A flashy boxer of Irish descent, Cal McCarthy was born in the town of McClintockville, PA. He moved to Jersey City at an early age and did most of his fighting around New York. McCarthy--who lived fast and died young--won the featherweight (110 pound) amateur championship of America in 1887, at age eighteen, and turned pro a year later. He was the first teen-ageed world title holder.

• Died of consumption at St. Francis hospital, Jersey City, NJ., leaving a widow. Buried in Calvary Cemetary
