NEW YOHK, March 13. The race horses
belonging to August Belmont and Harry
Payne Whitney In the case of Trainer A.
J. Joyner at Balaton Lodge, Newmarket,
have been recently discussed by the well
known fcngliali turf critic, Vigilant, In the
London Sportsman as follows:
'Although It was stated when first he
arrived In this country In charge of a
number of American horses the property of
II. P. Whitney and A. Belmont that A. J
Joyner's visit might not extend beyond the
coming season, there are not wanting signs
suggestive of a longer stay. In the first
place he has made considerable improve
titents and additions to the Balaton House
establishment, not the least Important of
which Is the erection of a kitchen equipped
with all the latest appliances and In charge
of a Chinese chef who rejoices In a salary
which would make many a responsible city

perhaps this is the more Important a

Indications which will afford universal sat
tsfaction, for apart from Joyner's own pop

Belmont's Former Trainer
"Kor many years past Mr. Belmont's
horses running over here have been trained
by John Watson at Palace House, notably
the last Two Thousand Guineas winner
Norman 3d, and It is but a few months
since a strong team of yearlings arrived
at the same quartera, all well bred and full
of promise, one of which he has presented
each to Leopold de Rothchild, J. T. Wood
and John Watson by wsy of complimen
tary recognition of past courtesies, Thus 11
happens that he has only four In charge
of his American trainer, while Mr. Whit
ney Is responsible for twenty-seven. Among
them are some sntart performers on the
other side of the Atlantis, but it Is easy
to overrate them. In spite of their good
looks, and It may be doubted If there la a
real top sawyer among th 3-year-olds and
upward, happen what may aa regards to
the 2-year-olds, which number In all seven
teen. It Is. I understand, the custom In
America to take up yearlings much earlier
than on our side, the fact being that they
quit the paddock for the training stable
early In the summer that la to say, at
the beginning of July, and ar fit to try
by October. It may- be taken for granted,
therefore, that the Juveniles which accom
panied, -the team were satisfactorily put
through the mill before leaving their native
country, and It is, moreover, significant
that they have been nominated for the best
2-year-old races available.
Joyner's Fine Iterord.
"Joyner's record last year was highly
flattering, since 1 turned out no fewer
than s ninety-five winners, Including fifty

