THE PITTStJIiG DISPATCH, SATUEDA, JFEBRTJART 28, 189L 12 i. HQffTOLEABNTOBOX Strong Points on the llanfy Art From Champion Filzsimmons. GOOD ADVICE FOR THE AUATEIK. Eoma of the lliddle-Weisht's Most Effect ive Bloirs Described. FEINTING TUE PRINCIPAL FEATURE WEITIEX TOB THE DISPATCH. In the first place, before I start in to tell Low the difficult points in boxing are made, I want the reader to lnlly understand that a person cannot become a proficient boxer in a day, a week or a month. In fact, to become a first-class boxer reqnires that one sbonld practice continually, taking care not to try end learn too much in a day, bat making sure that one point is thoroughly mastered before aiiotber is attempted. Boxing is, in my opinion, the createst ex ercise for the attainment of physical culture that there is, and in my opinion everyone, be they m -n, woman or child, should learn and practice the art of self-defense. You may not, and probably do not, even wish to become a professional boxer, or even an ex hibition sparrer.but taking all that into con sideration it is well to know how to defend one's self should occasion require it. Even if you are never called upon to exercise your science in peonal defense or in the defense of others the added strength, tbe licalthful feeling and the increased sense of power will more than repay you lor the time spent in the exercise. Of course it will be almost useless for anyone who is not in the least interested in boxing to try to learn the art ol self-defense, and it is as much for the purpose of making people interested in this sport that I have prepared the following course of instructions in sparring. If yon are already interested in the manly art tliis little article, which I have fried to make as comprehensive as possible, may cause yorr interest to increase, and if you sre not interested in the sport, perchance a perusal o. this article may cause an interest to be awakened witnin you. A Tctv Simple Rules. Before I start witn the different points, I want to tell you a few simple rales which may help youcousiderably if you are trying to learn tn spar. In the first place, you should be temperate in all things, and when in front of your op ponent cool and collected. X ever lose your head for an instant. If you have a quick temper, and have a tendency to get angry should a blow be a trifle harder than yon expected, do everything in your power to control yourself, tor a man who loses his temper when he is hit can never make a Kod boxer, as when the temper is up the judgment flies to the winds, and when the judgment is gone a man will rush in bliivl lr, and is consequently at the mercy of his opponent and soon gets the worst of the en counter. Another thing you must observe is to always keep your eyes open and your taoutb shut. It may seem foolish for me to caution you thus, bat I have often noticed good snarrers shut their eyes when they expected a blow or when they rushed in on their man. Now, by shutting the eyes, they would as a matter of course lose sight of" their man, something which should not be done. Suppose yon were to rush in on your man sad involuntarily shut your eyes, he, seeing Ibis, could step out of the way. and instead of rushing up against nim as you expected you wouid dash against the ropes ii you were in a ring, or against the wall if you were sparring in a room, while yonr oppo nent would have you at his mercy as you went by, and could, with a couple of well directed blows, place you at his mercy for the remainder of the bout. As for keeping the mouth closed, that is so that, should you be struck on the chin, the blow will not be liable to affect you much, which, If your raouth was open, a blow on th t chin would rattle your teeth considerably, might break tame, or might cause yon to bite your tongue. Then in boxing a person should breathe entirely through the nose, as it ex pands the lungs better. Some Very Implicit Directions. Xevcr stand on one foot longer than on tie other, lor if you are boxing for any length of time and do this, the leg which dees the most work will become very tired rind weak. Theicforc, keep shifting the weight from one foot to the other, keeping Ihebojy well balanced all the time. Take special care not to keep the arms, when in position, too high, as this is very tirooine. I kept on a line with the elbow, you will find the position an easy cne, and nlso that a blow can be struck or stopped just as quick if the arms arc held in that position as in any other. AVhen sparring with an aaversary, step back from him occa sionally aud drop vour aims to your side. Tt will rest you greatly. Be very careful, Jiowever, that you don't drop your arms be lore you have stepped back, and don't ever Jorget to put them up before going in front 0 vour man again Take care that you do not box violently belore two hotirs a ter eating. It will injure you. Always try to make your opponent think yon are going to hit him in a spot wliere you have no intention ot doing so. This is done by feinting, which shonld be practiced a great deal, as that is one of the great ) oints where the cleverness of a boxer ronies in. If you can make your opponent think you are going to hit him in the Ktomich, while in reality you intend strik ing his head, he will naturjliy be looking out for that stomach blow, and this will leave his head comparatively easy for you to get at If a man equally as strong and clever as yourself knew all the time where you intended striking you would not be able to land your blows ouce in an age, and in consequence you must keep foaling and bluffing him in order to land