HANDSOME JACK THE LAST OF THE FIGHTING TURPINS

Referee had no chance to control great yo-yo battle
16-MAN ABA SQUAD FOR ZAMBIAN TOUR
DICK TIGER, Nigeria's former world middleweight and
light-heavyweight champion, has announced his retirement
f r om the ring for a coaching job with the Nigerian

JUDAH BERGMAN was brought, squalling and kicking,
into the world 61 years ago. Little did his parents, who
were born in Odessa, imagine that this healthy infant
would one day ba known as Jack (Kid) Berg the Whitechapel
Whirlwind whom the writer Louis Golding, wrote
about in his world famous novel " Magnolia Street.

I HAD a call from our receptionist that a Mr McNally,
director of McNally & Shields Ltd. would like to
see me. Never heard of him or them, can you please
find out what he wants?" I asked. Back came the reply
" He says you'll remember him better as ' Gerry McNally
the boxer. Remember him? The man who beat Yolande
Pompey, Alex Buxton etc.? I'll say I did. Gerry had
with him South African promoter Doug Dolan, for
whom he had boxed nine years ago. The reason for the
visit was that Doug needed a London agent. Doug lives
and promotes regularly in Durban, and has a fine welter
prospect in Gert Steyn

THE SHELBY fiasco in the summer of 1923 when
he beat Tommy Gibbons in the Montana oil town
convinced heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey that
as a promoter, Jack Doc Kearns was a damn fine
manager. For the Manassa Mauler, there was only
one promoter. His name was Tex Rickard.
Back in New York, Tex was soon talking Kearns
into a defence of the title in September. He had the
opponent all lined up, a huge, hairy Argentinian
named Luis Angel Firpo who had just put the
crusher on old champ Jess Willard.
Firpo had won his six American fights by knockouts,
Willard and Bill Brennan being his best known
vicitms. The Wild Bull of the Pampas was what
one sportswriter called him and the tag fitted him
like a six-ounce glove.
