  • Max Baer, Jr., He Cried and Had Nightmares Over the Incident for Decades Afterwards
    Biography He was born Maximilian Adelbert Baer in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of German immigrant Jacob Baer (1875-1938), who had a Jewish father and a Lutheran mother, and Dora Bales (1877-1938). His older sister was Fanny Baer (1905-1991), and his younger sister and brother were Bernice Baer (1911-1987) and boxer-turned actor Buddy Baer (1915-1986). His father was a butcher. The family moved to Colorado before Bernice and Buddy were born. In 1921, when Maxie was twelve, they moved to Livermore, California, to engage in cattle ranching. He often credited working as a butcher boy and carrying heavy carcasses of meat for developing his powerful shoulders. He turned professional in 1929, progressing steadily through the ranks. A ring tragedy little more than a year later almost caused him to drop out of boxing for good. Baer fought Frankie Campbell (brother of Brooklyn Dodgers Hall of Famer Adolph Camilli) on August 25, 1930 in San Francisco and knocked him out. Campbell never regained consciousness. After lying on the canvas for nearly an hour, Campbell was finally transported by ambulance to a nearby hospital where he eventually died of extensive brain hemorrages. An autopsy revealed that Baer's devastating blows had knocked Campbell's entire brain loose from the connective tissue holding it in place within his cranium. This profoundly affected Baer; according to his son, Max Baer, Jr., he cried and had nightmares over the incident for decades afterwards. He was charged with manslaughter. Although he was eventually acquitted of all charges, the California State Boxing Commission still banned him from any in-ring activity within their state for the next year.

  • Name: Jack Sharkey Career Record: Click Alias: Boston Gob Birth Name
    Name: Jack Sharkey Career Record: click Alias: Boston Gob Birth Name: Joseph Paul Zukauskas Nationality: US American Birthplace: Binghamton, NY Hometown: Boston, MA Born: 1902-10-06 Died: 1994-08-17 Age at Death: 91 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6′ 0″ Reach: 72 inches Division: Heavyweight Trainer: Tony Polazzolo Manager: Johnny Buckley Annotated Fight Record Photo (with megaphone) Biography Overview A fast and well-schooled fighter with no lack of heart and determination, Jack Sharkey is nonetheless overshadowed by the other heavyweight champions of his era. Sharkey’s indefatigable willingness to fight any opponent is best illustrated by his distinction in being the only man to have faced both Jack Dempsey and Joe Louis in prizefights. Though he consistently fought the best, Jack did not always win when up against the true upper crust of the division. In fact, his finest performances are perhaps his losses to Dempsey and Max Schmeling. Outspoken about his own confidence in his abilities and often surly or uncooperative in business, Jack had the talent to back up his ego. He remained a constant presence at or near the top of the heavyweight division for nearly a decade and solidified in his place in boxing lore by becoming heavyweight champion. Early Years Born Joseph Paul Zukauskas, the son of Lithuanian immigrants, Sharkey was born in Binghamton, New York but moved to Boston, Massachusetts as a young man. Sources report little of his early life until, at the outset of the First World War, teenaged Joseph repeatedly tried to enlist in the Navy. Turned down because of his age, he was not able to enlist until after the end of the war.

  • Tommy Loughran
    Student Handout 4-Tommy Loughran Despite having fought in the early half of the last century, Tommy Loughran still has an active fan base. He was a prolific fighter, totaling 172 bouts in his career (he won 94—17 by KO—lost 23, drew 9, fought 45 to a “No Decision” result, and recorded one “No Contest”). In his long career, he fought in divisions ranging from the welterweight to the heavyweight. Considered to be a quick fighter who lacked a powerful knockout punch, Loughran nevertheless went undefeated from 1919, the year of his first professional fight, until he came up against Harry Greb in 1923. His style of fighting was based on timing and quickness of the punch, but an injury early in his career influenced his techniques. As the sparring partner for heavyweight great, Jack Dempsey, Loughran tried to get the aging boxer to improve his quickness in preparation for his bout against Gene Tunney. Loughran, who became known as the “Phantom of Philly”, fought against other notables, like the erratic James Braddock and Harry Grebe. When he broke his right hand, after just two years of fighting, Tommy was forced to rely on his left, which became known as one of the best in the history of the Light Heavyweight Division. After having great success in that division, Loughran moved up to the Heavyweight Division. He fought well there, until given a chance at the title versus Primo Carnera, a six foot, 270 giant. With Loughran weighing in at 184, it stands today as the greatest disparity of weight between fighters in a heavyweight title match.

The fight was held 40 years ago a week from tonight. Walker retained the title, but most newspapermen at ringside felt Shade should have been voted the winner. Shade and his wife drove here from New Smyrna Beach, Fla., where they operate a motel. Shade, now 63, weighs 160 pounds, which was what he weighed in his last fight 30 years ago. 2 Dave Shade, the fellow who was called by many "the uncrowned king of the welterweights," still thinks he licked Mickey Walker for the title 40 years ago next Tuesday night in New York. He said so yesterday in the living room of the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. William Shade of 263 Barker Road, where the 63 year-old former boxer and his wife are spending a vacation from New Smyrna Beach, Fla.

  • Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams Why Should You Care?
    Jewish Tough Guys Gangsters and Boxers From the 1880s to the 1980s Jews Are Smart When we picture a Jew the image that comes to mind for many people is a scientist like Albert Einstein Jews Are Successful Some people might picture Jacob Schiff, one of the wealthiest and most influential men in American history Shtarkers and Farbrekhers We should also remember that there were also Jews like Max Baer, the heavyweight Champion of the World in 1934 who killed a man in the ring, and Jacob “Gurrah” Shapiro, who “helped” settle labor disputes. Why Have They Been Forgotten? “The Jewish gangster has been forgotten because no one wants to remember him , because my grandmother won’t talk about him, because he is something to be ashamed of.” - Richard Cohen, Tough Jews: Fathers, Sons, and Gangster Dreams Why Should You Care? • Because this is part of OUR history. • Because it speaks to the immigrant experience, an experience that links us to many peoples across many times. • Because it is relevant today to understand the relationship of crime and combat to poverty and ostracism. Anti-Semitism In America • Beginning with Peter Stuyvesant in 1654, Jews were seen as "deceitful", "very repugnant", and "hateful enemies and blasphemers of the name of Christ". • In 1862, Ulysses S. Grant issues General Order 11, expelling all Jews from Tennessee, Mississippi and Kentucky. (Rescinded.) • In 1915, Leo Frank is lynched in Marietta, Georgia. • 1921 and 1924 quota laws are passed aimed at restricting the number of Jews entering America. • Jews were not the only target of these laws.
