This book review sounds interesting:
"...There also was a wonderful man named George A. Barton....
When is the last time you heard of a boxer making money by demonstrating his skill at punching the speed bag? Barton did.it. Barton explains in his book My Lifetime in Sports "I (He) mastered every conceivable trick of punching ........two, three, four and five bags simultaneously......which brought me considerable income. I gave exhibitions at variety theaters (actually beer halls) in St. Paul and Minneapolis, county fairs, street carnivals, lodge smokers and other places.
