Slowe That Were Popular In Prize Rings When Heenan Was Champion. il)enver Posti The knockout blow is not. as many suppose, something that has come down from the first days of the. ring. but a comparatively modern discovery. From the time of James i-‘igg, first champion, down to John l. Sullivan. the dreamland punch was conspicuous by its absence. . ahe‘rules of the London prise ring. whoih stood for almost everything hilt biting, were largely responsible for the. lack of clean, finishing punches. Men generally fought atclose quarterscruel wrestling holds wme popular. and. too. the temper of the crowds worked against anything but fast and furious milling. As a consequence. “hurtful blows“ were sought after-punches that would weaken and cripple. Figg discovered a lot. of these. and almost every cham- pion that followed him contributed one or two terrible blows to the general fund of ring knowledge. This li‘lgg. by the way, must have been a physical wonder. During the good old days of George ll. be was not only the best man with his lists. but had no superior at single-stick. cudgel play and broadswords. Hogarth drew a. great picture of him. a heroic figure challenging anybody to fight for “love money or a bell-yfull." - To give the othecfellow a bellyfnll , ——that was the aim of fighters until the Marquis of Queenshury draw up his famous rules. and John b. came forth with a mighty right and a keen knowl- . edge of the jaw’a weakness. I ' in the old days thirty seconds were allowed a man to come to scratch again, and it his seconds were at all , clever, a minute or so was invariably added to this interval. As a conse» (thence, nearly all famous battles. prior to 1880, ended in one tighter'a ab- solute collapse and sheer inability to raise his hands or move his feet. A favorite “hurtful blow" was a smash square between the eyes. Figg . used it first. Broughton made It a fa- vorite punch. and Tom Cribb and Tom Spring won their championship by em ployment of the blow. As one sport- ing authority wrote in 1842. "a blow the eye-brows contributes greatly to victory, for the part being contused between two hard bodies— . the firstaud the os females—there en- sues a violent echymosis or cxtravasa- tion of blood. which falls down into the eye-lids. and they being of lax tex- tore; incapable of resisting the. influx of blood, swell almost instantaneous- ly, which violent Intnmescence. soon obstructs the sight. The man thus in- deeently treated and artfully hood- winketl. is bent at his adycrsnry‘s dis- cretion." if the fighters of that (is! under- stood this, they are a great deal tnorc intelligent than the modern "pug." Bob Whittaker. a famous fighter. lost a championship by being thus "in- decently treated and artfully hood- winked." "Domino. cried, Hob_ sinner-ring around the. ring, his eyes fast closed. “1 am not beat. bill what signifies when i cannot see my man." John liroughton. “Father of III" Truly English Art of Soif ikicllsv,’ lost his championship on the sunn- blow. Broughton built the rat theater for boxing, and had as his patron that bloody Duke of Cumberland, who turn ed Culloden into a shambles. .lacl. Slack smashed him square between the eye-brows by a lucky punch. and a noble duke. who lost ten thousand guineas on the fight, jeered the blind than as he stumbled around the ring. As an illustrative of what fight fole lowers demanded in those days. and also to show that the gentle art of Joshing was well understood, note this announcement: "At Hroughton's alli- phitheater this day will be a tremen- dous decision of manhood between the celebrated Champions James and Smailwood. As this contest will be rendered. horrible with blood and bruises. all Frcficlnncu are desired to come fortified with a proper amount of Hartshorn." Smallwood, by the way, put Master James to the bad bya blow between the eyes. To show that this punch is still effective, Kefcheil ascribes his de- feat by Papke to a smash betwoen the eyebrows that blinded and dazed him. n Another "hurtful blow" that enoyod much popularity was a swing on tho “burr of the ear." The results of this were also set forth by a scientific gen- tleman or that day, who was of the opinion that it was “as dangerous as any given if it light between the angle of the lower Jaw and the neck because in this part there are two kinds of blood vessels, considerably large, one that brings blood to the head from the heart, while the other carries it im- mediately back. if a man receives a blow on these vessels the blood pro- ceeding from the heart to the head is partly forced back. while the other part is pushed forward vehemently to the head. The vessels are immediate ly overcharged. and the sinuses of the brain are overloaded and compressed. so that the man suffers greatly; and the blood often runs from his mouth. nose and ears." Many a fight was decided with this terrible blow, but its effectiveness was best shown in the terrific battle be- tween Morrissey and Hecnan, October 20. 1858. The first round lasting six. minutes, when Hecnan threw Morriso- ey with great force. showed that the Benicla boy meant to blind his mind. while Morrisscy'plnned his faith to furous smashes at the burr of the ear and heavy body blows.

The meat were led to the scratch by their seconds. and Mor- rissey landed a light left on the body and then swung with all his might on the neck just below the ear. Heenan smashed weakly at space. swung around and fell a limp heap to the oor. With the passing of London prise ring rules the elimination of wrestling chancery holdstsnd arm breaking, a more open style of fighting came into practice. Suiiivsn,,a man with a ter- rific wallop. found that a smash on the point of the pew would win fights with ease and quiclmess. He made the "knockout." famous and popular. Today, however,'we see the ring re- verting to those'old days, when a man was beaten down. not put away clean. This is due to a f‘bit-and-getaaway" style of milling. and also to the fact that. the majority 'of fighters are illy nourished. undeveloped chaps who wouldn't stand a ghost of a show in a saloon rough and tumble. Ketchel is about the onl fighter in the ring to- day with a saepproducing punch in either hand. Hiram—Was your house damaged by th’st cyclone? the-Dunno; I haven't found it yet. —Cieveiand folder.

REYNOLDS MANUFACTURER. STERN CODE OF THE HINDUS. ideal of Truthfulneae Held High and Carefully Praetieed. Absolute self-mastery ia the ideal of a Hindu, writs Swami Abbedanauda in Good Housekeeping. Every man and woman in india struggles hard to ac- complish it by practicing austeritiee, fasting and various kinds of devotional exercises. The householder is not eup- poaed to indulge in the desires of the flesh. He should practice moderation in oatlujndeutlkida. a. Ihonld hold the ideal of simple living and practice it in his daily life. The Hindu men and women are not allowed to drink liquors. and the higher the social rank the more rigorous becomes the law of selfbreatraint. The majority of the Hindus live strictly upon vegetarian diet. and do not eat animal flesh. They do not kill animals for food. and they train their children to practice Sis virtue of non: killing. They do not believe that low- er animals are created to sustain hu- man llfe; but. on the contrary. they hold that in the process of evolution the life of the lower animal is as im- portant as that of the human being. There are many families in lndla whose ideal is to sacrifice everything for the sake of truth, because they be- lieve that the eternal truth cannot be realized by one who is not absolutely truthful. _____.__.——._—————————- Feathers on Hire.
