(the Original) Vikings Of The Gloves - Robert E. Howard

Excerpt:

NO SOONER HAD the _Sea Girl_ docked in Yokohama than Mushy Hansen beat it down the waterfront to see if he couldst match me at some good fight club. Purty soon he come back and said: "No chance, Steve. You'd have to be a Scandinavian to get a scrap right now."
"What you mean by them remarks?" I asked, suspiciously.
"Well," said Mushy, "the sealin' fleet's in, and so likewise is the whalers, and the port's swarmin' with squareheads."
"Well, what's that got to do--?"
"They ain't but one fight club on the waterfront," said Mushy, "and it's run by a Dutchman named Neimann. He's been puttin' on a series of elimination contests, and, from what I hear, he's been cleanin' up. He matches Swedes against Danes, see? Well, they's hundreds of squareheads in port, and naturally each race turns out to support its countryman. So far, the Danes is ahead. You ever hear of Hakon Torkilsen?"
"You bet," I said. "I ain't never seen him perform, but they say he's the real goods. Sails on the _Viking_, outa Copenhagen, don't he?"
