I wonder if baseball's Tug Wilson took his nickname from the boxer Tug Wilson, who was a heavyweight contender at the time and is in the N174 set? "Promised $1,000 if he could survive four rounds with Sullivan on July 17, 1882 at Madison Square Garden, Wilson resorted to running, wrestling and intentionally falling down to elude the champion, earning the prize but the scorn of his competitor and the crowd on hand to witness the debacle." --Heritage Auctions. I gather the ballplayer had just about as illustrious a career.
