	“Last Tuesday night he faced ‘Young’ Kenny at Tattersall’s, and, although he won by a fair margin, he seemed to tire at the end. Kenny gave him a far tougher argument than did Lewis, but Griffo’s wonderful defensive tactics rather nonplused Kenny.”		“Last Tuesday night he faced ‘Young’ Kenny at Tattersall’s, and, although he won by a fair margin, he seemed to tire at the end.

	“While the windup was productive of a large amount of enthusiasm, it did not equal that displayed in the ‘Young’ Griffo-‘Young’ Kenny [original article’s spelling] contest, which the former won after six rounds of fighting, which kept the crowd exercising its lungs almost from start to finish. The clever Australian is still a popular favorite, and his great work against the local lightweight demonstrated that he is by no means out of the running. His wonderful headwork brought shout after shout, while his blocking and general fast work caused the crowd no end of enjoyment. Kenny made a game fight, and perhaps in a longer route would be able to reverse the decision, but in the shorter distance he was clearly outpointed by the Antipodean phenomenon.”		“While the windup was productive of a large amount of enthusiasm, it did not equal that displayed in the ‘Young’ Griffo-‘Young’ Kenny [original article’s spelling] contest, which the former won after six rounds of fighting, which kept the crowd exercising its lungs almost from start to finish.

			''[[George Siler]], Chicago Tribune, January 14, 1900:''

			“A remarkable feature of pugilism is the return to the ring, after almost a year in the Dunning lunatic asylum, of ‘Young Griffo,’ the clever Australian. ‘Grif,’ as he is usually called, made his first appearance against Jack Lewis at the C. A. A. a week ago yesterday, and, while not quite as speedy or as strong as of old, was good enough to put it all over his opponent.

			“Last Tuesday night he faced ‘Young’ Kenny at Tattersall’s, and, although he won by a fair margin, he seemed to tire at the end. Kenny gave him a far tougher argument than did Lewis, but Griffo’s wonderful defensive tactics rather nonplused Kenny.”
