TAKE 1T FROM PACKEY

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 box ing.
 As an instance, l was going into the FairmOunt A C. one afternoon. There were a few youngsters playing around the door. l invited them in to spar One little fellow refused to put on the gloves, and was ready to cry at the suggestion. That convinced me that the little fellow lacked spirit. Without the necessary requirement what chance will he have when he is thrown on his own resources. If he had boxed a little and received a few stinging wallops it would make him
 brace up and also teach the lesson
 that as we travel through life every thing 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
 
 any strong man can slug, but only a
 few can box.
 For a youth who studies boxing his
 first thought must be to act naturally.
 This artificial posing or crouching is
 a big handicap. especially if he meets
 a dangerous rival. Common sense will show you that when moving about one must be natural to retain a firm balance.
 Another important point is to un- 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 cannot knock out his men"
 Before I go any further 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 prac- tically at your mercy, I would like t. know it
 BOXING BETTER THAN FIGHTING firmly believe that the public ap- Dreciates a boxing exhibition more than it does a fight. This is not the day of London prize ring rules It 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 I believe strictly in elevating the sport When two men enter the ring it is not to slaughter each other, but to box.
 Take the life of a prize fighter and that of a boxer. The latter performs for years, while the former disappears from the scene very quickly Again, carrying around a broken nose or cauIiflOwer ears is not the
 incest thing when you quit the ring

Fastening away at adjournment TO
render TO Col. Roosevelt the nomina-
ton Of new party, the 18th Repub-
lcan national convention, at the end
of long and tumultuous session, to-
night renominated William II. Taft
of Ohio for president and James
fpr vice president.
President Taft received SCI of the
1.07S votes in the convention, or 21
more than majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo-
lle, under direction of their leader,
tc refrain from voting, left no other
candidate near the president The
announcement of the Taft victory was
greeted with cheering from his ad-
herents and groans and Kisses from
the opposition.
When 1t became absolutely certain
early today that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty
the leaders in control Of the conven-
ton decided to give him as a running
mate his companion on the ticket in
1908.
All others dropped from the race,
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate placed before the convention
A motion from New Hampshire to
make the nomination by acclamation
was declared out of order. There
were many scattering votes on the
roll call that ensued.
The convention amid much con-
fusion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indication
of a walkout Of the Roosevelt dele
gates. They expressed their revolt by
silence. IN confusion just before ad-
jOurnment a resolution was adopted

Chicago. 10 A. NJ, June 22.-Ef-
forts will be made to conclude the
business of the convention before
midnight. The Taft leaders claim
that Taft's nomination on the first
ballot Is certainty. Hadley. Sher-
man and John Wanamaker, the
Philadelphia merchant, are being
doomed as the running mates Had
ley seems to be choice of the largest
number, but the Wanamaker boom
is growing rapidly.
RoOsevelt's name most likely will
not go before the convention, his
leaders claiming he won't submit to
being voted for or nominated by
fraud" delegates. Roosevelt ad-
dressing a crowd in front of his hotel
said: MY hat is still in the ring. but
bigger ring" A big sign is today
hanging outside the Roosevelt head
quarters reading: National Progress
sive Party"
The Roosevelters will probably hold
a convention in July or August and
name a ticket.
The Taft crowd say they are not at
all worried over the new party, say
the Roosevelters will draw equal
numbers from the Democratic ranks
and so equalize things. They feel
sure Of T9ft's election. claiming that
that sentiment has turned greatly
during the past few days toward
Taft.
Last night at a secret meeting with
his delegates Roosevelt said: where
YOU go. i go, IL you go out l go with
you. / am always willing to take the
part of my friends. BE ready to act
on orders and act together"
Evidence Of the breaking up of
the regular party organization is seen
in the resignation Of Senator Borah
and Frank b. Kellog of Minnesota.
, from the National Committee. Fol-
lowing the resignation Of Boss Finn
of Pennsylvania. other Roosevelters
are expected to follow his example.
The temporary chairman and COM
