A Story About Clarence Whistler
~ NE time in San Francisco,
Pete Mccoy, who was with
" John L. Sullivan as SPAR
ring partner, kept slapping Whist
Ter on the neck.
Whistler, after asking Mccoy
to desist, turned to Sullivan Snd
said:
eff you don't make this fellow
stop he won't be able to appear
in your show tonight"
Sullivan laughed, and, next
time Mccoy slapped him, Whist
Ter turned, picked him up, raised
him over his head and slammed
him on the floor so hard that it
seemed every bone ip his body
was broken.
Mccoy was unconscious for
twenty minutes, and Whistler,
now thoroughly enraged, turned
on Sullivan and shouted:
II can do the same to you and
everybody that's with you. -
DENVER POST
Here Was a Tough Egg.
I<<0 N" Reading the account
r of the bare-knuckle
scrap between. Tommy
Burns and Joe Beckett, coupled
with the reminiscent chats
through the smoke CLUBS in your

of the doings of that great old
time bare-knuckle scrapper, Gin
ger Toohey.
/ suppose that for a man OF
his build he was one of the best
with the raw 'uns that ever
fought. Ginger wouldn't haggle
over a few pounds, or even a
few stone difference in the
weights of his opponents, and
treated them all alike.
After his set-to with Chiddy
Ryan years ago, when the latter,
one of our cleverest boxers, re-
ceived a great lacing, ] recollect
Ginger humorously remarking that
he had felt harder smacks from
a turkeys wing than those he re-
ceived from Chiddy.
Ginger in the roped ring, and
with the gloves on, was differ
ent chap altogether. On one oc-
casion l saw him in a four-round
spar at the old Golden Gate Club.
His opponents gloves were play
ing great tattoo on his hard,
old dial without him getting in
many blows in return.
About halfway over the jour
ney Ginger stopped, and in q
voice full of entreaty he pointed
to the gloves, saying: Chow about
one on and one Off" But there
was nothing doing.
