It is one thing to "bulldog" or wrestle with a ewe-necked steer and quite another to tackle a well-developed fighting bull. Pickett found this out, much to his consternation.

The Evening Ledger accused the Record (morning) of bringing its bulldog edition out before 7:30 a. m., cutting into late sales of the Ledger. Curtis-Martin Company refused to supply Ledgers and Inquirers to any newsboy who handled the Record.
