Prize fighting held as sport questions in 1925 essay
A 1925 column critiques prize fighting as sport insanity, contrasting Dempsey and other athletes with endurance feats like Gertrude Ederle and Pavlo Nurmi. It argues true champions train year round, mocks boxing publicity, and praises fearless performance across various sports while noting public perception. It ends with a reflection on journalism and heroism.
