The Truest Test for Gameness is a Terrific Punch on the Nose, Says Pug Impressario N*w York. —"The truest test of gatnenesa and courage ts a terrific punch on the nose," remarks Dan Mor gan the New York Impressario of prlxe fighters. “Nothing can so quick ly take the fight out of a fellow ns a smash on hla sneezing apparatus." "HR a man under the Jaw and tt stuns him—but only for a moment. Hit him along the heltllne and It takes the wind out of him, but he can come back In a minute or two. But send one smashing against a man's noose and he'll think the world has come to an end. “A straight slam on the sneezer will temporarily paralyze a man's fare and seemingly his head. R will send the bloood rushing away froom hiz head and leave him faint. It will make the man think that every bone in his noose Is broken and that not only his nose, hut his entire face is swelling at the rate of an Inch every two seconds. "There Is only one man within my my memory who can take a punch on the nose and not have it affect him. That man ts Knoockout Itrown, and whose ability In that line was the real means of hts coming to the front In the ring, and winning for himself over SIOO,OOO in five years. A number of years ago when I had Just started In the fight game, and was looking around for a few fighters to take under my wing, I happened in a gymnasium where 1 saw a fellow named Brown working out.

He Just shook his head, as though trying to shake away the pain, and kept after hts opponent. Twice after that the big fellow reached Brown’s nose, and each time he car ried every Inch of hts weight tn the punch. But Brown never winced It was a wonderful exhibition of game nest. "After the sparring match waa over I sought out Brown. " ‘Didn't it hurt you when you were hit on the nose?’ I asked. "Brown looked at me tn a sort of scornful way for a moment, and then “ 'Sure tt hurt—hurt like das duyvll. But a feller vat fights he must get hurt and nod say nodding.’ "Right then and there I figured I had found a new man for my string of fighters and I signed up Brown. “Brown was pretty much ot a nov ice when I first got him. He had no defense. That was one of the reasons why so many fellows were able to land on his nose. The first thing I did was to build up his defense. Then I developed his already terrific punch, got some old time fighters to show him a few of the fine points of the game and then I turned him loose. "In less than five years of fighting Brown cleaned up something like $144,000 for both of us. Early in his career he was a whirlwind. He could stand any amount of hammering, and always came back for more. Fighters, knowing what a punch on the nose does, landed a few on the beak of K. O. But they had no effect. K. O.
