I saw the new farnous "catch- weighis" bout between Sandy Fer- guson (210 lbs.) and the first Joe Walcott (146 lbs.) Little Joe, the Barbados demon was only 5 feet 1 inch in height: Sandy was 6 feet. 4 inches. They were both very cagey and canny, neither would iopen up". It was a dull. monot- onous match. Sandy kept Joe at long distance most of the whole fifteen rounds, but I don't remarri- ber of his landing a decent blow on Wslcott, who was very fast and clever-at lent none of those "terrific" punches which the non- pareil broadcaster Don Dunphy spiels" from Madison Square Garden. It must be amusing to old timers to hear of so many "terrific" blowis delivered with no appreciable damage to the recip- lent.

Walcott had one peculiar blow. which I never saw any other box- er even try to use. It was a left ”feint" to the stomach which end- ed up as a short arm hook to the face-s man must. be lightning fast to be able to land it. There is nothing "terrific" about those short JOILB but a succession of them would have a bad effect on an opponent; even a straight left faint and short follow-up glvu an opponent quite a jolt.

I O O

Walcott tried to work his pet manouvre on sandy, but the best he could do was to touch the tip of his noise, which required much wiping and blowing andtreddened very conspicuously. The "demon" had another peculiarity in ring tactics. At opportune moments he would drop his hands, take two or three sldeling steps which had the appearance of his walk- ing away. The momentary drop- ping of hands eased the tension caused by havin-g to hold thorn up to opponents generally much tall- er. lt was a natural move to off- set the disadvantage in height. It looks as if Jersey Joe Walcott got his cogn-omen from similarity of tactics to the original Barbados demon. In the pictures of his fight with Joe Louis he looked like an enlarged replica of the or- iginal Walcott. One who had ever seen the originnl would notice the similarity. lf memory serves right the decision was a draw. At that time there were no judges and "point" system. The referee was "lord of all he surveyed. his right there was none to dispute." It was an unsatisfactory bout. One didn't.

Jack Dempsey ushered in the "kill 'em quick" era of ring tac- tics-after a long period of grad- ual cutting down tactics started by the clever Jim Corbett. Sul- livan won his fights quickly. The champion lightweight, "terrible" Terry McGovern was a veritable whirlwind. His opponents gener- ally lasted less than four rounds. till he met Young Corbett. who beat Terry as quickly as he (Terry) had disposed of his op. ponenta. By the way, Young Cor- bett's real name was Rotliwell. whose father was a. first cousin of our Fraser Morrow. retired dairy inspector, Charlottetown. He was one of an Ontario family who moved to Aspen, Colorado, during the big mining migration to the Western States in the 190's.

Mr. Fraser Morrow came down here to work in the newly estab- lished cheese factories-by the great old country Scotch promoter Professor Robertson. It was the mist big Co-operative for this Province, and perhaps the first in all Canada. it wu a unique ex- periment-a pet project of the great builder, which was eminent- ly successful.

I was told an "inside" story of Young Corbett by Grant Hender- eon, son of Robt. Henderson. the

Corbett. who had had a few local bouts around Aspen, was present at one of the "Terrible Tei-ry'a" champiornhlp battles.and saw. or thought he saw. it weak point in Terry's movements. and declared quite openly that he could beat him. It was consider- ed by ihe "wisenhelrners" in the

art of facial manage. it? be 5” ravings of a diseased mind of an overoptimistic kid. The ambitious kid ”builcled better than he knew". whether or not "Provid- ence wiis his guide."

He proceeded to train faithfully and with intense purpose. He came along very fast. got many matches, won every bout. and within a year his reputation was good enough to rate him a bout for the lightweight championship with the "rerrible :I'ei-ry."

. .

The cockiness and self-assurance of Young Corbett was colossal. lie had the supreme nerve to open Tet-ry's dressing room door as he was passing and holler in an in- suiting. superior tone. "get out here you fake champion and take your trimming." Queer things had been done by fighters to one another to "get their goals". but this seemingly preposterous insult certainly capped the climax. It upset Terry's equanlmity. The conceit and presumption of this comparative pai-venor in the realm of fistians angered him. He was sensitive and easily annoycd. and more so on this particular occas- ion by reason of beinil in 100 "fine" a conditioneover "ripe" (as it were)-similar to Billie Con-n in his second bout with Joe Louis. I used to train quite a lot with Andy Daley of Boston. who was Terry's sparring partner and confidential adviser in the propa- rations for his fight with Corbett. And-y told me quite a few things about Terry's "overfine" condition mentally and physically. He had a troubled sleep on the previous night-halucinations and vain im- agininigs-which interfered with his usual effectiveness in the most important moments.

A trainer, to be rated as good. must be almost a. superman. He must be resourceful, have an in- nate knowledge of human nature -and patience equal to that of Job. Mqst fighters develop a "cranky" complex under the high nervous tension. A good trainer figures out ways and means to provide diversions for his man. such as fishing trips, reading,card playing. or any of the numerous ways of taking hLs pupil's mind off the big event.

