In 1909, Jimmy Dunn trained his boxers at Volk's Gym, on Prospect Avenue in downtown Cleveland. One of those boxers was young Brick Masterson (extreme right) shown in the above photo from the March 21, 1909 edition of the Plain Dealer. The following year, Dunn opened his own gym at 2618 Detroit Avenue thus allowing young boxers like 15-year old Masterson to train in the Old Angle neighborhood where they lived. The boxer immediately to the left of Masterson is future featherweight champion Johnny Kilbane. | Source: Cleveland State University, Michael Schwartz Library, Special CollectionsDownload Original File
