ca. 1910. Copy of old boxing picture for the Times. Barechested man with ornate belt. This is identical to series C3-4 which depicts Stanley Ketchel, American middleweight boxing champion, 1908-1910. The elaborately designed belt is his championship belt. Ketchel was the first two-time middleweight champ and died at age 24, victim of an allegedly jealous ranch hand. Stanley Ketchel was part of the inaugural class of inductees into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. (T.Times 11-15-1938, p. 12; boxrec.com)
