    International Boxing Research Organization Myrrh NPR i129 This newsletter is dedicated to the nucry of Jim Jacobs, who was not only a personal friend, but a friend to all boxing his- torians. 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.

Nel wasn’t an ordinary fighter, he was tall but very thin, gangly, overall Nel had never weighed over ten stone in his entire career, this was mainly due to only having only one sound lung since the age of 2 when he contracted TB. He was a keen footballer and in his early childhood he used to play out on the tough Merseyside streets just like every other young boy but he soon realised he was not strong enough to compete with the other lads, he was pushed and shoved and lacked obvious strength. He was teased about his weight and his looks only for a school bully to invite him down to the Everton Red Triangle Boxing club. It was there, and at the Gordon Institute, he learned to love the sport of boxing and was picking up prizes as early as twelve years old.

Moore: Jack Dempsey in Tampa: Sports and Boosterism in the 1920s JACK DEMPSEY IN TAMPA: SPORTS AND BOOSTERISM IN THE 1920s by Jack Moore On Wednesday afternoon February 4, 1926, heavyweight champion of the world William Harrison “Jack” Dempsey fought seven rounds of exhibition matches with four opponents in an outdoor ring specially constructed on the property of real estate developer B.L. Hamner in what is now the Forest Hills section of Tampa. None of the estimated crowd of 10,000 paid a cent to see the famous conqueror of Jess Willard, Georges Carpentier, Luis Angel Firpo (“The Wild Bull of the Pampas”), and Tommy Gibbons demonstrate some of the skills and spectacular personal appeal that had made him one of the era’s greatest sports heroes. With the passage of time Dempsey would become an authentic legend, a sports immortal. Three other legendary sports’ heroes, Harold “Red” Grange, Jim Thorpe, and Babe Ruth also visited Tampa around the time of Dempsey’s appearance.

  • Our Sporting Heroes
    Our Sporting Heroes The Royal Welch Fusiliers has associations with many successful and elite sportsmen. Some reached the pinnacle of their success when serving with the Regiment; others laid the foundations of later success during their service. A selection of their stories can be found on these pages. Sport has long been important to the British Army, as a means of furthering fitness, team spirit and individual achievement. The RWF Depot Cricket Team, 1898 Prize fights in the Army were established early in the 19th century and a formal School of Army Gymnastics was set up at Aldershot after the Crimean War. Sport was included in 19th century Army reforms designed to improve the lot of the ordinary soldier and as a stimulus to recruiting. Physical Education played an important role in training while other sports were used to bring a sense of discipline to recreation. Soldiers had a lot of recreation time to fill, particularly those on garrison duty abroad. Officers brought an enthusiasm for sport engendered at public schools. Sport was therefore an 1st Battalion RWF Football Team, interest that could be shared by both officers and men - good for inter-rank relationships. Dublin 1912 Football and Rugby Football have traditionally been the most popular sports in the Army reflecting the situation in civilian life. Annual Army Athletics Meetings were held from 1876. After an initial reluctance to embrace the sport, Army Boxing Championships were established from 1892. Indian Army Boxing 2nd Battalion RWF Boxing Team, Hong Kong Championships were in place by 1912. 1937 Sport is still included in routine fitness training and units hold regular sporting events.

I am dubious about many of these contests and I suspect that they may not have taken place at all. Boxing historian Gilbert Odd wrote of Johnny "Round-headed and red-haired, he was on the short side, but was a genious at working his way past defensive props. Once inside he would be extremely busy with both fists, hooking to the body and upper-cutting to the chin. His face held a cheerful look, even under pressure, and as far as sportsmanship went, he was the perfect little gentleman". Johnny will be remembered particularly for his contests with northerner Johnny Cuthbert and with fellow Lambeth boxer Phil Bond.
