OBSOLETE TRAINING METHODS

In years gone by the fighter who
spent his time in a gymnasium was
outlawed among members of the box
Ing fraternity, but as the methods of
boxing changed so did the methods
OF training and proper dieting and
gymnasium work today Is a well de-
fined part of every real boxers
training routine. We still have the
ham and" fighters who are will
ing to go few rounds to get eating
money, but they are in the small ma
, jority.
The boxers who diet on cigarettes,
cigars and early morning parties and
get their exercise cranking stalled
flivvers these cold mornings will
never get anywhere in the roped
arena. A boxer can not smoke and
drink moonshine and hope to con-
tinue his ring career. A few Of our
Phoenix boxers have overlooked the
necessity for proper training and
continue the habit of 8 a, m. lunches,
but they are not making ring fame
and never will. The boxing game has
too many good clean living boys to
suffer from the habits of those who
are interested only in the amount
they receive for one nights work.
Attend the daily workouts and see
the boys who take an interest in
their training methods; keep your eye
on the boy who heeds the advice of
his trainer and trains until II grows
to be work. Then watch the fellow
who passes the gym to loaf around
and smoke cigarettes. You can mo-
tice the difference when they crawl
through the ropes.
