192019852New York: Marshall Stillman Association 1920. Softcover. Good. Single sheet 9 x 20 inches additional flap for folding and mailing printed on both sides with text and halftone illustrations of boxing and self-defense techniques. Hand-addressed soiling and creasing at one edge slit into which the flap would have been inserted prior to mailing as issued; very good. A "10-day free trial" prospectus for a mail order course in the Marshall Stillman method of boxing jiu-jitsu and other forms of self-defense. Don't believe boxing can be taught by mail Read the endorsements here and give it a try: "Practice the lessons faithfully for ten days and then if you do not feel that you can learn boxing and self-defense by this original method return the course to us. Should you decide to keep the course send us $5 in complete payment. That's fair enough isn't it You can't lose." Stillman's history is noteworthy in several respects: Millionaires Alpheu Geer and Hiram Mallinson developed the Marshall Stillman method named for two of Geer's grandparents in the early 1900s as a prison reform effort; they saw physical activity and sport as a positive influence in combatting recidivism. In 1919 they brought in the obstreperous Lou Ingber to manage the gymnasium; shortly thereafter another nearby gym lost a large portion of its Jewish membership due to anti-semitic policies and those boxers found a welcoming home at the Marshall Stillman Athletic Club. "Stillman's Gym" rapidly became one of the best-known boxing gyms in the country with Joe Louis Jack Dempsey Gene Tunney and Rocky Graziano among its alumni and Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Jerry Lewis Buddy Hackett and Tony Bennett frequently in attendance as spectators. It remained a household name until 1959 when Ingber an inveterate innovator and self-promoter who had long-since purchased the gym outright and legally changed his surname to "Stillman" sold up and retired--a decision he regretted later telling a reporter that it was "the worst thing he had ever done as it left him with nobody to talk to and nobody to abuse.

1980CAT0118Various Places 1980. Illustrated calf "Frankfurt" binding 9 x 10 inches. With twelve scrapbook pages and twenty-eight photographs and two programs laid in. Very Good. Archie Moore's personal scrapbook evidently started in Frankfurt in the period surrounding his fight with Hans Kalbfell and extending onward. Moore used the scrapbook to house other photographs and memorabilia titling it "Archie Moore Albumn sic - various 'celebs' Boxers." The loose photos show Moore posed with various friends and acquaintances. The scrapbook contains three contact sheets of stills from an unidentified film a picture of Mr. T. an inscribed program from Mickey Walker several original photographs from an unidentified boxing match and a single leaf extract from the Sacramento Union discussing Moore's youth project signed by Moore in 1966. <br /> <br /> Moore was a frequent victim of racism early in his career and often fought abroad. His career spanned several eras in boxing from the 1940s onward. He fought a young Cassius Clay at age 45 when Clay was 20. This album starts during the period when he held the world light heavyweight championship and continues through his retirement from boxing. He led a varied life upon retirement starting a charity for youth in San Diego acting in several films and helping train George Foreman for his fights into the 1990s among other activities. A very nice personal scrapbook from an incredible career which we have left in its found state with the photographs loosely interleaved with the pages. Generally very good well used but cared for with bright contents and some wear to binding. unknown books
1855102006Large folded newspaper 21" x 28" pages illustrated 4 pp. Paper is a bit fragile but better quality newsprint helps offset a little edges with tears chips folds and creases but generally not affecting text or illustrations some splits at middle fold 1 1/2" tear in the middle of the paper that goes through the four pages with some loss some soiling and staining especially on bottom of last page. Overall about fair. WILL BE FOLDED WHEN SHIPPED.The highlight of the paper is the coverage of the Tom Hyer and Yankee Sullivan fight which occurred a few years earlier. A large wood engraved illustration shows the two fighters squaring off in the ring. While Sullivan a former political enforcer and convicted felon and a somewhat boastful individual ended up getting knocked out in less than 18 minutes. The fight was fought in Maryland and under the bare-knuckle rules. The paper also contains pictures of other famous fighters of the era including Tom Molineaux Tom Cribb Jem Belcher Johnny Walker and Jack Langan. Molineaux would fight in a losing effort against Tom Cribb for the title of Champion of England which at that time pretty much meant the heavyweight champion of the world. Molineaux was a former slave and would fight for a title almost 100 years before Jack Johnson won the heavyweight title from Tommy Burns. The Pictorial Clipper appears to be a supplement of the New York Clipper which was in business between 1853 and 1924 and had an entertainment focus. books
