Tt was & purely unselfish motive limit was t0o low at 103, and the public wero not interested in the scraps of Chappio Moran and Spider Kelloy, Just look at his record, leaving lesser lights aside, Cal McCarthy, untrained and with left wrist broken in the third round, couldn’t settle Dixon in 80 rounds. Wonderful colored boy. Knocked out Cal in something less than two hours later, by superior condi- tion. He whipped Willis and Wallace, and 80 was champion bantam of the world a min of these weighed over 113, and th photographer always nad an overwhelming advantage in strength, Otherwise he was acool, fair fighter and improved, insviring confidence among his backers. Lack of Judgment or expericnce alone can explamn hus fuihwe to defeat Murphy in 40 rounds and Cal in 80, Perhaps it was for son other reason, but 1 can't see it Then came terrible changes from pride or prosperity or wood Georgie got too big to fight at So O'Rourke introduces ce Dixon of Boston, champion feather- weight of America. Wiy, I thought Billy Murphy had the belt, even from_clever Ik ind Billy wanted to fight Dixon lone, long ago at 116, but the darkey had smiled scornfully at the upstart Australian who thought a 115-pound wonder ought to figkt 2116 pound_chump, who held the feather championship of tho world eained by havd kuocks. Billy was also anxious to fight all the lichtweizhts, Perhaps it was this t settled Dixon, A young person named Johnson came over from England, as champion, of course. He was very muscular and his heavy shoulders showed other development than straight Jabbing would give. ~ Shoulder bound, bat my, what a sweiled head. The firstlead showed his woful plicht, but Georgie, the hurricane fighter. was too cunning to be caught and perhaps hurt by a ladylike tap, 80 he dodged, prodded and did lots of pretty work with his left. Amoug other things he showed that he had not such mstonlike 8tabs as Jack Dempsey used to keep a big man away. - Dixon finally smashed ) the jaw and the Britisher was just where had ocen more than_an hour hofore—out of it What did this show? The kid scemed 10 think he was doing fine work, but that punchon the jaw was afl ther fieht, Any chump could sce a " the thing after the fivst round, if not after the first blow struck. Then novices Skelly and Pierce, and thero fou harve Dixon's pedigree. Whre aro tho st men of the threo conviuents? He met no Australianfeather weight, and ref 1sed to mect one under any conditions. Now if 118 Is the feather limit, Dixon never was a ban- tain chamvion or a bantam at all, As 126 is the Australian limit, an American can scarcely refuse to whale 126-pound men if he wants to be champion of the world. Dixon would be better at that weight than 118 at ring side, as Billy Plimmer and Dixon's leanness showed. "High time to ao aw with weighing in at 3 o'clock, und set an honest limit for championship contests, One hundred and twenty-six may scem strange for feather limit, but it is just the size of it. ‘We don’t want the man to win who can train finer and gain faster than another, How many men have been called Demp- soys of their class, but it is hard to find one who is willing to give away a pound of weight, Juck won his middle-weight title 8t 188, and the men he met before and after that were anything but stiffs. When we consider that he was onlya heavy light- weight at any time, and_yet beat Dom M Caffrey and half a dozen lesser heavy weights, {n addition to his string of middle victims, are we not justified in saying that there was but one Nonpareil? 1 have confidence in the Haligolinn, but he has been too much favored at all times to be ranked us a world beater. We can all win every tme, when we have it all our way, but I think Georgie will no longer be able to dic: tate conditions. Now those peoplo who said ho lacked heart, and onco stopped to nurse a stricken eye -thatwas befors he met Horn becker —will have reason to_crow, bt the are probably long since dead, Oue thing is certain, the mulatto failed to show any generalship, and. succumbed to rattlement when e meta man a littlo su- perior in cunning. What chance will he have then with Griflin, supposing both ar victorious und meet 'at list. Johnny im- proves with every fight. Iivery boy' like iim does, and Dixon wasa yap not to runge o battle right after Grifin's victor over Lynch, Georgie said: “If I couldn’t whip Grifin, Pd goon o farm.” 1t may d you good yet, and it may not bo long béfor you will be first out for'a good position ho ng turnips, Georgie. 1f you were less face- tious and more willing you _would bo & b picr and a prouder boy now,but much poorcr What o lesson in hoeing you got, ana those crucks on the jaw relieved the air pressure on your bramn.” *Whom the Lord loveth ho rebuketh and chastenoth,” “The meek and lowly piease God.” You are all right, mo buckle.

How would it #0 for Champion William P, Plimmer to tuke Gieorge Francis Train's advice to Corbett ter he vanquished Sullivant Train's tele- m Lo Corbett was: “Stick to your laurels and quit the ring for the stage; dou't fight the negro, I know him.” As a matter of fact, Plimmer's performan are far superior to Corbett’s, but the public is get- Ling twed of theatrical pugilists, and they will have to veer around on another tack and try some other scheme, Little Billy Plimmer deserves credit for what e has done.
