started in to train. Reilly has put him.
self under the direction of Pete Baron,
the famous trainer. Pete is great
example of the prophet having honor
everywhere save in his own country,
but the lad from the Coast knows a
good one when he sees him, and young
Reilly has made a very wise choice III
electing to train under the good old
veteran at the Healani Boat Club.
The first workout was no easy fun
for the little scrapper. Pete put him
through short course of sprouts that
would make the average athlete call
s.pau,' and even Reilly found some
of the stunts hard on his unused mus
cles.
BY O'Clock Reilly had changed to
training costume, which consisted of
trunks and light shoes. First Of ali he
took the skipping rope, and danced a
monotonous tum-tum on the boards for
about ten minutes When he got
through with the rope the perspiration
was rolling freely and the hard exer-
else had brought brightness to the
eyes of the skipper.
Pete gave him about two minutes
rest and then called him over to cor
ner of the boathouse where the stairs
lead to the loft. "Up,' he said, land
then down as quickly as you can go
and keep it up till tell you to stop"
So Reilly ran up the stairs and then
down again, slowly at first, but with
more and more speed as his trainer
urged him on.
After the stair stunt, Reilly was told
to lie on his back with his feet under
the bilge of boat. Then he raised his
body to a perpendicular position ten
times and looked as though he hoped
that was all. But Pete called him out
on the floor and put him through a
course of exercise for the stomach mus
cles that made the patient gasp.
After the floor work, Reilly had a
short rest, and then the pillows were
produced, and, one of the sparring part
ners, Arthur Bouquet, appeared. Ar
thur weighs about 145 pounds, and is
a very lively boxer; he has all the
signs of clever welterweight, and has
punch hidden in both arms. :.
The two boxed three rounds of two
minutes each, and only the softness of
the gloves kept the claret confined in
the veinous bottle. Young Bouquet
used his straight, long left to good adj
vantage and held Reilly off for some
time, but the latter showed his clever
ness by ducking round the long arm and
landing some good ones on the body
and face.
Trying out with lad that outweigh
ed him by at least ten pounds, Reilly
showed very good class. There is no
doubt that he is really clever and can
duck and clear with great precision
He has a very awkward lead with his
left, kind of overthrow, but it seems
to be effective, and, being his natural
style of leading, may prove to be a
good opener for his right.
Being the first try-out, Reilly did not
work very hard nor let himself 60 But
he loosened up once or twice from
crouch and battered the bigger lad back
to the entrance of the boathouse.
Judging by the three rounds of spar
ring. Reilly has a certain amount of
class and signs of more class to come
He crooks his left elbow outward in
way that would invite cleverer man
to break his arm, and he leads with his
left as though he were chopping hay,
but he is so naturally quick that he
lands.
All this lad needs is little stern re-
buking and coaching in the great sci
enee of leading for foozle and slam
ming with the right, and he will GER
tainly get that same coaching from one
Pete Baron.
Pete held the watch in one hand and,
to use Madame Malapropism, watch
ed his ward with the other. He missed
no point of the sparring and kept tab
on every blow. After the bout he gave
no advice or remonstrance, but told his
man to take a short, sharp swim and
then get a nice, quiet sun-dry.
There was no bag work and no
shadow boxing. Reilly has quite little
ballast amidships that must be unship-
ped before he does fancy work, and
Pete s method is ideal for doing that
same thing. :. /
After the workout Reilly said: f'say
that boss of mine knows his business
all right. I never had that kind of
work before, but can see where it is
going I'd give me strength in my stom-
aeh muscles, just where I need it,
