LOUIS "KID" KAPLAN

Credit for the record of Louis "Kid" Kaplan appearing in this newsletter was inadvertently omitted. It appears courtesy of Bob Yalen. THE EARLY CAREER OF - by Bob Soderman

Fought his first two pro bouts at Bacon's Arena, 49th Street and Wabash Avenue, on 's South Side, for Promoter George Trafton.

Never appeared in a preliminary event; all of his early (and all subsequent) matches were main events. His first two bouts were scheduled for six rounds, with next three being scheduled for eight rounds. First scheduled ten rounder was at , vs. Alex Borchuk, in his sixth pro fight.

In his first 22 matches, scored total of 43 knockdowns. Two foes, Jack Kranz and Hans Birkie, could boast of not having been floored by Louis. Scored most knockdowns, six, in scheduled si,:n round exhibition, vs. Gene Stanton, on May 7, 1935. at Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Outweighed his opponent in 18 of 22 bouts; with only Jack O' Dowd, Stanley Poreda, Biff Bennett and Gene Stanton being heavier than Louis.

Only four men lasted , in the early bouts: Jack Kranz (8 rounds), Adolph Wiater (10 rounds), Patsy Perroni (10 rounds) and Natie Brown (10 rounds).

Received $50.00 for first fight and went on to earn total of $39,614 for his first 22 bouts. In his 23rd bout, vs. , at New York, on June 25, 1935, Louis' purse was $60,433; one - and - a-half times his earnings for all of his previous matches.

Had trouble with several foes; not all of his wins were easy. In second fight, against Willie Davies, Louis forced on defensive in first round when Davies opened up with whirlwind attack. Cut eye in third, plus single knockdown suffered by Davies halts bout. Fourth fight saw hard - punching Jack Kranz rock Louis with hard rights in first round, with only Joe's superior speed and skill enabling him to pile up points and win eight round decision.

Was almost knocked out by rugged Alex Borchuk, at Detroit. In second round Alex exploded on Joe's jaw, breaking one of his molars. Under excruciating pain from his broken tooth, Louis was well behind in the fight until he found the range in the fourth and put Borchuk away. In Joe's next fight, Adolph Wiater survived a first round trip to the canvas and from then on gave Louis a terrific battle; scoring with savage body punches and jarring rights to the head. At the end of eight rounds the fight was even, and only Joe's strong showing in the ninth and tenth got him the nod. His eighth fight proved no picnic either. Artie Sykes landed a pair of rights to Louis' left eye in the first round, which forced him to blink throughout the fight and reduced his vision. Sykes scored with more solid rights in the fourth that had Louis worried. At the end of the sixth a few ringsiders had Sykes slightly in front; but Joe stepped up his pace in the seventh and had Sykes groggy at the bell. In the eighth, Joe wasted no time, stunning Artie and forcing him to the ropes. Then, Joe stepped back for an instant, got the range and shot a right to the jaw, and that was all for Sykes. Louis learned from every fight. Against a wild-swinging Buck Everett, in his fifth match.., Joe was smart and stepped inside and landed a short right, to drop his man. Against Sykes, when he has Artie covering up on the ropes, he doesn't become excited and waste punches. He steps back, cooly, and gets the range.

Champion is at ringside in Chicago, on November 30, 1934, when Louis meets his first top-rated opponent, Charley Massera. Baer had to be impressed as Joe shook off some . good Massera rights in round two and destroyed Charley in the third.

On December 14, 1934, Lee Ramage gave Louis his stiffest test yet. A picture boxer with a beautiful left hand, Lee is also tricky and very clever. Wisely, old , Joe's trainer and teacher, schools him on how to slip a left lead and with his left hand at the same time.

(continued) 2 THE EARLY CAREER OF JOE LOUIS (continued)

The fight attracts 14,988 excited fans, the largest attendance for a Louis fight thus far; who account for a gross gate of $29,986 (equivalent in 1983 dollars to roughly $90,000). For seven rounds Louis tries to connect with a telling . He isn't too successful because Ramage is always going away. Lee is scoring points and giving Joe lots of pointers. The eighth round sees Ramage dance out, as fresh and elusive as ever. After about a minute, Louis cuts off the ring and backs Ramage into the ropes. A pair of left hooks land crushingly to the chin and the elusive Ramage is no longer elusive. Down he goes. But he's back up at nine, snarling defiance. Joe moves in like a panther and lands left and right. Lee hits the deck for another nine count. He's game, he's wobbling, but he beckons Louis to come on. A terrific right to the jaw and Lee is down a third time. He looks to his corner. Get up they say, and Lee does. Louis hooks a left, followed by a right to the chin and Ramage's corner throws in the towel, as he goes down once more.

