Abstract
- It was Berdan who urged her name change to "Mollie", perhaps for a measure of anonymity. Mollie the Jockey Berdan ran this purse race ad in the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer in July 1882, but by year's end she'd sold her "nag" and moved to Idaho Territory. Berdan and Jessie Lewis were pugilists with a traveling troupe. A Chronicle reporter interviewed Mollie's trainer, "Redhanded Mike" O'Connor, a former lightweight boxer turned barber.