. .

Terry was so enraged at Cor- betils yaw-mouthed insult. that he decided to go right after him at the sound of the first gong. Corbett. evaded McGovern's first rush by side-stepping and in the second desperate rush met him coming in with a terrific right counter. Mirabllc! Spectators could scarcely believe their eyes--the-re was the supposed invincible Mc- Govern stretched on the canvas. He managed to boat the "ten and out” count. but couldn't rally from the effect of the right hay- maker delivered by Corbett. The end came in the second or third round. Corbett's secret "hunch" had won him a world champion- ship. It was considered the most unexpected and drastic upset in pugiliatlc history up to that time- not excepting Jim Conbett's vic- tory over Jolyi L. Sullivan.

Jaolc Blackiburn. colored middle- weight, was another extra clever boxer. He became famous as the trainer of the great Joe Louis. Blaolcburn is "over the divide" in age now. He.TlKl.ll'Cd prominently in the time of Sam Langlord. Jack and Mike (Twin) Sullivan, Honey Melody and Joe Walcoit I. I saw Blackburn knock out Wal- cott in a Boston ring in i908.

They were both clever. knew all there was to know about the game in those days-new blows and old. The ending was sudden and un-

xipected in the third round. Blaolcburn "feirrted" Waloott into a straight left lead and was all set to counter with his right. which he did by slipping his head to the left slightly, enough to let the punch go by, and at the same instant bringing his right over and across the extended left arm. There is no ”telegrsphing". The right "cross counter" starts from the position in which the right hand is at the instant, and if timed right it is a devastating blow. it moves only about six in eight inches and has the weight of the deliverer's shoulder behind it

The "cross counter" was so quick and nest in this case that few of the spectators saw it. Many thought it was a fake knockout.

In boxing contests sometimes blows that hurt most are scarce- ly noticed by the spectators. it is a rare occurrence for a boxer to get a good chance to use the counter. but if it is delivered rltht. it is like a 'iboit from the blue."

blows sued sometimes in boxing.' but it's only once in a thousand times they are used. The set-up for them has in be just right. Most every good boxer has some weak point. Even Joe Louis left

didn't hold his left high enough. Earlier in his career it didn't mat.- tor so much, because he was al- ways advancing and giving the punishment. He never gave his opponent time to "get set." . . .

Generally a good ambitious box- er works out a master plan, based on what he knows to be his op- ponent's weakness. if he doesn't know of my particular weakness. he stands pat and does the best he can till he sees an opening. The main thing is to be in good condition--and there's the big "rub". Temperaments and phys- icai characteristics are different) in most humans. Some should have a hard long grind of train- ing; others are nearly always in ”shape" and need only a few workouts to put them at their zenith; prolonged training would make them "aisle."

In the lU0's there was quite Ii famous fighter named George La Blanche (the Marine) who gets credit for introducing the so- called "pivot blow". The most opportune time to use it would be when an opponent would be get- ting tired. He would be feinted into a desperate lead. which would

be side-stepped by the intended receiver. At the same time the llT'lrCl'ldQd reclver would "pivot"

with arm extended and catch his opponent around the ear and neck with the back of his closed fist. It was generally a knockout punch if it landed right, and was soon barred from use in all boxing rings.

The "rabbit" punch is rather .- late development in pugilistiz

it was one delivered with one hand free in clinches. at the base of the cervical veridira (neck bones) thereby jarring the spinal column. It could only be done with the strength of the forea-rrns. but could have a very paralyzing effect. It was soon barred. . . e

The famous "solar plexus" used by Bob Fitzsimrnons to win the championship from Jim Corbett was a new one to the world at that time. I venture Ruby Robert wouldn't have recognized it by that name. but he had all the glory nevertheless. it is rather a complex move and quick back pcdaillng would nullify it, but Corbett had been out-manoeuvr- ing Fitz so much with his clever boxing. that he thought he had a "cinch" and was careless-held Fitz tori cheaply.

it was done by making a feint with the left, then another feinl. with the right, putting the right foot forward at the same instant, then bringing the left forward with the whole power of the body behind it. Corbett was out for nearly I miruuie. He never saw it coming. He thought he was struck by someone outside the ring- thought he was the victim of a plot. The above differs from the version on the famous knockout given by Bill Stern in his book on ring artists called "Ten and Out", but that's the way it was demon- sirated to the writer by some good authority in Boston shortly after it happened.

Jack Twin Sullivan used it on yours truly in Halifax. When we were going into the ring Jack said to me ”Are you there for a good texhibition"."' I said "OK." I did a lot of foolish jumping around for the first four rounds-it was a ten rounder-had about ten or twelve pounds extra weight (214 lbs). Got slowed down after the

evolution. I'm not sure.but I think
