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. -

SHELF LIFE NEWS FOR FACULTY & FRIENDS • SPRING 2017 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO LIBRARIES WOMEN IN POLITICS PAST & PRESENT Mary Ann Smith, Carol Moseley Braun, and Heather Steans (L to R) addressed Loyola students and faculty at the Women in Politics panel on the March 27, 2017 By Nancy Freeman, Director, Women and Leadership Archives What was your pathway into politics and public life? What challenges did you face along the way and who/what helped you to succeed? These are two of many questions asked of three women politicians the evening of March 27. The Women in Politics: Past and Present panel featured Ambassador Carol Moseley Braun, former 48th Ward Alderman Mary Ann Smith, and current Illinois 7th District Senator Heather Steans. Loyola’s Dr. Shweta Singh, Associate Professor in the School of Social Work, moderated the lively discussion and Q&A with the audience. Panelists talked about what led them to enter political life and shared their challenges and successes along the way. Each noted the interplay of gender and race in their experiences. The three also encouraged the audience, made up almost entirely of students, to become involved and engaged in politics at any level. The Women’s History Month Committee, composed of Loyola faculty, staff, and students, organized the event. Sponsors include the Department of History, Gannon Center for Women and Leadership, School of Social Work, Student Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, University Libraries, and Women Studies and Gender Studies. More photos from the evening can be found on the back cover. GREETINGS FROM THE DEAN DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES, It’s hard to believe that another academic year is winding down. -

The Brown Bomber Battles Hitler's Favorite Fighter
GreatMomentsinSports_v14_toprint 04/02/12 The Brown Bomber Battles Hitler’s Favorite Fighter Heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali was famous for loudly proclaiming, “I am the greatest.” Yet even Ali would probably agree that there was one fighter who was at least his equal, if not even greater. That man was known as the Brown Bomber—world heavyweight champion Joe Louis. 1 GreatMomentsinSports_v14_toprint 04/02/12 2 RUTH ROUFF Joe Louis was not exactly a natural at boxing. As a teenager in Detroit in 1932, he was knocked down seven times in his first amateur fight. But his family was very poor, and he dreamed of making enough money to lift them all out of poverty. So he kept training and soon started winning. Noticing his raw power, two fight managers took him to see a veteran trainer, Jack Blackburn. Although Blackburn was himself black, he preferred to work with white fighters. There were two reasons for this. One was that in the 1930s it was much easier for whites to get a shot at title fights. This was partly a white reaction to black heavyweight champion Jack Johnson, the title-holder from 1908–1915. At a time when blacks were supposed to “know their place,” Johnson went out of his way to anger whites. He humiliated his opponents. He loved to show off his money by spending it on flashy clothes, fast cars, and the late-night bar scene. Worst of all, he paraded around with white women on his arm. Some might say that Johnson was simply being himself. That was certainly true. -
