for me to believe when awoke this
morning that had put back of me
fourteen days Of hard training and
was starting on the fifteenth. was
glad there are only few days more
Of work ahead of me. Training, like
everything else. becomes rather mo-
notonous. and the close approach of
the battle pisases me.
Following out the program my train

around the reservoir on alternate

The main reason for cutting out the
road work 10 that my wind Is in great
shape. While II IL absolutely neces-
sary to tunc up the bellows to per-
feet condition. there Is no occasion to
do arduous running. when perfection
IL reached. And when you train for
a boxing match, you must be well
trained in the real boxing end Of the
game, otherwise all the superhuman
wind-powers In the world won't count
for anything. This system follows out
the real rule Of life. II you devote
all your energies to one particular
undertaking. you are bound to make q
success OF u. At the same time you
can keep In touch with other matters.
but . persistent drive at the one par
ticular goal will force you to succeed.