your blows. The Left Toot to Ko Lifted. Jcver strike the opponent without lifting the le'.t foot slightly from the floor; it will pive you the secret of striking hard and quick". The point of striking from the body is the ball of the right foot, and no man can learn to strike hard and quick unless he springs tlightly dffof same. As a matter of course, the first thing to be learned in boxing is the proper position in which to stand and hold the arms. This, together with the left led shouid, in my opinion, constitute the first lesson in box ing, aud in f.ict, iliis first lesson shonld be practised every day for a long time. This is the hardest lesson in boxing, as yon have to learn to do several things at once, viz.: How to lead with the left hand, also learn the leg work and how to guard at the same time. -Cow for the proper position: You must tiaad with the left foot advanced fully 15 inches in front of the right, the heel ot the left being in a line with the hollow ot the right. Both knees should be slightly bent all the time, so that you may be able to raove forward or step tiack quickbr. You will find that by keeping the knees beat that you will be at!e to get toward your antag onist or away from him much quicker than if you keep them straight and stiff. Never try to stand in Iront of your adversary, as it (hortens your reach. Keep your left side toward him and bring your left arm up from the scam of the pants until the hand is on a Jtiaight line with the elbow. Keep tbe left shoulder slightly raised. You will readily perceive the advantage ot this when your adversary leads at yourhead. Your shoulder b-5ng high, is on a line with vour chin and by lowering your hand quickly, you will re ceive the blow eitlier on the top 01 your head, where it will not do as much damage to you as it will to your opponent's hand. The right arm should be brought up across yonr left breast and the head sbould be held erect. At all times work from the balls of the feet and at no time stiffen the muscles. Let the body go without any strain. Instructions tor Striking. "Whcnstriking or itopmug a blow, fill the lungs and shut off the wind. It will enable vou to strike much harder and with greater lorce, while should you be r.ruck, I it enables you to withstand a much harder blow than you would otherwise, and an ordinary blow will have less effect on you as you are braced against if. Rembember to keep your hands open at all times, until you hit.' Then shut the ban ds and shut off the wind at the same time. It won't take you long to find out the advantage this will give you. A man who keeps his hands shut during half an hour of lively boxing is sure to lose the power of his grip. It is a strain on the muscles of the arms and shoulders to keep the hands closed all the time and has a tendency to weaken a man all over. You can test the advantage of shutting off the wind wheivgiving or receiv ing a blow, by practising on yourself. For instance, shut off your breath and strike yourself .1 good, sharp blow in the stomach, then strike yourself in the same spot when the breath is coming and going, and note the difference in the effect of the blows. After yon have got so that you can break ground (that is, drop your hands, walk two or three paces away and then return and take yoar proper position immediately), you shonld commence the leg movements, ad vancing a step with the left foot followed by the righ Then retire a step with the right foot followed by tbe left. In all cases the feet should be kept the same distance apart. After this advancing and retiring, practice the movement vice versa. "When you can do these things perfectly it is time to begin to try the lelt lead, whether it be with the left or right hand you should spring off the ball of the right foot slightly, lilting your left foot from the ground as you start to lead. This will throw the whole weight of your body with your blow, and will enable you to strike a much harder blow than you would otherwise be able to do. In leading off with your left you should turn the head and body to your right, at the same time guarding yonr face from your opponent's blow by "bringing your right arm up across your face and about two inches in front of it It may take you some time before you will be able to do all these things perfectly, but if you spend the time of seven or even ten lessons in getting the position and left lead down perfectly it will be time well spent Don't 13o Too Anxious. Above all things don't try and advance too fast, but make sure that you can execute one point well before going on with the next one. Then If it is possible lor you to ao so get someone to spar with you who knows a great deal more about boxing than you do. By doing this you will find that you can ad vance much fatter than you would sparring with someone on tjie same level as yourself or inferior iu point of knowledge of boxing. By sparring often with a quick and clever man you will yourself gain quickness, while if you spar repeatedly with a slow moving boxer, vou will without knowing it get slower in your own movements. Look out for this, for a'slow boxer is an abomination. Tbe next point sbould be in my opinion the lead, stop and return. To do this you will take your position in iront of vour adversary and stepping in lead your left at his head. This lead he must stop with the palm of his right hand and then stepping in himself he lets go his left at your head which you must stop in the same manner. Now a great many who are learning to spar, in stopping a blow bring up the arm straight, catching the blow on the back of the hand or forearm. This often hurts the arm and makes one lame. In order to avoid this, when bringing up the right to stop a blow turn tbe forearm about so that the palm of tbe glove is outward. Then the blow will land on the palm of the hand and will not hurt in the least, while you have an additional advantage of being able to throw off his lead in a direction which will often prove advantageous to yourself. Of coarse you must step in with the left foot, followed by the right when leading with tbe left and then immediately after the blow lands step back with the right followed by the Icit. The Insane Desire to Uppercut. 