CELEBRITY BOXERS - LORD BYRON by Peter Hatton

IBRO Newsletter if8 listed some men who achieved fame outside of the but who were known to have boxed. One of these men was the writer Lord Byron,born George Gordon Byron, the 6th Baron Byron (1788-1824). Peter Hatton provides some additional insight into Byron's boxing participation.

"In this period there is a great distinction between bare-fisted 'milling' and gloved '.' (ed. note - see p.47 of the Second Annual Journal). There is no evidence that Byron did other than spar. Jim Ford credits him with 6 bouts while at Harrow (School) (1801-5) and our Dictionary of National Bibliography credits him with having been 'a poor scholar, good boxer' at school and a 'practised boxer' while at Cambridge University (1805-08). Boxing was not a formal sport at Harrow school at that date and I will see if I can find out anything more; however, given Byron's reputation as a protector of his friends with his fists (esp. Lords Clare & Delawarr, Harkness, Long, Sinclair and (more debatably) the future prime-minister Peel), I suspect these were challenge fights informally controlled rather than anything more formal. When in from at least 1805 to at least 1 81 4, Byron was coached by 'Gentleman' John Jackson, 'Professor of Pugilism' (All- Champion 1795-? 1800) at his gym at 13 Bond Street; at times Jackson also came round to Byron's rooms in the Albany to spar with him. I am sure Byron was a frequent spectator at the Fives Court, but had he participated in an exhibition, Pierce or Bee would have recorded it. Bee in Fancyiana lists Byron as one of the principal putters-up of purses in 1807. I suspect Byron's sparring at Cambridge was chiefly with Long and would have been watched by other undergraduates. My conclusion then is that Byron,though having a reputation for the use of his fists,never participated in a bout one could record formerly by the standards of 1 800, 1890 or 1984."

"SHOWER" FIGHTS

In reading a fight report in a contemporary Australian boxing magazine, the phrase "shower fight" was noted. An inquiry to John Hogg produced the following explanation.

"A 'shower' fight results in shower of coins to the combatants as you may have surmised. Frequently notes also accompany the coins. Mainly preliminary bouts are showered, sort of a bonus to the lesser fighters for a good fight. Hard to say how common they are. Not as many as years ago wlien there were more preliminary fights on each programme. It's a dangerous practice but impossible to stop. A coin thrown from the back of the stadium can cause damage. I have seen ringsiders suffer head cuts from coins. In years ago one lost the sight of an eye after being hit. When a shower starts you duck your head and cover your eyes."

NEW ZEALAND

Earlier this year, on March 19, 1984, Australian lost his Australasian light title to Samoan Alex Sua in Carlow Park, Auckland, . What mode the bout unusual was the scoring of the three judges: 234-233, 234-232 and 234-228. In New Zealand they use the 20 point must scoring system for professional bouts as well as amateur ones. Does anyone know of cny other place where a 20 point system is used for professional bouts? (thanks to John Hogg for this item).

THANKS

To the following members for their contributions to this newsletter: George Blair, David Bloch, Tom Crome, Luckett Davis, Robert Diamond, Laurence Fielding, Michel Glodu, Bruce Harris, Peter Hatton, John Hogg, Joe Koizumi, Johnny Shevalla, Paul Soyka and Julius Weiner.

LEE SAVOLD

In newsletter f 11„ the record of appeared. The name Lee Hulver was given as another name for Savold. According to George Blair, Savold was the fighter's family name- his fatherLs come was Sam Savold. Does anyone know whether Lee Hulver was an early ring name for Lee Savold, and if so, when did he stop using it?

VIDEO TAPES

A good source for fights on video tape per George Blair is Kurt Noltimier, 2240 Ridge Drive '33, St. Louis Park, 55416 - telephone 612 545-0094.

BATTLING

In newsletter *13, an article on Joe Jeannette mentioned that Battling Jim Johnson fought out of a "Jim Jeffries-type crouch in his heavyweight title bout with ." Robert Diamond has a short film clip of Jim Johnson vs. Sam McVea in 1910 in in which Jim Johnson fights in a very pronounced upright position and wonders if Jim Johnson changed styles for his bout against Jack Johnson. He writes, "Interestingly, McVea fights with his left arm completely extended and uses it as a spear to charge with. Both fighters also have the unfortunate habit during a brisk exchange of punches of throwing round-house punches with their heads down and eyes facing the floor."

FIGHT FILMS

Paul Soyka, Apt. 2414, 3550 Jeanne Mance, , H2x 3P7 is working on a project to catalog fight films. Please contact him if you have information on any fight films or would like to take part in this project.

