THOSE KNOCK-OUT BLOWS. They Never Kill a Healthy and Thor oughly Well Trained Boxing Bruiser. 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 IP. • solid skull, usually ruin* the band THE MACON TELEGRAPH: STJHDAT MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1894. 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.” Canes and Umbrellas for Xmas.

The Telegraph as received a copy of this calendar and it will be sent all regular customers of the firm, 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. PAUL BOUIIGET ON FOOTBALL. The signal is given and play be- ...us.

All of a sudden he runs to throw the Wall, or else with n move ment of iwlid itvpiddty ho bands it to another, who rushes off with it, and whom it is necessary to Stop. The -brutality with which they seize the 'beforer of the ball is Impossible to imagine without having witnessed it. He Is seised by the middle of the body, by the head, by tlhe legs, by the feet. He rolls over und his assailants with him, and as they fifilbt for the ball and the itiwo sides come to the rescue It becomes oi whole heap of twenty-two bodies tumbling on top of one another like an inextricable knot of serpents with human heads.

New York, Dec. 8.—The Sun's cotton 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 into sight during tho past week, 487,223, against 400,058 for the same tlmo last yean Last week 610,415 bales came Into sight. Total In sight thus far this sea- eon, 5.422,661, against 4,226,738 for the Same time last year. The crop movement 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 receipts, 47,114, against 47,084 this day last week and 44,544 last year. Houston re ceived today 8.720, against 14,489 this day 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 ket here Is heavily Bhort and the bears are nervous.

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 Magazine.
