JACK USES
LET 7 HOOK
flHht tanS,

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
n. Y. July 19.-"Sharkey can't
take left hooks in the body" Leo
P. Flynn told me when we had
our first confab about this fight
for Thursday night.
Then what's what he'll gel"
I said.
Right" said Flynn.
Since which time my training
has been, concentrated upon driv-
ing left hooks into human bodies.
And that. plus a right for a
body as counter for a left jab,
has been the real secret Of my
training program.
In all my other fights never
tried any defense against left
jabs, nor any real counter At.

for the privilege of getting
few swipes at him when he left
an opening.
But this time it's different
IL my plans work out as l hope,
then Sharkey is going to get plenty
of right-hand smashes in the ribs
in exchange for his left jabs. I've
worked on that punch-and worked
on it. l have not perfected It AS
might with more training. But

such a point that IL Sharkey starts
out thinking he's going to jab my
head off without a return. he's
going to be sadly mistaken young
man.
And while I've practiced that
I've certainly practiced overtime
with the left hook for the liver.
In the other days was not so
good with that punch because
was swinging too much, but
in this camp here j have gath

for 1t won't be long after that
Is a young man with a bad idea.
For, in the first place, the hardest
punch in the world to guard against
is any kind OF left hook. I've
never seen the manor known the
man-who could defend himself sue
cessfully against left hooks for the
body that were thrown from short
range and with a fair amount of
accuracy.
Jim COrbett Is rated rs the
most masterfuI boxer of all time;
as the greatest defensive fighter
that ever lived. Yet Jim admitted
10 me that keeping out of the
way Of a wel-timed left hook for
the body was the thing that even
he could not do with any great
degree Of success.
Sharkey is not Corbett. And II
Corbett couldn't keep out of the way
of left hooks for the liver--well, how
can Sharkey expect to do 1t?
And it is all true that Sharkey
cannot take such punches, absorb
them and go right on fighting as il
nothing at all had happened--well,
whenever get to thinking about
how that left hook for the body is
working, begin to think about what
sort of training program I'll adopt

"Of course, Sharkey may decide
to do a bit of sprinting right from
the start. He may try to last as
long as he can. In such. a case,
Jack may not get any early shots

just whack him here and whack
