After the meeting a lunch was served by the hostess. BIG BOXING CARD TOMORROW NIGHT Irvin Davis, Amateur Champion of County, to Battle Kid Kroh, Fast Bradford Man. Those who enjoy the manly art of self-defense will have an opportunity to witness some fast bouts at the K. of C. hall tomorrow evening. While there are to be seven three-round fights in terest centers on the encounter sched uled between Irvin Davis of Coudersport and Kid Kroh of Bradford. Davis and Kroh have met before, in fact IRVIN DAVIS twice they have come together in the squared ring and both times Kroh was given the decision. However, those contests were months ago and in the meantime Davis has been constantly training and gaining experience. His friends are confident he will lay Kroh away before the bell announces the finish of the third period of the battle. In all his recent battles Davis has won easily and nearly all have been by the K. O. route. No doubt Kroh's friends from Bradford will be here in force to witness this scrap, and it is certain Davis will have a large force of backers out to see Kroh put away. The other battlers on the card make up a very cosmopolitan group Poles, Indians, Irish, Swedes and other nationalities being represented. They come from DuBois, Killbuck, Warren, Sabinsville, Port Allegany and several other cities and towns. One other Coudersport lad will appear in the ring. Norval Haskins will battle Young Herbstreet of Sweden Valley. While these boys are lighter and have had less experience they will mix fisticuffs in a fast and furious manner. The full card is given In the sports news on page 7 of this paper. TWO SPIKE BUCKS KILLED J. Edgar Gravenstine, Hatsboro, Pa., and J. Warren Snavely, Lititz, Pa., have each killed spike bucks this season. They each reported the kill and payed $100 fine. Under the circumstances the game official has recommended that one-half the fines paid be returned.. United States Pennsylvania Coudersport The Potter Enterprise 1932 Dec 08 Page 1 Irvin Davis, Amateur Champion of Potter County to Battle Kid Kroh, Bradford, Big Boxing Card Tomorro ________ 20240314GHLn- John C Wetzel Top Contributor 13 March 2024 · An almost familiar name from Sweden Valley, Young Herbstreet v Norval Haskins, Coudersport, in boxing bout, 09 December 1932 at the K. of C. Hall. Title fight is Coudersport's own Irvin Davis v Kid Kroh of Bradford. I'm actually not familiar with any of these lads. Larry Herbstritt Was 'Young Herbstreet' a fight name? Do you know who he was? comment Larry Herbstritt Top Contributor This is very interesting. I'm sure my father's family was the only one with the Herbstritt name in all of Potter County in 1936. My father told me his older brother, Eugene, was an amatuer boxer. Eugene was born in 1910, so he was 26 at the time of this fight. My father was 16, the youngest boy in the family. And I've been told by older men who knew my father as a young man, that he was an exceptional fighter, two of his contemporaries told me "I never saw him lose a fight" no matter what size the guy was who challenged him. But my father never said anything about him being a boxer, but he did say his older brother was. I don't know about the "Young" moniker. 1d Reply Edited Larry Herbstritt Top Contributor Whichever son of Joseph & Elizabeth Lavey Herbstritt was the "Young Herbstreet" mentioned in this newspaper article, they all have a boxing ancestry, not on the Herbstritt side, but on their mother's side. Elizabeth Lavey was the daughter of Anna Essex, daughter of two first cousins, each sharing the same grandfather, John Figg. Almost all of John Figg's sons were obsessed with fighting, and boxing in particular. There's reasonable speculation that John's grandfather was James Figg, an English prizefighter. By the end of his career, James Figg was a recognisable and famous person in London. Royalty, aristocrats, politicians, writers, artists, and actors attended his fights, and in autumn 1729, Figg was made gate-keeper to upper St James's Park by the Earl of Essex. Figg was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Bare Knuckle Boxing Hall of Fame in 2010. A blue plaque dedicated to him was unveiled at The James Figg Pub (formerly The Greyhound Inn), Cornmarket, Thame, on 14 April 2011. Because of the 1st cousin marriage, the Figg DNA was doubled in the Herbstritt ancestry. 1d Reply
