Originally published in 1915, this is a memoir of Eugene Corri's
career as a boxing referee. He refereed all the top fights of the
day and speaks at length of both the fights themselves and the
boxers who fought them, all of whom he knew well. Well-illustrated
with black and white photographs, this is a fascinating glimpse
into a vanished era. Many of the earliest books, particularly those
dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Hesperides Press are republishing these
classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using
the original text and artwork. Contents Include - The Lucky-Tub of
Memory - The Carpentier-Gunboat Smith Fight - Barbardier Wells,
with a Word or Two about Carpentier - Robert Fitzsimmons - Willie
Ritchie and Freddy Welsh - Matt Wells, Sereant Basham, and Johnny
Summers - Wilde The Wizard - Some Boxing Storeys - More Boxing
Storeys - Boxing in the War