The February, 1935 issue of Ring Magazine lists Joe Louis in their top ten ratings for the first time; he's rated ninth, with Max Baer, the champion, on top. Of the other ten names on this list, Louis would meet and defeat seven of them (Baer, Carnera, Schmeling, Levinsky, Perroni, Natie Brown and had just beaten Ramage). The other three, whom Louis would never face were: Steve Hamas, and 's Jack Peterson.

Louis racked up six more victories, into April, 1935, after kayoing Ramage in Chicago. He decisioned a cagey Patsy Perroni, scoring three knockdowns; he stopped Hans Birkie in ten, but not before Hans landed a looping left hook early and gave Joe a mouse under the eye; he slaughtered Ramage in two, in a rematch; he annihilated Reds Barry in three heats in ; he had to go the limit against Natie Brown in Detroit, but took every round in giving Brown a shellacking and he knocked out Roy Lazer in Chicago, in three rounds, packing the Stadium with 17,826 fans and earning his largest purse to date - $12,000.

Champion Max Baer had been at ringside for four of these Louis early 1935 triumphs: vs. Perroni, Ramage 6 2 , Barry and Lazer. By now, Baer had signed to defend his title against Braddock and Louis was to meet Carnera, both in June, 1935. The speculation was that Baer would defend his title in September against Louis, if Joe beat Carnera. There was absolutely no doubt in anyone's mind about Baer beating Braddock.

As part of the agreement with Promoter Mike Jacobs, who had signed Louis to fight Carnera, Joe could only engage in exhibitions prior to meeting Primo. Within a span of fifteen days, Louis scored four exhibition in four different cities. On April 22, 1935, Louis took a little over a minute to flatten Biff Bennett, at Dayton, Ohio. On April 25, at Flint, Michigan, Joe toyed with Roscoe Toles for five rounds and then polished him off with a sudden attack in the sixth and last round. On May 3, at Peoria, old foe Willie Davies only lasted two rounds. On May 7, at Kalamazoo, Michigan, veteran campaigner Gene Stanton took a lot of convincing before he got counted out in the third round of a scheduled six. Gene was dropped three times in the first, twice in the second and for the last knockdown, the clincher, in the third.

These first 22 appearances were not given nation-wide press coverage, as Louis' fighting had been confined mainly to Chicago and Detroit. Joe Louis received his first real national, and world-wide exposure and publicity when he faced former champion Primo Carnera, at New York, on June 25, 1935. This match was broadcast over radio, coast - to- coast and was also the first Joe Louis fight to be filmed in its entirety.

In his total career, Joe Louis met more other champions than anyone else in the history of boxing. He met the five champions who held the title prior to himself (Carnera, Boer, Schmeling, Sharkey and Braddock - in order of appearance) and also faced the three champions who held the title after he did: Charles, Walcott and Marciano.

Joe Louis was ranked by Ring Magazine, in their annual ranking issues, for 16 years; from February, 1935 thru February, 1951, only missing February, 1950, which covered the year 1949 when Louis had retired as undefeated champion. After making Ring's monthly top ten ratings for the first time in February, 1935, Louis was then rated for 194 consecutive issues thru March, 1949; his &arch'1, 1949 announced retirement being recognized with the April, 1949 issue.

John Robertson submits these corrections to the 1983 Ring Record Book. The bout betwe'en Donnie La Londe and Jimmy (Schoolboy) Baker on September 30, 1982 won by E.t.a Londe in a 8 round TKO was held in Kitchener, Ontario not Toronto as stated in both men's records. The record of Leroy Pink has an omission that caused John to do some research with startling results. The March 20, 1982 bout is listed as a win over Tony Taylor in Toronto but the number of rounds is not shown. "I checked through the Toronto Globe & Mail sports section for Monday, March 22. 1983 and discovered that Pink's opponent was someone named Mike Esset. In the 1983 Ring Record Book there is a fighter named Mike Essett (with 2 t's) who fits the description of Pink's opponent. This Essett is listed as having a bout in Atlantic City only three days before the Pink fight. He was knocked out in that one by Billy Smith in four rounds. If this is the same Esset(t) that fought in Toronto, he should have been under suspension for a month for being kayoed in his last bout. Here in Canada we get a lot of fighters, particularly from the Indiana area who lie about their records and fight under printed-up names that their managers make up. The fighter named Tony Taylor who was listed as having fought Pink that night lists the bout as L6 in his record in the 1983 RRB. There was no mention of anyone named Tony Taylor in the newspaper account of the fight card of that evening . Something is wrong somewhere. " Although the newspaper does not list the number of rounds fought, there is enough evidence (including a report in the June, 1982 issue of The Ring) to conclude that the bout was a six - rounder. The names of the boxers are still questionable.

