  • Name: Stanley Ketchel Career Record: Click Alias: the Michigan Assassin
    Name: Stanley Ketchel Career Record: click Alias: The Michigan Assassin Birth Name: Stanislaus Kiecal Nationality: US American Birthplace: Grand Rapids, MI Born: 1886-09-14 Died: 1910-10-15 Age at Death: 24 Height: 5' 9 Managers: Joe O'Conner, Willus Britt Career Overview One of the real “characters” of boxing, Ketchel was a fearless man whose personality was perfectly reflected by his in-the-ring savagery and dramatic life. The first two-time middleweight champ of the gloved era, he is also considered to be possibly the hardest hitting of all middleweight champions. An unpolished brawler who loved to test an opponent’s will to fight, the “Michigan Assassin” faced four hall of famers during his career, some of history’s best middleweights, light heavyweights, and heavyweights included among them. Nat Fleischer, the late ring historian and founding editor of The Ring magazine, considered Stanley to be the greatest middleweight in history. Early Years Born Stanislaus Kiecal to Polish immigrants in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Ketchel was a rough, tough brawler even as a youth. He avoided school, instead falling in with a gang of street kids and often getting into fist fights. At twelve years old, he ran away from home, becoming a child hobo. As a teenager he lived in Butte, Montana, where he found employment first as a hotel bellhop and then as a bouncer. This profession obviously led to many scraps that established his reputation as the best fist fighter in town. Soon enough sixteen-year-old Stanley was performing in backroom boxing matches with older locals for twenty dollars a week.

  • Larry Lock's 40+ Page History of Kewanee
    KEWANEE—1854-2004 By Larry Lock (Editor’s Note: This summary history of Kewanee appeared originally in the Henry County Genealogical Society’s “Family Histories of Henry County,” published in 2000. It is included here with the approval of the society. The author, who is president of the Kewanee Historical Society and curator of its Robert and Marcella Richards Museum, has made some corrections and additions to the original work.) BEGINNING AND OVERVIEW The founding of Kewanee in 1854 was the result of two separate developments: the establishment of the colony or village of Wethersfield some 18 yeArs before KewAnee And the building of A railroAd from Mendota to GAlesburg in 1854. Wethersfield was founded in 1836 by the Connecticut Association as part of a New England movement to encourage its Protestant peoples to populate the northern portion of Illinois ahead of Roman Catholic immigrants and Southern pro-slavery elements. The Connecticut Association was started by Rev. Caleb Jewitt Tenney, the pastor of the Wethersfield, Connecticut Congregational Church. Some 50 stockholders pooled $25,000 and sent Rev. Ithamar Pillsbury, the founder of Henry County’s first town of Andover in 1835, Col. Sylvester Blish and Elizur Goodrich to purchase land somewhere close to Andover. Some 16,000 acres in what are now Wethersfield and Kewanee Townships were purchased and a town site was selected and named Wethersfield. The first settlers arrived late in 1836, others followed to the village in the wilderness, and by the early 1850’s some 500 to 1000 people occupied the village and immediate surroundings. These Wethersfielders were true pioneers.

  • Analysis of Male Boxers' Nicknames
    THE JOURNAL OF TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC AND ACADEMIC PURPOSES Vol. 6, No 1, 2018, pp. 126 UDC: 81‟1/‟4:796 https://doi.org/10.22190/JTESAP1801001O ANALYSIS OF MALE BOXERS’ NICKNAMES Darija Omrčen1, Hrvoje Pečarić2 1University of Zagreb, Faculty of Kinesiology, Croatia E-Mail: [email protected] 2Primary school Andrija Palmović, Rasinja, Croatia E-Mail: [email protected] Abstract. Nicknaming of individual athletes and sports teams is a multifaceted phenomenon the analysis of which reveals numerous reasons for choosing a particular name or nickname. The practice of nicknaming has become so embedded in the concept of sport that it requires exceptional attention by those who create these labels. The goal of this research was to analyse the semantic structure of boxers’ nicknames, i.e. the possible principles of their formation. To realize the research aims 378 male boxers’ nicknames, predominantly in the English language, were collected. The nicknames were allocated to semantic categories according to the content area or areas they referred to. Counts and percentages were calculated for the nicknames in each subsample created with regard to the number of semantic categories used to create a boxer’s nickname and for the group of nicknames allocated to the miscellaneous group. Counts were calculated for all groups within each subsample. Key words: hero, association, figurative language, figures of speech 1. INTRODUCTION Are nicknames only arbitrary formations of little account or are they coinages contrived meticulously and with a lot of prowess? Skipper (1989, 103) alleges that nicknames “often serve as a miniature character sketch”. When discussing nicknames in baseball, Gmelch (2006, 129) elucidates that sobriquets frequently communicate something about the players using them, e.g.

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.
