Over the chests and between the shoulder blades of both men were pads of supple muscles.

Both men were strong of arm, though neither too heavy with muscle to be quick and active.
"Gentlemen," announced Referee Packard, "this fight is to be to a finish, with bare hands.

Rounds, two minutes each.

Time between rounds one minute.

There will be no preliminary handshaking.
Are you ready, gentlemen ?" "Ready!" quivered Dodge.
"Ready," softly replied Prescott, a smile hovering over his lips.
"Time!" Dodge came forward nimbly, his head well down and his guards well placed.
