who can say that. OF course, it isn't
anything to brag about, and I'm not

But I did sit down, and try to

I decided that the army needed

but he referred me TO the Recrea-
ton Department. That was a blow
to my plans in itself. Boxing. I be
lieved. was not q recreation for
the army, but an absolute necessity.
When 7 got to Washington. I went
to the officials and showed them how
a blow on the jaw might prove more
detrimental than a bayonet wound,
when close hand-to-hand fighting oc-
CURED. When you knocked a man
out, he was harmless for quite a
while, or even if you only stunned
him. In that time you could disarm
him. Whereas if he were lying on
the ground bayoneted. he could easily
reach for a side-arm and shoot
So I won my argument and went
to work I soon lined up Benny Leon
ard, Johnny Coulon. Mike and Tommy
Gibbons. Johnny Griffiths and some
other star boxers. I went to Camp
Sherman, Ohio. The others were sent
TO other camps.
Then I learned another thing. No
two boxers fight alike. Each has his
individual style. The result was that
each Of US was teaching a different
system.
4 Meeting Called
SO I had a meeting of all instrue-
tors called at Camp Gordon and there
We adopted a general system. We at
tended a school for sixteen days.
A Major Owens, bayOnet expert Of
the British army. who later was
killed. came over about that time to
instruct the boys IN the gentle art
Of using a bayonet. We discovered
that boxing and bayoneting were
pretty much alike. and then the box
ing system we had built up was final
" developed as a medium through
which the soldiers could properly
learn to use the knives on the ends
Of their guns.
That is how came to be called
the Father of boxing in the Army.
I was with the Army for twenty
two months.
But all Things eventually come 10 an
end, just as my championship may
some day, and the war was over.
I had determined TO retire from
the boxing game. but Jimmy Dunn
convinced me I ought to go on bit
longer. So 1 did.
Shortly after that. the hardest blow
OF my life struck me out Of a clear
sky. My hair turned gray from 1t
practically over night. Many people
since then have asked me why I mad
gray hair.
Well, It all came about through the
most terrible experience 1 ever had.
