outguesses the opposition. He tricks the other fellow time and time again. He makes his opponent wear himself out by wild swinging. Herman's brains have been as vital factor in keeping him at the top of the bantam class as have his hands.
 Few men ever lived who were greater ring generals than Benny Leonard But Benny, in addition to being one of the cleyerest men who ever pulled on a glove and one of the smartest. is also a ter rife puncher. Because of all those as sets he ranks as one of the great est fighters of all time He also has wonderful physical strength, splendid endurance and Is game to the core.
 Go through the list that embraces the names of great fighters in pugilistic his- tory. And what do you find? Nothing except that the men who lasted longest in the ring and achieved the greatest number of triumphs were men of brain and skill Kid Mccoy, Tommy Burns, Jack Dempsey "the Nonpareil.' Joe Cans, George Dixon, Jack McAuliffe, Kid Lavigne and hundred others. endured in ring harness for many years
 They rank among the most wonderful fighters of all time. Yet not one of them was real Knock lem dead'' fighter. Rather, they were men of cleverness, who had brains-and used them. These were men unexcelled in ring generalship. They won many a fight because they out guessed the opposition: they saved them- selves just as many times in the declfn- ing years of their greatness by similar tactics.
 And so it can be seen that, after all, although the wallop Is something mighty in favor of a fighter, it isn't everything, for brains figure largely in the success or failure of a pugilist.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-04-22

0ClIE wallop is mighty asset in
 ring warfare but brains in the i A final analysis are almost as vital. The mighty punch has won many battles but generaIship has saved just as great number.
 Johnny Kilbane is one of the best in- stances among present day fighters to show what generalship can do. The featherweight champion is not a terrific hitter-and at the present time seems to be well beyond his fistie prime. In the past few years he has taken on youngsters far more aggressive than him. self-kids who had a mighty punch and who were unhurtable. They sailed into Kilbane and several of them on various occasions had the champion in bad way.
 But In every instance the skill of Kil- bane, the generalsfnp of Kilbane and the craftiness of the Irish champion came to his help. He weathered every storm because he knew just what to do when the going was toughest. He saved him. self on numberless occasions just because he had brains-added to cleverness.
 Jack BrItton isn't man with punch. He never packed a great wailop at any time during his career but Britton now around s years old, Is just as wonder ful a fighter as he was 10 years ago This is due to the fact that he has brains and that he is a ring general par excel lence. He probably has not present day equal in craftiness. He is always on the alert, always watchful
