Back In The Bronx, NY

Back in the nineteen twenties, thirties and forties, I was a young kid growing up in a tough neighborhood in the good old Bronx, N.Y.

The sport of the day was usually a fast fist fight over a bad call while playing ball. I managed to avoiid as many as I could but every kid got into a fight now and then.

One tough guy challenged me to a three round fight under the L.

He was so sure he could lick me that he wanted to embarass me in front of the whole gang. It didn't work out that way, as I won the fight.

 

It was the last fight I ever had as everyone knew I could handle myself, having seen me in action.
