ABEL'S MANAGER COMES
ACROSS WITH A LETTER
This letter explains itself.

Sporting Editor The Georg an
Dear Sir-I notice in a recent issue Of
local morning paper criticism of Jake
AbeTs lighting ability, written presume
bly, by some one strange to ring methods.
The criticism mentions the fact that Abel
can not be considered frst-cass light
weight until he disposes of such dubs as
Terry Nelson and the like. claiming that
the recent fight between Abel and Mel
son in Nashville although called a draw.
was really a victory for the Greek Fur
Their stating that Abel is always talking
about meeting Whitney. declaring that If
not able to dispose OF Nelson and such,
he had better steer clear of Frank Whit
ney if he does not want to go to the hos
ptaL
In answer, wish to state that Abel is
really first-Class lightweight, as his
record shows He has had 26 fights lost
only two of them, one of them a question
able decision He is open to meet the best
in the business in the lightweight divi-
sion
Abel has really disposed of Nelson in a
finish contest, held only recently Nelson
was stopped in Al rounds
In reference TO talking about meeting
Whitney, Abel is willing to meet Whitney
any time before club that will offer a
sufficient guarantee, or whose patrona ge
is such as will permit him fighting on a
percentage basis
Would also like to make a wager that
Whitney could not dispose of Nelson in
side of one TO 90 rounds, as | consider
Nelson the toughest lightweight in the
South
Thanking YOU for this favor l remain.
Respectfully,

Packey Mcfarland Makes Some Rules for Boxers
Fighter Defends His Career as a Real Profession

derstand that boxing is science. You
don't have to strike your hardest. for
points are what you are after. That
brings me to something that hear
often-"Packey can not knock out his
men"
Before l go fat+her I wish to
say that Packey can knock out his
men, but Packey doesn't believe in
that sort of boxing. If any man can
show me the advantage of rendering
insensible an opponent that is practi-
calIy at your mercy, 1 would like tc
know it.
Boxing Better Than Fighting.
firmly believe that the public APP
preciates a boxing exhibition more
than it does a fight This is not the
Gay of London prize ring rules. 1t is
the era of boxing. The states where
boxing is permitted strictly rule
against fighting, but favor boxing.
That is quite an argument to over
come. l believe strictly in elevating
the sport When two men enter the
ring it is not to slaughter each other,
but to box.
Take the Lille of prize fighter and
that of boxer. The latter perform
for years. While the former disappears
from the scene very quickly.
Again carrying around broken
nose or cauliflower ears is not the
incest thing when you quit the ring.
And very few fighters escape those
disfgurements. l have knocked out
men in my career but believe me I
didn't feel proud over the stunts
never have had any crowd yelling
Take them off" while | have been
fighting When l had man so help
less that he didn't have a possible
chance I always appealed to the ref
cree to stop the affair. In my many
bouts l always made it point to study
my man and then try to beat him to the
blow. This quickens the brain and will
be of benefit in latter years.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-06-26

business there is not single manager
promoter or anybody that had any
dealings with me who can say that
have violated an agreement.
Recently there have been quite a
few complaints over agreements being
treated contemptuously by some of the
budding stars. That is a terrible error,
for it should he realized by successful
fighters that promoters are entitled to
big consideration for the chances they
take in staging bouts. One tip worth
taking is. never get swelled head
For as soon as you do then you are
gone The history of the ring will
prove this
Now. that have told all that I
think is interesting from a personal
standpoint. l will touch on the profess
sion of boxing. | use the word profess
sion In its fullest sense Boxing is so
different from fighting that there is no
possible comparison. Boxing is the
science of attack and defense 1t does
not mean rushing in with head lowered,
striking away in a wild fashion and
doing your best to render your rival
helpless
Boxing Exhibition of Skill.
On the contrary, it is an exhibition
Of skill You can not pick up boxing.
Without the aid of competent in
structor nobody can become a real
finished boxer. That boxing is con-

SOUTH ATLANTIC FIRST
SEASON CLOSES TODAY

The first half of the South Atlantic
baseball season will come to a close
with the games played this afternoon.
The Jacksonville Scouts are the win
ners of the first season grabbing the
lead about three weeks ago. and by
consistent winning hanging on to the
top and during the past week cinching
the first half with a margin to spare.
The second half of the season will
begin tomorrow. The winner of the
second season if it is any other club
but Jacksonville viii play off the tie
for the pennant with the Scouts in
post season series after the second half
of the season ends.

sidered a decent following is my frmest
belief In the present era it is taught
in nearly all colleges, academies and
schools.
Boxing to me should be taught to
every youngster. In the first place it
teaches them self reliance and again
makes them apt in the art of self de-
tense. Take any big man in life, he is
always boxing. as you may say. and
though he may get the worst of it now
and then. he always comes back That
is drilled into you through boxing.
AS an instance, I was going into the
Fairmount \. c. in New York one aft
ernQpn There were a few youngsters
playing around the door. l invited
them in to spar. One little fellow re-
fused TO put on the gloves. and was
almost ready to cry at the suggestion.
That convinced me that the little fell
low lacked spirit. without that nee
essary requirement what chance will
he have when he is thrown on his own
resources? If he had boxed a little and
received a few singing wallops it would
make him brace up and also teach the
lesson that as we travel through life
everything is not a sweet song.
First Lessons important.
In many cases a good boxer is ruined
in his first lesson. He puts on the
gloves with a finished teacher. and
naturally, has no chance Time and
again the pupil is discouraged. He
quits or enters the ranks Of the slug
gers and goes just so far For any
strong man can slug, but only a few
can box
For a youth who studies boxing. his
first thought must to be to act nat
urally. This artificial posing or cruch-
ing is a big handicap, especially if he
meets a dangerous rival Common
sense will show you that when moving
about one must be natural 10 retain
a firm balance.
