Athletics Dominating Feature
of K. of C.'S Entertain

THE revival OF legalized boxing,
renewed interest in baseball
and rejuvenation OF outdoor
athletic contests in general can be
definitely traced, in a large measure,
TO war relief work in 0nnection with
providing entertainment and recrea-
ton for American soldiers, sailors
and marines Devotees OF athletics
are Indebted to a few men who made
the point to feature sports Especially
outdoor contests) as the one big at
traction in war camp activities.
The outstanding figure in this group
OF men is William J. Mulligan, Chair
man OF Knights OF Columbus Com
mittee on War Activities. An ath-
lete himself, Mr.. Mulligan knows the
real value OF athletic sports to a par
tlcipant in contests, and knows also
the keen enjoyment and healthful en-
tertainment 1t provides for specta-
tors. 1t Is because of this that Mr..
Mulligan, from the first day the
Knights OF Columbus began their
war relief work, insisted that ath-
letics be the dominating feature OF
the Knights entertainment and rec
reational activities. He spent mill
ions of dollars for athletic supplies

The stage is all set for this after

Var Relief Work Has Helped

titles of athletic paraphernalia over
seas for our soldiers.
Mr.. Mulligan visited all the big
military camps where American
troops are in France, England, Bel
GUM, Italy and Germany to espe-
cially study the needs OF our men
for everything in the way OF out
door sports. He played baseball with
the soldiers, threw the handball,
played tennis, pushed the medicine
ball, donned the boxing gloves and
exchanged punches with soldier ath-
letes. He knows how they feel
toward sports, and is directing a
X. OF c. overseas programme that
will insure all sorts OF outdoor sport
for the million and a half American
soldiers still in Europe awaiting the
day to come home. Mr.. Mulligan
knows what the men want and he Is
supplying II.
There can be no doubt that the re-
markable volume OF publicity given
to athletics as result OF the policy
adopted by the Knights of Columbus
and other war relief organizations
has impressed legislators, and the re-
suit is the probable passage OF laws,
IN many States, legalizing boxing and
permitting baseball on Sundays. Mr..
Mulligan's statements indorsing box
ing have been placed before law
makers throughout the country with
manifest effect. A statement emanat-
ing from Knights of Columbus head
quarters to the effect that the order
favored legalzed sparring exhibi-
tons was quoted by hundreds of
writer's throughout the United States.

The evening world., 1919-04-12

One OF the most remarkable left
handed hitters ever known In the
American ring was Dal Hawkins.
Dal was brought up in Virginia City,
Nevada, and as a boy did quite
little fighting in that old mining
camp. When he went TO San Fran
cisco he had taught himself a style
of fighting that was all his own. lie
had studied out use OF the iet'
hand that no other fighter had at
taat time. Dal practised striking
q blow by reaching out slowly TO
full arms length and then suddenly
twlsting his wrist, turning the PAIN
al his clenched hand down ana
slightly lifting the elbow. This blow
was tho shortest left hand blow ever
used by any fighter. 1t travelled only
three or four inches and II knocked
"A man down as II he had been struck
with a baseball bat.
Frank Erne, one OF tho fastest
lightweight champions OF his time
was caught and nearly knocked out
by that blow. Erne was watching
Hawkins's left. In tho first round
as the men came together Hawkins
reached out slowly with that LETT.
Erne told me he thought Hawkins
intended 10 pull down his guard,
which WAS held high. Erne saw
Hawktns's hand poised motlonless
in the air just ansse Erne's own pro-
tecting right forearm-and then he
heard the referee count seven,
realized that he was lying on his
back. and managed TO get up.
What happened was Just TINS;
Hawkins reached out slowly until
his hand was near enough to deliver
his peculiar blow. 1t didn't looF
like a punch. and Erne didn't move
30 get out of range. Hawkins gave
his wrist and forearm twist and
his clenched glove struck on Erne' $
cheekbone. But for Erne's high
guard the blow would have reached
his chin, as Hawkins intended, and
Erne would have been knocked out
Hawkins knocked out scores ol
fighters with that blow. In each o
his two fights with the great Joe Cans
he dropped Cans for a gine-secont
count in the first round, with this
punch. II was a blow even the spec
tators could hardly see delivered, ant
the effect OF II was as startling to thu
onlookers as 10 the recipient.

Fitzsimmons Greatest
Left t-Handed Hitter

Bob Fitzsimmons was the most re-
markable left handed hitter OF them
all. FitZ knocked out hundreds OF
men with his left hand. Ho could hit
equally hard with either hand, but
usually hit first with the left-and
that was enough to win. He made
the "solar peNus punch" famous
when he knocked out Corbett in four
teen rounds at Carson.
when Fitzslmmons first toured
America as n fighter he knocked out
most Of his victims by hitting them
on the Jaw with either right or left
Mike Donovan told Fitz that he'd
surely kill some of the big fellows
who fought him on the stage when
he was meeting all comers. II he con-
tinucd knocking them out with blows
on the chin. Many of them where
blacksmiths and lumbermen and
strong fellows who didn't know how
TO protect their & as, but thought
they could fight. re begged Fitz to
hit them in the body. with the left.
SO Fitz worked out the solar plexus
punch, and Mike once told me Bob
was as pleased as child with n
new toy as he went on, night after
night, knocking out his men with n
single hook neatly placed on the soft
spot Just below the edge of the ribs,
usually called the pit of the
stomach"
Fitzsimmons had n trick OF shift
ing his right foot forward and then
hooking the left hand just as he
would naturally hook n right in the
normal left foot forward boxing posi-
| tion. This was his famous shift"
and II gave him tremendous leverage
