"Take the belt, old sport! We can't any of us talk in...

Illustration shows a group of boxers standing behind a large boxer who is giving Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary a jeweled belt labeled "Championship"; boxers are known for their pre-fight taunting bluster. Papers, probably from Peary's lectures, extend from a pocket of his fur coat, they state "Cook's a faker", "I'll show him up", and "Bluff".

Date & Place: N.Y. : Published by Keppler & Schwarzmann, Puck Building, 1909 October 6.
