A Hit Above the Collar Line
By IRVIN S. COBB
SOME years ago there was a colored stagehand at the Colonial Theatre
in Chicago who fancied himself a pugilist. He took lossons in
sparring; he practiced shadow boxing until he could lick any shadow
that ever lived. Presently he announced himself the all-weights champ
ion of the Colonial Theatre.
A musical comedy came along to play the Colonial. Included in its
stage crew was a large, brawny person of Swedish antecedents who
knew a thing or two about handling his fists.
The negro promptly challenged him for a fight and the stranger
accepted the challenge. On the first Saturday night of the troupe's
engagement a ring was fitted up back stage and here, after the per
formance the bout was staged before an audience consisting of the
members of the company, the theatre staff and a few specially invited
guests. For a joke, Jay Brady, the manager of the Colonial, acted as
manager for the house entry. The leading comedian of the musical show
sponsored the cause for the Swede.
Presently the referee called time. The two men advanced to the
center of the ring. The darky led, feinted, tapped out daintily and deftly
for an opening and then swung. The Swede started a haymaker from
his knees. His padded fist whizzed upward through tho air and as the
darky ducked it landed on the side of his head with a terrific thump.
The negro landed on his back half way through the rope?. Even
in this sudden and unforeseen catastrophe though, he did not lose his witr.
"Mister Brady," he yelled, "claim a foul claim a foul! Dat man
hit me a deliberit brain blow!"
