Do the boxer of today entirely laok th Ingenuity to diacovef aome new wrinkle, or haa the aport reached that atajte of, development where there la nothing mora to be learned? ' Kid McCoy, with hi myatertoua cork crew wallop, and JFttsslmmnn, with hi deft ahlft for tha aolar plexua. started the ball rolling. In their day every boxer In training for a bout wa auppoaed to e secretly working on aome entirely new method for getting quick - result.

Jack Johnson' systum of Infighting waa a new departure, but th recently defeated btaok cannot be considered aa belonging t the present He learned to fight before th Horton law itui had retired.

However, it la doubtful whether hi trlok of Jumping high in th air when leading can he considered a an asaot Punde . work .tha trick with considerable success, but he would be a better hitter if he remained firmly planted eu th caavaa. None of th other atar of today are original In their method. Cven Mlk Ulbbona, probably the moat scientific boxer now performing, dttea nothing that has not been done by hundred of others.

May I. Back In the aum mer of 1891. a young chap with carmine colored hair and a face sicklied all over with polka dot, wa catching for a base ball team representing Lelghton, Pa..

Leigh ton was, at that time, a beautiful place f t.ooo Inhabitants, but thla young man waa somewhat lost In that community, for tha 1000 residents, til were Dutch ex cept two, an Irish saloonkeeper and hla later, and Hughie Jennings, having con siderable Irish blood coursing' through his system, waa a welcome addition to this very email Irish colony. In tha month of June, a certain base ball fan, in fact, he was a dlreqtor of on cf th clubs' In a small Pennsylvania state league, sent a tip to Jack Chap man of th Louiavlll club of the Ameri can aatoclatlon concerning this young catcher, stating that If h would Sign him, la less! than a month he would prove the equal of tha best player Chapman had on his lineup. Th wis Chapman must have had faith In this unknown fan, for he promptly sent 4100 to young Jennings with order to report at one. Hughie thought it must be a Joke, but on examining th coin he found it real money and he mad up hi mind to go. To make a Jump from a Job like the. one he had to a big league berth was appalling, and Hughie felt aure he would be a failure. However, be bad the 1100 In hla Jean and he Just prayed that they would give him a chance to work it out, which meant, in thoae day , a two weeks' trial, for Hughlo declare that he would never have aet foot on Kentucky soil had not thla money been sent. 1 ' H.

Chapman didn't Just know what to do with this tow-headed busher after ha got him, but he had Invested 1100 in the deal and felt that he must have th youngster earn it It possible, and Hughie was dead willing to work it out Oppor tunity cam tripping hla way, for First B see man Taylor wa injured about that time and Chapman planked the raw re cruit on the Initial sack. It was on June 1 ll. that th now famou manager ct the Detroit Tiger played his flrat game In the major and the contest waa agalnat the Baltimore team. The flrat big league hurler who faced Hughie, or ' whom Hughie faced, waan't very big; a little bit o fa left-hander by the name of Madden waa the pitcher and Louisville made only four hits, th Lelghtoa recruit I getting ona of them. i In the next game Jennings made three safe hits In four times up off the pitch ing of the noted McMahon and ha con tinued to bang th ball right merrily during th balanc of that aeaaon. Th nam of Jennings -was th heaallner in moat of th bog-acor account and hla friem, also the newspaper men, wera worried that his red head would be turned and he would lose his stride by an d through th (bowers of adulation, but Hughlo waa proof against all this and continued to play such ball tbat tha f Mrf ailthtritliM An V . a Kali AnnM.i1.il i ,.

NEW YORK GETTING COCKY Pug Experts Expect Coffey or Reich. Gothamites, to Trim Up Champ Willard. WHITE HOPE TERM IS PASSE NEW YORK, May 8-"Whlte hopes are no longer known by that dubious term, but have become "challengers for the title." During Jack Johnson's regime boxing followers had little sympathy to waste on the vnrious budding hopes. The demand for Johnson's elimination was so great that each candidate for titular hon or waa quickly turned down after his first defeat Thereafter hr. wa made the butt of Jokestere, who never stopped to think that it take year of practice to turn out a perfect fighting machine. How ever, in the future, there will be no rea son for allowing Impatience with the rls Inz crop of rlngsters, from whom the next champion Is to come. This new point of view regarding th heavyweight clues has become Wlllard's victory at Havana. One Instance of it Is the general Interest now belrr shown In Jim Coffey and Al Reich. It la as sumed that Wlllard's title will eventually fall to one of the two New Tbrkers, al though the time of the transfer may be dlstsnt. Coffey n particular Is expected to de velop into a flghttne; man of the first class. This big Trlsh youlh has many strong points while his faults are few and of no great importance. Coffey may never become aa great a ring general ns Fllisimmons, Choynskl and McCoy, but those men learned to flsht when twenty round battles were the thing. 'But today conditions ure . changed. To box ten founds requires less head work and natur ally the preaent set of rlgamen lack something of the polish that distinguished the old line of heavies. Coffey, like the rest of th present set, depends altogether too much on) chance. He has not learned to feint hi opponent Into leaving th desired opening and at the same time keep In position to take full advantage. It was the ability to do thla that made such quick finishers as Fitxslmmona and Gans famous. These men planned for the knockout blow long before trey were ready to deliver it, and when thev were ready their scheme went through 1ko a well rehearsed stage set Thev left nothing to chsnee. If Coffey ever loams to fight with some vital spot, he may beome ns proficient I a any of the old time ling heroes. ' PhyHlrnlly he la a mntch for any man In i ?lnv today, with the exception of Willard Unlike his rival, Al. Retch, he puts a lot of force behind his atrsiaht lefts, si- though he shares with IMech the mis- take of leading before he has trapped Ills opponent into stepping Into the blow. For the rest. Coffey haa a nimble pair of leas, a good eye for distance, plentv of speed, and he recuperates rapidly from fatigue and also when dased by a blow, . TIT' Vr "H " VVlllHN IMllW t TP.HIV 1 - . .
