Wonderful Machine Coulon,
Bantamweight Champion

Working like a piece of fine

made the fans marvel, Johnny
Coulon, bantam champion, stopped

rounds, proving he is again

1t was the boxer of tomorrow,
fast as chain lightning and with
a knowledge of the game that
surprised old timers, against a
seasoned performer. one of the
craftiest of ring generals.
Forbes was a toy in Coulon's
hands. Making weight ruined any
chance he ever had. And that
chance at best was mighty small
Critics were satisfied with three
rounds, for they saw a wonderful
fighting machine in action. Coulon
is vest pocket edition of Jim
Corbett when Corbett was best.
He has the feinting that made
Corbett famous and his footwork
is perfection.
Coulon fought Forbes as a try
out, before taking on serious
championship contenders. He
wanted to know whether he was
the same boy who had climbed to
the top, and he proved he was.
The bantam champion need
have no fear. He has all his old
dash, vim and hitting power. He
is faster than ever and his
: strength is wonderful. Forbes
had one chance to win and that
was to land haymaker in the
first round. The blow was high,
Coulon ducking just enough to
make 1t miss his jaw.
That blow hurried defeat, for
Coulon tore loose and let up only
when he had won. In the first he

In the second he was In and

until Forbes was tied in a knot
Forbes slipped and remained
down for nine, showing he was
tired. Toward the end OF the
round Coulon sent crashing rights
to the body which weakened
Forbes.
Forbes tried to do or die in
the third and he went down.
Ooulon shot his right to the body
and Forbes again took nine. Twice
he sought the canvas, his judg-
ment gone. AS he arose Coulon

Probably no other player occupies so

of his fellow masters as Carl Schechter
OF Vienna. Modest and courteous in the
extreme, he is Yet one of the few chess
masters who have managed to make a
decent living out of the game. and he
has never been known to refuse aid to
comrade in financial distress.
He is justly styled the draw master
or the world. not so much for the un-
usual number of draws which he scores
in Journeys and matches as from the un-
usual character of his drawn games Mr..
Fox gives the following plausible expla-
nation of this popularity of Schlechter's s
play: Schlechter, better than any other
master. understands the exact prepon-
derance of material and position neces-
sary for an actual win. and Is at all
times ready to sacrifice within this
limit. in the hope that his adversary will
blunder. He does not play for draw.
but his attacks are made with a draw
in reserve. Janowski. for instance. will
attack with perhaps more brilliancy than
Schlechter. but he goes forward with no
thought of what will happen IL his adj
vance is checked. Schlechter always has
plan of retreat, often more brilliant
than the attack itself. The eight drawn
games of his match with Lasker are
striking examples of how Schlechter can
play TO win and yet hold the draw In
hand"

ter draw" will illustrate the point Mr..

FITNESS FOR BUSINESS MEN
ABOUT WALKING.
By Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion.

Most business men might resent the
iHsinuation that they don't know how
to walk-but that is fact. To Illus
trate the point l wish to make ! shall
ask you to revert for al moment to the
difference between strong men and atl-
letes.
The athlete is supple. His dong muscles
are developed. He is able to travel a
considerable route in intense exertion.
The ordinary strong man Is good for a
short spurt-but his muscles "bind'' up
on him quickly, meaning that he. has not
brought those long muscles into play
Few people get the value out of walk
ing. and therefore insist that walking
is not particularly beneficial as an exer-
else. That is where they are wrong
and it is why they tacitly admit that
they have not walked properlU-or
enough.
Fast, jerky. tense walking may tire
one out In few blocks-and it does
little good. But long, loose swing,
bringing the muscles into play. helps
more than little. To average only three
miles an hour--and walk two hours-With
the muscles free and pure air being
drawn down deep into the chests to
benefit. But this calls for qualificatio
The walk must be regular-daily. To get
out and walk ten miles today-and not
average more than a couple of miles a
day for the next week. would produce
no results.
Another point Is to regard the walk
