    It helps if you don't ride the short bus.

      Jack Dempsey vs Bob Fitzsimmons by Ray Pearson.

      Okay...that did not work. Gimme a min and I'll up photos or some such. I really don't like them taking away classic embed. My only real gripe about the update.


      Actually BIGPOPPAPUMP can you help me out? I looked over the help page. Still got no clue how to embed this:

      <a href="https://www.newspapers.com/clip/72439434/chicago-tribune/" style="text-decoration: none;display:block;" target="_parent"><img src="https://img.newspapers.com/img//img?clippingId=72439434&width=700&height=100" alt="" style="max-width:100%;"><span style="display:block;font: 13px helvetica, sans-serif; color: #747474;padding: 4px 0;max-width: 700px;"><strong></strong> 15 Jan 1922, Sun <em>Chicago Tribune (Chicago, Illinois)</em> Newspapers.com</span></a>


      And while I wait for that to maybe happen I'll just upload as a photo

        Perfect! --- Thank You. -- actually a fun read. --- Johnson-Dempsey, funny but they weren't afraid to cross a fantasy color line.

          As photos these are massive. I'm not sure how to make them more friendly to the site. I have the Fitzs article saved as a PDF and can save the others likewise. I'm not sure how best to easily get them to y'all.

          That's no better really!

          I just want to embed a ****ing photo lads. c'mon. image tells me filesize is too big, can't just use the HTML code...for why? Dunno. Frustrate the piss outta me?

          Anyway, I'm done pissing about. The articles are readable you just have to click a few more times than you would have. I might make another thread more at celebrating Ray and less debunking Lew. I'm currently just reading his stuff and dude's a great boxing writer.

            - -Like I say, I have the original Lew article, but what I don't have is the scrapbook he picked up at a garage sale nor any legit disclaimer. Sweet 'tis the early spring watching all U psycholdelic 'shrooms pop out U cow patootie patties over Dempsey whooping a 40+ JJ. This new history fororum filled with the largest giggle of nerf knife hemophiliac bleeders ever assembled.

              Thanks for taking the time to post. There is an excellent Dempsey cartoon and critique in the newspaper (Chicago Tribune) next to the McGovern-Kilbane article. Going to look all the articles over. Thanks again.

                  We still do that until spring rolls around some winters here. Luckily, it's supposed to reach 50 and then 62 here in New York this coming week.

                    Great to hear! I have a dear friend in Austin I still cannot get in touch with... I fear for him. New York wasn't as bad, but it sucks to be held hostage by bad weather. I consult on systems for houses built off grid and I tell people: Have a couple of old cars that run if you have a big property. You know have heat if you need it and with a simple device you can charge things up easily. Even better, now that electric cars are more popular If you get an old electric vehicle with a good battery you can run a solar system from it.

                      I use real facts, and do not argue for fantasy fo suit my agenda. I think I have the bogus fight report if people want to see it.