TED SANDWINA

The record of Ted Sandwina that appeared in Newsletter # 6 contained a typographical error. The result of the October 14, 1930 bout with Ralph Ficucello should have shown that Sandwina lost a 10 round decision. The Ficucello record that appeared in Newsletter # 8 was correct.

GEORGE NICHOLS

A request was made in a previous newsletter for the real name of George Nichols. Luckett Davis supplies the following information. " It was Philip Nicholas; 'Nicholas' was the anglicized version of the original Italian family name."

BUSHY GRAHAM

Per Luckett Davis - "There were two fighters by the name of Bushy Graham. The bout mentioned in the previous newsletter was for the first one, who was active from about 1914-22. The 'Bushy Graham' who was champion did not meet Bobby Michaels on July 8, 1921.

9 "The Boxing Rambler" - Johnny Shevalla

Ode to Red Smith - Red Smith was my first hero. I got to know and love the extraordinarily good guy. I had the privilege of corresponding with Red. (Imagine me :) The thrills Red gave me are the thrills that stay with you. Harold Keith, when he was the Director of Sports Publicity for the University of told me he always wanted an audience with Red Smith and finally got it in 1962. (Oklahoma vs. Syracuse at Owen Field in Norman.) Keith is an avid Red Smith loyalist and booster. Red Smith, to me, is the epitome of the sportswriter. The unrivaled scribe. Red loved what he did with intensity, youthful enthusiasm and feeling. When Red's father died, Red sent me the following note: "My father was the finest man I ever knew. I only hope to live and die as my dad did." He did. A toast to you, Red - Cheers. "The Flame in the Inn is dimmer tonight" Most fans never get to know and love the kind of people like Red Smith, and Gene Autry. That's the best fringe benefit of this profession - "my dodge". An old Spanish proverb - the 11th Commandment - "Thou Shalt Be Grateful" - I am - Eternally grateful.

Hank Kaplan - dear friend of this tourist, just returned from - God's country - "a truly magnificent part of the world. I had a fantastic six week stay in Western Canada. Promoted the Trevor Berbick vs. Ken Lakusta bout. Good show. Berbick knocked out Lakusta in round 10." "The Boxing Hal I of Fame idea is good. Scranton (Pa.) would be a fine locale."(Mayor James Mc Nulty is very interested to pursue this project to fulfillment for the city of Scranton). "Planning must be sound and scientific but with t he highest integrity in order to keep politics out. It must be accompanied by a structure and housing for boxing memorabilia."

Jack O'Brian - King Features syndicated columnist - radio station WOR N.Y. talk show host - "I am a communicator. Today's sports writers think they are the sport they are writing about."

Paul Harvey - ABC Radio (6-1-83) "Super Star - supercilious superlative - they didn't need them." " was - and is .- the champ."

Bill Gallo - assistant sports editor - N.Y. Daily News - supreme cartoonist "Joe Louis - an American tragedy." "Thomas Hearns... a very, very good fighter."

Howard Cosell - WABC radio N.Y. "Pick up the money and run - that's boxing."

I had the honor to give a talk to the guests and friends at the Shenandoah, Pa. Manor Nursing Home. My subject of the old-timers stories and tributes was very well received. I was asked for a return engagement. One lively youngster at 84 - his wife is a fast 82 - they're married over 60 years - told me, "that was the greatest talk I ever heard." I thanked the ol' R.R. engineer for his high compliment and told him, "It was not my talk - it was the people I was telling you about - they were and are greatness.

Hugh A. Mulligan - A.P. "Mulligan's Stew - columnist "The best sports quote of the year comes from Rodney Dangerfield, 'I went to the fights the other night, and a hockey game broke out.'"

Dale Robertson - television series, "Wells Fargo, , Dynasty" Won 32 sports letters in school. Lost only one of 106 professional fights.

Arthur Joseph Rooney, Sr. - owner, founder Pittsburgh Steelers, pioneer N.F.L. Today's schoolagers would call Art Rooney "square." I call him a beautiful guy and a dear friend. We correspond through the years. Art wanted to excel in athletics. Knute Rockne wanted Rooney to go to Notre Dame. Art won the international amateur litweight and championships. Smooth sailing, from your host and guest, Johnny Shevalla JIMMY JONES - WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION (contributed by Bob Soderman)

Based on an article appearing in of August 1, 1923 both of Vallejo, Calif. and Jimmy Jones of Youngstown, Ohio should be added to the list of world's welterweight champions. The article states that the New York State Athletic Commission at its meeting of July 31st formally accepted Jimmy Jones as world's welterweight champion based on his defeat of Shade in on July 27th. "Before meeting Jones, Shade was recognized here as the champion following the refusal of to recognize Shade's challenge issued through the Commission."