CELEBRITY BOXERS

Julius Weiner has provided some more names of personalities from the entertainment world who boxed in their youth: Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Lou Costello, William Demarest, , Dale Robertson, Reginald Gardner and Phil "Take a- or Leave it" Baker. In addition, the Peace Corps director under President Johnson in 1966, Jack Hood Vaughan, was a Michigan champion.

TARTAN BOXING ANNUAL

Robert W. Macdonald, 29 Baronswell, Wick, Caithness, has produced a limited edition of a new record book, The Tartan Boxing Annual 1984. This 43 page softcover book contains the records of 45 Scottish boxers - their 5 world champions, 5 contenders who fought for the world's championship, 3 others who were European champions, and 32 current boxers. The book includes4_additional_bouts_for Benny_Lynch_thct a_ re_not in the 1983 RRB. Distinction is made between bouts won by RSC, retirem ent, or injury, and the site of bouts held within Britain (Albert Hall, National S.C., etc.) is also given. An - interesting note is the fact that Johnny Hill is included among the world champions by the RRB but not by this Scottish compiler. This is a neat little book worth adding to your collection. Jerome Shochet, 6144 Oakland Mills Road, Sykesville, MD 21784 will take orders for the book at $6 U.S. funds. Overseas members may find it more convenient to write directly to Mr. Macdonald. 4

BOXING - This is It !

Is the title of a new book by Hank Kaplan and Enrique Encinosa. This 246 page book contains dozens of rare photos, chapters on the world's worst fighter (who won only 10 of 300 bouts), the greatest globetrotter in boxing history, a handicapped youth who became world's champion as well as chapters on Louis, Johnson, Dempsey, Robinson, Leonard and others. Available from ETC Publications, P.O. Drawer ETC, Palm Springs, CA 92263-1608.

GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS

Recently IBRO was asked to review the boxing entries.for the Guinness Book of World Records. Included in the boxing section are facts about the longest and shortest fights, tallest fighter, most fights, most , etc.

As most members know, mcny of these so-called "facts" have been passed along in various record books but have not always been verified. The Guinness authors would like to be able to authenticate all entries and have asked IBRO to help. Please send any material that might be used in this task to IBRO, Box 84, Guilford, NY 13780. Any additional items of the greatest, fewest, most, least nature that can be authenticated are also desired. The Andy Bowen-Jack Burke and Jeffries-Finnegan clippings in newsletter #13 are good examples of what they are looking for.

YOUNGEST PROS

One record not yet included in the Guinness Book is that of youngest professional boxer. The November, 1969 issue of "The Ring", page 29, includes the following item:

"Canadian promoter Regis Levesque put a card together in Ccp del la Madeleine, Quebec Province, in which his 1 2-yearold son Daniel made his pro debut in a losing effort against another 12-yearold, Jacques Noel. The bout consisted of three two-minute rounds. The boys were paid a total of $35; S25 to Noel and 510 to Levesque. There is no minimum age for pro boxers in Quebec, and no local commission. Both boys plan to engage in bouts this Fall.'

Can anyone help verify or challenge the validity of the above information. Does anyone know of any younger pro boxers? Did either boy ever box professionally again?

SIDB

A public corporation called Sports Information Data Base (SIDB) has recently been formed. Its purpose is to create a computerized data base of all sports. It plans to sell a sports research service to the media and eventually plans to offer it to the public. It also plans to provide the facility for computerized typesetting and to publish sports books. To the best of my knowledge, none of the members of IBRO are stockholders, officers or employees of SIDB.

IBRO has been having negotiations with SIDB aimed at making IBRO the primary supplier and authenticator of historical boxing records. IBRO will continue to be conducted as a non-profit organization, but an agreement with SIDB may provide our organization with the backing necessary to produce an accurate all-time boxing record book. The utmost caution is being taken to safeguard the reputation which IBRO has established as an independent, non- commercial organization dedicated to boxing research and to producing an accurate history of boxing.

ADDRESS CHANGE

Please note that Reg Noble has a new mailing address. It is now P.O. Box 6371 I Pasadena, TX 77506. It is correctly listed in the new membership directory. 5

"Th e Boxing Rambler" - Johnny Shevalla

"We are all winners when we share happiness." - Coleen Conte (Coleen is the wife of the late superb character actor Richard Conte. Co leen is intensely active in the famed Hollywood Thalions Club. The Thalians favorite charity is their own mental hedlth center in L.A. Coleen is totally dedicated and lovingly devoted to the Thalians, as is this tourist. A thrill that stays. We love to promote and do p.r. for the Thalians. Loving and lovely - they're in my ring.

