He was in Florida in 1892 when
the late Fred Buchholz, one Of
Washington's three original box

come to Washington to help get
the newly legalized game started
here. The city needed experienced
referees, Fred said, and Howard
didn't need much coaxing. He
fell in love with the town, even
though his luck, which included
a whirl as a fight promoter at
old Camp Meigs, where Mexican

In one of the seasons biggest
upsets, hasn't all been good. Sure,
he'd like to visit Alaska again,
and some other old ports of call,
but this is the spot he wants to

memory for some anecdotes OF his
gold rush experiences in Alaska.
Jack used to frequent the bars,
looking for material for stories
and I went there for something
to do. Never. touched a drop Of the
stuff in my life, but bars and
gambling halls were the only
places to 60 in Nome at that time.
London was a great talker,"
Livingston continued. He'd strike
up a conversation with anybody
and the first thing you know
they'd be arguing and then fight
ing. Jack loved a roughhouse,
even though he usually got the
worst of it, and the next night
he'd be right back in another
argument and another fight. I
sided with him the first time. I
wasn't much of fighter, but I
could take care of myself and
help him, too. and from then on
we were great buddies."
Livingston. by way Of identifi-
cation, is a portly, reformed
globe trotter. whose checkered
career began as q newsboy in
front of Trinity Church, New
York, and eventually brought him
to Washington. At onetime he
was general manager of Uline
Arena and currently he holds the

atmosphere Of stale beer and
strong tobacco smoke, the hun

hustle, too. The pay was IS q
fight. no blood, no dough.
But Howard was ambitious and
went to night school. where he
acquired enough polish to obtain
a position in J. Pierpont Nor
gan's financial firm. Part of his
job was transferring some of his
hard-won polish to the cuspidors,
sweeping floors and pressing let
tiers, an antiquated method of
making additional copies.
He was 18 when wanderlust

strike in the goldfields lured him
