Notably, Bob Fitzsimmons training advice contains a recipe for a kind of American "Dit Da Jow." Finally, Fox topped off his manual with a section on the then popular boxing-related sport of Bag Punching. Posing for most of the photos in the bag punching section is Boxing Beauty (and co-ed Bag Punching Champion) Belle Gordon. Liberally adorned with 63 photos illustrating technique and ring greats, this manual is a must have of historic Pugilism
