SAVAGE AND HIS SHIELD
Writer Explains Why Men Sutton
Their Clothing With the Right
Hand.

A popular writer who r. particularly
fond Ct giving his readers diluted SCI
ence. in sugared pellets, says that men
button their clothing with the right
hand because their prehistoric ances-
tors used to carry shields on their le1t
arms. To quote his own words:
primitive man had q shield on his
left arm to protect the heart side from
attack. That left his right hand free
to do the buttoning."
This is interesting and highly imag-
NATIVE, but is 1t true? Did primitive
man wear shirts and collars, vests and
coats, that buttoned mp at all? AND
did he know that his heart was more
important to guard than his lungs or
his liver? Is there any real evidence
that he was concerned about the rela-
tive value OF his internal organs, when
he fashioned his shield? Did he carry
his shield on his left arm to protect
his heart or was 1t to leave his right
arm, apparently always the stronger,
in the majority Of individuals, free to
WELD q sword or spear, or stone
hammer or knobbed war club, farther
back toward the beginning OF mans
long story on this battered old planet?
Beyond question, he wanted his
most efficient hand and arm free to
use his weapons, but is 1t certain or
even probable that he had a strong
preference for being stabbed In the
right side. If he must needs be pune
tured at all? Surely the weapon or
attack always dominated the means Of
defense. The knife counted more
than the shield. The spear controlled
the use of hands and arms more than
any buckler ever did.
Buttons are placed for the convent
ence Of the right hand not because the
left hand was kept busy, carrying
shield, In the childhood of the human
race, but because the right hand was
usually the stronger apd more skillful
then, just as 1t Is now.

GHSCRAPPER
Norfolk Negro, One of the
Hardest Men in Ring to
Plant in Dreamland.

New York. March s.-The Buffalo
promoters are planning another big
heavyweigh match to be held in that
city this month. The men who are
to battle for the members OF the
Queens berry A C. are Jack Demp-
sey and Kid Norfolk, the negro boxer,
who obtained a referees decision over
Bill Miske several months ago. Al
though this match is sure to attract a
great deal Of attention, the promoters
do not anticipate interference from
the authorities. So far, Gov. Whitman
has paid no attention to the fights
held in Buffalo. but local promoters
believe that he VIII be forced to take
action this time.
If the governor does not see fit to
interfere, the battle should result in
another big boost for Dempsey. Judg-
ing from what was seen of Norfolk
when he made his appearance in this
city, he will De easy for Dempsey.
Norfolk lost great deal Of prestige
when he was flattened in two rounds
by sam Langford in a bout at Denver.
Still the fact that he has beaten Miske
cannot be overlooked, and IL Demp-
sey downs him before the limit the
newcomer will pass the St Paul crack
IN the race for the chance to meet
Jess willard.
There are now three live contend
ers for the title-Fred Fulton, Jack
Dempsey and Billy NIiske. ANY one
of these three may be the lucky man
to face Jess Willard early in the
summer.
1t has been a long time since three
such competent heavyWeights held
the big center OF the stage at once
of all the big fellows that have come
and gone since johnson defeated JEFF
fries at Reno. Jess willard was the
only one to rank with the present
trio

in the ring and was defeated after q
memorable battle. In 1907 Gully be-
came champion by whipping Boil

After that Gully retired from the

which, proving very valuable, made
him q millionaire. He then bought

FTTZSDIMONS-HAL BATTLE.
Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Jim
Hall in the fourth round at New Or
leans on March s, 1893. just Is years
ago today. This bout demonstrated
how much better hindsight is than
foresight. Although Hall was a
Grassy 4uAuQleWel5lLs 4ODOQE now
would think of him as being in the
same class as Ruby Robert was, yet
Hall was a strong favorite in the
Crescent City contest. The wish that
Hall would win was father to the
thought, for Fitz was decidedly in
bad with the American fans, while
his fellow Australian was very popu-
lar. The FitZ-Han affair ushered in
the era Of extravagant purses, for
the competition for the bout was so
keen that the Crescent Athletic club
hung up $4,000, to be divided S35, 900
to the winner and $4,000 to the loser.
The result Of this bout added vastly
to the wealth Of California, for the
Golden State fans backed Fitz to a
man. and covered every offering Of
the dead game ones from the other
sections who put their kale on Hall
The first round was even, the second
was Halls. and after that it was all
Fitz until he landed the punch which
brought joy to a few and gloom to
many.
