At the age of twelve or thir- teen the little colored boy secured em- ployment as a messenger boy in a pho- tograph studio conducted by Elmer Chickering in Boston. All of the nota- ble fighters gn and around. Boston—and there were many of them in those days came to Chickering’s studio to be pho. tographed. Young Dixon saw them all and wes frequently transported to the seventh heaven of delight by having one of them say a wom to him. He could give clever imitations of most of them. On the walls of the studio were hung pictures of John L. Sullivan, Peter Jackson, Charley Mitchell, Jake Kilrain, Mike Donovan, Jack Dempsey and many others, When no one was around to observe him, the youngster would stand before these photc..aphs and imitate as vest he could the fighting poses of his favorite fighters. The ones before which he spent the most time were the plc- tures of John L. Sullivan and Jack Dempsey. , In trotting around to the newspaper offices and the sporting clubs with packages of pictures Dixon came to know all the spotting editors and fight Promoters in’ Boston. He Mved in the fighting atmosphere. In 188 he went back to Halifax for a short time, and while there fought his first ring bat- tle with a local boy called Young John- son, whom he knocked oyt in three rounds. For this fight Dix6n received the munificent sum of $1.90, After his return to Boston Dixon joined @ little athletic club at which he boxed fre- quently. Finally, after much coaxing and plead- ing with the Managers of the fighting clubs in Boston, Dixon got a chance ow what could do, He was matched in a preliminary, with Ellas Hamilton and fought him on Sept. 1, 1887, at the Athenian Club. George got the decision in eight rounds. The purse was $30, He made such a g00d show- ing that he was given a match on Sept. 28 with Young Mack for a purse of $25 before the same club. Dixon knocked him out In three rounds. His next bat- tle was og Jan. 2 1888, with Jack Ly- man, a New York boy, for a purse of $8 before the Athenian ‘Club, which bout he won in five rounds, On Jan. 20 he won over Charley Paeton, an English feath- erwelght, in six rounds for a purse of 37%, and on I uary 17 he bested Bar- ney Finnegan in seven rounds for a puree of $0, th fights took place the Athenia: as did alwo the o om March 1 w Ned Morris for puree of $7), wich Dixon wom in thre rounds.

It was at this fight that Tom O'Rourke, who afterward was Dixon's manager for many years, first saw the little colored boy. Through Dave Blanchard, the proprietor of a boxing club in Boston and author of the Blanchard Fair Play Rules, O'Rourke was induced to take the management of Dixon, On April 2% Dixon fought an eight- round draw for a purse of $75 before the Athenian Club with Tom Doherty.

Between the Horn- bacher and MoCarthy fights Dixon met Joq Murphy at the Gladstone A. C. in Providence, R. I., and won the decision in four rounds, His First Boxing Tour. As a result of his wonderful showing against McCarthy, Dixon became yery popular, and his astute manager took him on a tour around the vicinity of New York. On March 1 Dixon won over Paddy Kearnef, a local boy, at a theatre in Paterson N March 3 he defeated M & Jersey pugtlist, over in Hoboken, taking two rounds to do it. On March 81 he won over Mat McCarthy, the Philadelphia fizhter whose jaw Cai MoCarthy broke.
