    International Boxing Research Organization Newsletter #26 September 1987 From: Tim Leone Sorry about being a week late on the last Newsletter, but I broke another copyer and it was necessary to have the copy work done by a printing company. To date there has been a total of 90,000 feet of 8mm and S8mm requested for transfer, about 8,000 feet of 16mm and 58 hours of VHS duplication requested. I'm surprised that Castle Films is no longer in business. Again, I must express gratitude to those members who took time to write and phone their encourgement over the resumption of the Newsletter. The organization is a joint venture involving all of us. Without the support of the membership, none of this would be possible. -- Long Live Boxing -- I am involved in doing research in the pre-1932 years of the career of Tiger Jack Fox. At the moment there are numerous verifications of main event matches between the years of 1925 and 1932 for him. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. In this Newsletter, Thanks must go to the following gentlemen for their contributions: Tracy Callis, Dave Block, Paul Zabala, Bob Soderman, Lawrence Fielding, John Grasso, John Hibner, and Lucketta Davis. 1 V-1 E I F ID I FzECTOFt "V F" 1J A E NEW MEMBERS Jack Barry 33 Skyline Drive West Haven, CT 06516 Phone (203) 933-6651 Mr. Barry is interested in professional boxing from the bareknuckle era to 1959 in the U.S.A.

'Bob' McConnell, Chairman 210 West Crest Road Wilmington DE 19803 Reed Howard March 2002 (302) 764-4806 [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Davids I am sure that you are all aware that Bob Davids passed away on Sunday, February 10. There have been many tributes to him already, but I would like to make a couple of brief comments here. The minor leagues were one of Bob's big interests and he was a member of the Minor League Committee from it's inception. He was the editor of the three volumes of Minor League Stars. Bob was not only the founder of SABR, he was one of the best researchers in the organization. He was always willing to help other people with their research. He spent many hours in the Newspaper Division at the Library of Congress, digging up information to fulfill requests. We will miss him.
