Seems unlikely there was only one referee named Jack Downey officiating between 1922 and 1975. The Jack Downey who refereed the Ezzard Charles - Pat Valentino fight in 1949 looks too young to have worked in 1922.

Jack Downey was in some exhibition bouts January 18, 1913. [1]. Sometimes he was confused with Jack Downs.

According to the book, Gold of the Diamond: Sacramento's Great Baseball Players, 1886 to 1976, by Alan O'Connor, George B. "Jack" Downey was the trainer for a professional baseball team in Pacific Coast League, the Sacramento Senators or Solons from the early 1920s to 1948.

According to various records found on the Ancestry.com website, Downey had a wife, Anna, and a daughter, Evelyn. Before becoming a baseball trainer, Downey worked as a cigar maker.
