Just an Earful
By Tad
Remember Jabber Carey?
Yc. yes. the big guy. Yes, he fought around here four five years ago. ?
wis the Kred McKay of bis time. In fact he waa so good that some declared htm
to be even better than Steve Frodle atthe flopping Muff.
Jabber was boxing up at the Olympic club one night and wen along nicely
for three rounds, lie had the other fcl
low pretty well tinder control. peppcrliiR
htm with rights and lefts until It looked
as thouKli the referee would stop It at
any moment.
The bell rang, however, and the beaten
guy irrahlied a rest. When ho came up
again he was as strong as a bull. Ho
backed the Jabber all over the ring.
Carey took it for a mlnuto and then
started .tapping the floor with his right
foot, which was well In the rear, i:cry
time, he atepred back he got a belt on
the Jaw, hut the foot kept tapping all
the time.
Tl'e crowd howled with delight to see
the under dog turn tables. Carey took
his beatintf like a gent until he hacked
into the corner of his opponent. Ho
tapped his toe agnln and suddenly took
a. dive, the speed and accuracy of which
has never been equalled In these parts.
He was counted out and carried away
On the way out Charley Harvey, x
anxious to know the secret of the tapping foot, asked one of Carey's seconds.
"What s the Idea of that foot stuff of, the Jabber's?-'
"Feellnff for the soft spots." piped tha snrond as he slammed a. wet sponge on
the beaten warrior's battered face.
