sidered awfully vulgar
and common these days for
prize fighting persons to wear the
names given them at the baptismal
fonts. In their efforts to be fashion

birthmarks, gold-fille teeth or fond
ness for certain foods and liquids.

he substituted one p. m. for fight

was to take part in some prelimi-
nary scrap, but failed to be among
those present Geary whaled the day
lights out of his opponent and the
crowd, being unaware of the substltu-
ton, called loudly for Willie Rich
ardhon. Geary then decided to grab
off the name for himself. Later he
changed it to Richie.
T OUIS WALLACH-that' the name
l. Leach Cross used to wear. But
friends commenting upon his SHOW
ing during his first ring engagement
declared that he hung onto his OPP
ponent like a "leech" and he (Louis)
seemed as "cross as a bear" when
ever his opponent smote him upon
Leach Cross.
When the late Stanley Ketchel
made his first ring appearance the
referee asked his name. "Stanislaus
