With the opening of the boxing game in Tennessee we ought to see a revi- val of the sport in the South The measure which was sent to the Cover nor last Wednesday provides that eight round bouts are 10 be permitted and that Ave- -ounce gloves are to be used
 This ought to be a great boost for the game in the South. and. while the limit on the number of rounds Is rather small. 1t still gives chance for some fast contests. The six-round game in Philadelphia always proved satisfac- tory, although the absence of decisions gave a chance for argument Tn New York and Boston the bouts of slightly longer route also managed to fll the bill
 Still. Tennessee can at last witness good, clean sport without danger of interference and without any likeli- hood of such a happening us the sud den stoppage of the Schreck Hart bout in Lexington some time since. Jhere Is a strong probability that Memphis may become one of the boxing oeateFs

 After the back is worked to the mans satisfaction he goes to the sides, trimming either straight up or down and only as far up or down as he can make flat surface. This in wether gives Il square block 10 the body and that neatness of middle that delights both the judges and the butchers eye. The rump is carried back nearly rec tangularly the dock squared to show width and plumpness and the leg of sides to increase its apparent meati- ness. The animal in a general way then approaches the ideal block
 However. the head. fereauarters and | space between back and side yet remain The belly is only touched to remove low hanging tags, and the next opera ton Is to round in the space on the body yet untouched. As little as possible is removed here.
