Norman Selby, whoso fighting name is Kid McCoy, is an American lad, born Twenty six years ago in Rush County, Indiana. He comes of Kentucky stock, his ancestors having lived for generations in the Blue Grass country. Selby is the newest development in the art of pugilism. He knocked Peter Maher out with a little left-hand punch on the side of the chin. The blow travelled not much more than six inches. Selby invented the blow. He calls it the corkscrew punch. He delivers it with either hand, feinting: apparently at random until he has moved the fist up within six inches of its target, then cracking it in with a twist as if he wore turning a corkscrew. The blow starts from the elbow only, and is not followed by the weight of the body. Selby can throw it in equally well whether coming in or running away. 2 Selby is a tall, thin, pale youth, modest in manner and not much of a talker. He has curly brown hair, sallow skin, and hazel eyes that gleam coldly when he is fighting.

  • Early Pioneers of the Negro Leagues
    Early Pioneers of the Negro Leagues: Walter “Slick” Schlichter by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel and Luis Munoz Copyright 2016 Philadelphia Giants (1902) Formed before the start of the 1902 season by Walter Schlichter, Harry Smith and Sol White, the Philadelphia Giants were a force to be reckoned with in black baseball in the East from their very first season. They ended the 1902 season with an impressive won-loss record of 81-43-1 (.653). Philadelphia Giants (1902) (Back row left to right – Farrell, John Nelson, Sol White, Charles “Kid” Carter and William Warwick. Middle row left to right – W. Smith, Frank Grant, Walter Schlichter, William Bell, Harry Smith and Andrew “Jap” Payne. Front row left to right – Day and Peter Burns) Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter Henry Walter “Slick” Schlichter (1866-1944) was the co-founder and owner of the “original” Philadelphia Giants baseball team that played from 1902-1911. From 1904 to 1909 the Philadelphia Giants were one of the best if not the best black baseball team in America. They won four straight “Colored World’s Championships” from 1904-1907. Schlichter started his professional career in journalism. Eventually he became the sports editor and a featured sports writer for the Philadelphia Evening Item in Philadelphia, PA. Walter was not only a journalist but also an avid sportsman. He participated and excelled in swimming, running, boxing and rowing. In his landmark book, Sol White’s History of Colored Baseball with Other Documents on the Early Black Game 1886-1936, White presented a copy of a newspaper article that he had written for the Amsterdam News (New York City) on December 18, 1930.

The general impression among ring followers all over the country is that I am of Jewish parentage. While I have nothing but the highest regard for that race, I am not a member of it.
