Didn't Scatter fits Blows.

Some years ago a number of horsemen pulled off a fight at Louisville. The “go” was between Brutus Clay and a negro who hustled for his pork chops. After the fight had gone three rounds the hrsfier quit. His seconds said to him: “Say, what are you quitting for? You are doing all right, and you can beat him.** But the hustler said: “I ain’t agoin’ to fight that man any more ’cause he don’t scatter his blows enough.” Brutus used a straight left on the nose all the way through.
