So here's a stand-by fighter who awaits to see whether he will get a fight that night in Cleveland, 1955 (he didn't) but what is classic is that he is seeing on the TV monitor the fight being televised right next to him. Like watching kids sitting at the same table texting each other today. They will pick virtual over real every time. Daaaaa-aad! It is the solemn duty of every parent, old or young, to insure that you never, ever forget to make every effort to embarrass your child when she or he is old enough to understand they are being embarrassed. It is our God given right and here, Jack Dempsey does just that to his daughter, Barbara on her wedding day. 4 5 Manuel Ortiz – right hand fight worn Ben Lee Amateur BOXING Poster: MEMORAL Manuel BILIA Ortiz vs. FOR Phil Ortiz SALE glove vs. Rush Delma 1-­‐10-­‐1941 Brawley Arena 2-­‐22-­‐1937 $1,000.00 Hollywood Legion $750.00 Lauro Salas fight worn Seyer gloves vs. Fabela Chavez 9-­‐28-­‐1951 $350.00 On site Poster 22” x 27” Joseph Golinkin Artwork – Louis vs. Carnera Manuel Ortiz vs. Enrique Esqueda signed by Golinkin $2,000.00 12-­‐10-­‐1955 México City $300.00 On site Poster 8” x 30” Manuel Ortiz -­‐ large poster/photo autographed Henry Armstrong vs. David Abad by Ortiz, Tommy Farmer $300.00 Baby Arizmendi vs. Frankie Wallace México City 3-­‐31-­‐1935 $1,500.00 Artwork – Oils, 1 of a kind by Ring Mundial Editor/Artist for his magazine: Manuel Ortiz, Kid On site Poster 8” x 30” Gavilan, Panama Al Brown, Jose Ortiz, Juan Zurita, Baby Arizmendi vs. Fidel Labarba Ritchie Lemos, Romeo Anaya, Alphonso Zamora & Battling Shaw vs. Luis Portilla Carlos Zarate, Alphonse Halimi, Nato Marcel.

Or, plan immediately for centralizing the Downsville high school by taking in 17 other adjacent districts and the erection of a Central school likely to cost a quarter of a million dollars Failing to set on foot plans for one or the other of these alternative projects will result, as stated, in loss of the state aid now received and the removal of the trustees”.

Carlton Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2016. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 198 x 129 mm. Language: English . Brand New Book. A few miles from New Orleans, at LaSalle s Landing - in what is now the city of Kenner - stands a life-size bronze statue of two men in combat. One of them is the legendary Gypsy Jem Mace, the first Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the World and the last of the great bare-knuckle fighters. This is the story of Jem Mace s life. Born in Norfolk in 1931, between his first recorded fight, in October 1855, and his last - at the age of nearly 60 - he became the greatest fighter the world has ever known. But Gypsy Jem Mace was far more than a champion boxer: he played the fiddle in street processions in war-wrecked New Orleans; was friends with Wyatt Earp - survivor of the gunfight at the OK Corral (who refereed one of his fights), the author Charles Dickens; controversial actress Adah Mencken (he and Dickens were rivals for her aection); and the great and the good of New York and London high society; he fathered numerous children (the author is his great-great- grandson), and had countless lovers, resulting in many marriages and divorces.Gypsy Jem Mace is not simply a book about boxing, but more a narrative quest to uncover the life of a famous but forgotten ancestor, who died in poverty in 1910.

Warren A Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Human Movement, Performance and Recreation Victoria University 2005 FTS THESIS 344.099 WAR 30001008090740 Warren, Ian J. M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.

Signature:……………………………………… 2 UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX BENJAMIN LITHERLAND SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE FIELD AND THE STAGE: PUGILISM, COMBAT PERFORMANCE AND PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING IN ENGLAND, 1700 – 1980 SUMMARY Speaking to a local radio station in the 1960s, with the glitz, glitter and glamour of televised professional wrestling at its height, one old, retired Cumbrian wrestler declared that ‘wrestling…was a game for the field not the stage’. This statement, condensed and potent as it is, could stand in for the questions this thesis asks and seeks to answer: why did wrestling develop as a professional, performed ‘sporting entertainment’? To answer this question, existing theories of social and sports history are combined with cultural studies methods and applied to Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of fields.
