[This photo is from the Bain News Agency's January 1914 photostream, posted on Flickr by the Library of Congress.] New York Times story, January 1, 1914: "Sapper O'Neill, the English lightweight, who sprang into popular favor recently by his clever work against Fred Halsband at the Atlantic Garden Athletic Club, will oppose Johnny Harvey, one of the most rugged of New York's army of 133-pounders. Another English boy, Young Fox, will get a chance in the semi-final against Kid Herman of Pekin, Ill. Fox recently made a most favorable debut against Joe Mooney at Madison Square Garden." [In military terminology, a Sapper is a combat engineer, who accompanies the frontline troops into battle. Primary among his duties is the disarming of unexploded bombs. Perhaps Sapper O'Neill received his nickname during previous Army service?]
