THOSE KNOCK-OUT BLOWS.
They Never Kill a Healthy and Thor
oughly Well Trained Boxing

FITZSIMMONS’ DEADLY FOREARM
Clan Creedon Bdlevea II# May Hat# Used
[ It on Rlordan—How tta# Knock-
! Out Blow I# Landed and Why
[ It Cauj#« Uuoonecloaaness* .
The recent fatal blow administered by
Bob Fitzsimmons to bis sparring partner,
Con Blordan, has revived discussion over
tho knockout blow. Lost year six men
were killed in pugilistic contests In tho
United States, but not one had any stand
ing whatever In the ring. Ono was a col
ored stable boy named Emmet Burke,
who had hardly recovered from an attack
of pneumonia. Tho others were men of
ubout tho somo class, and there does not
seem to bo a 6inglo Instance on record
whero a healthy, well trained pugilist has
boon killed in tho ring In recent years.
Bob Fitzsimmons has knocked out over
100 men since lie came to America, but
Blordan Is tho only man ho over seriously
Injured, and tho blow ho struck Biordau
was, according to his story, a light ono,
given In a mere exhibition bout in a thea
ter. Fitzsimmons, using all tho force nfc
his command, knocked out Jim Hall and
Dan Creedon with a slnglo blow of his
FITZSIMMONS' ALLEGED FOREARM BLOW.
mighty fist in each Instance, but Hall and
Creedon were both nearly ns good as over
in a week. Blordan, however, was a phys
ical wreck owing to overindulgcnco in
drink, and a light blow was sufflolent to
kill him.
All this merely goes to show that box
ing is not a dangerous sport when tho mon
who indulgo in it aro lionlthly and prop
erly trained. If two elevens composed of
untrained men should play a modern gamo
of football, sevoral of them would doubt
less bo killed, but despite tho roughness
of tho play not a singlo henlthly, woll
trained collegian lias been killed on tho
football Held in Amorica In years.
Dan Creedon, who was knocked out by
Fitzsimmons and who naturally does not
love him, declares- that in his belief Fitz
simmons killed Blordan by using what is
culled tho forearm blow, a blow that is
considered foul by nil fair boxers. “That
forearm blow is an old Australian trick,”
Dan Creedon said recently to a St. Louis
reporter. “Iliavoused it in fights on tho
turf, but it is ovon there considered foul,
and a man is cautioned against it. It
should certainly not bo permitted in a
glovo contest, bccauso it gives tho man de
livering it the advantago of striking with
his bared arm. I seo that Fitz says that
tho blow ho struck Con was just a tap
with tho back of bis right hand on tho
jaw, not bard enough to knock bis man
out. Fitz strikos a wohdcrfully hard blow
very easily. It is doubtful if ho can gaugo
tho speed of his delivory so that ho can
tap lightly or lilt hard. You sco, he has
no musolcs except those right over his
shoulders, and it is there ho gets his won
derful driving power. Now, of courso, wo
all know that tho exact blow which knock
ed Blordan out will never bo known. Fitz
simmons might liavo hit Blordan square
ly on tho jaw or ‘forearmed* him on tho
jaw or head without its over being known.
“Fitz’s glove might easily havo gono
over farther than he had intended, with
tho result that ho would havo dealt Bior-
dan a fearful blow with tho back or side
of bis wrist right over tho jaw, a blow
that would knock almost any mon out
Blordan, not being in good condition, of
courso, was unnblo to recover from the
shock. When Fitz knocked mo out, his
glovo passed my head, but his wrist, solid
and hard as a log, caught mo on tho tom-
pic. I was stunned nud would havo gono
out then, but tho bell sounded, and I stag
gered back into my corner. The crowd,
of course, could not see that I was done
for, for so quickly had Fitz delivered tho
foul blow that many thought I had got
out of the way, seeing his gloved fist
shoot past my bead. That btow had done
tho work, and my soconds #>uld not got
me In shape for the second round, and ho
easily put mo out.
“It seemed to me for about a week after
tho fight that tho top of my head was
coming off. No man knocked out by a
punch on tho jaw could have such feel
ings. I havo talked with Jim Hall about
how ho got knocked out and his sensa
tions, and they were about the same as
mine. Fitz undoubtedly whipped his fore
arm into Hall’s head. I beljevo he was
practicing tho forearm blow on Blordan
and unintentionally struck him harder
than he meant to."
Tho knockout blow, that crashing jolt
of tho fist which, coming suddenly against
somo bony section of a fighter’s head,
sends him Into comploto unconsciousness
without damaging the vital functions, is
generally supposed to bo of quite recent
invention, says tho Chicago Tribune.
John L. Sullivan is frequently credited
with tho discovery of the blow, and Colo
nel Monstcry, a renowned teacher of box
ing and athletics in his day, claims to
have invented tho punch and taught it to
the great John L.
Sullivan undoubtedly developed and
perfected the knockout blow and was the
first glovo fighter to put it into practical
usage. Before Sullivan's tlmo the heroes
ef tho ring fought their great battles with
taro knuckles and usually won them by
wearing out the strength of a foo in a
]jng, battering, bloody fight full of falls
and wrestling clinches. John L. was tho
first ono of tho glove fighters, and Corbett
and Fitzsimmons aro the ideals, tho per
fection of tho system which Sullivan
brought into renown. But the knockout
blow, largely accidental and seldom
fought for and indicted as part of a skill
fully planned attack, was known ages
ago. Virgil describes Entellus as knock
ing out Dares by a straight punch on the
cheek bone, and Homer's hero, Kpcow, put
a pugilistic aspirant to sleep at tho funeral
of Achilles by a similar drive. In later
years tbo chronloles of England's prizo
ring tell of numerous suddenly ended
battles Ip which a smash on tho jaw ter-
. urinated' tho encounter. When Jem Mace
was defeated by Tom King, tbo papers of
tho time say that the deed was done by a
straight right full in tho mouth.
There was a great difference, however,
between blows fr*cn tbo bare fist, such as
Macc, King and Sayers gave* and the
glove swings of the present day. Tho old
time pug fought with tho straight arm
and Avoided swings as dangerous to tho
liver. A swing with tho bare fist, landing

