Joe Baksi

==Background==
Joe Baksi was a child of the Kulpmont, Pennsylvania coal mines. He was quoted as saying that he never had any intention of being a boxer, but he saw it "as a ticket to a better way of life, out of the coal mines."〔(Joe Baksi Dies at 55 ),''NY Times'', August 8, 1977, p26〕 He broke into professional boxing in 1940 at the age of 18. He beat nine boxers that year, including the future movie actor Jack Palance (who fought under the name of ''Jack Brazzo'') at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY.〔(Boxing Records ) Official records for Jack Palance ''aka'' Jack Brazzo〕〔Lawrence Christon,("Home on the Range It's been a long, dusty journey since Panic in the Streets and Shane" ), ''The Los Angeles Times'', April 30, 1995, Calendar Section. ''Palance recounts a "pier 6 brawl" with Baksi''〕〔(Oscar-winning thesp Palance dies ), ''Variety'', November 10, 2006〕
