Defense Is Lost Art
In Boxing, Claims
Johnny Ki|bane
Ex-Feother King Calls
Modern Ring Fighting
'lnstolIment Murder
BY the Associated Press.

by tne Associated freSS.
LOS ANGELES, July Johnny
Kilbane, one of the greatest boxers
of them all, says ring defense is a
lost art.
White-haired, tanned, alert and
so, the featherweight champion
from 1912 to 1923 calls modern ring
fighting "installment murder"
Raw clubbing has adulterated
the most skillful of all sports"
Kilbane said while vacationing from
his duties as instructor of physical
education in Cleveland schools.
Show No Defensive Skill.
There are many things wrong
with the boxing game today-mis-
matching, chiseling, politics, monop-
oly-but I am primarily concerned
with the physical aspect.
Fighters seem to know only one
style now. That is to walk out of
their corners and start throwing
punches. They'll catch three to give
one. They don't slip punches
or feint or step back or aside. They
don't know how to ride with a
punch that can't be parried by
glove or arm.
you simply don't see knockout
punches today that travel only a
few inches. Yet the best knockout
blow is delivered by pressure from
the ball of the foot and need travel
only 2 inches.
Too Careful in Gym Work.
I'm my day we really did road
work. We hit the trail every
day =.
To-day boxers go in for headgears,
mouth protectors, eyebrow packs
and the like. They can't wear all
that equipment into the ring. If
these fellows would take few sting
ing blows in the gym they might
learn to cover up"
Kilbane knew how to box. He
doesn't wear ring scar.

ana Lnelr contents exposed and re-
analyzed.
In June issue of Chess, published
at Sutton Coldfield, England, are
pictured three types of memory tests
that 8-year-old Sammy took. The
first type involves sheer memorial
ton of table of figures seven digits
across and four digits in vertical po-
sion. A variant of this type is an
other table that has eight digits
across and five digits deep. Then
the figures are exchanged for letters
of the alphabet in table four let
ters wide and four letters deep.
Reshevsky memorized the
first table Of figures in three
minutes, the second in four,
and failed to learn the alpha
bet table at all as he knew
nothing Of the Roman alpha
bet.
The second type of memory test
was concerned with geometrical
forms. Four squares with geometri
cal forms were given and after 10
seconds Reshevsky was asked what
forms he had observed by comparing
with another chart on which only
two of the original forms we're pres
ent. His visual memory was poor
and he did badly on this type of
test.
Lacks Photographic Memory.
tvyN 4f
alysis involved piecing together jig
saw parts to form regular geometri-
cal patterns. Reshevsky solved one
pattern in 81 seconds, another in 7
seconds, and~failed to solve a third
pattern, just slightly more difficult
than the first, after some 10 min
utes of study.
When 1t came to making a straight
line cut across four separate pat
terms so that the divided pieces
formed a square, Reshevsky scored
about so per cent
What did the memory tests prove
about the child prodigy? That he
possessed uncanny faculties for
mathematical figures but lacked any
extraordinary development of photo
GRAPHIC memory.
Perhaps you never have
aScertained the kind of men,
Ory you have. Try the tests
given Reshovsky at s.
OF course, psychologists say that
after the age of % the power of
memory retention, ability to commit
things to memory, ability to learn is
not as rapid as prior to the age of %.
In fact they say the mind slows up
about per cent year after o.
So your reaction to mental tests
that relate to memory alone should
be less than that of even a normal
child, least of all a chess-playing
prodigy.

Ouimet Gives Links Come
Greatest Impetus Here

Ouimet was rated outclassed. He
had run into a fash-but what un-
known kid had a chance against
Harry Vardon and Ted Ray? 1t
was in this final round that Ouimet
proved not only his golflng skill,
but also his brain
He decided in advance to play
his own game and for the greater
part of the round he never even
took a look at the play of Vardon
and Ray. 1t was the Boston Kid
who was the cool, calm and al
most perfect golfing machine.
Big Ray was the first to crack.
Vardon held on most of the way
down the stretch, but young Oui-
met began to pull away, stroke by
stroke. He showned no sign OF
faltering-no sign of nervous ten
sion as he called on wood, iron
and the putter for his pars and
brides.
With Ray on the ropes, Ouimet
went on to beat Vardon by 3 strokes
with 70 over a rain-soaked course.
And this victory gave golf its great
est single impetus on this side of
the Atlantic.