and does not Injure the head, whllo tho
fattened glove pormlts free use of tho
widest swings with but little danger.
Again a blow from the fist cuts and bruises
more than it stuns, whilo tho glove,
without-bruising, extends its leverage and
paralyzes the vital faculties. Practically,
tliorefore, the question of tho knockout
blow may be summed up as follows: With
tho glove came the free arm swing, aud
with the swing came tbo knockout blow.
The physiological data of the knockout
are, according to physicians, simple
enough. A shock landing on a thin por
tion of the 6kull is transmitted to tho me
dulla, the center of tho nerve forces, and
temporarily paralyzes thoso forces. A
blow upon tho neck may have tho same
effect, as large nerves, likewise connecting
with the medulla, are therein located.
The point for a knockout blow varies
aecordiog to ttio stylo and ideas of differ
ent flghtors, but all agroo that “the point
of the jaw” is tho place. This favored
spot is cot the exnct tip of tho chin, but
at a placo about ono inch back along the
jawbone. A lino drawn diagonally down
from tho corner of the mouth will Intersect
the territory.
Dr. G. Frank Lydston of Chicago, who
is something of a boxer ns well as a sur
geon, says: “There are several ways of ac
complishing a knockout. A heavy blow
on tho temple, jaw, cheek or noso* if
given with sufficient vigor, will produco
a slight concussion of tbo brain and con
sequent insensibility. Much of tho knock
out is duo, however, to tho forco with
which tho falling man’s head and body
striko the ground. The ideal knockout is
a blow so delivored as immediately to
transmit its force to tbo medulla, where
tho respiratory centers and tho nerves
governing the heart havo, so to speak,
tholr main, offico. A knockout is not so
readily accomplished when tho muscles
aro in a state of tension and tho cervical
vortobwe protected by this rigidity. But
when tho muscles are tukon by surpriso a
light blow will stagger tho medulla, and
tho man is rendored unconscious with but
slight injury.
“Few fighters excepting Bob Fitzsim
mons, who is said to have learned tho fact
and applied it, know that a tremendous
knockout can bo administered by a down
ward blow with tho palm of tho hand
landed on tbo top of tho frontal bone, tho
upper margin of tho forehead. I have
heard of knockouts on tho jugular voin,
but tho jugular has nothing to do with
tho offock Between the jugular and car
otid artory lies tho pnoumogastrio nerve,
which controls tho respiration, dud a
shock there reaobos tho medulla almost as
quickly as one upon tho jaw.”

