Each is trained to fight for certain holds, a grip of the ear or the back of the neck being of very slight importance. The foot is a favourite hold, the throat is, of course, fashionable if they can get it. The white and the brindle sparred and wrestled and gripped and threw each other, fighting grimly, and disdaining to utter a sound.
If he allowed himself to be manoeuvred into an awkward position, only his own skill, or the call of time, could extricate him from it. In a word, at the "Blue Boar" he sparred. At Aldershot he would have to fight. Was he capable of fighting? Then there was another difficulty. How was he to get himself appointed as the Wrykyn light-weight representative?
"No!" "I'll make you." He advanced, fists doubled. They circled around and around on the pavement, each looking for an opening through the other's guard. Suddenly the bigger boy lunged forward and his fist went true to the mark John's nose. They sparred again, now feinting forward, now stepping backward, like two young turkey cocks.

In a moment, headed by Ingleston and Gibbons, they started at the top of their speed, and in less than a quarter of an hour were at bank side.
