an alt your chosen heid' master the hypnotic
Ed Eritz, Of New Castle. Pa. who man
ages the scrapper with the baleful glare
assures Us again that since he taught Terry
the hypnotic trick, Terry has been IN
beaten, although he has mingled in more
than 30 ring battles since then
Here is part OF Terry's record since he
became a "hyp'-a record that shows IS
knockouts. most OF them in Jig time, and II
popular decisions. The record was supplied
by Fritz, who defies any one TO dispute it,
knoekouts-'Red'' Robinson. one round;
rom Frederick, two: sammy Profit, ten;
Teddy O'Hara. two. Frankie O'Brien. three:
Tommy kilhane. ten; Lee Donaldson. two;
Kid Seese, three. Young Jack johnson. four.

Young Britt. six Otto koehler. six. Jack
McHeury ten; Red" Robinson, six: Tommy
Lowe, six; Battling Gates. six; Al Grad
vel. ten -swatts' Adsmson, six; and Ned
Shernoff six.
Immediately after he learned the hypno-
he got busy and knocked out about every
body he met. He'd get a good look into the
eyes Of his opponent-and then II was all
over but the referees job Of counting out the
other fellow.
'But I made Terry stop that The fans
want TO see a fight 90 half dozen rounds
any way and have forbidden Terry TO
knock out any one now until the fight has
gone Tar enough to satisfy the desires Of
the fans II Il is a short bout I make him
let his opponent stay the limit That's why
Terry. In his most recent fights, hasn't gone
in for knockouts-he's just there TO roll up
points
The moment Terry gets one look into
the other fellows eyes the fight Is over as
far as the other fellows chances are con-
eerned But Terry lets them stick around
ana, while he has the spell on them. even !
forces them to Highland fight at a ter
rifle clip too. But Terry is the master at ,
all stages
TERRY today. with his wonderful endur-
ance powers his terrible punch. and with /
hypnotlsm as an added asset is the great 1
est lightweight fighter in the world He
can whip them all-and in any round thar {
he chooses. II any one doubts this asser-
ton I'll back It up TO the limit Of Terry's 1
oankrou and mine"
It may be added. for the benefit OF those
who haven't heard about Terry heretofore
that he never keeps the spell on the other
fellow after the right is over. II he knocks
put an opponent. according to Fritz he
comes back 70 consciousness. vhereupon I
l l'i5Iy nanages to get peep into the other
fellows glimmers- Then he mumbles the 4
magic word and-presto change, the spell
las fitted.
In the case OF fellows whom he permits
o tnger 10 the finish. according to Fritz
Terry released the scrapper from his power /
Is soon as the final bell sounds.
