EDDIE HANLO ON RUINED
BY TOO RAPID FORCING

Many young boxers of Champion
ship calibre have been ruind by be-
ing forced at too rapid gait. and
Eddie Hanlon was a notable example
of this sort of bad management. 1t
was ten years ago to-day that Han1on
fought twenty rounds to a. draw with
Young Corbett, then the feather
weight champion of the world, in
San Francisco. The Californian was
a mere schoolboy, sixteen years of
age, when he met the leader of the
featherweight division. q fighter of
long experience who had won pre-
mfer honors by whipping Terrible
Terry McGPovern. That mere lad,
a novice at the game, could hold his
own in a grilling twenty-round bat
tie with such a fighter as Young Cor
bett was considered, and rightly, re-
markable showing. Had some good
man taken hold of Honlon at that
time he would almost certainly have
become the worlds lightweight cham
pion. He was regarded as a wonder,
and the man to beat Joe Cans, who
then wore the lightweight crown up
on his kinky bean. HanIon was dur
able as the Dane, clever Cans
game, and the possessor of a power
full punch. He had a defense that
was all but impregnab1e. In the ring
he assumed a crouching position, and
the best of boxers could hardly get
in a lick without exposing his own
body to Hanlon's terrific punches. All
that was needed was little patience,
slow and gradual development of
the powers and stamina of the six
teen-year-old phenom. But those in
charge of Hanlon lacked foresight,
and proceeded to kill the goose that
might have laid a whole nestful of
Golden eggs. Eddie was sent against
Young Corbett a second time;f they
put him in the ring with Battling
Nelson, who defeated him in nine
teen hard rounds; he was matched
with Aurelia Herrera, the Mexican,
and the famous Kid Herman. There
could be only one result of such mis-
management in pitting sixteen-year-
old lad against such veterans. The
terrific strain of long, slashing bat
ties weakened Han1on and left him g
wreck, pugilistically speaking, before
the age when he should have JUST
been beginning taking on the good
ones.
