Lightweight Exercises On Inclin-
ed Board to Harden Stomach
and Leg Muscles
SECURED THE DEVICE
FROM FREDDIE WELSH
Is Taking No Chances on Re-
ports That Tommy kilbane
Is Going Back
BY RALPH l.. YONKER.

Paul Sikora, Detroit lightweight,
who takes on Tommy Kilbane, Cleve-
land fighter, at the Windsor Athletic
club week from this evening. is US
lug a training stunt which he claims
only he and Freddie Welsh, British
champion, have ever employed.
Sikora has as a part OF his gym
nastic apparatus a table of which two
Of the legs are several inches higher
than those at the other end. In the
middle OF the table Sikora has straps
attached.
Sikcra sits on the upper edge OF the
table with his feet in the straps and
then lowers and raises the trunk OF
his body. swinging up and down from
his hips. After some exercise on the
upper end, he reverses the hobs up
and down at the lower end.
The purpose OF the stunt is to re-
duce his waistline and make his stom-
ach and legs hard and solid. He finds
that II Is the best exercise he knows
OF for it's purpose. 1t Is very hard at
first and must be INDUCED In for only
a short time Until the muscles become
Used to the strain.
Paul learned the system from Welsh
when he was helping the Britisher
train for his bout with Abe Attell
and George Memsic out on the Pacific
coast the latter part of los and the
early part OF 1909. Welsh used the
method then and Slkora copied 1t
from him.
Sikora began active training for his
battle with Kilbane yesterday. His
daily routine from now until the day
before the fight will consist Of three
or four miles OF running each day and
the usual work III the gymnasium, such
as sparring shadow boxing and skip
ping the rope.
Paul Is taking on heavier men than
he In his short bouts preparing for
Kilbane. He is boxing daily with
welterweights and middleweights.
Slkora's friends believe that he will
be able to take care OF Kilbane hand
ily They recall the last battle be-
tween che two men at Cleveland In
April. 1911. and believe that Paul will
show enough more improvement over
Tommy to gain him a decision.
The two men have met twice before.
once in Cleveland as mentioned. and
once in Windsor. Both bouts we're no
decision contests.
Stories have reached Sikoras ears
that kilbane isn't the fighter than he
used to be. Paul says he'll pay no
attention 10 those tales. however, but
will train just as hard and consistent
ly as he can. He doesn't propose to
have anything put over him In this
important bout.
He figures. too, that Kilbane ought
to be better than when they last met,
for he has met some Of the best boys
in the game since then. Kilbane Is not
an old fellow and there should be
no reason that Paul can see why he
shouldn't prepare faithfully for him
A bout with Knockout Brown hangs
on the Sikora-Kilbane bout. Sikora
must whip Kilbane decisively to earn
a battle with the blond boy. Ed Glass
co. Windsor boxing promoter. says
that the 60 with Brown lies between
SIkora and his own pet. Drouillard. II
Sikora beats Kilbane, then the bout
is his. IF he fails to do so then the
bout goes TO Drouillard.

to play halfback for his brother,

At Michigan, Blake was delirious

Imagine the feelings of Hewitt

for his brother, who must be in
