George was not In the best OF condition
for this fight. l visited his training
camp at Asbury Park. where he was
working out with Corbett. and he told
me that tho heat affected him very
much. He did some foolish stunts. too.
For Instance. he would work hard all
day reducing his weight and then in the
evenings he would eat several quarts
Of ice cream. The next morning he
would find that he'd put on several
pounds during the previous night. lie
would have to do all the hard work
over again. In spite OF this. he fought
a good battle and accepted his defeat

Green admired COrbeft.


When Stuart was hunting for some
one to meet Mysterious" Billy Smith
at Carson City at the time of the Fftz-
simmons-Corbett fight, all of the well
terweights In the West refused TO make
a match. Finally Green was appealed
TO. Although his friends told him he
didn't stand a chance with Smith.
Green said he didn't care SO long as
he got an opportunity to see the battle
between F!tzsimmons and Corbett. n
readily agreed to meet Smith. So he
went up to Carson City and. with the
assistance of Spider Kelly and Dal
Hawkins. trained faithfully for his
fight. Green was a great admirer OF
Corbett. and occupied a prominent place
at the ringside when Lanky Bob landed
his solar plexus on Gentleman Jim,
During his training Green's camp was
the ~llveliest place around Carson City,
Spider Kelly was an adept with the
banjo and the guitar. and every night
the boys had a great SONG and dance
racket. Dial Hawkins trained with
Green. Dial fought the shortest fght
on record by knocking out Martin Fla
herty In one punch, the fight lasting
less than four seconds.
Green made a match with Joe WAL

Green after eighteen rounds OF hard

George lost the welterweight title OF
the Pacific coast to Tommy Ryan In

Up to this time Green had been con-
sldCred somewhat OF "A Willie Boy be-
cause of his acknowledged social con
nections, and in order to prove to the
Frisco sports that he had In him the
real makings OF a good fighter. Green
decided to turn professional.
His first fight in the professional
ranks was with Jack Strong. whom he
knocked out In five rounds. lie then de-
feated the famous Jimmy Whalen in ten
rounds at Tacoma. the men fighting for
a purse of $1,000, and the sporting fra
ternity of the Coast Immediately took
him up. Although Green was a good
fighter by this time. he was not a
clever boxer, and after no had been
whipped In twenty-eight rounds by Pad
dy smith at Roby. Ind, he quit for a
year and went back to the coast, where
he took lessons under Jim Corbet and
improved his boxing.
In 1895, Green. in company with Jim
Corbett, came to New York and issued
a challenge to all of the local light
weights. His first fight here was with
Jim Holmes at the Coney Island A. e.,
and George won by a knockout IN the
seventh round. Nine days later he put
over the sleep punch on Eddie Pierce IN

professionals who frequented the club to
outpolnt young Green. However. he
took his punishment without a whlmper.

1t was but a short while before his
parents began TO suspect that George
was preparing to become a professional
boxer. and In order to put a stop to
any such plan they required the club to
discourage HIM as much as II possibly
could. So the boxers started In q make

ana every one who put on the gloves
with him tried Ia knock him out. But
the more wallops he received the harder
he came back. and the more he tried to

him around mpI.lN for amusement thay
began to give him pointers in the game.
He learned rapidly, and soon became a
skilled amateur. winning tho amateur

Mayor Marshall of Columbus, Ohio,

told this story at a Republican ban
quet:
A teacher said to her class:
who was the first man?
George Washington, a little boy
shouted promptly.
How do you make out that George
Washington was the first man? said
the teacher, smiling indulgently.
Because said the little boy, he
was first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts Of his countrymen.
But at this point a larger boy held
up his hand.
Well said the teacher to Elm,
who do you think was the first man?
q don't know what his name was,
said the larger boy, but I know it
wasn't George Washington, ma'am, be
cause the history book says George
Washington married a widow, so Ct
course there must have been a man

Fair woman puts hObble on
Her small and dainty feet,
SO very tight she finds it hard
To walk along the street.
She has to travel up a stairs
Upon her hands and knees,
And coming down she has to hop
Like little Fidos feas.
She puts a hobble on her head,
A band of ribbon wide,
About the silken braids and curls
And puffs securely tied.
But whether she is gray and old
Or rosy-cheeked and young,
She never, never, never puts
A hobble on her tongue.
