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.

Kevin O'Higgins (third row, third from end, far right) died on 10/07/1927, so the photo is likely before then.

beachcomber australia You're so modest, saying an "uneducated" guess! You probably know more about Irish history than most Irish people! 😀
