Show I'itthtlntJ with Ilaru Kiincklua. You will hear a number of bo called fighters nowadays talking of their ability to light with bare knuckles, but the truth is that but few lighters have the courage to light, with the raw 'tins. It requires great pluck to face a determined lighter and look at tho hard, uncovered knucklus playing carefully in front of you, and ready at the owner's will to be driven Into your face or stomach. Thus men who will ft slit with the greatest determination with even us small as two ounce gloves, will quail wheu brought face to face with a pair of uncovered llsis. No amount of coaching or training will cure them, either. Tho fear of a bare fist seems Innate with some men and they cnu never conquer this fear, although their pluck has never been questioned when engaged In a glove contest, no matter bow wicked. This peculiarity Is noticeable most ly among the Germans, who have a holy horror nf being hit with a naked fist. There have been plucky Germans, who have fought like tigers with gloves, but put them up with nothing on their hands and they are too nervous to do themselves j justice. Globe-Democrat Interview. |
