P 'Y- Su 5 t was nearly a hundred years McCan- Southern families, who were - and assault. and was only released , THE GUARDIAN. vVvvv.an,s v the eighteenth century. boxing had established for itself a prom- inent, if not an entirely respect- able place in the field of British sports. Boxing in America did not ach- ieve a real place in the sun for more than one hundred years af- ter its beginning in England. The people were too busy trying to wrest a subsistence from the "stern and rockboiind land," and primeval forests. The first delin- ite bid for a place in the pugillstic sun was made in 1820 by Tom Molyiieux. a Negro cx-slave. This after Jim Figg first proclaimed himself boxing champion of England. It is highly probable that boxing first came to this country by the med- ium ol the sons of prominent the rich plantation owners-the aris- tocrats of the new British colon- ies. The sons of those families in- variably made trips to Europe to- finish their education. In the days of ruffles and raplcrs no young scion of a Virginia planter was considered to have proper polish until he visited England. and rub- bed shoulders with the nobility and gentry of the motherland. . . . The youngsters went to the box- iiig matches at Eroughtonls and other arenas, or sneaked off with their noble friends to watch a bruising match in some "bully's half acre"', with one eye on the ring and the other on the lookout for a possible incursion of police. What is more likely than that those young bloods returned to their native land desiring to con- tinue their enjoyment of boxing contests. And what more likely pugillstlc material could they find than the Negro laborers on their plantations. It was the easiest thing imaginable to work up riv- alry betwccn champions of neigh- boring plantations. Respective owners of rival slave gladiators would bet heavily on representat- ives of their plantations. It is a matter of record that Tom Moi- yneux's father and grandfather, both slaves, had been famous fighting men in Virginia. Therefore it is reasonable to ss- sume that boxing in America be- gall among the slaves of the Southern states and spread grad. ually northward, as the colored fighters moved up and became free men. and could earn is living better than they could in compe- tition with slave labor. 0 I I The spread of boxing was very gradual. The first fight of record took place in law. In 1839 Dear Burke, the champion of England visited America and found very little opposition. He toyed with a 19W men. but none showed evid- ence of pugllistlc skill. Ben Count found the same conditions in 1340 and 184-1. Ben took back home to England one American giant. Weighing 300 pounds. whom he billed as champion of the world though at the time he had never encased in a. single ring contest. The point to be noted is, that in prize ring developments, America lassed nearly one hundred years behind pliingland. We did not ge started until the British ring was a well established institution. We did not establish the various weight classes until long after they were recognized in England. We did not shift from the bare-knuckle London prize ring rules to the glov- ed contests of the Queeiisbury rules until twenty years after the former had been declared vcrboten in Brit- ain. As a matter of fact. the prize ring in this country didn't become established until the middle of the nineteenth century. The prize fighting realm then labored under the same social disability as beset the sport in England before Broughton's time. The bare-knuck- lo days of the prize rings in Amer- ica were distinctly a bad time. The lights were brutal in themselves - their associations were vicious - even criminal. Prize fighting was outlawed. Its patrons had come from the lowest strata of moiety. A great many of the early bare- knuckle champions were criminals. Yankee Sullivan, the first champ- ion of America was an escaped convict from Australia. 0 I 0 Joe cobum ended in jail for the killing of a. policeman. xllmmy El- liot spent years in jail for robbery to fight Dwyer for the champion- ship. All the associations of the game were rotten. Every prize fight was the signal for an assem- bly of pickpockets, enticed by the chance to ply their nefarious trade, Anyone who talks of the good old days of real fighting is absolutely wrong. There were far greater chs for orookedness- and human nature being what it Ring Reminiscences -- Fights and Fighters - 5 i (By JAMES PENDIEGASTI i From all this it is reasonably tion toward stricter rules tended evident that in the later half of to lesson the chance for more No Agreement with I crooked yellow streak their anstomies-and the lure of easy money. The game may not be one hundred per cent Simon pure yet. but it is vastly improv- ed since the reputed "good old days." Those were really "bad old days," and the sport of boxing lived through them because it had the inherent, primordial rough virtues. Much of the credit for establish- ing glove boxing, and putting it on a high pedestal in the "realm of sport." belongs to John Lawrence Sullivan. who started as a bare knuckle fighter and ended as a firm adherent of the Queensberry code. Sullivan, after one of his early vic- tories. declared that he would never again fight with bare knuck- les. His opponent: might do so. he said, but; he would use gloves. Fair promises are often made in the exuberance of the occasion. As late as 1889 he fought Jake Kilrain in that with Corbett, was fought with five ounce gloves. under the Mar- quis of Queensberry rules. With the coming of gloves. box- ing in this country was placed on a more wholesome and respectable plane. Under the bare-knuckle rules of the ring boxing had been outlawed in every state. When glove contests came in, Cal- ifornia. promptly passed a law per- niltting boxing matches. Louisiana did likewise a year later. Gradually the other states came in line as it became evident that boxing with gloves could be a decent sport for decent men to watch.