'Now, before I forget it, I want to say something about uppercutting. Some pugi lists seem to have an insane desire to upper cut all the time when they are in a fight. Now this is wrong, and when in a finish contest I claim that a man should never uppercut. Slany a fight has been lost by doing this, as you will miss many uppercuts, and the strain of missing one is much worse on a man and tires him out more than the landing ot three or four would. Of course if you are sure you have got your man it is well enough to uppercut him, but I know a great many of the best pugilists in the world who never think of upper-cutting when they are in a finish fight The above rush must not be done unless you are sure your man is within reach of yon, for if you miss you will be very liable to be at his mercy. Of course, there are dozsn3 of other blows used by sparrers beside those I have already described and some of them I shall tell you about in another story on the tricks of the ring. I will close this article with a de scription of the kidney blow which is very effective. "When your opponent leads with bis left, instead of stopping it, turn it off to your left This will turn your opponent round to his right That will expose his back to you and leaves the kidneys, small of the back or the Sack of his neck open for yon to strike with your right, which can be sent in witb telling effect In this point you will have to lower your left, and when your opponent leads at you your arm will be un der bis and you will find it mnch easier to turn him than you would otherwise.

EIGET WITHOUT OPPOSITION. How Thursday's Canadian Acclamation Election Resulted. Toeosto, Feb. 27. Eight elections for the Dominion Parliament went by accla mation yesterday.

An Order From Court Will Ba Necessary to Eight the Wrong. NEWS NOTES FKOH. THE JDSTICE HILL It was discovered yesterday that no return had been made to conrt of the election for Select and Common Councilman in the Fourth ward, McKeesport "W. T. Miller had been elected to Select Council and "W. H. Simms and John Dunshee to Common Council. No certificates, however, were issued to them by the official Beturning Board, and Captain Thompson yesterday in vestigated the matter. He discovered that the election officers bad failed to make any return whatever to court of the Council manic election in the Fourth ward. As the Returning Board has concluded its work, this will occasion considerable trouble for the gentlemen elected. Their own course is to go into court and have the judges who served on the Returning Board make an order to bring tbe Election Board into court This will probably be done and the board compelled to explain why they failed to make the return. Though it is thought to be only a clerical error, it will entail considerable trouble and expense to have the matter righted. In the meantime the three gentlemen elected can be hindered from tak ing their seats in Councils. The certificates of election for the success ful candidates in McKeesport were issued yesterday by Prothonotary Bradley. In the case of the school directors in the Sixth ward, an error was made, the certificate having been issued to George Long, while his opponent, Mrs. Jennie Lindsay was elected as School Director, having defeated Long by 64 votes. Prothonotary Bradley said that the mistake was a clerical error, and Mrs. Lindsay will get her certificate. NOW JTJDGE KEED. He Took the Oath in the United States Dis trict Court Yesterday. James H.

The cause of nearly one-nair ino aeatns inai occur in tne United States can be traced directly to con sumption or its near allies. Catarrh is its closest ally, and in many cases leads directly to that fatal disease. By Dr. Copeland's treat ment catarrh, whether acute or chronic, is ab solutely cured. In every case tbe results have been eminently successful. This week the fol lowing statement is added: Mr. J. O. Kicely, Deny Station, Pa. Mr. J. O.

My head and nose became stopped up, first one side then the other: could scarcely breathe. The dropping of mucous into my throatwas so bad that I bad to sit up in bed. to sleep. I was subject to oc casional dull, heavy pains over my eyes and nose. Had ringing or roaring noises in my ears. Cougbed in the morning and raised up quantities of mucous. I suffered from sharp shooting pains in the chest, in tbo region of the heart and under shoulder blades. My appetite was poor. I felt distressed and suffered from a nansea at the Stomach. Felt dizzy on suddenly raising myself and my sleep was restless and disturbed. I always felt tired in the morning. "Called at the office of Drs. Copeland and Blair, and after examination, finding their charges so reasonable, I took treatment. Al most immediately my symptoms disaDpeared. Headaches stopped and pains in Chest have ceased. Nose and head became clear, and I ceased coughing nr raising mncons. Slept well and felt refreshed upon arising. 1 feel better in every way since they have treated me than I have felt for years."
