An old newspaper fragment recounts a steamer disaster where bachelors volunteer to man lifeboats while married men stay aboard. The captain proposes a bold choice, and bachelors row to shore as married men struggle in the surf. The piece argues a man’s value lies in efficiency, not marital status, comparing feats and worth. It also mentions a digestion remedy testimonial from San Francisco.
A historical portrait recalls famed and fallen fighters from Yankee Sullivan to Ned O Baldwin, detailing vanished fortunes and tragic ends. It traces Sullivan’s rise and death, the Law Coburn entourage, and the fates of Dwyer, Ryan, McCoy, and Morrissey era figures, highlighting dissipation, crime links, and broken lives behind boxing glory.
The piece recalls the memory of James Sullivan who died on May 31 aged 45 and prays for mercy on sins. It notes Jack Dempsey buried in an unmarked grave near Portland, Oregon, with funds for a monument misused. It references Tom Hyer’s fame and burial need, Joe Coburn’s era and a long bare-knuckle bout, mentioning George Law and Billy Tracey’s saloon as context.
The article recalls champions and notorieties from early boxing days under bare knuckles and old London rules. It notes Jimmy Elliott’s fatal end after a tainted pardon, and lists fighters who died poor or ruined, including Peter Jackson and Dooney Harris.
