BOXING JUST AS MUCH AN
ART AS MUSIC, SAYS BERGER

Boxing" remarks Sam Berger, in
an interview printed recently in the
San Francisco Bulletin, lis an art--
Just as much so as music To excel at
II YOU must have conception of time,
of balance, d distance. The man who
attempts to box without possessing
such conception is like a person who
tries to be musician without having
an ear for music.
Berger, as we all remember, was a
pal of Jimmy Britt. sparring mate of
Bob Fitzsimmons, and then came into
greater prominence as the manager of
James j. Jeffries
Boxing he continued, real box
ing, requires as much study as any of
the higher arts.
We have mad, of course, men who
were natural boxers fellows like
Young Griffo-who never took a box
ing lesson in their lives and yet knew
all there was to know of the game.
But such men were geniuses. We
harethem in boxing, just as they have
them in the music world.
The average man. however, re.
quires schooling, and plenty of it, be-
fore he is qualified to put up his hands
and hold his own with even a fairly
good amateur who has the advantage
OF, proper teaching.
Wen take the case of Jimmy Britt
as that Of fellow who might have
done wonders in the ring had he made
more of a study of his boxing.
Jimmy was remarkably fast
thinker and rapid workman He de.
pended on mis- speed to carry him
through.
But had Britt, with his speed.
studied as he should, he might never
have been whipped by Battling Mel.
son.
Britt and / had many converse
ton on the subject. Frequently asked
him why he didn't make an effort to
develop his boxing to a still greater
degree by studying and ascertaining
Just how he s.-ould use his speed to
whip the men he would eventually be
called upon to meet.
But Jimmy was so well satisfied
with himself. so absolutely certain he
could whip any man OF his weight in
the world. that he wouldn't listen.
What's the use of studying? he
asked. 1T isn't the clever fellows who
bother me. Don't whip them all?'
Try IS hard as / might, | never
could convince Britt that he should
study. told him that it wasn't the
clever fellows he should study for
that with them his speed was quite
sufficient to give him IN even break.
II argued that the men Britt had to
fear were the tough. tearing-in sort
of fellows, the ones who shed blows in
order to get in close and land their
own. !,
Such are the kind of fighters that a.
clever man ought to know how to,
handle.
Speed will oftentimes offset clever
ness. But when an opponent comes
ripping in. with arms flying and head
bobbing, man should know now to-
time him, to measure his punches, and

ing and planting his own blows.
Britt was told about that. went
so far as to predict that when Jimmy
was whipped it would be one of the
rough fellows who turned the trick.
But Britt only laughed.
If I'm fast enough to outspeed the
clever ones. he said, the plodders
will never get within calling distance
of me.
Later had the opportunity, but
not the heart, to recall 20 BIRTHS mind
what | had told him. We all remember
how he was knocked ONT by Battling
Nelson-a plodder pure and simple.
What call cleyerness is that which
enables weaker man to step into the
ring and whip a stronger one.
And In order to do that the first
thing a person should learn is not only
Ihow to measure the punch Of an oppo-
nent and be able to step inside or
away from 1t, but at the same. time
maintain balance, and, while so. doing,
gauge the ether fellows boxing time
sufficiently well to enable you TO step
in with your own punches at precisely
the right moments
The boxer who can do all this and
keep his head is the one who will sue.
coed The one who cannot is of the
sort who will be a SECOND or third
rater as long as he remains in the
game. .-...s,l. Ii.
Boxing, 1 repeat, is an art. Any.
man in the world can don a pair of
gloves and trade punches with another.
But that isn't boxing. The real boxer
is he who knows how and where to
place punch, who can step too far
in or, too far out for an opponent to
hit him, who can duck or catch a blow
with his glove. arm or shoulder and
turn it aside, al s,
The fellow who cannot do all that
is nothing more than a tyro. He is
like fellow trying to play the piano
or violin who has never taken music

Here's new angle to the recent

lieved that the loss of the doubles by

match indicate that Bundy was the

the air ..
The following is from the Chicago
Daily News:
In the doubles alone was supposed
&c lie Americas chance for victory. A
victory in this event would have meant
good chance for the United States:
it's less almost spelt disaster.
In the doubles the Australasian

