Ore Sport Graphs Billy Hulen cays: Negro Domination Of Fistic World Late Development We agree perfectly with Mr. Bar ney Cody of Jacksonville, who writes a nice letter stating that he "don t think the colored boxers are titled to all the laurels.'1 And like Mr. C:dy, we appreciate the fact that Roooit U PltzsimmonB, back In thotw early days of the pugilistic Indus try, was quite h fighter. In fvot, In our book, Pit?. can be the num ber one mitt sllnger as Ion? as Billy llulcn. fiardlesa of the Joe Louis' and he wants, re Henry Armstrong's, Al Hostaks of the present generation. No sir, not by a long shot do the Negro boys .deserve all the applause end honor awarded prizefighters by the sport-loving public. Far every one Joe Louis, there are a dozen Jack Dempseys, Gene Tunneys, Jim Coi- betts and Bob Fltnilmmons, for every Henry Armstrong there are scores of white welterweights, lightweights and featherweights who have shown down through the years they had everything It takes. However, at this time, colored liojs do Just about rule the roost of boxing, so fur as rliamplnn slilps In the right weight divis ions are concerned. Five of those eight crowns are perched upon the heads of three Negro battlers, and as we pointed out In Oils col umn recently, there has never be fore been such a Negro domina tion of the top spots ns now held by the Mwtsrit. Louis, Lewis and Armstro.f , Armstrong ta also the first man Jr history to hold three titles simultan eously. Mr. Cordy writes that "lanky Bob Fltzfllmmons wore the throe-way crown when he beat Jack Dompsej "The Nonpareil" In San Francisco tor the welterweight championship, Jim Hall in New Orleans tor the middle weight and Jim Carbett in Novnaa for the heavyweight." Now, It Is trua that Fits, during his career, won; three crowns, but not simultaneously. according to Frank O. Menkc'i All Sports Record book. And, the titles weren't the weltor, middle and heavy, but the middle, light-heavy and heavy, so says the record book. PlttJ copped the heavyweight cham pionship on March 17, 1807, by knock ing out Jim Corbett In 14 rounds. Ho won the light heavyweight title Novomber 4, 1003, by outpointing Oeorge Gardner In So rounds, and won the middleweight diadem by stopping the original Jack Dempsey In New Orleans, January 14, 1801. Fits never lost the middleweight title, retiring from that division to fight bigger men and leaving Kid Mc Coy, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien and Tommy Ryan to squabble among themselves for the championship However, he did lose the- llght-hcavy-welght belt December 20, 1006, In Sun Francisco, when he was belted out by Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. And. he tost the heavy wctrfht title June B. 1809. at Conoy Island, N. Y., by a knockout to Jim Jeffries In 11 heats. If the dates, as given In Mfiikc's record hook, are rnrrect, Fit couldn't have held the three rhaiuplitiiKhlps sliiiiiltniieiiuly. Because he didn't win (lie llght heavy weight title until V.w four years after losing the heavy weight crown to Jerrrles. Even thoxigh Fits didn't bold three crowns at the same time, what a tighter he must have oeen. Ill weight, In his prime, varied between 103 and 170, and he went In then with men pounds heavier and shel lacked plenty ot them. Ho was only an overgrown middleweight but re asked absolutely no quarter from ..ny man. He started his career In IH80. and fought his last battle In 1014. when he went six rounds, nj decision with K. O. Sweeney in Philadelphia He waa 62 years old then and hud seen 34 years of ring warfare. Duntu that time ho had 40 matches, win 33 by knockouts, won 6 on declslotu. was knocked out 6 times, lost 1 re union, drew In 1, lost one on a foul and engaged In 4 no-dec t si on eneoun ters.
