Best Team in Boxing Game
No Longer Hitched Up.
VALUE OF FORM TAUGHT
Dunn Credited With Slapping Out
Most Intelligent System Em
ployed by Any Boxer.
NEW TORK, Nor. 28. Feather
weight Champion Johnny Kilbane and
his manager, Jimmy Dunn, are report
ed to have parted ' company. Kilbane
and Dunn constituted the best team
in the boxing game. Dunn managed
Kilbane into the featherweight title,
but he did more than that. He taught
Kilbane how to tight.
Kilbane always admitted that he
owed his success in the ring to hia
manager's coaching. Dunn teamed
up with Kilbane when the latter was
just a fair sort of boxer, no different
from a hundred others, and made him
a world's champion and one who has
outclassed the other men of his di
vision so far that he has been called
upon to defend hia title in a cham
pionship battle only once since he
won it back in 19X2.
Dunn mapped out for Kilbane the
most intelligent system of practicing
employed by any present-day boxer.
Most of the present-day set of glove
men go through their training stunts
in haphazard fashion. The work they
do is well enough to put them in
good physical condition perhaps, but
they learn but little in the gymna
sium. It is only through the hard
experience of actual fighting in the
ring that they progress at all.
Many Thingra to Be Learned.
There are many things that cannot
be learned during the progress of a
battle in the ring. During a contest
a boxer is working under high ner
vous tension and he has little time or
opportunity to observe cause and ef
fect. One of the most difficult things
a boxer has to learn is the knack of
hitting properly. A very few like
Jack Dempsey are natural hitters and
never need any coaching, but men
like Demp-iey appear only from time
to time.
Perfect timing and the use of the
proper muscles in delivering a blow
are what make it effective. If a
boxer has a good eye and a sense of
distance he soon learns to time prop
erly, but only one boxer in a hundred
uses the right set of muscles in de
livering his blows, and that is why
there are so few great fighters.
Most boxers use the muscles of the
arms in hitting instead of using those
of the back and shoulders. If they
use the latter set of muscles they are
too slow, so they speed up by depend
ing on the arm muscles. Hitting
short, snappy blows with all the
power coming from the shoulders is
what constitutes good form in hitting,
and the number of boxers who have
it today can be counted on the finger
of one hand.
Art of Hitting Perfection.
Bob Fitzsimmons undoubtedly was
the best hitter wno ever sieinwu iuw
a prize ring. Kitz' form in delivering
his blows was perfection itself and
no fighter, past or present, ever ap
proached it. Fitz learned the art of
hitting through pounding an anvil
during his days as a blacksmith.
Swinging the hammer developed his
shoulder and back muscles until they
were abnormal. It also Rave him
perfect control over these muscles, so
that it came natural for him to put
all their power behind his blows.
The quality of the muscles gained
through hard dally labor "is far su
perior to that gained in the gymna
sium. In the old days practically all
the great fighters had developed their
muscles by hard labor before they
took to the gloves. The hammer
swingers in particular, such as black
smiths and coopers, made the best
fighters, as' their occupation devel
oped their hitting muscles. Nowadays
most of the boxers are gymnasium
made athletes and they are a far les
hardy set of men. ' "
Dunn Skillful Trainer.
Although Kilbane did not have the
advantage of a ready-made set of
hitting muscles, he found in Dunn a
coach who understood what consti
lutes good form in hitting. Dunn
devised a method of boxing with his
pupil that featured good form in hit
ting above all else.
Instead of straight boxing Dunn
told Kilbane in advance what blows
to use and then braced himself and
caught them in his big gym gloves
held open. They would figure out a
combination of blows and then Kil
bane would concentrate on putting
every ounce of energy possible into
the delivery. Good form was the
keynote and they would go over the
same movement again and again until
Kilbane was as nearly perfect as pos
sible. By such methods Kilbane got to be
a one-punch knockerout. He needed
but one sure opening to win his bouts.
He does not always make use of this
method of winning because of busi
ness reasons, but ttje power is there,
as lie frequently has shown.
? other than baseball 'writers and Dark
employes as the crowd.

Play No. lr-Man on first, batter
hits a long fly that looks like a sure
hit. Man on first goes past second,
but stops as outfielder makes the
catch. Runner In coming back to
first fails to retouch second and beats
the throw back to first. I know the
runner can be put out at second, but
can he be put out at first without be
ing touched? My contention is that
as long as he reached the base ille
gally that he does not have to be
touched.
Play No. 2 Man coming home from
third. Ball is thrown to catcher, but
it takes a bad hop and gets, away
froVn catcher, but hits umpire's pro
tector. The catcher recovers in time
to catch the runner at the place. The
umpire la standing on foul ground.
Is the man out or safe? R. I. L.
In play No. 1 the only proper way
to retire runner on first is to touch
him while on that base or return
ball to second, the base he missed.
In play No. 2 ball is in play when it
hits the umpire under such a condi
tion and runner at place was out.

