you might say. If you wanted 10 pun
on a very delicate subject) that one
not familiar with the situation might
get the impression that there is some
fistic law compelling Disagreement
The mashed up ears OF Battling Nell

In the old days. not even the fighters
Of the mauling type always collected
the bad ears as is mostly invariably
the case with that same type today,
while a tin ear on a really clever
man was something Of a rarity
There is a reason for all this, OF
course, and in paging the local fist

encountered Abe Attell. former feath-
erweight champion. and as clever
man as ever stepped between the
ropes

ASK me something difficult The
reason is as plain as the nose on my

to the change in the style OF fighting,
or, rather 10 the change in the style
of not fighting In the old days the

away from them, or stepped inside Of

down. and carried sideways, and block
punches with their beans
The ear being in between the head
and the punch naturally the ear gets
all the blows It gets smeared up
and the blood coagulates. or some
thing, and unless 1t IS attended to at
once by some one who knows his
business the result is the tin ear.

any punches I could possibly avoid.

that his players eat more than any
other aggregation playing the game.

Whereupon he breaks them.

hit with a bat in It's first use he de-
clares the bat "a regular club Should

another chance as reward for getting
a hit for him the first time he used It
But if he pops in his first trip to the
plate with that bat, the club is broken