NEW YORK, July l IN. A. N. AZ.
They are throwing a party, a
25th anniversary party, at Man
chester, Vt, this week end to the
Boston Kid-the kid who turned
golf from an "old mans game"
back to youth.
His name is Francis Ouimet. 1t
was Just Is years ago that Francis
Quimet won his first National
Amateur championship over the
famous Ekwanok course, beating
Jerry Travers in the final round bv
6 and S.
Travers had carried away the
title in 1912 and 1918, but the Oui-
met of 1914 was more than even
Jerry could handle. But it also is
the Ouimet of 1913 that Bart
Arkell and his Manchester mates
are honoring now.
1t was the Ouimet who brought
faith, hope and dreams to thou
sands of caddies, who proved that
any one of them could be an open
champion, could gather in gold and
glory along the road There are
supposed to be over 100000 caddies
in the country today and the
Ouimet influence still carries on.
Swiftest Fame in Golf
Is Won by Ouimet
just a year before this, back in
1918 at Brookline, Boston, young
Ouimet had come to the swiftest
fame any golfer ever knew. An un-
known eX-caddie at the age of 20,
he suddenly found down the stretch
that he had chance to tie Harry
Vardon and Ted Ray, the two star
British professionals, who had set
the pace for the 1913 United States
Open.
This also was Walter Hagen's first
crack at a national crown and
The Haig hung on through the 65th
hole with chance to win. But with
Vardon and Ray conceded the top
place, word went out that young
Ouimet still was in the fight.
Knowing this, galleried by thou
sands, Kid Ouimet in place of
cracking put on extra speed along
the stretch. Francis came to the
final hole with a hard par for
tie.
In the middle of hard rain with
umbrellas surrounding the last

putt, which he tapped into the cup
without a seconds delay. He al
ways has been one of the fastest

Golf History Is Made

So here was 20-year-old Ouimet,
unknown to the far fields of golf,
hooked up with two of the games
greatest professionals in the next
days playoff.
The playof that followed made
golf history. 1t also took golf from
the society page and the financial
page to the sports page. 1t brought
golf from a so-called "old mans
game" to the kids-especially the
caddies.
No one thought that Ouimet had
even the faint ghost of chance in
that round played 26 years ago. He
had been a good kid player with
little tournament experience and
he was up against the the two star
golfers of the world at that point
Vardon was the perfection of con-
trol-but only an average putter.

Three Monkeys Also Steal Limelight at Arm ory
 Performance Wednesday
(NEA Radiophoto)

Three monkeys, two big ones and one small, stole the show at the state armory last night before an audi ence of 3,2O0 delighted children and adults at the zindah Grotto circus.
 The smallest member of Reuben Castang's trio of chimpanzees spent most of his time teasing the other two who none the less solemnly car ried out their routine tricks while the audience roared with laughter.
 The trained dachsund troupe un- der the direction of Fred and Nina Wilfred was another big favorite and won the plaudits of the spec tators time and again as they rolled barrels from a table to the fool down an inclined plane.
 All the acts, which included Bluch the clown, trapeze daredevils, tum- blers, and baseballing elephants were well received. Three more days remain before the circus, the best that Frank Wirth has staged here in years, will come to a close.
 Children from all the schools in the vicinity will attend the per formance in the next two days, To- morrow afternoon children from Rockville. Roosevelt, Sprague, link CT, Walsh, Washington and Wilson schools will flock to the arena, while Saturday morning and equal num- Der of eager children will come from Thomaston, Watertown, Naug- atuck, Cheshire, Prospect, Middle bury and Oakville schools.
 Saturday mornings performance will start promptly at 10 o'clock.
