    His right knee looks buckled. I would not want to mess with him, although I feel reasonably certain he is dead by now.

    That's a tough looking guy. Pre-steroid too.

    On December 15, 1913, Diry, a middleweight, was knocked out by George Ashe in the third round of a contest at the National Sporting Club, in Brooklyn, New York. Diry was from Ireland, where his name was spelled (and pronounced) "Deery." He had won a fight in November, but this was his second loss since then, and he endured three more knockouts early in 1914, before hanging up his gloves for good. Diry's boxing record: boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=73885&cat=boxer New York Times story, December 16, 1913: (The Times calls him a German, and says that he had won several fights, but the record contradicts that statement.) query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9807E...

    Hi Wystan. I tend to believe the Diry was indeed German, not Irish, as another NYT link credits him as the German middleweight champion (see his boxrec.com bio). The only source I'm finding that says he's Irish is the info at the top of his boxrec.com record, but I believe that's an error, and I'm also going to guess that whoever compiled his "official" record there got most if not all of the results from the same NYT links we're seeing.

    Looks like same people as in www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2889448163/.

    The bridge displayed here is the railroad bridge, which burned in 1974 but is still standing. It is no longer in use as a railroad bridge. Plans have been made to reopen it as a walking bridge. Normally, when people say the Poughkeepsie Bridge they are thinking of the automobile bridge a bit to the south of the railroad bridge. It was built in the 1930s after this picture was taken.

    yeah the bridge is open fro walking now.
