Ignorant of Kidney
Punch, Says Choynski
San Francisco, Oct. 10.

One punch that the fighters of to-
day do not know how to use is the
kidney punch, says the veteran Joe
Choynski
"To us old timers it is quite
amusing to sit at fight and hear
remarks about the kidney punch
when some third rater reaches over
the shoulder of the man he is fight
ing and slams him with the open
hand on the back. Ad Wolgast,
worlds champion, was supposed
to know how to use the kidney
punch. But even Wolgast did not
use it properly.
"The man who introduced the
kidney punch was Danny Needham,
and there's never been another man
who could use the punch as Danny
could. The kidney punch is jab
and not a swing. And it doesn' t
land on a mans back. 1t lands on
the soft part of the side-just
above the belt. One kidney punch
or two, though painful, will not be
very effective"

that slur calls for something more
than severe reprimand, for while
it hints at grave irregularities, it
really proves nothing more than
that the author was reluctant rather
than free" in opening those purse
strings and that he has the i'll grace
to advertise the fact. The Allied
Missions undertook a monster task
upon short notice and with but little
time for organization, and the effi-
cheney of their work was nothing
short of marvellous. That there
were mistakes, here and there, could
not but have been expected, and it
is truly wonderful that there were
not more, but to attempt to be-
smirch the beauty of the whole by
making big smear of the few
blotches amounts to an inexcusable
act of vandalism. 1t is reflection
upon the character of the best peo-
pie in this land, and it should be
speedily and thoroughly retracted.
