He was a heavy, muscular youth with curling black hair and comely features, albeit somewhat marked by wilfulness and self-indulgence. Back in the world outside he had made a brief essay in the prize-ring, not without some success. He had been driven out, however, by an epithet spontaneously applied by the fraternity: "Crying Joe Hagland." The trouble was, he could not control his emotions.
What's it about?" "Best story of the London prize-ring ever written. You're Mr. Harrigan, aren't you?" "Yes," diffidently. "My name is Edward Courtlandt. If I am not mistaken, you were a great friend of my father's." "Are you Dick Courtlandt's boy?" "I am." "Well, say!" Harrigan held out his hand and was gratified to encounter a man's grasp. "So you're Edward Courtlandt?
Penway. Robert Dwight Penway's attitude toward his contemporaries in art bore a striking resemblance to Steve's estimate of his successors in the middle-weight department of the American prize-ring. Surprisingly to those who knew him, Mr. Penway was as good as his word. Certainly Kirk's terms had been extremely generous; but he had thrown away many a contract of equal value in his palmy days.
Many yet will remember how its smoke went up. The summer summer of 1860 grew fervent. Its breath became hot and dry. All observation all thought turned upon the fierce campaign. Discussion dropped as to whether Heenan would ever get that champion's belt, which even the little rector believed he had fairly won in the international prize-ring.
He was just dimly aware of some turn in the conversation, when he heard Jim exclaim: "By Jove, Sis, Bob asks you to marry him!" In prize-ring parlance, Jimmy had "feinted" his opponent into a lead, then taken prompt advantage to "counter." Lorelei awoke to her surroundings with a start, sensing the sudden gravity that had fallen upon her three companions. "What ?"
The brutal Berks died greatly in the breach of Badajos. The lives of these men stood for something, and that was just the one supreme thing which the times called for an unflinching endurance which could bear up against a world in arms. Look at Jem Belcher beautiful, heroic Jem, a manlier Byron but there, this is not an essay on the old prize-ring, and one man's lore is another man's bore.
Perhaps if I had had a clean linen shirt on, with studs down the front, I might have been more tractable in the matter of peeling. It had by this time gradually dawned on me that I was in for a fight, and that there was no getting out of it. My adversary was bigger than I was, and evidently far more at home with the customs of the prize-ring. I would fain have escaped, but what could I do?
The times have changed, and you haven't had the common-sense or the courage or the business shrewdness to change with them. I say Gordon will be the next governor." Again there was a strained silence like that which follows the hand-shake in the prize-ring when the two antagonists have drawn apart and are warily watching each for his opening.
But the structure they destroyed, and when they came upon a coloured man in the neighbourhood they hanged him to the nearest tree or lamp-post. During the riot the draft-rioters made their headquarters at the Willow Tree Inn, which stood near the south-east corner of Fifth Avenue and Forty-fourth Street, and which at one time was run by Tom Hyer, of prize-ring fame.
As slang blends in one direction with genuine poetry, in another it sinks into the base jargon invented by evil-doers for the disguise of their intercourse and concealment of their purposes. Of the latter description are the dialects of the prize-ring and the fraternity of thieves. These are rich and copious, and often ingenious, like the other devices of their originators.