Here are the incomplete records of Emilio Martinez and Clay Turner. Martinez was good enough to get a decision over in 1936, and was rated No. 6 among the light heavies in the May 1936 Ring (p. 50), and yet his record is not to be found in the record books. This version is lacking in a number of dates, as it was compiled largely from Ring Magazine reports. It is hoped that the members can add some dates or additional fights to the records of these two light heavy stars of many years ago. For members interested in the record of Sergeant Sammy Baker (1943 RRB, page 68), some fights reported in the Brooklyn Eagle, apparently not reported in the New York Times: Mar. 18, 1925, Baker scored a knockout over Artie Lee in 2 rounds. There do not appear to be any reports in the Times or the Eagle of any fights on Feb. 28, 1925 with Tommy Jordan or Mar. 14, 1925 with Pete Hartley or May 23, 1925 with Henry Shaw. Perhaps they were postponed or cancelled. There is a report of a fight with Tommy Jordan on Mar. 28, 1925 at Ridgewood Grove, a draw, 12 rounds. The record book says he kayoed Shaw in 6 rounds, but gives no date. It says he kayoed one Jack "Otes" in 6 rounds in 1926, but that probably is an error. He did decisively beat Jack Oakes on Mar. 13, 1926, at New York, but failed to knock him out, in 10 rounds, according to the report. On Aug. 4, 1926 he decisively beat Sailor Darden at N.Y., but failed to knock him out, the number of rounds not stated. It is unfortunate that the New York papers in those days did not always do a good job of re- porting the fights.

Here is the solution to an "identity problem" in Newsletter 1 8: Caveman Fisher and Young Fisher were one and the same (thanks to Barefoot Post).

Some additional information has been supplied by Dave Coapman on the record of Johnny McCoy, from an article by Rocky Scott. McCoy's real name was Clarence Millard, and he was from Ogden, N. Y. In his first fight he kayoed Young Leary on May 2, 1916 in 2 rounds at Rochester. He had a number of other fights which are not in the version of his record in Newsletter # 3, most of them probably no decision affairs. He met Cutie Kaufman, Jimmy Goodrich, Bud Christiano, Pete Zivic, Johnny Rosner, Al Ziemer, Blockie Richards, Mike Vasque, Pete Lolya, Bud Hamilton, Henry De Wanker, Allen Whitlow, Harold Mulberry, Tony Herrera, Britt Gorman, and Freddie Imperial. Also kayoed Dave Adelman in 5. From the record of Pete Zivic (1944 RRB, page 549-550) we find that he is credited with a win over McCoy in 8 on Feb. 1, 1922 at Sebring, Ohio, although, since it was in Ohio, it probably was a no decision affair, with Zivic getting the newspaper decision. The record of Al Ziemer (1924 Everlast, page 278) lists three no decisions with McCoy, a 6 rounder in 1920 and two 8 rounders in 1921. In the record of Blockie

Richards (1923 Everlast, page : 267) there is a 10 round draw in 1919 with McCoy. In the March 1929 Ring Magazine it is stated that McCoy won over Lew Goldberg in Canada, probably at Toronto, and probably in January 1929. In the March 1928 Ring, in Rocky Conti's Rochester notes, it is mentioned that Phil Verdi defeated McCoy at Los Angeles. In the December 1928 Ring, page 27, in Conti's Rochester News, it is stated that Mike Marcells lost a close decision to McCoy at Buffalo on Oct. 22, 1928, the number of rounds not given.

Back in the 1920's there were at least two Bobby 'Browns, three Bobby Burnses, several Young Jack Dempseys and Young Firpos, and Joe Ganses, two Bushy Grahams, two Babe Hermans, two Gorilla Joneses, and three Tommy O'Briens. Little wonder that the fans and record book compilers were confused. 12 ANSWERS (to questions raised in previous newsletters)

YOUNG BOB FITZSIMMONS. At the time that Bob Fitzsimmons, Jr. (Young Bob Fitzsimmons) was active, another fighter was operating under the same name. This was Charley Nashert, also called "Young Fitzsimmons," "Young Bob Fitzsimmons," and "Charley Fitzsimmons." Most of his fights were in the south, southwest, and south central states, but he did have an eastern campaign, in which he mainly used his own name. I hope that this record contains only the actual fights of the son of the great Bob Fitzsimmons, and none of those of Nashert.

SAMMY BAKER. I acknowledge the help of Bruce Harris, who provided me with the dates, locations, and results of Sammy Baker's fights with Artie Lee (March 18, 1925), Sailor Darden (August 4, 1926), and Pete August (September 15, 1926), and who corrected the result of Baker's fight with Henry Shaw (May 23, 1925).
