It's a good sign to find some in- stinet in the new featherwelght champion, eavn if hie does smile when denting an enemy jaw. Kaplan tells you his best punch is a left hook to the body. However, how he arrives at this conclusion Is mystifying. The truth is Kaplan hits so fast and so frequently with both hands it is impossible to tell Which is the more effective. T would not call him a great hit- ter, though he did the unexpected and stopped Kramer, an admittedly superior puncher.
