When the fight takes place Pansy Jones discovers the truth and, pride bruised, angrily wins the fight against Gray. Much to the resentment of the fight-managers who, accompanied by Gray, subsequently, chase Pansy Jones down. They run him into the subway, and Pansy Jones falls onto the tracks of an oncoming train. The ending is ambiguous, but it is assumed he dies. A new hardcover edition of "The Set-Up" was released in 1968, called "A Certain Wildness" which contained both "The Set-Up" and "The Wild Party" coupled with an introductory piece by March himself, which functioned as a short memoir. This edition also featured an introduction by the American poet and critic Louis Untermeyer and black-and-white illustrations by the artist Paul Busch. This edition was different from the original text for the characters were de-ethnicized. Herman was no longer German, Morelli was no longer Italian and Cohn was no longer Jewish. This is because"The Set-Up" was met with criticism after the Second World War because of its stereotypical depictions of race, which were seen as derogatory and insensitive. March wrote that he ‘was trying to reflect the melting-pot character of New York as it was in those days’. Yet he never the less concedes to the critics' point and writes in the introduction to the volume:  "There was an ugly aftermath to "The Set-Up". When I came back to New York, I found that the narrative was considered by some to be 'anti-Semitic'. This was because I had made one of the Negro boxer's managers a Jew, and had drawn him as a thoroughly obnoxious and unscrupulous character. I was appalled by this accusation, and it rankled - the more so since I had always regarded anti-Semitism as a prejudice espoused by morons and illiterates; a viewpoint so unreasonable that no educated or right-thinking person could entertain it. But, the era in which no one considered "The Set-Up" anti-Semitic has long since vanished. The prevailing mood of today would have no patience with my obnoxious Jewish fight-manager. The truth is, my own attitudes have changed with the times, just as everyone else's have, and today I find the Jewish character I created forty years ago distasteful too. So when a new edition of The Set-Up seemed probable, I decided to re-write portions of the narrative and eliminate this undesirable character [...] and while I as at it, I went through the book and carefully denationalised all the characters.