Watkins did not get started in the
first game and Ranft piled up a high
lead which the Winged jVI player could
not overcome. Watkins was going
fine in the second round, which he
won, but the "murder ball" of th
national champion was too much for
him. although Watkins played a bet

George Chip of Newcastle, Pa., scored

Burke said a small bone in his chest

Adair and Do n 1 e y Draw.
DES MOINES. Ia., Nov. 28. Barney
Adair of New York, and Mickey Don
ley of Newark, N. J., lightweights,
fought a 12-round draw here tonight
in the opinion of newspapermen.
With Fred Fulton back on Ameri
can soil there is a chance for renewed
action in the heavyweight ranks and
also an opportunity for Fulton to re
open his long-standing mua-siinging
contest with Champion Jack Dempsey.
Fulton, according to a well-informed
person, arrived in New Tork
laden down with grouches rather than
with coin. The giant plasterer from
Minnesota walloped all the second
class heavyweights over there, but
when he started to make speeches
about meeting Joe Beckett they put a
Maxim silencer' on him and away he
sailed for America.
Bia: Fred's first real match may be
against none other than Jess Willard,
former heavyweight champion ol tne
world. Willard has been aching to
try a comeback and Fulton may be
the' man o put him to the test.
In the meanwhile Fred is expected
to pack his duds for San Francisco to
try to line up a couple or lour-rouna
matches and incidentally be within
hailing distance of Jack Dempsey.
The champion is now in Los Angeles
-preparing to engage in some motion
picture work. .
Fulton Is very wrathy when It
comes to talking of the English
fighters who dodged him. Joe Beck
ett, the British title holder, he dis
likes particularly. He accuses him of
everything but larceny and says he
can stop the Londoner in short order.
Matchmaker Frank Kendall of the
Milwaukie boxing commission is look
ing for a high-class middleweight to
oppose Jimmy Darcy in Milwaukie on
December 10.. Kendall came out with
an announcement yesterday that he
was not figuring on using Al Som-
mers with Darcy, but was going to
get an outside battler to meet the
local middleweight. He has several
top-notchers in view With Tommy
Gibbons and Billy Miske headed for
Seattle Kendall might land one of
them.
Matchmaker Jack Grant of the
Portland boxing commission is an
gling for an opponent for Alex Tram
bitas in the main event of the Port
land bill on December 19. So far
Grant has not signed anyone for
Alex. The remainder of the card also
is in the dark.
Al Sommers is going to take no
chances on being caught out of shape
if offered a match. The aggressive
middleweight has commenced train
injr and though he has not agreed to
any bout, is working as earnestly as
though he were preparing to battle
for the championship of the world.
Sommers will have little trouble in
catching on hereabouts, as he has a
ways pleased the fans by his aggres
sive style of milling, and, no matter
what the results of his poutn have
been, any time the fans purchased a
Ticket to see Al Sommers go, they
were rewarded with & real bout.
, Not only has the Sopimers style of
battling been popular with the local
fans, but the promoters should not
overlook the fact that while a ma
jority of the boxers hereabouts were
working in the shipyards. Al was
seeing service over there in actual
combat. Further. Al, though of Ger
man parentage, did not wait to be
drafted, but. like a real American
that he is, volunteered his services
to tne colors. Inasmuch as consider
able has been said regarding the ob
jective of the various commissions
being appointed to assist returned
soldiers, the fans see no reason why
Sommers should not be used on one

Zimmerman since winning his last
few starts is in great demand. He is
wanted by Eugene and Pendleton
matchmakers, while Jack" Grant also
has him signed to meet come good

held here.
Billy Mascot c, who has had his hand
inclosed in a cast ever since his last
appearance here, will have the caet

its lost strength Mascott will engage
in a little bag-punching. It will be
at least three weeks before he can
engage even in a gymnasum bout
with one of hia stable mates.
Joe Gorman will have at leaet two
bouts next month, having about com
pleted arrangements to tackle Louie
Leonard of Seattle and Bert Forbes
of the same city at Pendleton and Eu
gene, around the middle of next
month.
Besides these bouts It may be that
Gorman will be asked to meet Earl
Baird of Seattle here or in the Queen
City. Many matchmakers have tried
o bring Gorman and Baird together
during the past year, but for some
reason have been unsuccessful. Nate
Druxinman of the Seattle Elks club
has angled for the bout many times.
but some hitch or other has kept the
two boys apart.
Those who have seen Baird and
Gorman in bouts with Jimmy Dundee
are of tne opinion that these two boy
wnen lined up will make one of the
best matches ever held on the coast.
