sent on their way, and Preston took
Marsicr out in front to cut the running
Two .tr three lengths separated the Walsh
trick igom Col. Jack, which assumed the
second position at the quarter and kept it

last half and then backed up.
