The Old Timer looked around inquiringly and got a nod or two trom the older men. “This Moorgwas a darn good fighter in the nine@ies, but he didn’t last long because his habits were bad. His favorite method o’ trainin’ was to} drink a gallon o’ beer and tcll his veli-wishin’ advisers to go to hell. ‘This Billy had a brother Fred who} was a marvel for speed and boxin’ skill. He could put it all over his| brother Billy—but Fred had dissipat- ed too much, and four fast rounds) was his limit. He was a lank, stooped- | over, consumptive Icokin’ cuss—the sickest lookin’ and most deceivin’ boxing freak you ever laid eyes on. I never knew about this brother Fred until I came to North Dakota—but I found out. ye Fights Fred Motre “When I landed the North Da- kota town where fhe fightin’ parson had just started civilize the burg. the boys found gut that I could box and asked me {6 come around to the lodge hall and/put the mitts on with a tramp workin’ in one o’ the butcher shops. His/name, they told ms, was Fred Moore. “I looked the guy over an’ thought it would be a sin to hit him; he stood there with his hands down lookin’ at my feet as I waded in—he never looked up—always watched my feet. I tapped him lightly on the nose with my left, and well he broke loose! It was the only time I had ever been up again a real buzz-saw. After the first round I was able to navigate cnly in a dazed sort o’ way. “Time was called for the second round and in about a minute I was sittin’ on a pile o’ dunnage in a cor- ner countin’ the sparrows and seein’ Old-Timer Loses Bout “I was feelin’ purty sore, but the preacher consoled me by tellin’ me Moore had put it over the rest of the boys, just like that, including Char- ley Considine, the heavyweight from Bisbee, who was the big fighta:’ man in that locality. Charley had boxed a draw with Dal Hawkins ard had knocked out a couple o’ tough eggs that tackled him in the harvest field, They just stood still and waited for 'em— one on each side. When they got in) range he swung his left to the right | and his right to the left, clipped ’em | the first crack. Fred Moore showed up later in Minnesota—but that’s an- other story. “There was an ol’ Irishman livin’ near Bisbee by the name o’ Pat Gal- lagher—a kind hearted ol’ soul. His place was a great hang-out for the boys who had no other place to go; they could always get something to eat and a place to sleep at Pats. “One winter there was a half dozen youngsters at Gallagher's doin’ chores, runnin’ races, boxing and sometimes fighting. One o’ them was a big lad named Luther McCarthy— they called him “Luck” for short. “Luck was crazy about boxin’ but he were so much better than the rest, and was such a rough slugger that it made the others sore. One day Gal- lagher sent the whole gang out haulin’ straw, and four o’ the boys tramed up on Luck—they were goin'| © to pitch in and clean up on him when they got him out to the strawstack. McCarthy Ends Trouble “Purty soon the teams and bob- sleds came trailin’ back, one ted be- jhind the other, but without any straw. By Anemic-Looking Fred Moore * * * BOUT IN SALOON and weighin’ 210 pounds. et Aa Luck was doin’ the driving, and he had on board four o’ the sickest look- in’ lads you ever saw. They had started to carry out their plan, little dreamin’ that what they had pre- pared for McCarthy was just the kind o’ chuck he had been hankering for— a rip-snortin’ fight in which he had to rush himself to the limit. “When the fracas was over and Luck had put the last and toughest one down for the long count, he piled ‘em onto the hayrack and started for home. Old Pat gave ‘em all a lecture on brotherly love, but it didn’t do no good—they scattered after that. “Luck found a new sparrin’ partner in the neighborhood; it was ‘Big Bill,’ e Norwegian standing 6 feet 2 inches Bill could take the heaviest clouts Luck could drive home, and could hand out a few himself, and he had no end o’ endur- ance. “Luck challenged Charley Considine to a fight, but Charley didn’t take the big kid seriously. He sent back this word to Luck McCarthy: ‘Go out and get a reputation—then I'll fight ya!’ Killed in Ring “Well, Luck decided to take Char- ley at his word, so he headed east, lookin’ for chances to break into the fight game. We was soon teadin’ about him winnin’ some small-town fights, and not so long after that he was on his way ‘into the big money,’ as we say now-a-days. Bisbee, and Charley Considine, and Big Bill were all forgotten by that time, I s'pose. “There was one community in the United States that got a bigger and harder jolt than any other when the news was flashed over the wires that Luck McCarthy had died in the ring, just about the time he was gettin’ ready to reach for the heavyweight crown. That little community was Bisbee, North Dakota. “Charley Considine lost nis life some years later auto racin’ with a neighbor; he had just bought a new car—wouldn’t take the neighbor's dust, and crashed into a bridge at a turn, He won the race, but smashed the car and himself. Charley was good-hearted and a good neighbor, but reckless at times. “Big Bill is still navigatin’ up there, but he’s gettin’ gray now. If you should enter his home he would point to a picture on the wall and say proudly, ‘That's Luck McCarthy —I was his sparrin’ partner!’” Bowman Nine Defeats Rhame Baseball Team Bowman, N.
