Aii Uii|mrlt;lonubT« Act.The other day in Philadelphia two lightweights sparred six rounds before a large Quaker audience—Leslie Pearce and Billy Payac—and at the conclusion, Pearce having been biffed smartly and failing to operate as successfully on his opponent as he had thought to do, refused ,o shake hands at the windup. For this Pearce was roundly hissed and a Philadelphia paper stamped it a most disgraceful act. Mr. Pearce absolutely got mad and had the hardihood to show it, because he had been hit in the jaw a few times.Concerning this unpardonable breach of ring etiquette a western referee once expressed himself very forcibly to the writer, What would you do,” I asked, if a principal should so far forget himself as to refuse to shake hands at the wind-up?”“1 can’t tell just what T would da but I know what I would like to do.” “And what is that?”Hang him.”
