ritory but the valley is ready to back
up the boast with grImy-toil-harden-
ed fists.
Saturday night in the public bars
the matches are made and all Rhond-
da Valleys male population turns out
iE the dawn of Sunday to battle or
watch in the hills that cup the Val
ley. Every Weekend from New
Years to Christmas and on through
the holidays the program goes on.
This is about how 1t happens:
Bill Williams ambles down to the
pub for his Saturday evenings even
ing after a hard weeks work and
pretty good supper at home. He is
at peace with the world and inclin-
ed to keep it, but only on certain
terms.
Down the bar is Floyd Jenkins.
He is lot like Bill; has worked
hard all week. just tucked in a
satisfactory supper and is peace
able on the same conditions.
Bill surrounds covey of flowing
bowls and gives voice to some
radical opinions on CONSUMPTION or
politics.
Floyd is a radical, too, but just
the other way. OF course he can't
stand by and hear his firmest con
yictions run into the ground, so he
wallops Bill on the nose.
Friends intervene and the bellig-
erents draw on liberal night-caps
before winding their way home.
The same incident has been re
peated in perhaps score of places
Bill doesn't hate Floyd; he pities
him in his wrong convictions and SC
they are going to battle for prin-
ciple.
Sunday morning they meet and
fight to a knockout in the open
no gloves and only the grass for
their mat.
If Bill wins he is undoubtedly
right about CONSUMPTION or what
ever it was he was expounding.
The other logicians settle their
controversies in the same way.
Jimmy Wilde, the knockout fly
weight champion, came from the
Rhondda valley and learned his
fighting UP in the hills. The miners
are proud of Jimmy and back him
to the limit He. in turn has done
his part by siumberizing lot OF
good fighters from flyweights to
feathers.
Yes, Freddie Welsh comes from
Rhondda, too, but the miners only
humble the fact when they mention
it at all.
Freddie is popular in his old home
town with the inverse popularity of
a German butcher.
