During the past quarter of a century I have so a good daxl of boxing-competitive and otherwise- | but it is only of cotaparative recent date that this deally means of settling matters has cropped up. In the good old days when men fought in the open air for hours to gether with the bare fiets such a thing us a Knockout blow was unknown, and more than once it has occurred to me that this modern development of the "noble art" is nothing but trickory-a mera shar to avoid punishment from a superior opponent.
