AN THIS date way back in 1857

AN THIS date way back in 1857 V Harry Lazarus defeated Denny Horrigan in 97 rounds at Point Al bino, Canada Lazarus had an ex- cellent reputation as a game and clever fighter, while Horrigan had by his prowess gained the popular nick name of "Drea dnaught-" In those days there was much prejudice gains boxing in the United States. and many of the biggest battles were pulled off in Canada. The Provinces were not very thickly populated at that period, and it was an easy mat ter for the American boxers and their followers to dodge across the boun- dary, pitch a ring in some uninhab- tied spot along lake or river, settle their differences and dodge back aEain. Only a few weeks before the Lazarus-Horrigan fight, the heavy weight championship of America had been decided at Long Point, Canada, 5y a battle between John Morrissey md John Heenan. One of the last If these Canadian invasions was pull ad off in 1872, when the famous

B PUNCH to the jaw has won

IN heavyweight championship bat
 ties than any other variety of blow When Jim Jeffries took the crown from the bald pate of Bob Fitzsim-
 mons in the eleventh round at Coney
 Island, just 20 years ago today it was
 a right swing to the jaw that turned
 the trick. Ruby Robert had won the title from Corbett with awful
 punches 10 the jaw and stomach, fol- lowed by a right to the heart and q left to the solar plexus. Corbett dropped John l.. Sullivan for the count with a succession of stiff punches to the jaw and face. The old Roman acquired the title by knocking out Paddy Ryan with a ter rible right swing to the jaw Jem punches to the jaw. face and neck. Tom Savers won the championship from Perry, the Tipton Slasher, with blows to the jaw. Tom King nearly killed John Heenan with punches to
 face and jaw.
 k Johnson won a majority of hisN lts with a right uppercut to the chin,T ut he depended upon punches to the stomach to wear his opponent down. Indeed, that has been the fla vorte of all heavyweights. Merciless btil Lt'TlIlS or the 'DOGy IS Ine pTeIiIIl- mary to the knockout punch to the jaw in most championship battles.
 The story of the Fitz-Jeffries bout 20 years ago illustrates this point. The account by rounds contains such items as these: Jeffries landed on the body. Jeff put right to The body. Jeff landed on stomach. Then, in the final inning, Jeff landed two stiff ones to the stomach, and Fitz, groggy, left his jaw unprotected against the ter rible rieflt swing that sent him down and out
 Kid Mccoy. one of the c1everest fighters in ring history, depended on his famous "corkscrew blow for the jaw to win his knockouts, but it was his liver punch that wore his op- ponents down. McCoy's liver punch was one of the most dama ging ever invented, although it was the more spectacular corkscrew that got the applause.

Domination

N
YOKOHAMA, June 10.-(By Mail)
Failure of the peace conference at
Paris 10 adopt Japans proposal of ra-
cial equality was denounced by Mar
quis Okuma, formerly premier of ia
pan, IN an address he delivered
recently before the Japan Civilization
society.
1T is y blot on justice and human
ity that the whites, who constitute
! less than onesthird of the worlds
population, assume the control Of the
world, and | declare that d Justice
and a humanity which do not recog-
ni2e racial equality are scarcely
worthy Of the name, he said. Ger
many has hitherto been d great in
fluence in the world, and this influ-
enee is about to be replaced BY Anglo
| American influence which will pro-
duce a far-reaching effect on the fu-
ture peace Of the world and the veal
of mankind
| Concluding, Marquis Okuma said
that the Japanese are considerably in
ferior to westerners in intellectual
powers, physical strength and wealth
and they must show no hesitation in
possessing themselves Of whatever
is required to make them the equal of
Others. He added:
There is nothing wrong In secur-
Ing development, morally, economi-
cally and socially. If the best efforts
are made in these directions it is to
be hoped that no great difficulty will
be experienced in surprising the AFRO
giant westerners and bringing them
to their knees"
