As we all know, England Is the
home of boxing. Englishmen were
the FIRST to use their fists 10 settle
their personal quarrels. To be sure.
they were compelled to do this, as
they were not allowed to carry arms.
Then, too, II was in the Englishman's
makeup to carry a knife, as other
nations did.
In the old armies the English COM
mon soldier fought with the good
broad sword" a terrible weapon in,
the hands Of a powerfully built Eng
lishman. Deprived of his broad sword.
the Englishman readily took to the
single stick.
Jim Fieg. the first Engiishman to
rise to the top Of the fistic world,
was n broad sword and single stick
champion before he became a boxer,
Icathery hardness. He found that hts
boxing was but a continuation OF his
broad sword and single stick work.
The round arm swing was all the
fashion in the early days OF boxing.
The same strokes were the best used
in fighting with the heavy broad
sword. Later, when the rapier fenc-
ing came into fashion. the more deft.
and quite as deadly. straight arm jab
arrived in boxing. This was later
followed by the uppercut, which ~
stiI considered one OF the best in q
boxers rCpertory.
Today we see few clever boxers use
the round arm swing, though Frank
Klaus, because he was tremendously
muscle-bound, used II to advantage
Most OF them these days depend upon
the straight blows, with short hooks
and uppercuts for inside work. And
all these blows are based on the same
fundamentals as battling with a bay

And then came a big rush OF or
