OBITUARIES B ob Soderman makes the following excellent suggestion: " It would be a good idea to ask all of the members to send in clippings on the deaths of all boxers. I would be very interested in this news. For those boxers whose records I have submitted: Cowboy Eddie Anderson, Johnny McCoy, KO Christner, etc., are they still living? IBRO should be a clearing house for this information. When I do my microfilm studies, I always try to include deaths of boxers when I see them. If all members reported on all boxer deaths in their own local newspapers, this would be very worthwhile. RECORDS Records appearing in this newsletter were compiled by the following individuals: Ritchie Fontaine - Jack Kincaid Johnny Kirk - Luckett Davis Lim Kee Chan - Lim Kee Chan (obtained by Tan Wee Eng) Tony Marino - Luckett Davis Joe McAuliffe - Bill Schutte As always, special thanks to Luckett Davis Freddie Miller - John Grasso for reviewing the records submitted and Jimmy Smith - Laurence- Fielding helping with the typing. Johnny Van Heest - Bill Schutte Freinteict Wralrir.g. - S I 20 SECOND COUNT John Murphy, 133 Wellington Rd., Morley, West Australia 6062, is interested in what he can find out"about a curious 20-second knockout rule that seems to have operated in Illinois, and perhaps other parts, around 1934. Some of Joe Louis' early opponents were given counts of 20 seconds before being declared knockout losers. The count seems to have applied when a fighter was knocked clear out of the ring. How long did this rule operate and where?" JOHN WILKINSON UPDATE Newsletter #17 contained the complete amateur boxing record of IBRO member John Wilkinson along with some information on the 1984-85 Central Connecticut State University boxing team. Some additions to that follow: 3/5/85 Vinny Lucas, Lowell, Mass. W 3 semi-finals, NeW England GG - 156 lbs 3/6/85 Ray Daniels, Lowell, Mass L 3 finals, N.E. G.G. Th e CCSU team finished 3rd nationally this season behind the U.S. Air Force Academy and West Chester University. The U.S. Military Academy at West Point finished fourth. John Callas won the National Collegiate Boxing Assn. title at 125 lbs. on April 12 and 13 in West Chester, PA. LIM KEE CHAN IBRO was able to obtain a self-compiled record of Singapore boxer Lim Kee Chan in his own handwriting through the efforts of his good friend Tan Wee Eng. The record appears on page Wee Eng comments, "The sad thing is that most boxers' fighting records are not accurate ... reference hi remarks 'no cuttings, no dates & cannot remember Wha4 have you to say of his opponents 1) Fire Brigade Department Kid . presumably the chappie worked in the Fire Department 2) Speedy 7- Up ... this guy must have been a 7-Up drink addict 3) Fighting Kopi - Oh... Kopi-Oh is Black Coffee in local coffee or drink shops." DONNY POOLE and LOUIE ESPINOZA David Wolf, manager of welterweight Donny Poole and featherweight Louie Espinoza, as well as Ray Mancini, has forwarded 22 pages of clippings on Poole and Espinoza along with their complete records. In addition to the usual won-lost information the number of knockdowns scored in each fight is included. In Poole's first 27 fights (17 knockouts) through May 10, 1985, he has scored 38 knockdowns - an incredible average of 1.4 per bout. Espinoza, through Feb. 16, 1985 has recorded 13 knockdowns in his 15 bouts. Copies of the above records and clippings are available on reauest from IBRO. SOUTH AMERICAN BOXING B ob Diamond writes, " I recall reading that Eder Jofre was ahead on all three cards for a bout vs. Manny Elias but• that a fighter had to be ahead by at least three points in a non -title fight to gain a decision, otherwise the fight was a draw. Do you know if this is true? I wonder since Jofre had three draws in his early record, were they fights he was winning? Also, Carlos Monzon had 8 or 9 draws. Was this rule in effect in Argentina a; well as Brazil? Perhaps someone familiar with South American boxing could Find out who wris actuaLy_the winners in these eaily Jofre and Monzon fights." 5 Lou ie Espinoza (left) vs. Raul Albaladejo, Madison Square Garden, 12/1 4/84 Photo: Shelton Minor i Donny Poole stops Leonardo Bermudez, Reno, Nevada, 2/16/85 — Phuio Liedit: Robert Bumpers 6 "Th e Boxing Rambler" - Johnny Shevalla "Th e greatest talent of all is sheer confidence". - Jim Bishop (King Features syndicated columnist, story teller. Calls himself - a 'reporter.") John Schulian, columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News, received the 13th annual Na' Fleischer award for excellence in boxing journalism from the Boxing Writers Association of America. The award honors the late founder - editor- publisher, Nat Fleischer, of boxing's bible - Ring magazine. Fleischer - the guiding light of Ring 1922 - 1972. Ken Norton, Jr. - The hero of UCLA's 17-14 victory over California (Oct., 1984) was linebacker K en Norton, Jr., son of former heavyweight champion Ken Norton. Freddie Steele - Hank Kaplan, boxing's rememberer, recalls seeing Steele lose to Fred Apostoli in Madison Square Garden. (The old Garden on 8th Avenue). Hank felt very sorry for Steele that night. The old Garden was the Mecca for boxing. This tourist still carries the picture - standing in the front of the marquee - a shrine . It was magic : Nat Fleischer had his Ring headquarters in the Garden building. Han k Kaplan writes, "Beau Jack is in the gym everyday and looks very well. He is training heavyweight Jeff Sims." Beau Jack is one of my very favorite boxing champions. Stillman's Gym - Located near the old Madison Square Garden on Eighth Avenue. Some 35,000 boxers treandd in Lou Stillman's Gym during its 35 years of service to boxing. Art Rust, Jr. - Radio WABC, NY talk show host - "Joe Louis fought for the Army relief fund, Ncrry relief fund, and that was never brought up for credit by the government." "Al Singer is the only champion to have won and lost the lightweight title in one round knockouts." "July 17, 1930: ,vton lightweight title KO Sammy Maiden 1:46 of the 1st round.

