Hart was born Sept. 16, 1876, in a farming community near rern Creek, Ky. His parents were of German stock. He attended the grade schools in Louisville and then learned the plumbing trade. His ability as a fighter was fre- quently, shown in school days but it was something of an accident that made a prizefighter out of the young plumber. his interest-in the game was aroused when he acted as second to a Louisville youth who engaged in a grudge fight with another young man.
