  • Career Summary
    Name: Lew Jenkins Career Record: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=009466&cat= boxer Alias: Sweetwater Swatter Birth Name: Verlin E. Jenkins Nationality: US American Birthplace: Milburn, TX Hometown: Sweetwater, Texas, USA Born: 1916-12-04 Died: 1981-10-30 Age at Death: 64 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 8″ Reach: 173 Trainer: Charley Rose Managers: Hymie Caplan & Willie Ketchum Career Summary Lew Jenkins was a vicious puncher, despite his lanky build. He began his boxing career in carnivals. After winning the World Lightweight Title with a knockout over Lou Ambers, Jenkins's life outside of the ring spun out of control. He drank excessively, stayed up all night, and spent money on fast cars and motorcycles--wrecking several of them and injuring himself in the process. Jenkins eventually lost his title on a 15-round decision to Sammy Angott, then he went on a long losing streak and fell completely out of the ranks of the world's top lightweights. Jenkins served in the United States Coast Guard during World War Two, participating in troop deployment, and in the thick of several enemy fires during the Allied invasions of North Africa and Europe. (He had been a member of the American troop D-Day invasion.) He attempted a comeback after WWII, but was unable to regain his status as a top lightweight and welterweight. He retired from boxing in 1950. While serving in the U.S. Army's Second Infantry Division during the Korean War, he was awarded several medals (including the Silver Star) after saving the lives of fellow soldiers from enemy fire.

  • 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.

  • Sugar Ray Robinson
    SPORTING LEGENDS: SUGAR RAY ROBINSON SPORT: BOXING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1940 - 1965 Walker Smith Jr. (May 3, 1921 - April 12, 1989), better known in the boxing world as Sugar Ray Robinson, was a boxer who was a native of Detroit, Michigan. Robinson is the holder of many boxing records, including the one for the most times being a champion in a division, when he won the world Middleweight division title 5 times. He also won the world Welterweight title once. Robinson is regarded by many boxing fans and critics as the best boxer of all time. His supporters argue that while Muhammad Ali did more for the sport on a social scale, Robinson had a better style. Ali has said without hesitation many times that he feels that Robinson is the greatest fighter of all time, Ali simply considers himself to be the greatest Heavyweight Champion. During the 1940s and 1950s, Robinson appeared several times on the cover of Ring Magazine, and he joined the Army for some time. Robinson made his debut in 1940, knocking out Joe Eschevarria in 2 rounds. He built a record of 40 wins and 0 losses before facing Jake LaMotta, in a 10 round bout. The bout, which was portrayed in the Hollywood movie Raging Bull (which was based on LaMotta's life), was the second of six fights between these opponents, and LaMotta dropped Robinson, eventually beating him by decision. Robinson had won their first bout and would go on to win the next four. Between his debut fight and the second LaMotta bout, Robinson had also beaten former world champions Sammy Angott, Fritzie Zivic and Marty Servo.

  • Lou Gehrig the Last Time Lou Gehrig’S Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score
    A Schott From The Bleachers Lou Gehrig The Last Time Lou Gehrig’s Name Appeared in a Baseball Box Score by Arthur O. Schott The following are excerpts from the Kansas City Times covering the game of Monday, June 12, 1939 – an exhibition contest at Kansas City. This was the last time Lou Gehrig’s name appeared in a baseball box score. “And all the Yankee notables performed at least for part of the game. The starting lineup found Joe DiMaggio playing in center, Bill Dickey behind the bat and Frank Crosetti at short. You even found the venerable Lou Gehrig, most popular of all the Yankees, at first base. “Lou played by popular demand. He hadn’t intended to play at all, but Lou is an obliging fellow and so he accommodated. After taking one turn at the bat in the second, when he grounded to Priddy, he retired in favor of Babe Dahlgren. But he had shown himself and the crowd roared to his name. “Vance pushed a hit past the slow-moving Gehrig and McCullough scored. “Lou Gehrig remained here and leaves this morning for the Mayo clinic at Rochester, Minn., where the veteran intends to undergo a physical examination. “Gehrig made his first appearance in a game since he dropped out of the Yankee line-up May 2.
