His trainer and friend Jerry Doyle is at the camp with him, and it is Doyle who narrates the story. Jack is not optimistic about the fight and does not adjust to life at the health farm; "He didn't like being away from his wife and the kids and he was sore and grouchy most of the time," Doyle reports.<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hogan and Doyle talk briefly about racehorses, and when they ask Jack whether he bets on them, Jack replies that he stopped because he lost money. </p><p>Jack asks Doyle what he thinks of the shape he is in. Doyle tries to stall, saying: "Well, you can't tell ... You got a week to get around into form," but Jack asks for a straight answer. Doyle finally tells him, "You're not right," at which point Jack confides that he has been unable to sleep, despite being tired, because he misses his wife. Hogan, seeing Jack's condition a few days later, tells Doyle that Jack has no chance against Walcott. Doyle replies, "Well ... everybody's got to get it sometime."<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The day before the fight, Jack lists the things that concern him when he can not sleep: "I worry about property I got up in the Bronx, I worry about property I got in Florida. I worry about the kids. I worry about the wife. Sometimes I think about fights."<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For the rest of the day Jack is in a foul mood as he tries to loosen up and run through a few rounds of shadowboxing, but even then he does not look good. Jack cannot break a sweat jumping rope and stops working for the day. </p><p>That afternoon John Collins, Jack's manager, drives to the health farm with two well-dressed men named Steinfelt and Morgan. They go with Doyle to Jack's room and find him sleeping, but John wakes him up and asks Doyle to leave and tell Hogan the three visitors "want to see him in about half an hour."<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hogan tells Doyle that Steinfelt and Morgan are "wise guys" who own a pool-room, describing Steinfelt as a "big operator". Doyle and Hogan wait in the office, knowing the men do not want to be interrupted, until half an hour has elapsed. When they return to Jack's room, Steinfelt proposes having a drink. John, Steinfelt, Morgan, and Hogan all have several drinks; while Jack and Doyle only have one each. When John suggests Jack have another drink, he refuses – saying "I never liked to go to these wakes". The visitors leave. Jack remains quiet through the rest of the day. Later that evening, he drinks heavily and suggests Doyle put money on Walcott, confiding that he himself has bet "fifty grand" on the opposing boxer. He reassures himself of this action's morality, saying, "It ain't crooked. How can I beat him? Why not make money on it?"<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Jack eventually passes out and Doyle puts him to bed. </p><p>Jack and Doyle make the journey to New York City the next morning, during which Jack is stingy with his money. After weighing in, Jack goes with Doyle to the hotel room the two are sharing; though Doyle's brother-in-law lives in the area, Jack wants to get his money's worth out of the double room and asks him to stay. The two play <a href="/wiki/Cribbage" title="Cribbage">cribbage</a> and, when John comes, they continue playing until Jack has won four and a half dollars. Before dinner, he says they should play another round to decide who will pay for dinner. The cribbage continues after dinner, with Jack winning another two and a half dollars, until the time comes to go to <a href="/wiki/Madison_Square_Garden" title="Madison Square Garden">Madison Square Garden</a>. </p><p>Entering the ring at the Garden, Jack meets Walcott's cheerful words with cranky abruptness. The fight begins. Doyle reports, "There wasn't anybody ever boxed better than Jack,"<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the fight goes well for Jack for several rounds as his left fist repeatedly connects with Walcott's face. By the seventh round, Jack's left arm gets heavy and Walcott begins to gain the upper hand as he pummels Jack's torso. After the eleventh round John Collins tells Jack the fight will go to Walcott, but Jack says he thinks he can last through the twelfth round and goes to meet Walcott and "finish it off right to please himself." Walcott backs Jack up against the ropes and delivers a very low blow; Jack, in obvious pain, stays standing–"if he went down, there go fifty thousand bucks" because he would win on a foul–and tells the referee not to call the foul because it must have been an accident. He walks toward the dumbfounded Walcott and begins swinging, landing several body punches before hitting his opponent twice below the belt. Walcott falls and wins the match on a foul. </p><p>Back in the dressing room, Jack comments, "It's funny how fast you can think when it means that much money." John says, "You're some boy, Jack." "No," Jack replies. "It was nothing."<sup id="cite_ref-FG_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FG-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background_and_publication_history">Background and publication history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fifty_Grand&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Background and publication history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Story">Story</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fifty_Grand&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Story"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Years before writing "Fifty Grand", Hemingway wrote a boxing story which appeared in the April 1916 edition of Oak Park High School's literary magazine <i>Tabula</i>.

