 Now that wrestling is again in favor, don't be surprised if the old discussion of wrestler meeting a boxer comes up. It seems ire pressible.

 Little George Dixon, though only q featherweight, almost kayoed Evan Lewis. the original "StrangIer" q great heavyweight wrestler. The old discussion had been revived. And when il reached Tom O'Rourke, who managed Dixon, Joe Walcott and Bob Armstrong, he told Lewis he'd be glad 10 match him with 11S pound Dixon to test the theory.
 In spite Of warnings that mighty Evan would break the little chaps neck, O'Rourke declared Dixon would meet him at the O'Rourhe stables training quarters. I had Sharkey on Staten Island then, and Q'Rourke invited me over.
 When the "StranEler" arrived, O'Rourke asked Dixon if he'd meet him.
 Mr. Lewis isn't fighter, and it would be unfair for me 10 hit him." said Dixon. That made Lewis wild; he said he'd pick up Dixon before he knew what was happening.
 Dixon finally assented. They changed clothes. l still can hear Big Tim" Sullivan laugh as they came 10 the ring-"a mouse and an elephant" he said.
 At the gong Lewis ran for Dixon. Dixon sides;epped, planting q hard sock to Lewis mouth. Lewis whirl- ed, rushed again and as he put forth his big arms 10 grasp Dixon. the little champ slid in and shot his right to Lewis car. The small crowd vas in an uproar.
 Lewis, in d frenzy, was running from corner 10 corner, hoping 10 trap Dixon. But the boxer kept dancing out Of the way, coolly pIas tering Lewis whenever there was opportunity.
 After five minutes ORourke or dored Dixon from the ring. LoWlS Was so uobbl> I doubt if he'd have lasted much longer
