Old Kentucky Rosebud
A crowd of South Camden sports, among them Police Stable Sergeant "Jim" Lewis, took in the Jimmy Ryan benefit at the National Athletic Club in Philadelphia, to see the old timers slug as they did 30 and 40 years ago. Among the come-backs was the "Kentucky Rosebud," now of South Camden, a colored boxer of fame some time back. The "Rosebud," who is now 67 years old, proved some game blackbird, said Sergeant Lewis, in his bout with John Henry Johnson, although he was pretty well winded when Mistah Jawnson got through jabbing him.
