Circus as a Fred Howe and George Moore Circus as a \"tat boy,\" and there met his present sparring partner. George Moore was born in Helena, Montana, where his father had a little dry goods shop. until he was twenty-one years of age George worked in his father\'s shop. But his greatest desire was to see the world. When the fist big circus came to Helena, the manager offered him an engagement to exhibit himself as the \"living skeleton,\" and he closed with the offer at once. Fred Howe, they soon became great friends. The doctors advised both to take as much exercise as possible - the one to gain flesh, and the other to get rid of it. These smart Yankee lads then resolved to combine duty with pleasure, so they went in for boxing. For a long time they practised privately. One day, however, the manager was told of the fun by some of his \"freaks,\" who had been allowed to see a set-to\" between the two gladiators. The manager then arranged a round or two, and the moment he saw Howe and Moore face each other, he offered them a long engagement at an increased salary, if only they would do their boxing before the public. To-day these funny fellows are not only expert boxers, but also perfect comedians in their \"art.\" Their boxing is uproariously funny. Moore is 6ft. 3in. in height, and weighs but 97lb., Howe is only 4ft. 2in. high, and weights exactly 422lb.