KILLED A SWAN.—Two countrymen
from Jones county were exhibitiny a dead
swan on the streets yesterday. The swan
was snow white and ono of the most
beautiful of its species. It was killed by
a boy named Gus Barfield, who threw a
rock at It whilo flying about thirty feet
high. There were fourteen swans In the
bunch, but only one was killed. It Is
seldoih that swan is seen in this latitude.
WAS A MISTAKE.—The Telegraph
stated a day or two ago that Col. Lloyd
Moore defended West Dent In Crawford
superior court for the murder of O. P.
Wright. Thl3 was a mistake. Dent was
defended by ..Messrs. Dupont Guerry, M.
G. Bayne and Robley D. Smith, and the
credit for the splendid conduct fo the
case belongs to th$m. Col. Guerry’s
speech Is said to have been one of the
finest ever heard In Crawford county.
DAMAGES AND INJUNCTION.-Mrs.
W. H. McKay et al. as been granted a
temporary Injunction restraining
further prosecution of the grading of the
street In front of her propert yon Fifth
arid Ocmulgeo streets >by the city and the
consolidated Street Railroad Company.
The hearing for permanent Injunction will
come up on December 18. Mrs. McKay
also brings suit against tho city for ¥5,0u0
for damage done her property.
SUPERINTENDENT'S RBPORT.-Su.
perlntendent Abbott of the public schools
has Just finished compiling his monthly
report of the schools. Tho report shows
a total enrollment of the city and county
scnools up to date of 5,370 pupils; white,
3.148, and colored, 2,222. This Is an In
crease of 205 over the same month last
year and Is an Increase In the city and
suburban sohools of 328, but a slight de
crease In tho country schools. This Is
accounted for by the farmers taking their
children from school to help with tho
crops, but now that the crops are about
gathered the country schools are expected
to rapidly Increase. Superintendent Ab
bott Is confident that before the torm
ends the attendance In the city and
country schools will reach near 7,000.

article will say:
Cotton declined 2 to 3 points, but re
covered this and advanced 2 to 3 points,
closing steady with sales of 68,400 bales.
Liverpool declined 1-32 on the spot with
sales of 6,000 bales. Futures fell 2 points
there, closing quiet. New Orleans ad
vanced 2 points, lost this and declined 1
point. Northern spinners during this sea
son have taken, according to the Chroni
cle, 1,085,867 bales, against 667,996 bales for
the same time last year. Total brought

has continued very liberal during tho
past week. Tho rainfall was light and
picking is going on rapidly. The world’s
visible supply Is 4,235,884, against 3,760,724
last year and 3,906,321 In 1891. Spot cot
ton here was dull and unchanged. Port

lost week and 7,532 las year; Memphis,
4,002, against 5,344 this day last week and
4,104 last year. Now Orleans expects re
ceipts on Monday of 13,000 bales, against
21,291 lost Monday and 17.393 last year.
The receipts at Memphis, St. Louis and
Houston aggregated 13,512 and the ship
ments 24,846. The Liverpool news was un
expectedly bullish, although It showed
some decline. Reports from some pails
of the South Indicated a smaller Interior
movement. There were rumors that some
of the ills of Cohoes and Troy, N. Y.,
were finding the times pretty hard, but
nothing definite was reported. The mar

Pay of English Journalists.
A reporter for a country weekly paper
seldom recolves a higher weoklywago than
is paid to a journeyman printer, and fre
quently lie Is expected to assist cither in
tlio counting liouso or in tho caseroom.
The salaries of junior reporters on tho
daily prosB aro not understated when they
are set down ns between £100 and £100.
Tho more experienced men on tho hotter
class provincial dalllos rccolvo from £150
to perhaps £200, whilo tho remuneration
of tho heads of tho staff may ran go from
£250 to £400, very rarely indood reaching
£600, evon when special descrlptivo work
or art and musical criticism is oxpcctod of
them. Tho rate of tho subeditorlnl pay is,
on tho whole, a little higher, but few of
the best mon on tho boat popors are al
lowed as much as £400 or £600 per annum,
whilo the editors who receive £1,000 or
more may bo counted on tho ten fingers.
It is true indeed that many opportuni
ties of an augmentation of incomo present
thomselves. A man of modest ambition,
who is content to settlodown in a country
town, may, by gathering Into his hands
tho local correspondence, make a fair In
como out of penny a liners. Tho supply of
a report of a weekly market, for which
there is something like a universal do-
rnnnd, may yield a little fortune, so long
os tho local pressman can kocp tho service
out of tho rapacious maw of tho London
nows agencies, which appoint tholr own
correspondents and secure customers by
offers of low rates. A man of enterprise
and of energy can, however, easily create
a largo constituency for himself and estab
lish a fairly remunerative connection.
Most of tho meml>ers of tho reporting
staffs of tho daily papers also succeed in
time in obtaining more or less profitable
correspondence and thus add considerably
to their income. This kind of business is,
however, perhaps most fully developed by
tho gallery reporters and lobbyists at
Westminster. Tho right of entry is limited
to tho members of tho London papers and
to such-of tho provincial journals os aro
ablo or willing to maintain a special par
liamentary staff. Tho members of the
parliamentary corps, who are paid by tho
papers they represent at tho modest rate
of 6 or 7 guineas a week while parliament
is in session, possess, therefore, a certain
monopoly of tho service. —Gentleman’s
