Never knew women boxed in the 1920's. Amazingly brave for them. No head gear or other protective gear. Boxing in their dresses.

Looks like great sportswomenship to me! Love these old photos Jolene Martin Dailey Yes I purposely wrote as above because they are women. I know it is to a recognized word, but sportsmanship just did not fit the picture! :D I have to log off and rest. I am trying to catch up a let all my friends know I care.