Belmont and twenty-two for himself, bul

said the old New York sport as he dis
cussed recent ring events the other night.
"It hasn't been much of a surprise to me.
however, for I consider that the Ameri
can school of boxing In the last twenty
five years haa greatly deteriorated In
stead of being advanced. Our old-time
boxers knew how to punch straight wltn
both hands and didn't go In with wild
swings, wide open, like Terry McOov
ern In his blng-bang style. It was John
I.. Sullivan, never a really clever boxer,
who adopted thla wild swinging, and since
then nearly every pugilist on this side of
the Atlantic has been doing the same
thing, forgetting the old straight punches.
"Sullivan won because he was wonder
fully strong. Smashing In. he broke his
opponent's guard down, walloped him on
the Jaw with his right and put lilni out.
But when Sullivan met Corbett he was
up against a clever fellow and wasn't
able to hit nimble Jim one effective blow
in the twenty-one rounds they fought.
When McGovcrn met young Corbett the
first time nt Hsrtford. the letter Just
waited for on of Terry's mad rushes
and. nailing him on the Jaw, sent hlin
down and out. Many of McGovern s fol
lowers thought thai it was an accidental
trluw, so the boys met again and young
Corbett repeated these tactlca with the
same result.
"What was Sullivan able to do with
Charley Mitchell when he had him In the
ring at Chantilly, France, for more than
three hours? Nothing. Mitchell was too
clever for a wild swinger like Sullivan
and simply avoided the big fellow until
the latter was so tired that he was will
ing to agree to a draw.
. Drlscoll Miuply Jab.
"You didn't see Jem Drlscoll do any
wild swinging when he met. Attell, Cross,
Mai to, Baldwin or any of the others,
did you? No, not much. The Welshman
simply jabbed them all sick with his
clever straight left He fought exa.'tly
like the old American pugilists I saw a
generation ago like Joe Coburn, Jim
Dunne, Mike Donovan. Bob Farrell, Billy
Madden and many others. Dunne. Don
ovan, Farrell and Madden are alive to
day. Ask them about the scientific boxers
of old. .lack Dempsey and Jack Mc
Aullffe. of more recent date, knew how
to lead straight. I met McAullffe at the
National Athletic club the other evening
watching a couple of young swingers
beating the air with their gloved fists.
"'They're a couple of willing boys, eh V
I said to the former lightweight cham
pion. " 'Yes. very willing."- replied McAullffe,
'but rotten. It's a pity, old sport, that
somebody doesn't teach the young ooxers
of today how to spar. Why. If either of
those boys came at me with wild swtngs,
wide open. In my day I'd have knocked
his block off. There they go. round after
round. In the same ding-dong way. You
remember poor Dempsey, of course? lie
was an artist. No man ever led to him
twice In the same manner without a re
turn, and he never fought one round hke
'another. Sometimes he was aggressive,
and then again he would play 'possum
on the defensive. Dempsey waa a straight
puncher and his blow landed where he
aimed them."
Snrprlse for (ienrge Dixon.
"In 1R91 the great little fighter. George
Dixon, was pitted against Billy Pllmmer
for four rounds In Madison Square gar
den. The bout was for scientific points.
Plimmer was only a bantam at the time,
wlille Dixon was the featherweight cham
pion, and consequently had about right
or ten pounds the better of the weights.
But the wsy Plimmer caught Dixon on
the nose every time George rushed In
with swings surprised the big crowd. It
was simply another case of a straight,
clear puncher against a wild swinger.
Charley MitcheH taught Mike Clear the
same lesson when they met at the Amer
ican Institute building her In 1084.
Cleary wsa a follower of Sullivan and
belonged to the same school of fighting.
But Cleary could hardly put a glove on
Mitchell, for the latter got a wireless every
time Mike started one of hia awlngs and
Immediately sidestepped it. Cleary was
as much surprised at Mitchell's phantom
footwork and straight Jabg aa Leach Cross
was . when Drlscoll made the East Sider
look like a green amateur at the Fairmont
club.
"Of course we've had a lot of clever fel
lowa like Jim Corbett, McCoy, Ryan and
Choynskl, but they were not really out and
out swingers. They all had clever special-
tit's of their own. Corbett' left alwaya did
the best straight work. McCoy's famoua
corkscrew punch was as straight as an ar
row, with a alight twist just before It
landed. Ryan and Choynskl had a mixture
of jabs and swings, but they would have
been far better boxers if they had stuck to
straight left-handed blows.
Jesu Mace's Manner.
"Old Jein Mace was the real master in
the art of boxing. Hia style was simply
perfect, and ail those Kngllsh lads who
have been boxing here lately have adopted
hia tactics. Along In the '70s Mace went to
Australia and taught Larry Foley and
other young fellows how to hit, atop and
get away. His teachings developed a lot
of clover fellows who Invaded America
twenty years ago and proceeded to waits
through our fighters with ease. As soon us
I s.iw Youni? Griffo box I immediately j
recognised Mace's style, although 1 don't
believe Orlffo ever saw the veteran Eng-
lisli pufrilist. But It waa Larry Foley who I
taught Griffo. and Foley got it all from
Mace. There was Jem Hall, the cleverest j
big man I've ever nwn since Mace was
in uctive service. Why, whenever Hall i
boxed an exhibition with Choynskl he shot I
out his left to Joe's Jaw so cleverly that '
the Californlan was often daied and Hall
had to hold lini up In clinches until he got
his head clear. Still Choynskl got the credit
of beating Hail t M.ispftli when they
were supposed to fight for keeps. This
was Hall's game, never In win a fight when
he could make more by louing one. Hall In
hia prime could have outpointed Corbelt
or McCoy, and that'a saying great deal.
I really believe Hall could have won from
Fitxklminona at New Orleans in 1W if Jem
of straight hitting. That wsa the proper
caper In this country before the wild swing
ers got going.
"After Peter Jackson h id met Jim Cor
bett In a sixty-one round 'no contest." as it
was railed by Hiram Cooke, the leferee. 1
asked Jackson if he didn't consider Cor
bett the quickest man he had ever faced
In th ring. It was a hard thing to get
Peter to talk fight, but after hesitating a
few minutes, he said:
"'Corbett Is . very fast, but I don't see
why he Jumped back two or three feet to
avoid a blow when a few Inches answer the
same purpose.'
"Some of this fancy up-to-date footwork
is all very fine, but It's very tiring also.
Mace was a Wonderful man with his head
and could duck a blow beautifully. The
fellow with shifty head can often sav
his feet, for If he Jumps back he must
come forward again, all of which means
more or less labor. A duck or a shift of
the head not only avoids the blow, but
leaves you In a position lo deliver a return

