Began Yelling Fraud"

MKEGGS was champion, but the
v boys began yelling fraud all
~ over the place. It was, AZ
we would say today. too strong
There was no finesse I'm Bills fax
ing Furthermore. he had the nerve
to make a statement later admitting
It was a Barney" saying he had
received a nice sum for tossing the
battle.
But" said Bill, naively, II made
more money by losing than I would
have made by winning and I'm Just
as good a man as / ever was"
The sports couldn't see this argu-
ment, and Bill was in very had
thereafter. Unlike Fred Fulton and
many, many other pugs OF later
vintage who have confessed" to
taking, he was not received back in
the fold.
The nailers and blacksmiths OF
London had bet heavily on Bill, and
they were very sore over his
treachery. After the fake Bill had
a hard time getting matches. and
none of them was important. He
licked an Irish fighter named Nc
CURE, then was beaten by one Tur.
ner. His last bout OF any conse-
quence was with Harry Sellers, the
conqueror OF Peter Corcoran, a IA
nous Irish champion.
This was eighteen years after
Stevens fought Jack Slack, and ne
had no chance with Sellers. History
does not record the end OF Stevens.
