AIN JOnNSOEN, tHe DiS
II black who held the heavy
" weight title, perfected the
right-hand uppercut as nearly
rs any man.
johnson delighted in practic-
ing that blow on opponents short
er in stature than himself,
where it would show to excellent
advantage. johnson, strong as
q Hereford bull. could lift these
smaller opponents around, plant
them to suit his whims, and ex-
ercise his deadly uppercut on
them at will.
Jess Willard, much taller than
johnson, rendered Johnson's best
punch futile by a little THINK
ING. Perhaps the thinking was
done for Willard by someone
else. Jess was never noted for
THINKING.
When johnson would start his
right-hand uppercut at Willard,
Jess would raise himself on his
toes, pulling his chin away back.
The punch, travelling upward,
would stop inches short of the
mark.

Jewish fighter Of a hundred
years back
Do not confuse him with
"Young Dutch Sam" whose
name was Evans. "Old Dutch"
was a far greater fighter-one
of the greatest that tever lived.
"Old Dutch" was normally
136-pound man. He was tall for
his weight, about the size Of
Benny Leonard. Yet he easily
beat the best middleweights and
light heavyweights of his time.
He was a THINKING fighter.

RIGHT-HAND uppercut I,

A RIGHT-HAND uppercut to
~ the face or chin delivered
- in close quarters, short,
sharp, snappy, jolts the head
backward with great violence.
The jolt seems to have a di-
rect effect on the spinal nerve
centers. Jerk your own head
backward suddenly and you will
see what we mean.

" hand uppercut, is a left
Az hand uppercut.
We have told you of it in this
column before. Few fighters
possess the knack of delivering
the blow.
Dempsey can do it. So can
Luis Firpo, the giant Argentine.
As we have related, they learn
ed it at the same school, from
Jimmy de Forrest, veteran
trainer of fighters.
First with Dempsey, then
with Firpo, de Forrest used a
heavy sandbag, making them
punch it hour after hour with
their left hands driving upward.
The left hand uppercut is all
the more effective because it
Is a punch rarely anticipated
by an opponent.

<S0LD DUTCH" was fight
ing Caleb Baldwin,
" called the Pride Of
Westminster.
In those days ring fighters had
no variety of blows. They used
straight rights and straight
lefts. 1t was smuggling more
than anything else. Wrestling
was an important part of the
game.
"Old Dutch" gave Baldwin a
hard pounding after the ninth
round. Baldwin kept closing in
70 get hold of Sam for a fall.
sOld Dutch" could not use his
straight punches with any ef-
feet when Baldwin closed.

r N the twentieth round "Old
Il Dutch" suddenly began
shooting his right hand up
ward into Baldwin's face when
Baldwin came close.
They were short, snappy lit
tie punches, but "Old Dutch"
found he could put the leverage
of his body under them. He
soon had Baldwin's face in ter
rible condition. / nthe thirty
seventh round Baldwin was car
ried off, almost insensible.
Thus the right-hand uppercut
came into the game.

that punch. So does Firpo.
Dempsey taught it to young

Pola Negri Coming in August

after reading it was ready to agree
with him that he had written a
powerful drama, and. unlike many
authors. had at once caught the idea
of having an international flavor to
his story. When he gave me the
script he said he was an admirer OF
Miss Negris work, and, having met
her personally, knew that it fitted her
peculiar talents.
"a few weeks later met Miss Negri
