Hub Parker vs Wildcat Spindolini

Very short piece on this fight on Mar 18, 1938.

BUT...found a first ever photo of Mr. Parker! Not much though. Mainly see Wildcat.

Sat, Mar 12, 1938, Sixth District Gazette, Barre, VT - Camp Charles M. Smith, Waterbury, Vt. will stage a fight card on Friday the 18th. The third boxing card of the season there at Camp Smith. Included in that card, Hub Parker, 161lbs from Newport will square off against Wildcat Spendolini, 160 lbs from Fort Ethan Allen. A notice in this Sixth District Gazette states this "Main Event" to be five rounds.

Sat, Mar 19, 1938, The Caledonian-Record, St. Johnsbury, VT - At the CAmp Smith Theatre in Waterbury Friday night, Hub Parker lost a decision to Wildcat Spindolini. A decision that was unpopular with the fans and all in attendance apparently except for the judges.

Mon, Mar 28, 1938, The Newport Daily Express, VT - Announces that Hub Parker stated that he would not box in Vermont rings, "retiring" from fighting at least in Vermont. No reason(s) given for this decision though he apparently intends to keep fighting noted in the Mar 29th Newport Daily Express.
