    Leach Cross (b. 1886) was known as "the fighting dentist." He was indeed a dentist, born Louis Wallach in an Orthodox Jewish immigrant family on the Lower East Side. He won forty-three fights and fought five champions to draws. See Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sport and the American Jewish Experience by Peter Levine (Oxford University Press 1992). Carl Morris (1887-1951) was a Kentucky fighter known as "the Original White Hope." cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/morris-c.htm

    Rackets (British English) or Racquets (American English) is an indoor racquet sport played in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada. The sport is infrequently called "hard rackets," possibly to distinguish it from the related sport of squash (formerly called "squash rackets"). World champions 1911–13, 1929–35 Charles Williams (Great Britain) 1913–29 Jock Soutar (USA)
