BY ABE ATTEI,L,
Featberweight Champion.

There are but four real punches
in boxing-the straight left to the
face. the straight left to the body.
the straight right to the face and
the straight right to the body. All
oilers are the outgrowth of these.
To deliver the straight left,
straigbten the arm to it's full
length, step in and put your
weight behind your fist. In de-
livering the straight right to the
face and the straight left and
right to the body, the same prin-
ciple is used-always stiffen your
arm, hit hard. true and fast.
The straight punches are the
ones used when fighters attempt
to score knockout. They are the
real blows of the prize fighters.
Jabs are the blows ring gen.
erals use, not to put a man to
sleep, but to wear him down. A
jab ie quick, snappy blow with
the elbow partly crooked. Jab
your man from time to time until
by his lodging, or by your
punches, you have placed him
just where he is in a position for
you TO land a straight punch:
The one-two punch is one of
the best used. 1t is merely the
delivery of a double blow-of get
ting your man around to point
where you can shoot hard with
your left and almost simultane-
ously smash him with your right.
To do this you must be fast, else
your opponent will take advant-
age of the opening.
There are hundreds of different
punches in use, but as l have said,
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-01-03

all are variations Of the four fun
damentals. When you have mas
tered the art of delivering the
four straight punches, The other
will follow as a matter of course.
1t may happen that your reach
is short. This is disadvantage
that can be somewhat overcome by
throwing your shoulders forward,
thus adding to the length of your
reach.
Clinching Is something specta-
tors don't care much about seeing,
but it is helpful to boxer when
he's tired or backed into bad
position. In breaking from a
clinch / have always found the
best plan Is to slide out gradually.

If you break away suddenly your
opponent, If quick, can deliver a
breakaway punch. Therefore, let
your hands slide down from the
other fellows shoulder, slipping
gradually off his hands.
In these articles l have tried to
cover the rudimentary points Of
boxing. The finer points-the in
side game-would take volumes
to explain and long time for one
to understand. But with the
points | have brought out l think
that an inexperienced boxer can
don the gloves and by following
the rules, using his head and keep
ing his temper at all times, can
learn the essential points of the
boxing game.

Grand Forks Stores Are
Filled With Good Things
That You Need and Want

Say, folks, Grand Forks is a mighty good place
to do your fall and winter trading. The stores of this
city are among the best in this part OF the country
and just now they are filling rapidly with the things
that you will need and want for the cold days. Every
store in town has had a buyer or two in the big marts
of trade in the east within the past few weeks and
they have been buying-and buying that North Dako-
tans might this fall have the best the market offers at
reasonable prices. The stores are now prepared to
handle the seasons business, although many of them
have not had their regular fall openings as yet.
As a retail market Grand Forks has for wears
been the mecca for shoppers throughout northern
North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. The
size, variety and number of retail stores here goes far
toward drawing the wives and daughters of the small
er cities of this district, to say nothing of dear old dad,
who comes several times a year to make important
purchases for the farm. There is scarcely a family
among the hundreds in this district that does not,
from once to a dozen times a year, journey to Grand
Forks for several days shopping.
The department stores in Grand Forks are many
and among the best in the country. In these mod
ern Establishments every possible want of every pos
sible sort of person is supplied. Every effort is made
to keep the stores not only abreast of the times, but a
little ahead.
Grand Forks merchants predicted a splendid bus
mess this fall. That their forecast is coming true to
the letter is shown in the excellent patronage that the
various stores are already enjoying as a result of the
great harvest.

INDICATE
POOR POTATO
CROP
Yield Not Only Low, But
Quality Said to be
Bad.

Reports received at the office OF
Secretary Thomas Cooper Of the North
Dakota Better Farming association in
dictate that North Dakota's potato
crop will fall far below the average
expected. While the reports do not
cover every portion Of the state and
are based upon the yields from the
believe that they are indicative and
express disappointment at the crop.
The potato yield is not only low
but the quality is said to be poor. The
tubers come from the ground rough
and spotted. The quality is very much
below the quality of the potatoes gen.
orally grown in North Dakota.
Reports received from central,
northeast and southern counties all
agree that the crop is far below
very much lighter than in former
years. The potato yield was expect
ed to prove extra good this season and
the reports come as a surprise to the
farming experts as we'll as to dealers
and others who have followed condi-
tons. The excessive am and wet
weather r assigned as the reason for
the poor quality Of tubers.
1t is probable that seed potatoes
will have to be imported into the state
AOl 4CAl SCdSOi NAOP. HA
Minnesota returned splendid yields
and of excellent quality so that the
failure of the North Dakota crop is
not likely to affect the market price.
Secretary Cooper has returned to
Fargo from a trip through the south
ern portion Of the state. making a de-
tailed inspection Of conditions in Ran
som and adjoining counties. He re-
ports that %threshing is about one-third
completed throughout that section of
the state. Yields have so far been
larger than in many years and the
grain crops are all turning out to be
high quality.
Flowing has started in the southern
counties. according to Mr.. Cooper and
will be rapidly carried on now. The
farmers throughout that section are
planning to put in extra large crops
for next season and there is every sign
Of prosperity.

that the loss on buildings will be heavy
