About this book
50 Years at Ringside is by Nat Fleischer. The foreword calls the book the autobiography of one of the standout sports reporters of the half century, and a pre-eminent authority on boxing in particular. The foreword says: here we have the eye witness accounts of the Pepys of the ring scene these last fifty years.
The text describes Charley White, called Old Eagle Eye, as nationally famous as a referee and second and recognized universally as a keen, unerring judge of fistic material. The writer says the newspapers had already printed several stories about the New York lad, and that Doc Almy of The Boston Post dubbed him the Millionaire Kid, and the moniker stuck. The text says the gong went for the end of the round and saved the situation, and that Lewis eventually put Burke out for keeps in the sixth round.