"I remember that Mace used to tie lis
hands behind his back and allow any one
to try to hit his face or head. The way he
could spin his old nut around was simply
phenomenal. 1 would like to see some of
the modern fighters try -his little trick.
Why, it Is almost a lost art nowadays, and
yet the old-timers had it down lo a science.
It was quite a scheme In those days for
a man to twiat Ids head so that his rival
would Wt the thick part nf the skull and
thus break the knuckles or sprain a wrist.
Mitchell worked this trick on Sullivan in
the fifth round of their battle In France,
and John broke his right elbow on the
Knglishman's block. That was one of the
reasons Sullivan agreed to a draw, for he
suffered much pain, and his great knocker
out was practically useless during the other
thirty-four rounds. Mitchell had learned
tlnis wrinkle from Mace.
"John Bull is having a great laugh at our
expense Just now. but It's only short
time when the American boys will get wise
and wallop the Drlscolls, Welshes. Morans.
Willies, Bowkers and the whole British
shooting match. But they must first learn
the art of straight punching and gel shifty
with the head as well as with the feet.
Go over to Brooklyn, boys, and get a few
points from McAullffe! He knows both
the old -and new game of boxing.
"lt'a strange about these international
fistic affairs. John C. lleenan, George
Lavlgne, Jack O'Brien. George Dixon.
Tommy Burns, Kid McCoy, Jack Johnson
and other Americans have crossed the big
pond and walloped Kngllsh champions,
while now the Britons are turning the
lauies on us in the lighter classes. But
let it be remembered that no finely bred
Briton of the top (lass haa ever lowered
our colors. In fact, all of the British cliatn-
piona are of Irish blood, such, as Mitchell,
Carney, the two Drlscolls, Moran, Welsh
and other. It is probably a good lesson
in straight punching when our boys are
trimmed once in a while. It teaches them
a whole lot In the way of experience. If
we won all the time wed get too swelled
up.
Brlrisbrra Behave Better.
"There's another point in favor of Kng
llsh and Australian fighters. They don't
live as fast as our boys. As soon as an
American becomes a champion or even a
near champion tie butts Into swift society,
lilts the grape Juice and paints the town.
Do you remember our Utile friend from
Denver, Young Corbett, after he extin
guished McGovern, when lie landed on the
Great White Way and turned night Into
duy? He was a fine specimen of the gay
and festive American champion., Dressed
like a millionaire's son, lie cut a dashing
figure for a while, but he suddenly woke
up one evening snd found himself a de
feated has-been and btoke. HI dream was
soon over and lies been trying hard re
cently to regain Ids lost laurels. It s a
hard battle. Did you ever see any of
them come hack to the first cabin again?
I never did. No! The English or Aus
tralian pug generally keeps in his own
class by enjoying a more simple mode of
living. You can bet that Jim Driscoll
won't blow his American dollars around
the Tenderloin of London. He ll soak it
away for a rainy day, like many other
Kngllsh scrappers have done. Mitchell
took care of the money he made on this
side of the ocean and now lives on F.asy
street. Billy Plimmer put his coin In a
Birmingham 'pub' and is In comfortable
circumstances. Tug Wilson Is the owner
of a shoe shop in Leicester, England,
which was established with the Yankee
gold he won In the memorable four-round
bout with Sullivan In the Garden. What
doea the average American fighter do
after winning 110.000? Hit dear old Broad
way and blow hla head off with alleged
friends!"

During the warm Summer months Catarrh sufferers are nol
troubled with the effects of the disease, as In Winter. This is true be
cause in the heated season every pore and outlet of the skin is
open, and a constant, copious evaporation carries off with it a large
percentage of the impurities and poisons which produce Catarrh. But
at the first sign of cooler weather the sufferer's comfort ends ; the sk.in
does not secrete as freely, a congested condition of the system takes
place, and soon every
miserable symptom of
Catarrh is harassing
and causing discomfort
to the unfortunate
ones.
Catarrh is a deep
seated blood disease,
one which no amount of
local treatment will ev
er reach and perma
nently cure. The ben
eficial effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, lo
tions, etc., are only
temporary, and when
left off the old condi
tion returns because
the blood is infected
with catarrhal matter
and impurities. This
inflames and irritates
the mucous membrane
and tissues and pro
duces the symptoms of
ringing noises in the
head and ears, mucus
in the throat, head
aches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore
throat, general impair
ment of the health, etc.
To cure Catarrh
permanently the blood
must be purified, ' and
the system cleansed of
all morbid matters, and
at the same time strengthened and built up. Nothing equals S. S. S.
for this purpose. It attacks the disease at its head, goes down to the
very bottom of the trouble in the blood, and makes a permanent and
lasting cure. S. S. S. removes every particle of the catarrhal matter
from the circulation, making this vital fluid pure, fresh and healthy.
Then the inflamed membranes begin to heal, because they are nourished
with pure, health-giving blood, the head is cleared, mucus stops
dropping back into the throat, every symptom disappears, the constitu
tion is built up and health restored. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood
Burifiers and cures Catarrh by driving out the cause from the system,
ieing made entirely of healthful vegetable ingredients S. S. S. does
not contain any habit forming drugs, which really do not cure Catarrh
but often ruin the health ; nor will S. S. S. injure the most delicate sys
tems. Book on Catarrh and any medical advice free to all who write.
