"Garrity's Champion"

Characters from
"Garrity's Champion" from
"The Sparring Partner" from
Inside the Ropes
by Charles E. Van Loan
Small Maynard and Company
Boston, 1913
-has illustrations-
setting circa 1902

Ponderous young beerwagon driver August Lembach is turned into fighter "Sledgehammer Garrity". He runs off a streak of KO wins to make a name and is promised a title shot if he can beat comer, Dan Churchill. The HW champ is only referred to as the big fellow, so I did not create a fighter for him. Given the story I assumed that the historical champ in the time-line would be James J. Jeffries although John L. Sullivan would also be a possibility that would change the birth years and career start dates I gave to these fighters.

August Lembach aka "Sledgehammer Garrity" "Owgust Limback" HW 4 slugger

Dan Churchill HW 6 either

and opponent

Gravy Gavigan HW 1 boxer
