Creasing of Body To Aid hi
Slipping Out Ot Clinches
Main Offense
By Hal Sheridan.
New Vnrlt, Feb. 10. Nome of the
old (ricks of the ring still are in use
despite the frigid looks of the box
ing public and the new generation of
fighters. Of course, the days when a
boxer could work his u around .to
the wings so some second could slum
him with a board anil put him to sleep,
are past. Hut there are several lead
ing boxers who owe a great deal of
their "cleverness ' to the little mils,
perfectly harmless, probably, bill still
aids.
One of the most common of nil is the
use of grease. A fighter who greases
his body can slip in and out of clinches
about ten times as easy as he could
were his skin not so slippery. Prom
the viewpoint of the average fun lie
nppenrs cleverer and quicker on his
feet.
In Willie lleecher's recent ten round
fiasco with Champion Preddie Welsh
at the (larden, the Kast Side boy was
as slippery ns an eel. lie appeared
u h faster than he really is and he
got away with it in good shape. The
referee could have disqualified him
had he so minded, but so long as Welsh
or his seconds didn't offer objections
Willie slaved gronsed.
Another aged wheeze still in prac
tice ia that of plastering their hair
down with camphor ice. There are
two objects in this: One that it keeps
tho hair from dropping down o.ver their
eyes, and, two, camphor Ice when in
close proximity to the eyes lias a ten
dency to make them blink and water a
little. It isn't harmful, but it cer
tainly ia unnoying. In a clinch when
their heads are close together the
fume nre suro to have some effect.
Many boxers still make use f Stun
ley Kotchcl's old trick. The man-killer
used to rub oil into his pores before
going into the ring. The stuff wasn't
noticeable at first, but when ho began
to perspire he became' the proverbial
"chain of greased lightning," sliding
in and out of clinches wilh uniu.ing
speed.

not available for her own use.
"If the military effect of the Zeppe

Bombs in War
largely will tend to cluing the luce
and aspect of war; perhaps, therefore,
many non-comtiatants nave neeu allien
in tuis war by Zeppelins us compared
with other engines' of warfare'! How
can you tell, for instance, exactly
where shells from mortars and other
artillery will strike! .Por instance,
shells from the new hrupp gun nre
reported-.to have a range (if 42 kilo
meters. "The purpose of Zeppelins is not
against non-coinbutiints but against
military forces, defended cities ami
towns, "arsenals, ships and docks. The
crews of Zeppelins nre exposed to great
er dangers, but they are as humane in
other brunches of the service. 'lhc
have not intention to kill women and
children, nnv more than t'.ie officeri
and gunners' of -artillery, as far as lie:
in their power to avoid.
" There is proof of this the best
proof possible. ' It is in unexplodod
bombs found in English titwns. When
Zeppelins nre discovered and come un
der heavy fire from an enemy, it may
be vital to ascend quickly. So it mu
be necessary to throw off bombs thai
are used as ballast. Then, whenever it
is possible so to do, the explosive con
tacts are disconnected set that the
bombs falling where it is feared then
inny be non-coinbatants, will not ex

"That is probably, what occurred in
tiit" English towns where they say un
exploded bombs were discovered."
"Prom the standpoint of this lutes'
factor in modern warfare," I asked,
"what, in your ii.iinion, should define
a fit v or town or position that it would

The count stroked his chin nnd sat
a moment seemingly lost in thought.
Then he began:
"Tin" rule is similar to that in land
wnrfare. It is based on (wo fundamen
tal, 'Kiwritten laws the law ol human
ity that forbids killing mi'i-comhutants,
whenever uvoilable, and (he law of lie
ces-dty or military exigency.
"A eitv or town occupied by tin1
uiilit.uy or defended only by trenches,
is subject to attack unless it is surreu
derel or evacuated. That such places
me often attacked and badly shot to
pieces you have probably had occasion
tit see for yourself un both fronts ol
the war.
"Therefore, it seems to be rational
that a city or town having military
forces that fire on aircraft and that
mounts guns for (hat purpose, is subject
lo uerial attack the same as if (he
atta-king force were inlantry or ar

In a subsequent interview Count
Zeppelin talked of Ann ricn and Amer

"Lincoln, tall and gaunt, greeted me

Boston, Feb. 10. Leslie Mann, one of the outfielders with tho Braves

than President fiaffney thought he wus worth, and President Gilmore of the
Federal league is reported to have made him a satisfactory offer. Jlnnn is
a hard hitter and a good fielder, but Oaffney says that the rule limiting the
