Hach not beaten?

[Glenwood Post, Sept. 24, 1898.]

The training, the traveling... Not enough to be known as Buttermilk Boy and crush the world's best riders at your home track.

San Francisco Transit Strike

Noticed this while researching Denver's 1920 strike, which turned out a lot worse than what's described here. In Denver they did carry guns, and used them to shoot indiscriminately into crowds. Is Black Jack Jerome among the strikebreakers in SF?
