Their addresses and description of their boxing interests appear elsewhere in this newsletter. NEW ADDRESS Reg Noble has become our first Texas member. His address is now: P.C. Box 3666, Conroe, Texas 77305. DID YOU KNOW That Primo Carnera, in his 6th year of professional boxing, was 6 inches taller, a 6-5 favorite at &o'clock, and 60 pounds heavier than Jack Sharkey. Carnera scored his 60th career knockout in the 6th round of the 6th bout of the evening in the 6th month of 1933 when he won the heavyweight title from Sharkey. (contributed by Julius Weiner) IBRO MEETING Plans are being made for a meeting of IBRO members. Included on the agenda would be a discussion of goals and direction for the organization and possible joint projects. It is tentatively being scheduled for April, 1984 at an Eastern location. Let's hear your thoughts on this. BIOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY Several IBRO members are now working on biographical essays for the Biographical Dictionary of American Sport. This four-volume work is scheduled for publication by the Greenwood Press in 1986. Prof. David L. Porter, William Penn College, Cskaloosa, Iowa 52577 is the editor. He still needs authors for essays on Paul Berlenbach, Tony Canzoneri, Dixie Kid, Johnny Dundee, Billy Papke, Willie Pep, Tommy Ryan, John Henry Lewis, and Sammy Mandell. If you are interested in contributing to this effort, please contact Prof. Porter at the above address. John Robertson, 17 Fourth Avenue, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada N1S 2C9 is one of the IBRO members currently working on this project. He is looking to obtain some personal data on several boxers (i.e. names and occupations of boxer's parents, boxer's spouse's name, wedding date, names of children, etc.). Boxers he is working on include Max Baer, James J. Braddock, George Foreman, Marvin Hart, Jack Sharkey and Leon Spinks. John Grasso, Box 84, Guilford, NY 13780 is also working on this project and also could use help in obtaining personal data for Jack Britton, Billy Conn, Jack Dillon, Harry Greb, Pete Herman, Doc Kearns, Johnny Kilbane, Kid McCoy, Kid Williams and Tony Zale.

Jackie Robinson; 4. Billie Jean King, 5. "The Boxing Rambler" - Johnny Shevalla Hank Kaplan, historian, Florida promoter, colleague, friend and an IBRO'er corresponds with this tourist. Hank's love for our boxing "dodge" stands out in every note he writes. Kaplan, chock full of info, tells us Tom Heeney visited Hank at his home. Always loves seeing Tom. "Heeney, now 84, is in good shape only somewhat forgetful, expectedly so, considering the tough battles he was in." Al "Bummy" Davis - Hank Kaplan notes Davis was killed in a bar - stick - up. Sports historian James Bus wrote, "Recalling the date around November 20, 1945, Al Davis was killed (shot) in a tavern. Actually he was in a bar/tavern operated by a friend of his, when two hoods came in and held up the place. Bummy, being a boxer, was ready to take the two guys on with his bare fists. As you know, fists can't match bullets. As I recall, Davis was shot a couple of times inside the bar. But that didn't stop him. Al managed to make it outside on the sidewalk and was shot a couple more times and he actually died out on the sidewalk, as I recall." Don Cockell - Gilbert Allnutt, secretary for the Croydon Ex-Boxers Association, London, England, sent us a copy of his April, 1 983 most interesting newsletter. Don Cockell is fondly remembered with admiration. (ed. note - Cockell passed away in London on July 17, 1983 after a long bout with cancer). The Croydon Ex-Boxers Association has been in touch with the Cockell family and many sources are getting together to help financially. Write to them at 25 Melrose Avenue, London SW 16, England. Some of Cockell's great bouts: Feb. 27, 1951 - Lloyd Marshall, London KO 1 July 30, 1954 - Harry Matthews, Seatfle KO 8 May 16, 1955 - Rocky Marciano, San Francisco KO by 9 (heavyweight title) Hyatt Sports Directory - Request a copy - Hyatt Hotels 3424 N. 90th St., Omaha, Nebraska 68134 Larry Holmes - Lucien Rodriguez WBC heavyweight championship bout - Scranton, Pa. Art Rust, Jr. (WABC radio N.Y. sports talk show host - "boxing's historic mind") "Total farce." "Holmes fine heavyweight in any era." Howard Cosell (ABC radio sports) - "That mess in Scranton." Remembering Jack Cuddy - (Jack Cuddy died 9-2-75) Mr. Cuddy covered virtually every major fight for the United Press and U.P.I. from 1 932 until his retirement in 1965. Cuddy started his extraordinarily fine newspaper career with the Milwaukee Journal. Jack had also worked for the Chicago Daily News, the Miami Daily News and the New Orleans Item-Tribune. He joined U.P. as night manager in Atlanta in 1926. Cuddy then transferred to the New York bureau in 1927. The stories he covered included Charles A. Lindbergh's solo flight over the Atlantic. Cuddy then transferred to the sports department of U.P./U.P.I. in 1 932 Sports fans and boxing people will never forget the wonderful by-line by the name of Jack Cuddy. Quotes worth re -quoting: "I have always felt that boxing people have the greatest hearts." - Frankie Ryff "The game fish up-stream" - Grantland Rice "Achieve with honor" - Hollywood (Calif.)

