What Others Say
THE MANLY ART . CHINESE AMERICAN TIMES,
Together with the proud Chinese community, we applaud Peter Tom who out-pointed former champion Randy Horton for the 118-pound
open class crown in the Golden Gloves contest at Madison Square Garden last March.
We place special significance to young Tom's victory because:
• He competed in the world outside of Chinatown.
• He competed in a sport alien to his Chinese ancestry.
In our community, we have too many who brow-beat their less aggressive fellows. To them, repeat the words of the village elder: "It is no glory to v."in over your lesser brethren. The real glory is to win in the outside world."
It's to young Tom's greater glory that he triumphed cleanly in western style boxing which is grueling and
punishing. It is an American pastime. And we like to point out to Tom's participation and efficiency in it as a positive sign of acculturation.
While we hold our noses at the shenanigans of professional boxing, we look on amateur boxing as a manly art of self-defence. Indeed, a good Golden Glover is a wholesome fellow who does not need to tote a chip on his shoulder or carry a switch-blade in his pocket.
