Rueben Charles "Rube" Warnes (1875-1961), Great Britain middleweight boxer (75kg) with Lynn Amateur Boxing Club ("ABC"). Rube won an Olympic Bronze medal at the 1908 Summer Olympic Games in London. [1] He went onto win five Amateur Boxing Association of England ("ABA") National titles (1899, 1901, 1903) with Lynn ABC and one each with Gainsford ABC (1907) and Surrey Commercial Docks ABC (1910). [2] Rube, along with other boxers from the ABA, competed at Madison Square Garden, May 19-20, 1911. [3] There is an additional LOC photo of Rube Warnes on Flickr here.

Thanks for the great links, Pixel Wrangler. We'll fill in his name the next time we update this record. The additional photo you cite shows the group of boxers and has a great link to a NYTimes archived article.

Taken same day and same place:

Hi there I am the great great Grandson of Rube Warnes, Im trying to gather as much information as possible about him, is there anything else you could tell me? Or where I could find out. Regards George

Keeping the tradition alive, Anthony Ogogo, Great Britain middleweight boxer (75kg) with the Triple A Amateur Boxing Club, Lowestoft, won an Olympic Bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London. [1]

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

fantastic

no paint again?

Whimsical and shows that they sure didn't worry about people stealing their wares in this time and age. I love the colors in this photo and all the different shapes of plumbing supplies. Its like looking at a puzzle. The more you look the more you see something new.
