Ripple & Curran Manage the Greatest Boxing Stable in the West - Directing Fighters with a Future Who Fight. With a list of 7 boxers each with a short biography. c.1920s. General light wear with some old folds pinholes normal aging minor closed tears at edges etc. the Walker broadside may have some manuscript additions; both pieces very good. The Walker broadside is significant in that Black heavyweights were essentially eliminated from fighting for the heavyweight championship. After Jack Johnson white America wanted no part of a black heavyweight until Joe Louis came on the scene in the 1930s. It is doubtful Walker's record would have made a top ten fighter but he did fight George Godfrey. The second broadside features a list of western prizefighters including Cowboy Billy Owens a Native American heavyweight. </p>

This is an exchange ticket that allows the holder to exchange it for This is a complimentary exchange ticket that allows the holder to exchange it for a $16.50 fight ticket for $4.00 in taxes at the Morrison Hotel Room 340. This would be the "Cinderella Man's" last title fight. He put up a valiant fight and even dropped Louis early on but would end up getting knocked out in the eight round. Braddock would have a great early career but injuries and a string of loses almost took him out of the fight game until he made a remarkable comeback that won him the heavyweight championship from Max Baer. Unfortunately Louis put an end to that in the next fight.</p>

Louis is pictured in in two photos one a promotional pose with Jim Braddock and a second picture of Louis outside the ring as the ref counts out one of his opponents. This film was to be shown at the Dixie Theatre and the fights were to include his battles with Baer Carnera Levinsky Schmeling and Braddock. While the small poster is not dated it is probably before the second Schmeling fight which he won by first round knockout since there is no reference to it.</p>

[Irish Pride - Boxing - John Morrissey] Peter Brereton
Broadside The Glorious Victory of Morrisey Over the Rusian Sailor. Fought in Terradel Euago South American for 60000 dollars sic
Dublin: P. Brereton Printer 1867. Very Good. Dublin: P. Peter Brereton Printer ca. 1867. First Edition. Pictorial broadside 28.25x11cm; woodcut illustration followed by a ballad. Mild rubbing and toning to edges; Very Good and sound. <br /> <br /> John Morrissey 1831-1878 known as Old Smoke was an Irish-American politician bare-knuckle boxing champion and criminal. While this fight at Tierra del Fuego is not historically verified clearly Morrissey was the model for the hero. Born in County Tipperary Ireland his family emigrated to the U.S. when Morrissey was still a child. Among the exploits that would make him a folk hero in Ireland were his winning of the heavyweight boxing championship fighting and possibly murdering Bill the Butcher and testifying against Boss Tweed and winning a State Senate seat on an anti-Tammany platform. A version of this ballad is included in Sandburg's The American Songbag. <br /> <br /> Brereton printed a number of these Irish Street Ballads which were cheaply and carelessly printed as they are riddled with errors. "A closer investigation reveals the blemishes of composition—inverted letters multiple type-faces broken sorts uneven leading etc. Clearly neither the printer nor reader cared much for these minor details. The broadsheets were printed quickly and inexpensively" Kuhn. A lovely survival of Irish street literature highlighting the connection between the country's print trade and its robust oral tradition. <br /> <br /> Andrew Kuhn "Reading Room Log: Brereton Broadsides." From the John J. Burns Library Blog accessed online. P. Brereton Printer unknown
