Boy Fitzsimmons and the Sunday School Prize Scuffle
In a New Zealand Timaru Sunday school, bullymaster Pritchard offers a prize Bible for reciting the catechism. Bob Fitzsimmons, aged around 14, defeats Pritchard in a bout of boxing after being passed over for the top prize. He leaves the class, studies in secret, and later learns to punch the solar plexus, a technique later analyzed by Dr. John H. Gardner.
