GOOD LEFT HAND
Fighting ASSET
Johnny Kilbane Says Boxer
Who Uses Both Fists CIev-
erly Is Dangerous.
ABE ATTELL AN EXAMPLE

Philadelphia. Pa. Jan. 20-"Learn to
use your left hand and 1t will take a
good man to whip you" said Johnny
Kilbane. the feather-wcight champion, In
his dressing room, after beating Patsy
Cline in two rounds.
THE fact that he could use his LETT
hand kept Abe Attell a champion for
twelve years. He could do almost any
thing with that left. BY that 1 mean
he could snap. jab. hook. swing, upper
cut or feint with it.
Here is a good way to train your
punch: Take the bag and put a couple
of dots, white. red and yellow, on it
about the size of a silver dollar. Then
begin to punch, and remember that you
must do certain things with both hands
Jab the yellow dot as II swings around.
Use a right hand straight punch on the
black dot and hook the left on the red
dot.
Its hard for a time to think about
the different colors and the different
punches, but 1t comes almost with the
return of the bag after you have been
working at it a while. Not only will
your brain respond. but by trying to land
exactly on the colored dot, your fist be-
comes accurate"
Kilbane called the turn on his knock
out over Patsy Cline.
"If I do not stop Cline. I will retire
after the Chaney fight" said the cham
pion. "Cline, / am told, is a corking
good youngster but when a novice gets
up against a thing he is not sure about,
he is not hard to beat. He begins to
make mistakes, and as he pays for them
his confidence departs. will stop
Cline" He did.

WHY so STRANGELY SILENT

Persons inclined to give Volnsy T,
Aoggatt and his newspaper employers
credit for q spirit of fairness towards
those who have come out in oppoat
ton 70 his so-called "Herd-Law" have
found cause for conflict with theiI
iirst opinion since the measure has
become the subject OF discussion over
The state. IL has been remarked that
Editor Hoggatt, In his weekly, has
failed absolutely TO mention the fact
that the stockgrowers of the state, all
OF whom he would have US believe
are cattle barons, are not the only
ones who have declared an unaltsr'
able enmity to his measure. 1t has
been especially noticeable here of
late that he has refused to comment
on the fact that the Farmers Grange.
the Farmers Union, the State Dairy
mems association. the Denver Civic
and commercial association and other
business organizations in cities and
towns over all Colorado also have de-
eiared the proposed law Ubiquitous and
bristling with provisions dangerous TO
the states very prosperity.
And the obyiousnsss OF that fall
ure was made more clear cut, some
what humorously too, for those who
have been impressed by the penchant
of the Denver Post and its weekly
auxiliary TO quote frequently and at
length every view or comment on any
thing pertaining to farming or agricul-
tusal branches that fell from the lips
Of Eugene drubb. known turnout the
world as the potato king. when MI

And the Post and Great Divide re-
manned strangely silent. II failed to
mention also the attack on the law

material nomination candidate, b. F.
