His Last FIGHT.

70
The greatest fighter at his time, and
the winner Of several hundred fstic
encounters, George Dixon, died in the
alcoholic ward Of Bellevue Hospital. a
victim of a long fight with drink.
Idollzed in his prime by thousands, as
a puglistic hero, George Dixon passed
away practically penniless and with
out funds. Dixon was 81 years of age,
and for many years held the title Of
featherweight champion.
George Dixon fought several hun
bred ring battles, his first fight being
in 1886, when he whipped a boy named
Johnson, in Halifax, N. S. From that
time until Terry McGovern knocked
him out in 1900 and broke his heart,
no man Of his weight ever whipped
him. He won the featherweight til
tie in 1891 by whipping the champion,
Cal Mccarthy. Dixon was a perfect
fighting machine, so far as attack and
defense were concerned, and his abil-
ity to strike a blow from any position
made him a formidable opponent. Dix
on won thousands Of dollars in the
ring, which he spent with companions.
A wasted, wan figure was brought
to Bellevue Hospital several days ago
and ticketed in the alcoholic ward as
George Dixon. To the doctor he said
that he had fought his last fight
with John Barleycorn, and had been
beaten
His condition grew rapidly worse,
and later on the former champion
died.
1t might be we'll to live high when
you are making plenty of money, but
at the same time n would do well to
save a little to care for ones self dur
ing his last days. With the passing
of Dixon another spoke has been
broken in the wheel of fstic arena.
What death leaves undone, the color
line will finish.
