Kid Scanlan

Kid Scanlan by H.C. Witwer is about a skilled boxer who has no brains to show for it but can win hearts all over the country. Excerpt: «Brains is great things to have, and many's the time I've wished I had a set of 'em in my head instead of just plain bone! Still they's a lot of guys which has gone through life like a yegg goes through a safe, and taken everything out of it that wasn't nailed, with nothin' in their head but hair! A college professor gets five thousand a year, a good lightweight will grab that much a fight.»
