But even the English boy's straight left, plus his natural love of a fight, is not nearly enough to carry him to the top. What happens to him?
American Conditions.
If I describe the conditions in America the point will be plain. In New York there is a club called the New York Athletic Club-one of many, but the biggest of them. all. It has a gymnasium which occupies the whole floor of a city block, and it cost a million dollars to equip.
In that gymnasium are numerous rings, developers, rowing machines, a dozen hand-ball courts, a swim ming pool-every device for pro- moting the health and fitness of

This was not surprising, for Clause 27 in the remarkable docu- 22.ment which was officially described as the "Cricket Contract," and was signed by all the Australians, reads as follows: "Each and every player hereby specifically undertakes and agrees with the Board of Control that he will not return to England within two years from the comple- tion of the official tour for the pur- poses of playing cricket" - Many Australian newspapers this week, however, have said definitely that offers were made, the idea, accord- Zing to them, being that those Australians who accepted should play for Lancashire League clubs until such time as they were qualled Allern and Hamilton draw the join the New York Athletic Club. fied for the county.

In America I have my training camp out in the country, with an outdoor ring. Many other boxers are equipped in this way.. And those who have yet to make the money to afford it can go to one of the big clubs.
Bitter Experience. Your boys have many things in their favour. But they are forced to enter the ring as professionals without having had a proper grounding. There are Ao many things to learn-footwork, stance, swaying, all the blows" and all the counter-blows: is it not obvious that the young professional equip ped with the knowledge of self- defence has a tremendous advantage over the boy who has to learn these things by bitter experience against hardened men?
The very fact that so many, like Jimmy Wilde, Kid Lewis and Teddy Baldock, have survived this handi-
cap and forced their way to the top shows the ingrained talent among your boys. But sheer boxing in- stinct is very rare.
