I like how a hundred years ago they were able to tag their photos with so much information. And you didn't need $1500 worth of computer gear to see it.

Well, these were "news" photos, so the photos were taken by photo journalists who understood the importance of documentation.

"Assuming an Irish name was not unusual in that era of boxing; there were Jewish fighters with Irish names too; and Jim Flynn, the only man who ever knocked out Jack Dempsey, was actually named Andrea Chiariglione. One reason for the name changes is that there were not enough Irish fighters to satisfy the large number of Irish fans." -- Pete Hamill, "Why Sinatra Matters" (Boston: Little, Brown, 1998), p. 58.
