And 3 more for my Pet run. Extra cool points because each of these men didn't appear on any other T cards.
Kelly was one of several claimants to the Middleweight title in the confusing situation after Ketchel's murder and ensuing boxing chaos.
Fireman Flynn was a heavyweight gatekeeper type who pops up all the time in sports news of the period. He tended to lose to the big names but he fought everyone and fought all the time, even by the standards of that period.
A Frankie Burns was a Bantam champion of the 1910's and great fighter, but this is a different Frankie Burns. Champion Frankie Burns mostly fought in the east and was form Jersey, the back text on this card is all about Oakland. I couldn't really tie him to a listing on Boxrec.
