Boring Has Little
Value After Forty
Jimmy Dunn, Famous Authority Boxing and Maker Of
Champion Fighters, Discusses Boxing Exercise
By JIMMY DUNN
By JIMMY DJ
Famous Boxing Authority

What is the value OF boxing as an
exercise for the civilian7
That quest iaon Ia asked me more
than any other by persons anxious
to take up gymnasium work.
Boxing is fine exercise for tho
civilian. but Il has its limitations. BY
that l mean there Is an age limit
that governs its value.
One Is never too young to start to
learn the boxing game. Boxing
makes for confidence in the youth,
which is most desirable. While one
is never too young to start. there
comes a time when age bars the
way.
Unless the man is a physical mar
vel 1 would say that boxing after 40
is more injurious than helpful. II
has been proven that boxing is far
too strenuous for most men after
they have passed the 40 mark. II
calls for entirely too much heart
action.
To get the mort good out OF box
ing. those participating must be the
judge OF their physical condition. By
that 1 mean no one should continue
20 box for a single second after they
become fatigued.
Oncrs Some Good Advice.
Any exercise which Is taken after
fatigue has set in. Is very harmful
II should be agreed between tho
boxers that the moment one OF then
becomes tired he should have th'

In so doing I have used methods di-
,rectly opposite to those employed
by most managers and boxers.
However. I have been fairly sue
cossful.
when my professional boxers are
training FOR bouts I never have the
stop watch on them to see that each
round goes the required limit.
Neither do have bell to announce
the start and finish OF a round.
/ instruct all my boys to call time
the moment they begin to tire Like
wise, want them TO Immediately
suspend action the moment a boxer
receives a blow that has him on the
verge OF a knockout
I never want a boy to suffer 4

himself. the very thing that / an

TOday'S Sport Angle

In anaiyzing the possibilities OF
baseball. have you ever given any
thought to the part that throws
from the outfeid play in deciding
ball games.
Probably not. because when one
thinks OF an outfelder. he first
looks him over from the standpoint
OF a batter. then gives his fielding
some consideration and finally
passes judgment on his fieetness OF
foot
As rule. one seldom pays much
attention TO the throwing arm. II a
fielder has a strong whip and can
heave the ball a great distance, the
fan momentarily marvels at the
throw and then forgets II.
However, the throwing feature OF
an outheld is OF the greatest i'm
portance. Far more than most peo-
pie think. II Is not so much the
ability OF the felders TO throw a
great distance, as II is for them TO
throw the ball TO the proper place
and do il accurately.
more ball games are lost through
erratic throwing by the outfielders
in the majors than by muffed fiy
balls" is the statement Hughey Jen-
nings made TO me one day last sum-
mer.
At first I thought Hughey musi
have been dreaming, but as I gave
. the matter further consideration,
was just about willing to admit tha
his done was right. Inside OF two
months after Hughey had made hi
wise crack to me, I counted IL
games that were lost through errati'
throwing.
What is meant by erratic throw
ing? I will try to explain. We vii
assume the score is 8 TO in favol
OF the team In the field. There is
runner on second base and two mel
out. That makes Il necessary 70
the visiting team to get two runs L
tie the game.
In most cases a runner on seconl
can score on a base hit. Since twl
runs are needed to tie, the thing 4
do II the batter comes through will
base hit is to forget about tn
rhnner on second and hold the bats
man on first.
In a great many cases on sucl
