The famous fight of 1897, described by J. H. Squire
When J. H. Squire was scarcely seventeen he found himself in Carson City, Nevada, witnessing a boxing match that is perhaps the most famous ever fought. In it 35-year-old Bob Fitzsimmons , middleweight champion of the world and only 11 st. 6 lb. in weight, fought J. J. Corbett , world heavyweight champion and over two stone heavier.
The fight was one of the fiercest in history, and right up to the eventful fourteenth round it looked as though Corbett could not fail to win. But Fitzsimmons fought back, and produced a body punch that put Corbett out and won Fitzsimmons, a middleweight, the heavyweight championship of the world.

A magazine programme of sports gossip, prospects, reminiscences
No broadcast in this series has had more topical and important appeal. Graham Walker, who was a despatch rider himself throughout the last war, is bringing to the microphone despatch riders who have been on active service both in the last war and in this.
Graham Walker has been broadcasting regularly since 1933, and since that year has given every commentary on the Isle of Man T.T. races. He is recruiting despatch riders in the present war and has already enlisted over 1,000 motor-cyclists.
