GLASGOW: W. COLLINS SONS AND CO. LTD. FOOTNOTES: [1] “In Praise of the Fist,” from _Life and Flowers_, translated by the late Alexander Teixeira de Mattos. [2] _Pugilistica_, by Henry Downs Miles; _Boxers and Their Battles_, by “Thormanby.” [3] See Rule 28, Appendix. [4] Just before this encounter, Lord Lonsdale, President of the Club, had especially urged his hearers not to use the word “Fight” in connection with these proceedings--in view of the fact, no doubt, that a “Prize-Fight” was illegal. Mr. Angle may have forgotten this, or he may have been misreported. The club’s sensitiveness to the use of words is very delicate, and by one of its officials I was once reprimanded at a supper following the Oxford and Cambridge matches for proposing the toast of “The Ring.” [5] This rule is only binding on members of the P.B.A. or persons signing articles to fight under their rules, and was made to meet cases where men finding themselves equally matched should attempt, by standing and looking at one another, as has been sometimes the case, for half an hour at a time, to protract the battle till dark, and thus have an opportunity of making a draw. * * * * * * Transcriber’s note: Obvious printer errors corrected silently.
