"The question has often been put to
me, What is prize fight If 1t isn't

why the boxers pull and haul hit in
the clinches, and so forth, or why
man will strike his opponent when
the. latter apparently is only half off

why the boxers shake hands at the

what is the sensation when a man is

Is no such a thing as a prize fight.
That word is n misnomer Thirty or
forty years ago It was different, for in
those days men fought with the bare
khuckles, ana the sport was brutal,
but the name prize fight has stuck
to the present day, and what some
people persist in calling a prize fight
is nothing more or less than a scien-
tifc exhibition of the art of attack
and self-defense. and of the same ma
ture as any other exhibition of sport
which is won by endurance and skill.
The exhibitions are not brutal.
Boxers pull, haul and hit in
clinches because some of them have
become accustomed to what is known
as inHghting and they are a great
deal better when boxing close to tha!r
opponents than in sparring at long
range. They try to tire out their op-
ponents, by the pulling and hauling