  • Harry Wills and the Image of the Black Boxer from Jack Johnson to Joe Louis
    Harry Wills and the Image of the Black Boxer from Jack Johnson to Joe Louis B r i a n D . B u n k 1- Department o f History University o f Massachusetts, Amherst The African-American press created images o f Harry Will: that were intended to restore the image o f the black boxer afterfack fohnson and to use these positive representations as effective tools in the fight against inequality. Newspapers high­ lighted Wills’s moral character in contrast to Johnsons questionable reputation. Articles, editorials, and cartoons presented Wills as a representative o f all Ameri­ cans regardless o f race and appealed to notions o f sportsmanship based on equal opportunity in support o f the fighter's efforts to gain a chance at the title. The representations also characterized Wills as a race man whose struggle against boxings color line was connected to the larger challengesfacing all African Ameri­ cans. The linking o f a sportsfigure to the broader cause o f civil rights would only intensify during the 1930s as figures such as Joe Louis became even more effec­ tive weapons in the fight against Jim Crow segregation. T h e author is grateful to Jennifer Fronc, John Higginson, and Christopher Rivers for their thoughtful comments on various drafts of this essay. He also wishes to thank Steven A. Riess, Lew Erenberg, and Jerry Gems who contribu:ed to a North American Society for Sport History (NASSH) conference panel where much of this material was first presented.

For the annual Blessing of the Fishing Waters, the statue of the Madonna di Sciacca was carried by society members to Boston Harbor to the waterfront where a blessing was made by Fr. Brian on the site of the former Italian fl eet in Boston Harbor. A special tribute was made this year to the late “Capt” Ray Bono with speeches by family members.

  • Myrrh NPR I129 This Newsletter Is Dedicated to the Nucry of Jim
    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.
