TRAINING SERIOUS,
LOUGHRAN THINKS.
Man Who Shirks Doesn't Get
Very Far, Light-Heavy
Champ Declares.
BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN,

T RAINING Is a serious matter,
and the men who get very far
in the boxing game don't shirk
Il 1t. Any person who has dieted
knows that abstaining from the
things you like is not the pleasantest
task in the world.
Boxers have their culinary likes and
dislikes, as well as other folk, and 1t is
just as much test of will power for
them to keep from eating. But 1t isn't
only your eating that has to be watched.
You can't stay up at night, even when
there's lot Of fun going on. You have
to be out Of bed early in the morning for
q run on the road, and there is the
steady grind of bag-punching and calls
themes and all the rest.
Not Soft Existence.
I wouldn't advise anybody who is
looking for a soft existence to take UP
this game. On the other hand no one
ever achieved success in any line with
out hard work and sacrifices. It can't
be done.
At that, training for a fight in these
times Is not nearly as strenuous as 1t
was in the old, bare knuckle days. I've
read how John G. Heenan, for instance,
ran or walked as much as 40 miles in
the course Of his days work. A trainer
who permitted anything like that now
would be considered a fit subject for
the lunatic asylum.
Forty miles, imagine that? Five miles
OF running Is my daily grind. You
would think chap would have left all
his stamina In his training camp in
the old DAYS. and would have had very
little left for the fight. But all credit
to the boys who went through with it.
Many fellow refused to stand the
gaff.
Let Dog Do Training.
They tell story of famous heavy
weight some years back who apparent
ly was a great steamer when it came
to training He would go out for his
run on the road accompanied only by
a dog Once out of sight he'd relax
gracefully under tree and amuse him.
self tossing sticks for the pup to chase.
When the animal was all in a lather
the fighter would trot back to camp,
finishing the last quarter mile with a
great burst of speed. He completely
fooled his trainer, but he fooled him.
self more. When he got into the ring
against a tough opponent I'll bet he
wished he had done the running and let
the dog lie under the tree.
When you have big Job on hand
it's worth while getting fit.
