Associated Press, December 28, 1897:
“Young Griffo, the prizefighter, and Billy Starr, who has fought a few battles, met in the loft of a stable on Golden Gate avenue last night and Young Mitchell stopped the fight in time to prevent Starr being knocked out.
“Afterward Starr challenged Peter Jackson to fight. The colored man laughed at him. Starr is still ignorant of the fact that he was fighting ‘Young Griffo.’ He had told Mitchell that he could whip any man in town, and for that reason Griffo was put up against him.”
