"Jeremiah" was the son of Benjamin F. and Mena Jennette. Joe's father was a blacksmith. Interestingly, Joe's mother was born in Bavaria, yet is listed as "black" in an 1880's census report of New Jersey. My guess, considering that the black population in Germany during the time period was extremely small, is that even if she were not "black," she would have been listed as such because of the obvious social and racial intolerance of the period. Joe was raised in a very discilpined and hard-working family. He first worked with his father as an apprentice blacksith; later, around the turn of the century, Joe began to drive a coal truck for Jagels & Bellis, a notable organization of the period. In 1904, Joe began his ring career with an exhibition against a journeyman fighter named Arthur Dickinson in Jersey City, NJ. Joe lost the decision, but held his own with Dickenson and decided to give the fight game a chance. In a 1912 interview, he credited his friends with encouraging him, but said that the main reasn for his decision to become a fighter was that he didn't have to work as hard and the compensation was just too good to pass up. Despite Joe's brief training in pugilism, he showed that he could mix it up with the best of them by fighting Jack Johnson seven times and Sam Langford three times in his first 22 fights. Joe ended up beating Jack once on a foul in 2 rounds, losing once on a 15-round decision, and drawing once over 10 rounds. The other four fights were recorded as no- decisions. As for Langford, Joe beat Sam by tko in 8 rounds, lost a 15- round decision, and, in 1907, drew over 12 rounds. Although Joe would never again fight Johnson after their 10-round draw in 1907 -- despite constant challenges while Jack was champion -- Joe and Sam Langford would fight on at least 11 other occasions. It should be pointed out that until Joe Louis became heavyweight champion, many white boxers would only rarely fight outside of their race. Accordingly, black pugilists were left to fighting each other again and again. Joe was no exception, fighting nearly half of his recorded 157 bouts against 8 to 10 other black boxers of his day. Joe's greatest accomplishments came during his three trips to Paris, France. The backlash of Johnson's victory in Australia and Jack's unwillingness to fight any other Black fighters left Joe with very few competitive and profitable bouts in the United States. Joe, hearing about the acceptance of Black fighters in Paris and the lucrative purses being offered, decided to set sail to Europe. Under the guidance of Dan McKettrick, the very worldly, educated, and resourceful editor of the New York World, Joe arrived in Paris in the early part of 1909.

One aim of the chapter is to pick out some of the big moments in boxing history, including some of those that have been classified as part of a golden age as well as highlighting the key elements which make boxing distinctive and particular. The timelines which boxing has followed are uneven and played out in different places. Looking at some of the big moments in the sport, however, is a good way of finding out how sport shapes as well as reflects social relations and transformations and the connections between different times and places. Boxing involves a specific set of body practices and skills which have a long history. The sport has been marked by increased regulation, which has transformed the apparently free-for-all of ancient Greek Pankration – a form of wrestling or fighting, literally meaning the ‘all-power event’ – to heavily controlled forms of contemporary professional and amateur boxing with all their attention to carefully prescribed, detailed disciplinary practices and regimes.

    Harry Wills and the Image of the Black Boxer from Jack Johnson to Joe Louis

    Harry Wills and the Image of the Black Boxer from Jack Johnson to Joe Louis B r i a n D . B u n k 1- Department o f History University o f Massachusetts, Amherst The African-American press created images o f Harry Will: that were intended to restore the image o f the black boxer afterfack fohnson and to use these positive representations as effective tools in the fight against inequality. Newspapers high­ lighted Wills’s moral character in contrast to Johnsons questionable reputation. Articles, editorials, and cartoons presented Wills as a representative o f all Ameri­ cans regardless o f race and appealed to notions o f sportsmanship based on equal opportunity in support o f the fighter's efforts to gain a chance at the title. The representations also characterized Wills as a race man whose struggle against boxings color line was connected to the larger challengesfacing all African Ameri­ cans. The linking o f a sportsfigure to the broader cause o f civil rights would only intensify during the 1930s as figures such as Joe Louis became even more effec­ tive weapons in the fight against Jim Crow segregation. T h e author is grateful to Jennifer Fronc, John Higginson, and Christopher Rivers for their thoughtful comments on various drafts of this essay. He also wishes to thank Steven A. Riess, Lew Erenberg, and Jerry Gems who contribu:ed to a North American Society for Sport History (NASSH) conference panel where much of this material was first presented.

Goodbye, Jim, I'll miss you. From: Tim Leone As the walrus said, "The time has come to talk of many things". This publication marks the 6th IBRO newsletter which has been printed since John Grasso's departure. I would like to go on record by saying that I have enjoyed every minute. The correspondence and phone conversations I have with various members have been satisfing beyond words. However, as many of you know, the entire financial responsibility has been paid in total by yours truly. The funds which are on deposit from previous membership cues have never been forwarded. Only four have sent any money to cover membership dues. To date, I have spent over $6,000.00 on postage, printing, & envelopes. There have also been a quantity of issues sent to prospective new members, various professional groups, and some newspapers.I have not requested, nor am I asking or expecting any re-embursement. The pleasure has been mine. However; the members have now received all the issues that their dues (sent almost two years ago) paid for. I feel the time is prudent to request new membership dues to off-set future expenses. After speaking with various members, and taking into consideration the post office increase April 1, 1988, a sum of $20.00, although low to the point of barely breaking even, should be asked for.