How did the words of Ali impact the development of black America in the twentieth century? What role does Ali hold in history? Ali was a supremely talented artist in the boxing ring, but he was also acutely aware of his cultural significance. The essential question that must be answered is how Ali went from being one of the most reviled people in white America to an icon of humanitarianism for all people. He sought knowledge through personal experience and human interaction and was profoundly influenced by his own upbringing in the throes of Louisville’s Jim Crow segregation.

  • Boxers of the 1940S in This Program, We Will Explore the Charismatic World of Boxing in the 1940S
    Men’s Programs – Discussion Boxers of the 1940s In this program, we will explore the charismatic world of boxing in the 1940s. Read about the top fighters of the era, their rivalries, and key bouts, and discuss the history and cultural significance of the sport. Preparation & How-To’s • Print photos of boxers of the 1940s for participants to view or display them on a TV screen. • Print a large-print copy of this discussion activity for participants to follow along with and take with them for further study. • Read the article aloud and encourage participants to ask questions. • Use Discussion Starters to encourage conversation about this topic. • Read the Boxing Trivia Q & A and solicit answers from participants. Boxers of the 1940s Introduction The 1940s were a unique heyday for the sport of boxing, with some iconic boxing greats, momentous bouts, charismatic rivalries, and the introduction of televised matches. There was also a slowdown in boxing during this time due to the effects of World War II. History Humans have fought each other with their fists since the dawn of time, and boxing as a sport has been around nearly as long. Boxing, where two people participate in hand-to-hand combat for sport, began at least several thousand years ago in the ancient Near East. A relief from Sumeria (present-day Iraq) from the third millennium BC shows two facing figures with fists striking each other’s jaws. This is the earliest known depiction of boxing. Similar reliefs and paintings have also been found from the third and second millennium onward elsewhere in the ancient Middle East and Egypt.

Name: Willie Pastrano Career Record: click Birth Name: Wilfred Raleigh Pastrano Nationality: US American Hometown: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Born: 1935-11-27 Died: 1997-12-06 Age at Death: 62 Stance: Orthodox Height: 6′ 0″ Trainers: Angelo Dundee & Whitey Esneault Manager: Whitey Esneault Wilfred Raleigh Pastrano was born in the Vieux Carrê district of New Orleans, Louisiana, on 27 November 1935. He had a hard upbringing, under the gaze of a strict father who threatened him with the belt if he caught him backing off from a confrontation. 'I used to run from fights,' he told American writer Peter Heller in 1970. 'And papa would see it from the steps. He'd take his belt, he'd say "All right, me or him?" and I'd go beat the kid: His father worked wherever and whenever he could, in shipyards and factories, sometimes as a welder, sometimes as a carpenter. 'I remember nine dollars a week paychecks,' the youngster recalled. 'Me, my mother, my step-brother, and my father and whatever hangers-on there were...there were always floaters in the family.' Pastrano was an overweight child but, like millions of youngsters at the time, he wanted to be a sports star like baseball's Babe Ruth.
