Born in South Boston in 1866, Keezer came to the Square after a youth spent at paper-peddling and in the prize ring. He fought professionally at 105 pounds and looks in trim even today.

It has been misled by its chauvinistic leaders, who, as his Lordship should remember, could only ascend to power in a Germany that had been crippled by Allied chauvinism at Versailles.
