-The details are sketchy at best on those early carnival matches - the format varied from place to place, & night to night - but in general, anyone in the audience, male or female, was challenged to step into the ring & take Mildred on, with a prize being offered if you managed to last for a specified amount of time, & a bonus offered should she be defeated. By all accounts, Mildered's record in these matches was over 200 wins, & 3 defeats.
