Withal he is intelligent and posseses more schooling than the average prize ring champion. He boasts of his record as a mathematician. He began at the bottom of the pugilistic ladder and gradually worked his way up till he reached the pinnacle of success in the ring. Bat has also written a special story - My Ring Experiences With the Negro Population.

Dorgan known as TAD, Sporting Cartoonist of the New York Evening Journal, and Robert Edgren, known as Bob Edgren, Sporting Editor and Cartoonist of the New York Evening World. There are also a few stones of the Battler's career that tell of the thrilling times he has had during his climb to the championship.

Book Synopsis Battling Nelson, the Durable Dane by : Mark Allen Baker
Download or read book Battling Nelson, the Durable Dane written by Mark Allen Baker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar “Battling” Nelson (1882–1954) was perhaps the toughest professional boxer ever to enter the ring. Although a Hall of Fame inductee, Nelson remains a lesser known great of boxing lore. From the beginning of his career at 14, the Danish immigrant presented himself as a man of integrity who never smoked, drank or took a dive. In the ring and in public, Battling Nelson crafted a Renaissance man image as a lightweight champion, reporter, entertainer, real estate mogul, entrepreneur and ladies’ man. The first ever champion in his weight class to mount a comeback, he strove to break new ground (even if he wasn’t always successful). This book tells the story of a ring legend whose endurance was second to none and whose trilogy with Joe Gans is one of the great rivalries in sports history.

Book Synopsis The Fighting Times of Abe Attell by : Mark Allen Baker
Download or read book The Fighting Times of Abe Attell written by Mark Allen Baker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Washington Attell (1883-1970) was among the cleverest, most scientific professional boxers ever to enter the ring. The native San Franciscan fought 172 times--with 127 wins, 51 by knockout--and successfully defended his World Featherweight Champion title 18 times between 1906 and 1912, defeating challengers who included Johnny Kilbane and Battling Nelson. Abe's success inspired his brothers Caesar and Monte to take up the sport--Abe and Monte both held simultaneous world titles for a time. This first ever biography covers Attell's life and career. Growing up poor and Jewish in an predominantly Irish neighborhood, he faced his share of adversity and anti-Semitism. He was charged for alleged involvement in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. The charges were dropped but Attell was branded for the remainder of his life.
Book Synopsis The Nelson-Wolgast Fight and the San Francisco Boxing Scene, 1900-1914 by : Arne K. Lang
Download or read book The Nelson-Wolgast Fight and the San Francisco Boxing Scene, 1900-1914 written by Arne K. Lang and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the early years of the 20th century, San Francisco promoters served up boxing's grandest spectacles. On February 22, 1910, a crowd of more than 15,000 braved chilly, rainy conditions to witness one such match, pitting lightweight champion "Battling" Nelson against Ad Wolgast. That epic battle came to stand virtually unchallenged as the most brutal fight of all time. This volume recaptures that historic fight while vividly illuminating the geographic, historic, and political forces that made it all possible. In chronicling these colorful boxers and their vibrant era, this work also reveals the dangers faced by workman pugilists like Nelson and Wolgast, making their tale, at its heart, a cautionary one.

Download or read book Tex Rickard written by Colleen Aycock and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether opening saloons, raising cattle, or promoting sporting events, George Lewis "Tex" Rickard (1870-1929) possessed a drive to be the best. After an early career as a cowboy and Texas sheriff, Rickard pioneered the largest ranch in South America, built a series of profitable saloons in the Klondike and Nevada gold rushes, and turned boxing into a million-dollar sport. As "the Father of Madison Square Garden," he promoted over 200 fights, including some of the most notable of the 20th century: the "Longest Fight," the "Great White Hope," fight, and the famous "Long Count" fight. Along the way, he rubbed shoulders with some of history's most renowned figures, including Teddy Roosevelt, Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson, John Ringling, Jack Dempsey, and Gene Tunney. This detailed biography chronicles Rickard's colorful life and his critical role in the evolution of boxing from a minor sport to a modern spectacle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first filmed prizefight, Veriscope's Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight (1897) became one of cinema's first major attractions, ushering in an era in which hugely successful boxing films helped transform a stigmatized sport into legitimate entertainment. Exploring a significant and fascinating period in the development of modern sports and media, Fight Pictures is the first work to chronicle the mostly forgotten story of how legitimate bouts, fake fights, comic sparring matches, and more came to silent-era screens and became part of American popular culture.
