Jfow I got My Nickname,
By “Bearcat” Tom McMahon,
Per Ed Frits, Manager, Etc.
“Some years ago while I was near
Newcastle training for a bout, 1 did con
siderable work tin the road, my course
leading through a mountainous section.
One day a fellow named Chauncey ha
vis was out with his dogs hunting for
bear. They rounded up one and the
chase started. The bear ran through
the woods toward the road where i was
Jogging along. ,
First Thing.
The first thing 1 know about It out
Jumps the bear -he looked to me bigger
than the biggest elephant the world ever
has known. Hut that simply was my
first Impression. The bear was a lit
tle hit smaller to be truthful about It.
The bear scrambled out Into the road In
a sort of panic. I tried to duck out of
his way, but I ducked too late. The
bear charged right at me and bowled me
o v er. The % Impact made him lose his
balance and he rolled ever, too.
“1 Jumped to rny feet and so did the
bear. My being In his woy must have
made him mad, lie lung* d toward me
and mafic a swipe at trie with his paw.
He missed me but only by a fraction of
an Inch. 'The Idea of that brute trying
to wallop me made me mad, and right
then and there I decided I’d choke him
to death JJust to show my superiority.
“I dove for him, sort of like h fortball
player JuJmps for one of Ids opponents,
grabbed him by the /jerk, pushed aside
his thick hair, so I could get a good
grip on his skin, and then begun choking
him. In a few seconds I found that
choking a be.a while he was standing
up was a pretty big Jojb, so I knocked
him over, Jumped on him, renewed my
hold and choked with a will.
The Dog*.*
"Just then ]>avls ami hie d<>gs ram*
up. At my command, Davis railed hIH
dogs «>ff. Then he yelled to me to Jump
out of the way end that he would shoot
the heur. 1 wilt!: *Nlx;’ this bear In-
Hidted me hy trying 1° Dll mu when 1
wasn't looking, and now I’m going to
choke the sun-of-a-ffuu to death right
now.’
"Of cours* the bear struggled and
«M|ulrnied and tried to tear me with Ida
elnwH, hut 1 balked him and flnully iiln
eff<rt% heeHine feebler and feebler an my
choking continued and them, of a .sud
den, his body relaxed ami 1 knew 1 had
choked hhu Into unconsciousness. A
little more choking and I could have
killed him, but 1 thought 1 wouldn't he
so bruts I, «s I'd sort of gotten over my
anger, so 1 stopped choking the hear.
"latter 1 hired a wagon, tlad the hear
Bo he couldn't break away nnd bail him
carried to my training camp. 1 locked
the bear up in a Vuoin tlmt night. The
next morning armed with tt pitchfork, 1
opened the door to see how he’d gotten
along. Just a a soon as 1 pusher my
self through the door, the bear jumped
at me I could have Jammed Mm with
u pitchfork and killed him, bid, bfTause
I Imd subdued him with my tare hands
once, 1 felt tlmt l could do It again, so
I dropped the fork and drove a right to
the beat’s stomach. That sort of halt
ed bltn. gulck us a flash 1 shot In an
other and another and Mister llear
klndii got groggy I soaked him oqc«
again and he had enough.
"Well, this continued each day far
several weeks At the end of that time
the bear decided he had enough, end
that I was his master. After that 1
could go In and grab him by the snoot
and wrestle around with him without
any danger of his biting or BiTatchlng
me.
•Til always keep thnt hear with me.
He’s a great pet, and be affords mo
wonderful exercise. Xjulte often 1 tie
some boxing gloves on Ida front paws
and we box around. Of course, he isn t
as good at boxing as Jess Willard, Curt
Morris and the other white ht>pse, but
lies Improving every day.”
