The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-06-02

In my earliest days, when / was
striving for boxing knowledge, I
learned the value Of an uppercut,
and through the years have made
the effort to perfect it. attribute
much of my ring success to the fact
that learned to use an uppercut
and that / used it.
An uppercut can be driven to the
Jaw or to the body, depending upon
the opening that presents itself.
And, when properly landed, 1t has
. most disconcerting effect upon
ones foeman, for it jolts the head
back violently, if the jaw is struck,
or 1t does a lot toward taking the
tight out of the other man If the
punch lands in the body.
An uppercut Is used only in
what is called ''shOrt-range
fighting" 1t is useless to try
TO land an uppercut when your
fOeman is several feet away
from you, nor is it much of
punch to use when your Zoe.
man Is much taller than you.
For such q punch loses some
of its power If it has to be
lifted too high.
The times when an uppercut
should be used are: When you and
your opponent are close together
in a boxing rally, and his chin or
body is close to you; or, when he
Is rushing at you or crowding you.
In those moments he is within
range of an uppercut. At times
like that you have a beautiful op-
portunity to land it under his chin
or into his body. Seize the op-
portunity.
AT the moment when you are
ready to shoot your uppercut, it
- well to drop your shoulders an
inch or two; that is. while YOU are
learning the punch. But do it with
great speed. Then, as you have
dropped your shoulders, to get real
leverage, lift the arm and shoulder
with the same motion. Do it with
all possible speed and power, be-
cause the faster the uppereut and
the more strength that goes into it,
the surer you are of stopping your
opponents rush or driving him
into eithe ra clinch or a retreat.
Most persons learning to shoot
an uppercut commit the folly Of
bending the wrist. And that usual
ly brings misfortune to them. For,
If the wrist is bent, then there is
always the likelihood of the wrist
being hurt. So keep the wrist rigid
and in a straight line with the fore
arm when striking an uppercut.
The principal of delivery to the
body, is the same as to the chin.
But. of course, the objective is diff
ferent. In shooting uppercuts for
the body, try to land them at a
point just below the ribs. The sud-
den lifting force of such blow GER
tainly will put your opponent off
balance, and perhaps cause him to
retreat in his attack upon you. Be.
cause really effective uppercut is
difficult to land, it must be prac-
ticed often-often-often. In prac-
ticing it, shoot 1t along in easy
fashion at first. uLtil such time as
you have cultivated judgment of
distance, and have learned how to

ly in Recent Years

Sharp reduction in the estimated
expenditures for highway mainte-
nance in 1928 was recommended to
the state highway commission { day
by Secretary J. J. Ermatinge..
Commenting on the budget sub.
mitted by him to the commission,
Ermatinger suggested that mo~e
than $4,000 be Topped off the ST..
O32.O00 asked by the maintenance
division Of the highway department
to finance its work next year.
Pointing out that q steady IN.
crease in the cost Of maintenance
will reduce the amount Of money
available for construction work and
that, il the ratio Of increase for the
last year is maintained, this amount
soon will reduced to nothing Erma-
ii ger suggested that purchase Of
new snow fence be ~educed $50, 900;
equipment purchases be cut $34 900;
equipment oparation be cut $38.500; (;
routine maintenance be reduced $7O,-
813; highway marking be cut $1O,-
600 and reerayeling $4,000.
Costs Rapidly Mounting
0eintenance costs averaged 310l
IN 1926 % compared With an esti-
mated cost Of 4303.50 for 1927 and
IN estimated cost Of $287 for 1928,
Ermatinger pointed out.
I'm fairness to the maintenance
division some explanation should be
offered for the terrific increase in
maintenance expenditures for 1927
as against 1926" Ermat' ger said.
'ln 1926 snow prevention cost the
department only $7.638.88 whereas
in 1927 the cost will approximate

the department paid the insignifi-
