See an earlier picture of McDonald and Young Fox.

Young Fox is a British boxer and McDonald his manager.

Bain's caption does not identify the man at right.

Another Bain/LOC photo of Ed "Gunboat" Smith, newly posted to Flickr on November 26, 2010:

Dal Hawkins appears to be an ex-boxer by 1914. See boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=10974&cat=boxer NYT of Oct 29, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70D16F73F5A15738... suggests that he had a training facility for boxers "on the Westchester Road."

boxrec.com/media/index.php/Jimmy_Buckley indicates that a Jimmy Buckley managed Ed Gunboat Smith.

wow, amazing!

nice picture of Adolph Wolgast, "Michigan Wildcat"

It reminds me Japaness cartoon 'The Champion'. This is real American Boxxing!!

The fight took place in San Francisco, which ties in with the Cana Studio tag noted above and visible in the photo as embossed letters.

Your information will make all 3 photos of this fight easier to find in the future! We'll add the first name and fight info to each image, though likely to go with Colma, CA, since Cyber Boxing Zone gives that place name for the Wolgast-Ritchie fight on Nov. 28. (Looks like they fought on May 11 in San Franciso.) cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/wolgast.htm Further checking: Boxing record lists Daly City, CA (neighbor to both Colma and San Francisco) for the fight's location, www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=42487&cat=boxer. Might go with "San Francisco area" for now!
