Correct Hitting
Is Important

Noe, who Is university graduate
in the school Of physical training
knows a lot about proper hitting
and what straight punching means.
The knuckles OF the punching
hand must be In a straight line
with the elbow declares Moe. "and
the blow must fall fiat on the closed
fist or the delicate system OF Cart.
lagos In the wrist are endangered.
So many OF your fighters break
their hands unnecessarily by curv.
ing their hands Mt the wrist and
putting too much Of strain on that
mechanism. In hook punching the
blow must be landed by tho knuckle
OF the first finger or else the hand
Is in danger Of being broken because
OF the wrong angle OF the punch.
Too many boys take their gym.
nasium boxing too lightly and when
they punch bag or a dummy they
should take pains 10 see that they
are punching correctly. They can't
expect to hit incorrectly in gymna-
SUM work and then do Il right in
the ring. Practice makes perfect
and It takes a lot OF practice 10

Cans Greatest
of Them All

The greatest ail.around fighter
in any class that ever stepped thru
the ropes was Joe Cans, the Old
Master. when he was in his prime.
You'll have to take Noes word
for that.
Cans had everything" says Moe.
HE had the brains. the perfect
fighting body, the instinct. the wal.
Top, the skill and the heart-every.
thing but a willingness to take the
game seriously. II Cans had listened
to his trainers and had been trained
properly no would have reached
even greater glory than he dId.
The only reason that Battling
Nelson ever beat him was because
he trained more faithfully. Nelson.
IN my opinion. was the earnest man
shat eyer fought. He had prae-
tically no defense except hn chin
and his lndominatable sGrf. lie
took everything his opponents had
until they started to break and then
Nelson tore into them. Condition
was everything with Nelson"

About Fights
and Fighters
BY LEO II, LAsSEN

ONCE the trainer of the
~ worlds most famous
fighters, Ned Moe, the vet
eran boxing instructor of the
Y. M. c. A., still feels the
lure of the ring and he is in
his glory handling the des-
tiny of some young battler,
even tho he be but a green
preliminary boy.
Few Seattle fans who have
seen Moe in the role of sec
ond Mt the Seattle smokers
know that the little fellow
who peers so anxiously over
the tops of his gold-rimmed
spectacles and yells his in
structions at his charge in a
high-pitched. nervous voice,
was once the chief trainer
for Bob Fitzsimmons, Stanley
Ketchell and Battling Nelson,
training Nelson for his cham
pionship fight with Joe Cans
when Nelson won the title
from the Old Master.
Twenty years have brought about
many changes In Noes career and
he has been engaged as boxing In.
structor az tho local ''Y' for some
time and also does massage work
there.
But Moe. aitho IS years OF age,
can stu box with the best OF his
husky young students and he's as
straight as a string ana In the best
OF physical condition right now.
Condition IS mighty Important
factor that your present day fighter
overlooks a lot" says Moe. par
tlcularly the right kind OF condition.
Ing. While training Is much more
scientific now that II was In the
Old days. many OF the young fellows
hurt themselves by tho wrong kind
OF work.
Take Tod Morgan. for example.
That young fellow should DO doing
things to build himself up instead
Of the strenuous kind OF training
that he goes thru. the same kind Of
training that fellows trying 10 take
off weight participate in. I think
that Dode Bercot is the best trained
fighter In the Northwest and condi-
ton has played a big part In his
success
'But condition isn't tho most I'm.
portant thing In lighters makeup
by long shot. First comes heart
II a fighter isn't game. condition
means nothing. And second comes
brains. Fighting heart and eondi.
ton can do little without brains In
building up a champion.
1T takes a combination Of the
three TO put man on top. You'll |
find that your average preliminary |
fighter lacks one OF these essen

Big Liners Use 5000
Tons of Water on Trip

Few people would care to pay for a
liners drink FOR one voyage across the
Atlantic, even In water at a penny per
gallon. Very little change would be
given out of a $500 note.
One of the big Atlantic liners has to
carry about 5000 tons OF fresh water
for all purposes for a single voyage
from Southampton to New York. This
tonnage alone is about two and half
times the weight of Nelson's old flag
ship II. NJ. S. Victory, says London Tit
Bits.
A passenger on one of these levia-
thans uses for drinking and domestic
purposes about five gallons day on
the voyage. And as the ships average
5000, passengers snd crew, it means
they have to carry, roughly, weeks
water supply for a small country town
in tanks, neatly slowed away along the
sides of the ship.
But it Is the giant boilers that have
the greatest thirst. On one voyage the
Berengaria used over 5000 tons Of
water, or, at ten pounds to the gallon,
roughly, 6T2,000 gallons.-London Tit
Bits.
