That children should be taught a certain amount of manual training is a very good thing as there are few better ways to teach good physical coordination. However...
...enjoyed on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day one of the best boxing shows witnessed hereabouts in recent years. . . . The initial bout brought together two fast and talented colored boys, Jackson and Lawrence. . . . Addison and Madison, two colored welters, followed and swapped punches through four lively rounds. . . .
