B TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MAKCII 24. 1907. 1 7 c A 1 ) J , if J INDIAN SIGN IN PUGILISM Eetraxded m an Important Thin in tin EXPERIENCE THAT KES TNE MM Boxers Onrr Knnrkrd lint geldtim "Tmrn Ahont with n Victory Iltnu- rMom hy Jeffries, rilxlnl nintin and Others na rrnnf. There are mmr f''llTWers nf putHIsm nowadays who have a strnne; belief 1rt what I known fin the "Indlnn i!rn." Tliii friti Implln thnt tin n p'lttM.'t l one" beaten ry an opponent with a knockout he in n"vcr able to rcpuln his 1 t 1nitrla In nnothcr battle with Hip itnme man. There nre a few Instances which ero to disprove thin ntnte. ment, but they nre overhnlrinced br other contest which would seem to Indicate that there In something In the rnvetlr slgYi utter all. It I hut nntur.il to suppose thnt a pu !llt who I sent Into dreamland by a crack on the point of the Jaw must always regard his Conqueror with not only a feel ing of wholesome respect but alao a deep pprehenon that the anme thing may happen again. Having suffered a clean knockout, a pugilist In supposed to enter the ring with an opponent for another en counter looking cautiously for the ame kind of a wallop that did the trick on the previous occasion. It la believed that fear on the part of the receiver of audi a crush ing defeat la part of the foundation for another downfall, coupled with Increased confidence displayed bv hli conqueror. At any rate, the Indian algn has played an Im portant part In many notable ring battles, until It la seldom overlooked in the calcula tions. "When Honey Mellody, the alleged welter weight champion, recently tackled Willie Lewis ring experts predicted a short and decisive buttle, pointing out that Mellody. because he had stopped Lewis In a previous encounter, hod the Tpdlan sign on the New Yorker and could not help repeating. When Lewis was knocked out again In Jig time, therefore, believers in the sign merely nodded their heads and said, "We told you o." It was the same thing over again when Mellody met Joe Thomas In Philadel phia the other night. ' Thomas had knocked Mellody out In eleven rounds last fall, and the prophets said that he could not lose the second mill because of this fact, and while no knockout war scored, the fact re- malned that In a six-round bout Thomas made Mellody look like a novice. Perhaps James J. Jeffries Is the best ex ponent of Indian sign principle. When the big boiler maker Jumped Into the front rank of pugilism and won the championship by knocking out Kobert Yttxslminons In eleven rounds at Coney Island on June (, US. Fllz said that It wea all a fluke. But whin the CornUhnitui tackled Jeff again on July 2G, 190 at 'Frisco, It was the same. okt story, Jeffries put him away In eight round, al though It was a fact that Fits put up one of the most determined fights of his career. Jeffries after this mill said that there was never any doubt as to the result, that he knew he could out punch Fits and that it waa only a question of time before tie reached the vital spot. Jeffries, It will be remembered, indulged In a sensational fight with James J. Corbett at Coney Island on May 11, 1K. Corbett was In superb physical condition and proceeded to outbox Jeffries for twenty-two rounds. Then, be cause of the hoots of the gallery gods who wanted to see Borne slugging, Corbett stood Up and mixed It In the twenty-third round, with the result 'that Jeffries caught him bounding off the ropes and sending In a . solid hook, to the chin, knocked Corbett out ' cold. This waa the Indian sign, which Jeff ' treasured up until be met Corbett again In 'Frisco on August 14, three years later. Corbett knew In his heart how hard Jeffries could punch, so he played the cautious, foxy game for a while with some success, but in the tenth round Jeffries caught him With a body punch and a swing on the Jaw for another clean knockout. Fitsstmmons had the sign on at leant two pugilists, Fetor Maher and Tom Sharkey. The first time Hobert met Maher waa at New Orleans on March 1, US 2. Maher re ceived a terrific lacing and was practically knocked out In twelve rounds. Another match waa made and this time Peter was put to sleep with a couple of punches In the first round, the mill taking place at Lang try, Tex., on February 21, 1SW. When Fits tacked up agalnet Sharkey for the first time In 'Frlsoo on December 2, 1S96, he ham Bkared the sailor all over the ring, knock tog htm down and having him on the verge of a knockout when the referee, Wyatt Earp, suddenly decided that Sharkey had won on a fcul. Fltsslmmons howled rob bery and declared that he could stop fcharkey in another mill in leas time than It taken to tell It. Hut It waa not until August 24. 1900, that another match was made, the mill taking place in Oils city. Sharkey was a punching bag and waa knocked down and out In two rounds. Again the mysteries of the Ird'an sign were shown In the two battles Indulged In by Youns Corbett and Terry McOovetn. It was Oft Thanksgiving day. 1901, that they met Jr the first time at Hartford. Corbett was regarded as a second rater offered up as a sac r nice, while McOovern was her alded as a world beater. But after a fierce slugging match Terry was stopped In the second round In the most Impressive manner. McOovern was heartbroken and go were hie friends. They said that Terry was overconfident and that he had not trained properly. Aa a result McOovern (airly camped on Young Corbett' trail until ha consented to give him another fight. This affair took place at 'Frisco, on May II, 19G& McOovern trained long and faithfully, but when he got Into the ring he waa cler.rly nervous, while Corbett went about his task In a workmanlike manner and In the eleventh round he nailed poor Terry on the point of the Jaw for the fatal count of ten. But not long after this triumph Young Corbett found that the Indian sign had 8H IT TAKES nearly six months for Stort Dcr to go from the kettle to you. It la thud thoroughly matured and agreeable to the moat delicate stomach.

He was on the diwn B"-Pde when Unfiling Nelson J'lted h'm Into a stale .f uti'tr,sclirisness on November , 1!M. tr!ett wont out In the tenth round, but he wan not satisfied, and in the following Febru.irv he tni kled Nel s in again with the Inevitable result, fx. ept that the knockout came a round rarller. Joe Gana. who has ln fighting for years, had the sign on I'M Hawkins, the well known California lightweight. He knocked Hawkins out In two rounds .-n May 25. 19m), and repeated the trick in three rounds the following August. McOovern had Owcnr ardn r on hl staff after he had knecked him out In three rounds on March t, 1!, for he put the Omaha Kid away again In four rounds on April 30, 1901. Joe Walcott. the phenomenal welter, weight who stopped fighters In all the classes above that, handed Dan Oreedon, the Australian middleweight, a punch on the Jaw and sent hlni Into the land f Nod In half a round when they first 'met on April JS, iws). After that they met three times, and while Wnlrott did not get In another finishing bl-w he easily beat the Australian on points In two twenty round affairs and one nf six. Teter Maher l ad Hleve O'Donnell, another Australian, at his mercy. When Maher met this man the first tlmo he stepped In with a terrific right hand swing on the Jaw and O'Donnell tumoled to the floor, apparently lifeless. They met again and O'Donnell was beaten before he rtjl up his hands. Maher knocking him dead In a wallop. AH of these affairs, therefore, serve to Illus trate why ring followers believe there la something In the Indian sign.
