Show like Schreck on Is Training Says Ho Doesn't Like, to Box Working Work-ing Out Looks Like Fighter Fight-er He Is. Mlko Schreck, brlght-cycd and tanned from out-of-door work, looked like a man about to step InJ,o tho ring for victory last opening. Accompanied by Billy IIo-gan, IIo-gan, his manngor, Schreck has been tho center of attraction among local light fans during twenty-four hours past. JIo told tho writer something of his methods meth-ods of training last evening, and these, to say tho least, aro novel. "I don't box when I'm working out," he said, "I don't bcllovo In it. I'd rather lot tho g!ocs alono between fights as a rule. Do ou know I figuro It this way boxing all tho time gets a man Into a rut. Ho gets to depend on ono stylo of fighting. And I want to avoid thut. Now, when I'm at tho bag I can do my own planning, and there I've got my own way of doing things and don't caro to borrow from any trainer." Schreck's method of training Is in keeping keep-ing with his manner of fighting He Is tho most surprising man in tho ring, and when ho's looking the awkwardest he's doing somo of his really cleverest work. Ono thing abovo all others Is vouched for this man by such writers as George Slier he fights. Ho fights all tho time. ITo goes into the ring to do It and he does It, Schreck Is now hard at work putting on tho finishing touches for his battlo with George Gardner at the Salt Lake theater April 17. He is an odd contrast with the man whom he is to meet. Blocky. and with big chunks of muscle, this mnn Schreck, who has bested somo of tho best of them, goes in rough-shod, fair fighting, but on seemingly awkward lines. Gardner, long and rangy, shifty and clever, Is also a fighter, a hard, fair fighter, but along an entirely different plnn of action. The dopo books show they're evenly matched, and ns a consequence. It's going to be a hard Job to tell how the odds will go in bolting. But one thing looks certain cer-tain any one will say It when ho sres Schreck the winner of that battlo Is going go-ing to fight for it. All who saw Gardner and Jack Root ko here, and all who remember re-member Gardnor's fight with FItzsimmons know this. But let any ono In Salt Lake who likes the tight gamo tako a look at this heavier edition of Battling Nelson or small edition of Jim Jeffries (ho answers an-swers either description) and they'll be sure that this affair is going to be a lively live-ly one. The men signed articles yesterday and here's good news for those who love tho manly art Wlllard Bean Is to referee. |
