  • Jack London's Female Watchers in the Game and the Abysmal Brute
    The Familiar Uncommon Spectator: Jack London's Female Watchers In The Game and the Abysmal Brute Scott Emmert In recent decades, Jack London's significant contributions to American literature have gained an increasing amount of critical recognition. Among these acknowledged contributions is his status as the first "serious" writer of sports fiction in America. Biographer James Lundquist, for example, notes that London "was one ofthe first writers to take sports seriously as the raw material for novels and stories" (179), and critic Michael Oriard goes further, identify­ ing London the "father of American sports fiction" meant for adult readers (Dreaming 9). Specifically, London's accomplishments as a writer ofsports lit­ erature rest mainly on his boxing fiction. 1 As one biography puts it, "London virtually invented the modern prizefight story" (Labor and Reesman 157 n.7), this invention being represented by the short stories "A Piece ofSteak (1909) and "The Mexican" (1910) and by the short novels The Game (1905) and The Abysmal Brute (1913). Always mindful of his audience and of his sales, how­ ever, London crafted this inventive prizefight fiction so as not to offend his readers with the brutality ofboxing, a sport so violent and decadent that it was deemed unfit as a subject of serious literature until London "gave it literary respectability" (Oriard, Dreaming 9). When describing what happens inside the square ring, London seeks a measure of respectability for boxing by tempering his descriptions ofviolent action with a compassionate depiction ofhumanity. London's naturalistic box­ ing fictions, in the way of most naturalist stories, seek to evoke the reader's sympathy for protagonists at the mercy of fo~ces beyond their control.

  • Name: Joe Gans Career Record: Click Alias: Old Master Birth Name: Joseph Gaines Nationality: US American Hometown: Baltimore, MD
    Name: Joe Gans Career Record: click Alias: Old Master Birth Name: Joseph Gaines Nationality: US American Hometown: Baltimore, MD Born: 1874-11-25 Died: 1910-08-10 Age at Death: 35 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5' 6 Reach: 70.5 in. Division: Lightweight Trainers: Jerry Marshall, Jack McCue Manager: Al Herford From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Joe Gans (November 25, 1874 - August 10, 1910) was born Joseph Gaines in Baltimore, Maryland. Gans was rated as the greatest lightweight boxer of all time by boxing historian and Ring Magazine editor, Nat Fleischer. He fought from 1891 to 1909, and is believed to have contracted tuberculosis in 1908. His final record included 131 wins (88 KOs) 9 losses and 13 draws. Gans won the lightweight championship by knocking out Frank Erne on May 12, 1902, Erne had successfully defended the title against Gans earlier, when Gans was forced to quit due to a serious eye injury. There is some dispute as to whether Gans relinquished the crown in November of 1904. According to a reissue of the Ring Record Book, compiled by others after Nat Fleischer died, Gans relinquished the crown after winning a fight on a foul from Jimmy Britt. According to this version of history, Gans later regained the title on September 3, 1906 by defeating Oscar "Battling" Nelson on a foul after 42 rounds. British boxing historian Gilbert Odd, lists Gans as champion from 1902-1908. There is no corroborating evidence of Gans' abdication of the title, and Gans continued to fight as a lightweight; thereby casting doubt on his attributed stated reason for surrendering the crown.

  • Irish-American Culture and Acculturation
    tAhree Irish-American Culture and Acculturation herever they settled in their new American homeland, immigrant groups had to go through Wthe sometimes-difficult process of preserving or rejecting parts of their native cultural tradi - tion. In general, the Irish were singularly fortunate in being able to preserve many of their customary patterns of life and association. In particular, the Irish were spared the linguistic alienation experi - enced by many other ethnicities as they adapted to their English-speaking workplace and neighbor - hoods. As it had in their homeland, the Catholic religion remained both a spiritual solace and a bulwark of communal identification. Social clubs and Irish bars rivaled parishes as social centers, es - pecially for the unmarried, and traditional Irish music and dance proved to be among the most en - during aspects of Irish culture among Irish immigrants to San Francisco and the surrounding area. The appeal of Irish music, not only on the stage and in the dance hall, but in pubs, clubs, church halls, and private homes, was perennial. In the first essay, Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin traces the history of traditional Irish music in San Francisco from its origins as an authentic expression of an immi - grant community during the Gold Rush to its latter day transformation into a “folk” idiom of nearly universal appeal. Dance halls like the Knights of the Red Branch (KRB) were immensely popular in the city and often proved to be quite literally the “ballrooms of romance” for many young couples. For immigrant offspring, the more formalized, reinvented traditional dance promoted by the Gaelic League, complete with stylized costumes, served as a mode of valuing and perpetuating Irish culture.

  • A Trip Down Market Street by David Kiehn
    A Trip Down Market Street By David Kiehn On April 14, 1906, a Market Street cable car approached the Ferry Building with Harry Miles aboard cranking a movie camera for 12 minutes as he document- ed a typical day along San Francisco’s busiest thoroughfare. The landscape he filmed would change dramatically only four days later when the city was rocked by an earthquake, followed by a raging fire that lasted three days, destroying nearly everything in sight. But “A Trip Down Market Street,” the movie that cap- tured this lost moment in time, was safely on a train for the east coast office of the Miles Brothers film company, and would A Western Union messenger looks over his shoulder at the motion picture camera soon be seen by attentive audiences all mounted on a United Railroads cable car as automobiles and horse-drawn carts flank the rails.
