Adolphus McCabe was also referred to as Alf Walker.

In a March 29, 1890, article in the National Police Gazette: New York, "Jack" McCabe, called Alf Walker, extended a challenge to anyone willing to fight. The article indicated, "Walker stands 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighs 230 pounds. He possesses great strength. Recently at Schillinger's Brewery, for a wager of $1,000, he carried a live mule weighing 1,200 pounds, 40 yards. He lifts a barrel of whiskey and put it on a five-foot stanchion with ease. He has figured in twenty-seven glove fights, and his last victory was the defeat of Mervine Thompson, the Cleveland Thunderbolt, whom he knocked out in two rounds. Big Six will fight Peter Jackson, Godfrey, or any colored pugilist." [1]