According to Philip G. and Rosemary R. Davies, Hemingway seems to have based the story on the 1 November 1922 welterweight championship fight between <a href="/wiki/Jack_Britton" title="Jack Britton">Jack Britton</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mickey_Walker_(boxer)" title="Mickey Walker (boxer)">Mickey Walker</a>. Though Hemingway was traveling from istanbul to Paris when the fight took place, "The use of similar or identical names for the characters and the stress on Brennan's age show the resemblance between the short story and actual circumstances", and Hemingway could have gleaned many of these details from newspapers.<sup id="cite_ref-Davies_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Davies-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>James J. Martine disagrees, however, writing that "the fictional Jack Brennan–Jimmy Walcott fight is an amalgamation of at least two real-life bouts", and arguing that Hemingway was simply "presenting the times" by writing of common occurrences such as fouls and attempted fixes, whatever influence the Britton–Walker fight may have had.<sup id="cite_ref-Martine_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Martine-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He offers another possible influence, the Battling Siki–Georges Carpentier light heavyweight championship match of September 24, 1922. This fight, unlike the Britton–Walker bout, ended with a foul when Siki was clearly about to win the fight, an outcome which "started the hundreds of Americans at ringside to shouting 'robber.'"<sup id="cite_ref-Martine_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Martine-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Martine adds, "If a man standing at ringside in a photo of the knockdown is not Hemingway, one critic has offered to eat the <i>New York Times</i> September 26, 1922, p. 14, and the rest of the paper."<sup id="cite_ref-Martine_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Martine-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ultimately, he concludes, the events of "Fifty Grand" are representative of common events in the 1920s. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Themes_and_analysis">Themes and analysis</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fifty_Grand&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Themes and analysis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Themes">Themes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Fifty_Grand&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Themes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Many critics place Jack among Hemingway's "code heroes", though there is disagreement as to whether or not he adheres to the code entirely. Fenton noted in 1952 that Jack fits the ideals of a professional, showing the ability to think and commitment to and knowledge of his sport. His skill and craftsmanship in the ring stands in stark contrast to the brute strength and crude force employed by the slower, heavier Walcott. Fenton suggests that the story "clarified the relationship between courage and professionalism."<sup id="cite_ref-Fenton_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fenton-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hemingway never mentions courage by name in "Fifty Grand"; "It is apparent, however, that courage is a part of Brennan's behaviour", and that "Thinking ... is what distinguishes the professional."<sup id="cite_ref-Fenton_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fenton-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Martine agrees that "Jack is the consummate professional", but offers the opposite reason: "He is a skilled and trained professional who does not have to think.

Davies read Jack as a code hero, whose courage is partly obscured by the facts of the Britton–Walker fight on which they believe Hemingway based the story. "Brennan's courage, while real, cannot reverse the impression created by the bulk of the story", they write, unable to find Jack admirable until the final pages.<sup id="cite_ref-Davies_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Davies-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They argue that Hemingway tried to show Jack's courage by giving him motives other than the obvious monetary one—they cite the statement, "His money was all right and now he wanted to finish it off right to please himself.

She writes, "The impression is that Jack finds confidence in private places: it is not necessary to explain to anyone what is good for him and his family; just shutting his eyes and cutting himself off from the external world gives him the confidence that his choice is—and eventually was—the right one."<sup id="cite_ref-Meunier_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Meunier-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As well as a source of confidence, she says, the boxer's "holding tight" in the early parts of the story prepare him for "holding tight" and finishing the fight in the midst of excruciating pain in the final scenes. "One of the features associated with dignity is control over oneself."<sup id="cite_ref-Meunier_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Meunier-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Robert P. Weeks, in his essay, found in Jackson J. Benson's collection of critical essays on Hemingway's works, comments on the machine imagery used during the boxing match itself: "During the first eleven rounds Jack boxes doggedly, mechanically ... Jerry also sees Walcott as a mechanism, but of a lower order."<sup id="cite_ref-Benson_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Benson-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The use of this imagery continues until Walcott fouls Jack. Then, "No longer a machine, Jack is alert, analytical, shrewd ...