"Crowd of Memories" - Hollywood: "A Good Sport", (CBS-TV telernovie - 2-8-84). Ralph Waite played sports columnist Tonny O'Bannon who falls in love with fashion magazine editor, Michelle Tenney, played by Lee Remick. An enjoyable script and performance. This story taok this tourist back to the misty past when Spencer Tracy spoke some lines in "Woman of the Year", ( his first of nine pictures with Katharine Hepburn, 1942-67), that I never forgot. Tracy's dialogue sums up what this column is all about. "Yes, I like this job more every day. I like the people. like to write about them." It is always pure pleasure for this tourist to have the opportunity to meet, to get to know and to love the Beautiful people in sports and show business: the loyal fans, writers, the fight crowd, the rodeo and movie cowboys and the genuine friends that have graced our life with so much giving, giving us the solid thrills and golden memories that stay. We're particularly fond of the happy times breaking bread with the uncommon athlete of yesteryear.

Grantland Rice, the late famed sports columnist once wrote about the talent that comes from Eastern : "Hard rock kids with anthracite in their legs." Three kids immediately come to mind, Joe Baksi, Steve Filipowicz and Len Eshmont. They were neighbors in Kulpmont, Pa.

Hugh A. Mulligan - A.P. - Julligan's Stew - 5-17-83: "Harry Balogh, the blue-jawed baritone of , would smite the ringside bell thrice, pull down the overhead mike and bawl: 'This is the premiere attraction of the evening, 15 rounds, introducing in this corner, weighing 138 1/2 pounds, wearing purple trunks, etc., etc., etc."

Carl Lundquist - U.P.I., The Sporting News, sent this tourist the following note: "Johnny, I am not going to try and count the years, but it has been a long and wonderful association. I truly appreciate your warm letters and you are one of the reasons why this crazy business is really worthwhile." Carl, I am grateful and proud of our friendship. May I always prove worthy of your friendship.

Arthur George Rust, Jr., Radio WABC, New York sports talk show host and columnist:" I have to fight back the tears when I think of Joe Louis, Joe Dimaggio and Jackie Robinson." Arthur, my favorite cowboy and pal, Gene Autry, once recorded a touching song: "Memories that make me cry". Being a romanticist as you are and a sentimentalist that I picked up from my grandpop Joseph and my uncle Edmund, I cry when I think of talent, greatness and pure champions.

Ode to Fritzie Zivic - Zivic was a craftsman - proud of his profession.

Jack O'Brian of radix WOR, New York and King Features syndicate columnist, end famed Broadway actor Eli Wallach were talking about Art Rooney Sr. (owner, founder, Steelers and much revered in the N.F.L. - extraordinary sportsman). Eli recalled Mr. Rooney and added, "He's known the world over - 'Pittsburgh A rt.'"

This tourist along with veteran A.L. umpire Jim Honochick and stellar Football player, Eddie Soroka were given the seat of honor at a memorial service for athletes by the St. Clair (Pa.) Oldtimers Assn. Smooth sailing from your host and guest, Johnny Shevalla 16

KO by 6 In the Nov. 1926 Ring, in the Jersey Notes of Harry Dolfuss, page 32, it is mentioned * Asterisk indicates newspaper that "Jeff Smith, veteran of many years, decisions. outpunChed , of Philadelphia." So apparently he did sometimes fight in New Jersey, during his. last years. 26 Following is a clarification of a record book EDDIE (CANNONBALL) MARTIN had several discrepancy mentioned in Newsletter fights in 1928 and 1929 which are not # 7: George Manolian won the decision his record (1983 RRB, pages 899-900). over Wolcott Langford on Aug. 30, 1927, in The one with Herman Wallace is mentioned according to .

If this really was -Al Rube Goldberg May 3-Davey Abad, St. Louis L 10 the same Jeff Smith, then the record book is wrong, in indicating that he was inactive in 1926, and this fight should be added to his record. CHARLEY (PHIL) ROSENBERG (1983 RRB, page MIDGET WOLGAST had quite a few fights 900), this fight is mentioned in the April 1929 Ring, page 24, also in the before 1929, besides those listed in 1930 Self Defense Sporting Annual, p.106: the 1983 Ring Record Book, page 938.

This fight In the Nov. 1926 Ring, Jersey Notes, is not in Flowers' record (1983 RRB, page page 32, he stopped Charley Hoffman 648). However, it does appear in his record in 3 at Atlantic City.

One note on Huttick's record. The 1933 EVERLAST BOXING RECORD credits him with a 6-round victory over Art Rodenbach, March 11, 1932 in New York. However, I have checked and find no record of this fight, or of a card on which it could have occurred. In fact, there is no report of it at any time during Huttick's career. Since there is no reliable evidence that a Rodenbach-Huttick bout occurred, I have omitted it from Huttick's record. • ?8
