young man from entering the profess
siona1 ranks.
"MAMA's BOY"
The boys of his age in the club be-
gan to regard George as their par "a
lar game-a sort of a "mama's boy"
and when boxing with him tried TO put
one over whenever there was a chance.
They got as good they sent.
Finally Green leaped into profession
alism He met and knocked out Jack
Strong in five rounds. Next he de-
feated the then famous Jimmy Whalen
in Tacoma, Wash, in five rounds for a
$1,000 purse.
In this battle with Whalen, Green
attracted attention. George, while a
great fighter, was not at that time a
clever boxer, and when beaten by Paddy
Smith at Roby. Ind, in % rounds, Green
returned home and quit the game for a
year. meanwhile taking boxing lessons
from Jim Corbett.
UNDER CORBETsvS WING
In 1895 Jim Corbett took Green to
New York, where a challenge to all the
lightweights was issued and he was
matched with Jim Holmes. whom he
defeated In seven rounds. Nine days
later he knocked out Eddie Pierce in
three rounds, and within a. month had
added to his string of victories his
knockout of Jack Hayes, f"The Fighting
Blacksmith" in two rounds.
Shadow Maber was Green's next vic
tim, he knocking out that famous boxer
in seven rounds in Baltimore. There
was terrific milling in this battle,
Maber being at that time about the
best boxer Green had faced in the
! ring.
WELTER WEIGHT CHAMPION
| Green returned home and earned
! $4,000 by defeating Danny Needham.
! Then he met and beat owen Zeigler
| and followed that up with a victory
! over Tommy Tracy.
Dan Stuart was casting about for a
| boxer to meet the rushing Mysterious"
Billy Smith as a curtain raiser for the
/ Corbett-F -F'itzsimmons fight at Carson
! City. Not welter weight was willing
! to take a beating a the hands of Smith.

an ardent admirer of Jim Corbett, and,

SPIDER" AND HIS BANJO
Green went up to Carson City TO
| train for the battle, with Spider"
Kelly and Dal Hawkins to condition
him. Hawkins was training for Martin
! Flaherty whom he knocked out in a
punch. The camp was the liveliest
/ place about Carson, Spider" Kelly
making 1t pleasant with his banjo and
guitar and providing music for evening
! dances in the camp for the boys.
The history of that great battle is
| known. Green won from the "mys-

/ thus became welter weight champion,
and by that time it was generally
| recognized that Green was an excep-
/ tionally great fighter.

at that time Walcott was master of

! any Of the good ones and did not
hesitate at taking on anything from
a welter to a heavy.
LOSES TO TOMMY RYAN
George lost his title to Tommy Ryar
in San Francisco in 18 rounds. In this
battle Green, coping with the master OF
the game in the welter weight divi-
sion, showed stamina that won him
many friends.
|. Green fought a second battle will

and lost the decision in 25 rounds
Green was in no condition at the time
the heat having affected him SO that
he could not retain, let alone gain
strength
Green has one decision over Tommy
Ryan to his credit, having won from
"Sir Tonsilitis" in Kansas City in six
rounds.
BEATS DAN CREEDON
After having taken the measure OF
Frank Mcconnell, a clever welter
Green recovered his confidence and
agreed to meet Dan Creedon. And
George won from that famous Austria
liam fighter after 20 rounds of desper-
ate milling.
Green lost twice to Al Neill, who
was then coming on fast, and these
battles were his last of prominence
though he appeared In the ring fre-
quently after that.
George was mighty fond of ice
cream in his fighting days, and used

couple of pounds, then indulge in a
couple of quarts of ice cream after din
ner and put back all the weight he
had worked off.
FIGHTS SINCE FIRE
Green has foughts such men as Red
Burgess. Kid Krantz. Tom Mullane and
Jack O'Keefe since the fire. He beat
Burgess, drew win Krantz, knocked
out Mullane In two rounds and stopped
OKeefe in three rounds.
Green and Spider Kelly once met
and green won in 13 rounds, though
the willing and game Spider was not
out. The Spider admitted his defeat
I have not attempted to give al
Green's battles in detail, only the most
important and interesting. He was a
| fstic wonder, and in his day feared by
all tho boxers in his class.
STRONG ENDORSEMENT
At tho age of 20 George Green was
installed in the Olympic club as light
weight boxing instructor. and at that
time an officer of the club said OF him:
This promising young boxer, a quiet
unassuming youth, with none of the
manners of the tough or hoodlum, is
| decidedly boyish looking. To bad
man looking for fight George would
appear an easy victim-for the first
time. After that the bad man would
steer clear of him, for he is one of the
biggest men Of his size in all the world
He could get ample backing to meet
any lightweight in the world and 1t is
doubtful If Bowen, Myers. Gibbons
DAILY, or even Jack McAuliffe, would
have a sure thing with him. He is
very quick and as game as q bulldog .
MODERN BOXERS
When asked for an opinion of the
| fighters of today, Green said:
