Incidentally, the comparatively gentle pastime has been transformed into a serious business. The soldier is taight to use his fists not for fun or mere exercise, | but for the good it will do him in battle. Accordingly, he-fights offen-| sively. The military boxing code does not tolerate the defensive tactics en- couraged by professional rules. There is an interesting reaction now on professional boxing. It seems| destined to yield to the military in- fluence. Pugilistic experts are de- manding a revision of the code.
