The quarrelSome instincts have
survived, however, and since tfcn
the scions of noble English houses
have been hard put to find an out
let for their surplus belligerency.
The Marques of Douglas and
Clydesdale, whose pedigree is lcn-
ger than telephone directory,
seems to have solved the problem
The Marques, instead of donnirg
steel suit, encases his fists in
eight-ounce gloves, dispenses with
practically all other raiment and
seeks his adversaries in the box
ing areas.
Because he is a pioneer IN his
line, the marquess has had to
find opponents who are several
steps beneath him I'm rank. but
that has not deferred him.
In the recent tournament for the
Scottinsh amateur boxing champion
ships the marques entered the
lists as a middleweight and dis
played so much boxing ability and
gameness that he earned cheers
from what had first been a hostile
crowd. He did not win the cham
piOnship, but he turned in n cou-
pie of performances that set all
Scotland and most of England
talking about the fighting mar
guess"
In the preliminary bouts of the
middleweight class the marques
found himself pitted against j. A.
Henderson. a young miner, who is
employed in coal pits on the estate
of the Duke of Hamilton. father of
the Marques. Henderson started
out to show the marques that hox-
ing Is poor game for a duke s
heir
For half round he made
things extremely lively for the
young nObIeman. and the audi.
ence began to hurl derisive iibes
at the marques.
The derisiOn stirred the mar
quess's fighting blood. He launched
a counter-attack that sent the
husky miner reeling against the
ropes. Only the gong saved Hen
derson from a TX. o." From then
on the Marques tore into his
rival like a cross.cut saw in a pine
log and gave the young coal-digger
a. boxing lesson and a thorough
licking. At the end of the third
round the Marques was declared
| the winner, and the crowd cheered.
The next opponent the marques
faced was j. J. Robinson, a riveter,
