1944: IKE WILLIAMS, GENTLEMAN BOXER
Ike made a number of sport headlines during the 1940's. Every morning on our bust trip to Hamilton High, we passed Ike's home on the curve in Forest Valley where Central Avenue becomes Park Avenue. Ike's beautiful rancher still looks much the same as it did in the 1940's and 50's.-

HI TOM .....IKE WILLIAMS WAS AN OUTSTANDING FIGHTER THROUGHOUT THE 1940S. HE SPONSORED A BASEBALL TEAM THAT BEAT THE 1948 SHROTHS, WHILE MY BROTHER CHUCK PLAYED. THE SCHROTHS WENT ON TO WIN THE AMERICAN LEGION WORLD SERIES THAT YEAR. IKE WOULD HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER IF HE DID'NT GET INVOLVED WITH THE PHILLY GANG. REGARDS.
