    A/03/49 W. Howard Robinson: Collection Lewisham Local History and Archives Centre Lewisham Library, 199-201 Lewisham High Street, London SE13 6LG The following items were received from Mrs Gillian Lindsay: Introduction W. (William) Howard Robinson was a noted representative artist and portrait painter of the early twentieth century. He was born on 3 November 1864 in Inverness-shire and attended Dulwich College from 1876 to 1882. He followed his father, William Robinson, into the Law and after a brief legal career studied Art at the Slade School under Sir Simeon Solomon. His professional career as a portrait painter began circa 1910 when his interest in the sport of fencing led him to sketch all the leading fencers of the day, these sketches were reproduced in the sporting publication “The Field” leading to further commissions for portraits with a sporting theme. He became well-known for his sketches and portraits of figures in the sporting world such as Lord Lonsdale, Chairman of the National Sporting Club. His two best known paintings were “An Evening at the National Sporting Club” (1918) and “A Welsh Victory at the National Sporting Club” (1922). This first painting was of the boxing match between Jim Driscoll and Joe Bowker, it took Robinson four years to complete and contained details of 329 sporting celebrities. The second painting commemorated the historic boxing match between Jimmy Wilde and Joe Lynch that took place on 31 March 1919 and shows the Prince of Wales entering the ring to congratulate the victor, the first time that a member of the royal family had done so.

In the 1986 British Boxing Yearbook, Lee is credited with 60 contests. I have been unable to trace twelve of these and as I am uncertain as to the original source they have not been included in this record. Lee was the uncle of George McKenzie, who also held the British featherweight title. Lee was a noted puncher who won the first of his titles when well into his thirties.

  • Jimmy Wilde Fort Wayne Sentinel 22 November 1919 the English
    Jimmy Wilde Fort Wayne Sentinel 22 November 1919 The English invasion of America is on. If any one doesn't take it seriously just let him talk to any Englishman about Jimmy Wilde, who is conducting the invasion. He'll get an earful. There are Englishmen who think James can lick Jack Dempsey. And there isn't an Englishman living who believes for a moment that any American, Frenchman, Australian, Swede, Dane or Chink within ten pounds- of Wilde's weight has any right to go into a ring with him unless insured against sudden death. That's what they think of Wilde in England. The English invasion of America is on.

This Jimmy Wilde boy is reckoned the greatest fighter turned out in England since Figg threw away his club and invented the gentle are of tapping a gent on the lower maxillary with a right hook. There have been fighters in England now and then, but no Jimmy Wildes. Last fall I was talking with an American bantamweight who went over and tried to get a reputation by flattening Wilde, who was somewhat prominent.

  • Our Sporting Heroes
    Our Sporting Heroes The Royal Welch Fusiliers has associations with many successful and elite sportsmen. Some reached the pinnacle of their success when serving with the Regiment; others laid the foundations of later success during their service. A selection of their stories can be found on these pages. Sport has long been important to the British Army, as a means of furthering fitness, team spirit and individual achievement. The RWF Depot Cricket Team, 1898 Prize fights in the Army were established early in the 19th century and a formal School of Army Gymnastics was set up at Aldershot after the Crimean War. Sport was included in 19th century Army reforms designed to improve the lot of the ordinary soldier and as a stimulus to recruiting. Physical Education played an important role in training while other sports were used to bring a sense of discipline to recreation. Soldiers had a lot of recreation time to fill, particularly those on garrison duty abroad. Officers brought an enthusiasm for sport engendered at public schools. Sport was therefore an 1st Battalion RWF Football Team, interest that could be shared by both officers and men - good for inter-rank relationships. Dublin 1912 Football and Rugby Football have traditionally been the most popular sports in the Army reflecting the situation in civilian life. Annual Army Athletics Meetings were held from 1876. After an initial reluctance to embrace the sport, Army Boxing Championships were established from 1892. Indian Army Boxing 2nd Battalion RWF Boxing Team, Hong Kong Championships were in place by 1912. 1937 Sport is still included in routine fitness training and units hold regular sporting events.

Chen C Department of Engineering, 2030 Business and Engineering Center, University of Southern Indiana, 8600 University Boulevard, Evansville, IN 47712, USA Edited by: Ernesto Estrada [Received on 16 October 2019; editorial decision on 23 January 2020; accepted on 3 February 2020] This study seeks to examine and compare boxers throughout history creating a pound-for-pound list of the different fighters. A PageRank algorithm was utilized to rank the boxers from the network to determine a list of the top 10 fighters from 1897 to 2019. Two data sets were utilized, a truncated subset and a larger data set, to explore the impact of network size on the rank of boxers. Additionally, the researchers systematically varied the damping factor of the PageRank algorithm to determine the effects on the rankings. A discussion of the results includes a comparison of journalistic rankings and those from a points-based system from the respected boxing website BoxRec.
