FIGHT COACHES ARE SCARCE
Men with Ability to Train Pugilists
Are Few and Far Between
These Days.
THU3 BUT FEW GOOD BRUISERS
NEW TORK. June 19. How to train,
or rather, how to practice. Is something
tha modern boxer needa to learn. There
are few good coaohea today. Once the
trainers were as famous In their line as
the men they handled. Now there Ls not
one who is noted for his skill in develop
ing latent talent.
There ls no doubt that It la because
of the lack of good coaching that there
are ao few good bitters. Hitting ia an
art that can be developed only by long
practice and tha right kind of practice.
Husre muscles are not required. Control
of the right muscles la the eecret, but
It la a secret that ls seldom stumbled on
by accident. In ninety-nine cases out of
a hundred the aspiring boxer does not
even reallxe that there ls such a secret,
so his chances of acquiring the kntok
can easily be imagined. Even those who
have learned tho art of hitting properly
are seldom - competent to Impart their
knowledge to other when they have a
desire to do so. And, aa a rule, they
aro not anxious to offer advice to a rival.
It takes more brain to b able to im
part knowledge .than it does. to. acquire
It That 1 why ao few retired fighters
make good ooaohea. For Instance, Bob
Fltsslmmona probably knew more about
hitting than any fighter who ever lived,
but ha haa not been' euacitssful aa a
coach, although ha haa often expressed
a deaira to oversee the training of some
ambitions heavyweight. '
As an instructor, however, old Fits haa
bean a. failure. His methods were alto
gether too strenuous for those to whom
ho sought to impart his knowledge. Flu's
Idea ot coaching was to wallop his pro
tege on the Jaw with on of hla choicest
hooks. When the latter wok up he
naturally objected to such a practical
demonstration, and although, convinced
that Fits knew his book, desired no more
lossona from that quarter.
To be a successful coach it Is neceaaary
to understand temperament. Ajid that la
where Fitxslmmona and other former
fighters go wrong. Men Ilk Fltxslm
mniu, who are without nerves, naturally
misunderstand those of different tern
pe.rameut They are prone to look upon
the high-strung- feUow with contempt,
and no progress is made.
Wlllard an Accident.
If there were a few men ot the caliber
of the late BlUy Delaney in the boxing
game today, there would be many mor
good fighter, There I plenty of talent,'
but for the most part It 1 going to wast
for want xf development. Those who do
make good do so mor or lea by acci
dent. Jeas Wlllaxd K. a caa in point
The big Kansan 1 entirely self-taught,
or 'waa until Just prevloua to the fight
that made him champion.
Wlllard really knew very little about
the' finer point of fighting, and prob
ably know very little even yet. That
