A big head is the best temperance lect

won't listen to it.
Il says to myself: John, you're the
champion damn fool of the world. All
these years you've been trying to lick
old John BarleScorn and, like a fool,
you couldn't see when he's got the
count OF ten on you. You were sucker
enough to think you had a. million
friends. Where are they all now 7?
Gone with the million you threw away.
And lot more of such stuff.
Then fellow came along and asked
me to have drink.

Boxing Leads
Sports In Naval
Training Camps
Exhibitions Held Twice Each
Week and Big Crowds
Are Attracted

NEW HAVEN, Feb. Reports fled
with Walter Camp, commissioner Of
athletics for the United States Navy
clearly indicate that to date boxing /.
the official sport of the enlisted man
in the marine service of Uncle Sam
The number of marines tak,nc
part in this sport is double that en-.
gagged in any other athletic actiyitv
since the thirteen naval stations of tho
country began to be filled with young
Americans, last spring. The attendance
at the boxing exhibitions, which have
been held twice week in all the sta.
tlons, has run as high as 900 and
l, 200 persons
Plans which were mapped out for ths
organization of boxing classes called
for interesting the greatest possible
number Of men in this sport, and tha
daily classes which were organized con.
tanned between 100 ard 200. No effort,
have been made to develop specialized
boxers, the great aim being to give in.
struction to every young man in tho
station.
Good Standard Sought
For several months after the naval
stations were opened experiments werc
made in efforts to develop the most
practical set of boxing instructions for
general adoption. The set perfected at
the Great Lakes Station, in Illinois, has
been selected and orders have just been
issued that boxing be taught in nava.
stations throughout the country as fol.
lows
I. Instruction in balling fists, tn.
proper placing of weight on feet, with
weight a little on front feet. Practice
three steps advance and with left lab
three steps retract with left hook.
2. instruction on left hook.
s. instruction on right cross to belly,
Although boxing instruction is given
IN many of the stations by profession
ais and semi-profes essionals, who are en-.
listed men, some of the best known
boxers of the country are included IN
the list of teachers. Eddie Shevlin is
at bingham, Mass, Eddie Murphy at
Commonwealth Pier William Rolfe at
the Boston Navy Yard. William Free,
man at Bunkin Island, Granville Lee a.
Portland, and Mike Glover at the Pei
ham Bay station.
In wrestling as we'll as boxing a
STANDARDIZED programme has been de-
veloped. This was also perfected at
the Great Lakes stationu. Two of tho
wrestling instructors at this station are
Ben Reuben and Jack Gruppell. The
standardized instruction in wrestling
involves the following orders:
l. Ordinary hold around the waist:
the instruction on how to break such
hold with the knee or heel of the hand
or head.
2. Headlock and break.
3. Strangle hold and flying mare.
4. Waist hold and flying marc.
5. Double wrist lock. =

By Louis Lee Arms

The last time saw John L. Sullivan
was at the Willard Moran fight at
Madison Square Garden two years ago.
| chanced to sit next him among the
press seats. 1t was Sullivan's last pub
lie appearance in New York City.
Sullivan was covering the fight for a
syndicate Of newspapers. He had be-
fore him several reams Of copy paper,
and he made notes pninstakingly with
yellow pencil. The "stuff," which was
carried under his name, was dictated
by him and whipped into newspaper
shape by q trained writer.
The writer's finished product was
placed on telegraph wires at the ring
side, and the country, or that part Of
it which was to follow the Sullivan
chronicle, knew round by round what
the veteran gladiator thought of the
fight.
John L. showed his age that night,

has in any way held his own with the
crowds. The others as soon as they
lost their titles dropped out of sight.
Who cares a continental for Jeffries
to-day? Nobody. Who is particularly
interested in the big stiff that is now
champion? Nobody. Why, in order to
get his name into the papers he has to
make some bluff about enlisting. You
could not get him to enlist if you
pulled gatling gun on him.

their immense purses and rag chewing

boxing laws. One way or another tkcy
