them kneading and twisting their
mans head and arms as If they were
trying to soften hard putty, and
worse still, pouring ice water on them
at the wrong time, making them
shake with cold and tremble with
aguelike shiverings.
Rake your mind and try to recall
how long ago it is since you saw a
second in the corner talented enough
to offer advice to his man, forewarn
him of his dangers and the intentions
of his antagonist. Then again, how
often have you witnessed seconds
shrieking and performing all sorts of
clownish actions in attempting to ad
wise their charge, when really their
actions were detra citing his attention
from the main issue, and sometimes
has led to an opening that has been
taken advantage of by a clever OPP
ponent
When Terry McGovern and Young
Corbett fought for the second time in
the Mechanics Pavilion in San Fran
cisco Joe HUMPHREYS and Sam Harris
in particular would shout to Terry,
Come away-don't mix with him
wallop him down below" and other
such advice. Corbett only smiled, and
tainted Terry by saying, why don't
you do as your seconds tell you? You
are a heluva champion: won't follow
instructions" Terry's mind was i'm
mediately directed on the men in his
corner instead of the man he was
fighting, and Corbett slapped over the
wallop that ended the battle.
THE late Jack Dempsey was a won
i derful second-in fact, one of the
best that ever accompanied a man In
the ring. There is no doubt that
Dempsey had as much to do with
preventing defeat to Jack McAuliffe
the time that Jack fought Jem Car
ney at Revere Beach as he (McAu
liffe) had himself The manner in
which Dempsey tainted Carney and
the way in which he forced the Eng
fish champion to come over and do
all his fighting in McAulfffe's cor

CPIDER KELLY, out in San Fran
- cisco, is a wonderful second, and
has helped many a man to win. KEEL
ly had a great habit of instructing
his men to Immediately push their
hands into that of the referee when
the final gong sounded, and in this
way he at times ratified that official

"A SHORT time back L had the
~ pleasure of sitting at the ring
side watching quite an inter-
esting scrap between evenly matched
men. Neither of them by any clever
ness or exceptional fighting ability
caused us to become excited. In fact,
it was one of those contests in which
every succeeding round is a repeti-
ton. or nearly so, of the preceding
one. For that reason the best amuse-
ment was afforded me in watching the
antics of the valet de. chambre," or,
in other words, the seconds in the
corners. l am not stretching the
point single iota when 1 say that
not one man in a hundred who gets
In the angled corner of the ring to
help. assist, advise and succor prin-
cipal knows the first rudiments of the
position he is attempting to fill. Time
was when a second was as essential
to the success of a champion as he
0he champion) was himself.
To my mind the most solemn part
of a fistic encounter is the duty en-
trusted to seconds. and especially
was this true in the London prize
ring We find that poor seconding is
now more common than severe fight
ing. and | have often seen men get
more punishment from their seconds
than from the men they have been
battling against.
MY experiences and observations, as
INl well as what information / have
gathered from those who know, Is
that in sumner or warm weather. Ice
should be applied to the temples, the
pulses of the wrists and back OF the
neck. In cold weather 1t should be
avoided altogether and its place taken
by clean, damp sponge. Sluiclng IS
not necessary at all, unless at time
when he has received what appears
knockout wallop, in which case the
water should be poured on the head
suddenly; all else that's done for him
is labor thrown away
When AT Greenfield was in Amer
lea some years back, we often spoke
of these things. and have yet to find
a fighter more conversant on mat
ters of this sort than the "Brumma-
gin" fighter was. He told me lot or
tricks-unfair methods, of course
that we're practiced in the early days
Of the ring. He also told me of a
time. when he was young man and
FIRST started out, how Tom Sayers adj
yised him to keep his eyes closed dur
ing the rest in the corner, and in
that way let his mind be quiet Say
ers always did this in his later nights.
But imagine our fighters of now
keeping their eyes closed during the
minutes rest. They wish to look
about them and TO see what's going
ON. But on the whole it's all pride
and lashiness, as they seem to labor
under the dehsion that their friends
at the ringside will think they are
getting beaten If they fail to wink
or office" them ~ every opportunity.
Let some Of our fighters try this
scheme Of closed eyes and see what
the effect will be.

and carriages conveying the members
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
and veterans, who were too aged and
infirm to march.
Although their ranks have been
sadly depleted by the hand Of time,
and many of them are old and feeble,
needing the assistance of canes to
walk, still they made a brave sight
as with heads held high they covered
the line of march.
In view of the thousands Of specta-
tors, who had assembled all along the
route, with the bands playing Dixie

Kentucky Home and other old-time
melodies, they seemed fnstinCtively to
straigl1ten their shoulders, as though
memory had taken them back to the
memorable occasion nifty years ago
when they had marched away wear
ing the same uniform, and under the
same flag which fiuttered SO bravely
in the air.
On that occasion as on this the
windows were full of women and chill
dren, and the sidewalks were packed
with people The same flags were
hung from the houses along the route
and the same colored people stuck as
near to the bands Is possible, only

drew abreast of the Lee Monument
and they remained uncovered as they
marched around the statue, and stood
/ facing the likeness of General Lee.
The veterans of the Soldiers home
were awaiting them. and stood at the
railing facing outward. The other
military marched around until a
square was formed In the street
around the statue, where they al
stood at salute.
At this juncture 1t commenced tt
