L OLD-TIME HEAVYWEIGHT.
1 STILL INTERESTED IN FIGHT
I
I New York City?Joe Jennette,
( one of the most famous old-time
heavyweights; who occupies a^
? sizeable niche in the history of bos
5 ing. is still actively interested in
j fighting but its a spare time hob
) by today with the famous Negro
. heavyweight.
} Jeanette is a successful busi3
ness man of Union City, N. J.,
P where for the past twenty-three
years he ha? run a combination
1 livery_atnbland Esso dealer stae
tion. Today,i Joe Jeanette has~a~
j sizeable following of customers,
. many of whom know him only as
. a successful business man and not
_ as one of the topnotchers in the j
11 i
ring, during tne ions iwi iu? num
- iaw- loio.
' In those yoais, Jeanette met!
nearly all of the beat that came
along, and the best included such"
s greats as Georges Carpentier, and I
e Sam Langford. His only regret (
r looking back on his years of box-;
? ing from the comfortable view- j
* noint of a successful business
0 man, is that he came along too j
l" soon. Reading of million dollar 1
0 gates is no comfort to this great I
e fighter, whose highest purse was
n $,1,000.
Despite; the fact that his day as1
11 Esso dealer is a full and busy one, I
'r Jeanette nevertheless manages to
3 snatch more than a few moment"
w to spend his time on the sport he
r loves. Above his service station!
8- and garage Jeanette has a gym- '
}' pasium. To that gymnasium most
ie of Union City's young hopefuls
come to learn some of the science ,
in and craft of the ring that made'
Jecnette a topr.oteher.
