After a decision of Tom Skarkey Jefferies headed east. There he cut- pointed Bob Armstrong. but was far from his best in doing it. As the fates would have it. however. it was this poor showing that got. him his chance at the heavyivelzht crown. then held by Bob Fltzsim- mons.

Jefferles gave most of the credit for his success to his instructor Tommy Ryan who taught him just about everything he knew. Among the teachings was the "J5-fferies Crouch" which becameone. of the most effective tactics in hoxing.

of two things. First. that a small amount of tension in any part of the right side before the swing is bound to be greatly multiplied during the swing before striking the ball.

Second. that considerable prac- tice with the proper mental and physical processes must be done before you can expect to con- sistciitly do the proper thing when playing.

I fail to see anything perplex- ing about this. False pride or shear laziness may prompt a player to claim confusion over the real cause of his troubles after it has been 'clearly explain- ed and demonstrated.
