  • I ´Due´ John B. Kelly
    La leggenda dei Kelly di Claudio Loreto z John Brendan Kelly, il “muratore” Lo statunitense John Brendan Kelly è stato il primo canottiere a collezionare tre medaglie d’oro olimpiche. Più che a tale primato, tuttavia, la sua fama – che andò decisamente al di là dell’ambito sportivo – è legata al mito americano del “self-made man”, da egli pienamente incarnato. Ultimo di dieci figli di emigrati irlandesi, John (detto anche Jack) nacque a Filadelfia il 4 ottobre 1889.1 Muratore, sviluppò una grande passione per lo sport; dopo qualche esperienza nel rugby, nella pallacanestro e nella pallanuoto, approdò al canottaggio, nel quale presto si affermò - per i colori del Vesper Boat Club di Filadelfia 2 - come il miglior “sculler” 3 degli Stati Uniti. La I Guerra Mondiale lo obbligò a sospendere la voga, arruolandolo nelle fila dell’esercito come soldato semplice. Durante la ferma in Francia Kelly prese parte - nella categoria “pesi massimi” - al torneo militare americano di pugilato, conseguendo dodici vittorie consecutive prima di essere bloccato da un infortunio. Il torneo sarebbe infine stato vinto da Gene Tunney, futuro campione del mondo professionista; in seguito Kelly avrebbe canzonato Tunney: “Non fosti fortunato, allorchè mi si ruppe una caviglia?”. Congedato al termine del conflitto con il grado di tenente, Kelly avviò a Filadelfia un’impresa edile che lo avrebbe poi reso miliardario; contemporaneamente riprese in mano i remi, ripristinando negli U.S.A. il proprio predominio nella specialità dello “skiff” 4. Nel 1920 avanzò richiesta di partecipazione alla “Diamond Sculls”, la prestigiosissima gara dei singolisti in seno alla “Henley Royal Regatta” (all’epoca la più importante manifestazione remiera annuale del mondo).

Two separate but related events were the focus of their attention. The first of these two groups were intent upon competing in the Masters Eight event at the 2003 IRA Regatta in Camden, NJ; the second had as their goal maximizing their class’s participation in MIT’s 2003 Reunion Row a week later. I had rarely experienced anything quite like it, and I rather early on conceived the idea for two projects that will, I hope, become worthy keepsakes for all who participated in them, while at the same time benefit the Friends of MIT Crew, of which I am a Director.

  • Boathouse Row: Waves of Change in the Birthplace of American Rowing
    Excerpt • Temple University Press ERNESTINE BAYER Women and Their Fight for the Right to Row Before Ernestine Bayer got it into her head that she had a perfect right to row; before she arm- twisted her competitive- rower husband in the 1930s to find a way to get on the river; before she and other strong- willed Phila- delphia women passed the baton, one to the next, in a decades- long campaign to upend the no- women- here culture of Boat house Row and American rowing; before all of that, a few— very few— women rowed for sport, and when they did, they were mostly regarded as spectacles. 3 In 1870, Lottie McAlice and Maggie Lew, two Pittsburgh 16- year- olds, raced each other for 1 ⁄8 miles on the Mononga- hela River in what was touted as the “first female regatta.” An estimated 8,000 to 12,000 onlookers crowded the shores to watch the oddity, including press from Chicago, Cincinnati, and New York. McAlice, the victor in just under 18 minutes 10 seconds, won a prize of a gold watch. On New York City’s East River that same year, five teenage girls wearing dresses competed in a three- mile race in heavy 17- foot workboats as spectators lined the banks “for a considerable distance,” with the water “fairly covered” with plea sure boats, barges, and steamships. Excerpt • Temple University Press “Ladies Boat” II Another sketch recorded in the Button’s social logbook shows a T- shirted Bachelors’ rower ferrying his elegantly dressed date. It is titled “Sans souci,” or “No worries.” Logbook, the Button, May 1884.
