Book publication, New York: The Macmillan Co., June 1905. Critics condemned this novelette as trivial and unbelievable, and London, disproving the latter charge at least, sent them news clippings to prove that a boxer could smash in the back of his skull by falling to the mat from a hard blow. Furthermore, London said that the lightweight champion of the world, Jimmy Britt, liked the story "on account of its trueness to life." (Book of Jack London, II, 10-11.) This story was reprinted as "Savage Victory" in the March 30, 2024 issue of Empire News (New York).