METHODS FOR RESUMPTION
 OF FOREIGN BUSINESS
Further. Division, Among Prominent Banking Interests as to Best Course


 New York, Aug 13-The outstand- ing feature of the day in financial cir cles was a further division in the ranks of the prominent banking in terests respecting the methods to be employed to bring about at least a partial resumption of foreign business. Advocates of an amendment to the national bank act, permitting the use of bank notes as reserves, are out numberede by those who regard such an act as detrimental to the country's s best interests. The fact that the clearing house committee has de- clined thus far to consider such an expedient seems to have given the proposition it's quietus.
 On the other hand, opponents of the proposition offer no solution looking to a removal of the many obstacles now assuming greater proportions in connection with our foreign obliga- tions. A definite stand on this mo- -mentous question must soon be taken, inaSmuch as warrants or notes of the city of New York, payable in gold and largely held abroad, mature on September 1.
 which may go far towards solving this and other problems was the an nouncement J. F. Morgan and Com pany had sounded the federal govern ment regarding the adyisability. of a large loan to France.
 It could not be ascertained how far these negotiations had been carried or what prospects there were that the loan would be placed. No informa . ton could be obtained from the prin- cipal international banking houses re- garding a loan to Austria, negotia tions for which, it was announced at Washington, were under way.

1a PEACE TREATIES
 RATIFIED BY SENATE.
Those With Dominion Republic and
 Panama Postponed.

z Washington, Aug. 13-Eighteen of the twenty peace treaties with foreign nations providing for commissions of Inquiry before resort to arms on the international disputes, which ordinary resources of diplomacy fail to settle, were ratified by the senate today The treaties with the Dominican Re public and Panama were held up tor further consideration
 Treaties ratified are with Norwiy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzer- emala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Persia, Costa Rica, Venzuela, Uruguay Argentina, Brazil and Chile.
 Postponement of action on the pacts with the Dominican Republic sand Panama was determined upon after spirited debate over present re- lations between the United States and is now engaged in attempting to set tie a revolution in San Domingo and it was suggested that the pending agreement might conflict with existing treaties.
 Senator Fall led opposition to rati- present form. Under the Panama Ca nal act ships of that republic may pass through the canal free of tolls Senator Fall urged that any new con- vention should prevent the possibil- ity of complications arising through an alliance with foreign interests by citizens of Panama to purchase ships
 The treaties ratified are generally of the same character and scope They provide for the creation of ar interna tional commission with each country, to which disputes which dip lomatic methods fail to adjust, shall be referred for investigation and re- n1-f agree not to declare war or. begin hostilities during such investigation and before. the report is submitted The life of the treaties is limited tc five years. The contracting parties are not bound by the finding of facts as made by the international commis- sion, but each reserves the right tC act independently upon the dispute after the report of the commission shall be submitted.

PLANNING ACTION TO
 INCREASE INTERSTATE REVENUE
To Offset CurtaiIment of $1,ooo, 900 Ex- s Pected During European War.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Congressional leaders today planned quick action to increase the internal revenue by s1oO,- 100000 to offset curtailnen of customs revenue expected during the European war senator Simmons, chairman of the senate finance committee, and Rep resentative Underwood, chairman of the house ways and means committee, began a conference with Secretary McAdoo which will continue tomorrow.
 Later the situation will be laid be- fore President Wilson.
 1t was definitely agreed to confine the increases to the internal revenue taxes. instead of attempting to change in any way the customs duties. An extra tax on liquors, possibly including doubling the one dollar a barrel now assessed upon beer. is the first plan to be discussed. There is talk today not only of increased tax on liquors. but on tobacco: proprietary medicines and other articles.
 Both Senator Simmons and Repre- sentative Underwood expressed grat- if1catien over the present sound condi- ton of the treasury. There is no treasury deficit" said Senator Sim mons later. But we do not want to wait until there is deficit before act ing. It, is absolutely necessary that the confidence of the people in the financial soundness of the government shall be maintained at a time like this.''
 MT. Underwood said that while the treasury surplus might be sufficient to cover the falling off in customs It would take Europe a long time to recover normal business relations.
