1t was Dempsey's stunning left. de-
velopec largely through long hours OF
slugging the heavy bag, that gave him
the championship and held it for seven
years.
The Same for Tunney.
IN thinking of Jim Corbett I can still
1 recall Gene Tunney, years ago at
Miami Beach, working out the cor
rect method of hitting with sparring
partners and the light and heavy bags.
There were six punches in which
Gene specialized-a straight left and
right to the chin, the same to the body
and left and right uppercut to the
body.
Tunney was smart enough to know
that these punches had to be planted
on the right spot to make them count
He wanted to be ready to drive q
nail with either hand when the open
ing came. He was one of the most
accurate of all punchers, without max
ing any attempt to use punch, which
might break up his balance If he
missed
Walter Monahan used to explain how
closely Tunney studied all the smaller
details of correct punching form. And
recall this Monahan line before the
first Dempsey fight: 'Tunney doesn't
seem to be punching hard, but he is
punching in the right way and every
time he hits me in the body can tell
you it hurts"
1t was also Tunney, who, deep in the
woods, worked out the method of run
ming backward. He knew that in
times Of danger or trouble skillful
retreat also had its uSnS
He proved this in the seventh round
of his second Dempsey fight at Chicago
when he ran backward faster than
Dempsey could move forward.
Definite Plans.
Champions work on definite plans of
training and development. The average
entry merely Slogs along mechanically,
with no definite scheme of funda-
mental improvement in his mind.
Leading examples are Ty Cobb and
his base-running plans, Bobby Jones
and his putting after seven years of
championship failure, Bill Tilden and
his change of pace which rarely gave
itself away; Babe Ruth and his posi-
tion or stance at the plate, adopted
partly from Shoeless Joe Jackson.
Each Of these had in his mind some
definite pattern to be worked out and
pushed over into subconscious action,
at least made partly instructive through
long hours of practice and thought.
+ Which Is simply another way of say
ing they worked with their minds as
well as with their muscles, which SO
few ever do over any extended stretch
of time

The Corbett System.

JAMES j. CORBETT, tenanted at
last with John L. and Fitz on the
~ shadowed side of Charon's mystic
river, is one of the few heavy
weights who worked on definite plans
in training. Jack Dempsey and Gene
Tunney are two others on this list.
Il used to put mattress up against
the WALL" he said one day, "and mark
my target on it. No one will ever know
how many hours 1 spent jabbing and
punching at this target.
My idea was to learn how to hit the
right sport from any angle, to develop
both speed and accuracy-to keep mov-
ing at top speed all the time.
Il always imagined that I was ac-
tually fighting, which helped to break
up the boring routine of training. I'd
feint with my left and hit with my
right. I'd feint with my right and jab
with my left. Then I'd feint with my
left and hit with my left, always mixing
up my attack.
THE main idea in boxing is to keep
your opponent bewildered and guessing
to break down his mental balance.
Few boxers tooay-almost none-know
what the true art of feinting is. Strib-
ling used it to make the other fellow
miss-rarely to land blow. The best
of the modern feinters, he used this
weapon for defense, not attack. With
all the money and athletic fame to be
made from boxing today, so few make
any real attempt to build up the fun
damentals of skill and speed with any
definite plan in mind"
The Case of Dempsey.
A LONG this line I can still recall
n the Dempsey of 10 or Is years ago
as he slugged the heavy bag with
lefts and rights.
This big bag. swung out from diff
ferent angles, was the target Dempsey
used in developing one of the most pun
ishing left hands in ring history.
He would slug at this big bag week
after week with a savage intensity,
which gave the impression that he saw
some hostile figure pounding in his di-
rection.
PUNCHING bags, weighing over hundred
pounds, wide open with left hook that
drove 1t back 10 feet. He practiced
slugging this heavy target from every
possible angle weaving in and out,
using leftS and rights, working on hit
ting speed as well as hitting power
You had the feeling that he was sure
to break hand or smash a wrist before
he was through. Instead he built up
the fiber of his hands and wrists to
such an extent that he never suffered
in any way along this line.
Dempsey was keen and tireless
worker, just as Jim Corbett was in his
heavyweight days-from the late 80's
