part. It is superior skill which counts. The boxors finish with- out a scratch. There are none of those bloody scenes which distinguish victories in the West.

Chinose boxing favory- scientific. It necessitates pro- found study of the anatomy to find vital and vulnerable spots, for, after all, in case of self- defence, General Ma claims that Chinese boxing, would be more effective than foreign becauso of its greater skill. Feet and arms can be used, any part of the body may be the target, but s stipulation le mado boforo the contest. It may be varied with use of swords, and then, to a foreign spectator, it seeme a mixture of fenging and Highland fling. General Ma con- tinued:

"I have tried your foreign boxing and I found. It too inhuman. Many of your or ganized gamos are useful, but I claim that Chinese boxing is batter. It contains everything for acquiring bodily and mental fitness, agility, qulekners of decision, an active mind, re- sourcefulness, in short, overg- thing for producing a good type of man, and woman, because, as it is a rofinod game, women can. also profitably play it.

In all your western athletics too much attention is paid to exorcising limbs, and not the brain,

You develop anormous. running powers, and alm at covering distances like machines. That doosn't nood brain. You need only long logs and a sound wind. What education is thoro In that? It's no uso, training a nation of race horses. Why, all ricksha coolfes are good runners," but who wants a nation of men: with ricksha coolie mentality ?" | That is Goneral Ma's argument for Chinoso boxing. He is 55 years of age, and in his drawing- room he demonstrated many poses and positions, and skipped about like a college graduate, despite his years. He has played the game for years, and in his retirement he has trained thou- sands of students. After sovorni Fears' difficult advocacy, he soos his system, a standardisation of aevoral systems, slowly being | being adopted in schools through-
