Promoter recalls boxing greats and pool legends from New Castle
Promoter Daniel Pagley known as Tommy Leach recalls Joe Louis Jack Dempsey and Cassius Clay now Mohammed Ali as fighters who could have beaten each other in prime form. He cites memories of New Castle boxing stables and pool rivalries with Ralph Greenleaf and others. He notes Ali's refusal to join the armed forces and lists past luminaries with local ties. The piece ends with a note on Bill Harmatz winning the 1959 Preakness riding Royal Orbit.
