child of the African darkness Is at
odds with civilized society for the
fortieth time, more or less. Battling
Sikh was suspended by the boxing

corner grinning.
Sikh appeared to be under full
charge of steam. He had done his
training in a bar and only knocked
off those exercises a few minutes
before the fight began.
