broadswordsmanship

Of course, the devotee of physical culture has a pair of gymnasium shoes, and often wears a leather belt about his waist, sometimes a leather guard upon his wrist, and if he plays hard ball, or other games, he may have leather gloves upon his hand. The boxer necessarily uses boxing gloves. The class in fencing and broadswordsmanship draws upon the tanner. The fencing mask is leather lined. The broadsword mask uses up still more leather, and the arm guard used in this most strenuous game, takes up as much leather as would make a half dozen good soles.
