The CaulihOwer Ear.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY Frank Crane)

The cauliflower ear is sporting term
and signifies prizefghters ear that has
been so battered by five-ounce gloves. con-
tanning projectile fists, that it has lost
the semblance of an ordinary hearing or
gan and looks like misshapen piece of
chewing gum, such as Edith sticks under
the piano when she prepares to sing.
1t is caused by certain style of fight
ing wherein one ducks his head, "bores
in" as the professionals say, and receives
the brunt OF his opponents attack upon
his head. The head may be bullet hard.
but the ear, being attached to the head,
and coming necessarily between blow and
bone. and being of soft consistency. is
liable to be disfgured. BY and by it
ceases to lose its sea-shel grace and
seems more like a piece of cauliflower.
Hence the name.
1t is also called tin ear, one Of the
subtleties of slang.
Abe Attell, former featherweight
champion. is thus reported to have ex-
pressed himself
THE bunged-up hearers are due to the
change in the style of fighting, or, rather,
to the change in the style of not fighting.
In the old days the men stood more erect
and picked off punches with their hands,
or jumped away from them, or stepped
inside of them. Now they bore in. the
head down and carried sideways, and
block punches with their beans.
When was fighting never took any
punches / could possibly avoid If man
swung at me, would hop away from the
swing If he set to drive me, would try
to slip inside of it. Sometimes when
would appear to be getting a terrible
pasting around the face and head and my
nut would be bobbing this way and that
apparently from the force of the blows, |
would in reality be escaping injury en-
tirely, because | would be letting my
head drift with the punch so that no lick
could land solid"
We are all of us fighters, in a way. We
have to take the blows of an outrageous
fortune. Men and the fates, also women,
give US many hard knock. Ii might be
we'll if we would improve our style Of
fighting and save our ears.
You, my friend. bore in too much. You
stop many thwack with your head that
you might have side-stepped.
You will come out Of your encounters
looking much more respectable II you
vii learn to ''let your head drift with the
punch" as our pugilistic authority says.
1t is we'll to be fearless and to stand
punishment, but fights spiritual as well
as fights in the roped arena are won with
brains.
Nine-tenths of the blows made at you
have hurt you just because OF your stiff
necked obstinacy or your stolid egotisnL
Learn to side-step. Give little. Don't
take offense where it is not meant and
often where it is meant.

yourself and wait and not flare up in silly
constituencies. doubtless tomorrow your

make amends.

At the age OF fifty-two. Roger Con.

OF the New York Giants. made three
base hits in four times at bat in a
game between Springfield and Meri-
den OF the Connecticut Valley league
and one of them was a three-bagger.
The famous swatsman OF National
league fame was one OF the greatest
batsmen in his day and generation.
For IL seasons he batted well over

James (Orator) O'Rourke was the

professional ball player when Roger
Connor was raw, raw recruit. These
two grand players were on the New
York Giants for many years and twas
through men of their ilk that the name
Giants was affixed to the Gotham or

more ways than one.
After many years these vets met
again on the diamond green and both
well over the half century mark. In
the season Of 1903 each managed a
team in the little league known as the
Connecticut Valley circuit Roger was
