	The August 24, 1931 ''Montreal Herald'' reported that '''Gen. John V. Clinnin''' had been a former boxer himself, a hero in two wars, a former United States Attorney, and a wealthy man. He was fifty-five-years-old at the time. "He held amateur middleweight and light-heavyweight championships in his younger days, refereed scores of army fights while serving in Cuba and overseas. He entered the army in the Great War as a non-commissioned officer and worked himself up to the rank of a Brigadier General. He was wounded by gas and shrapnel in the war and temporarily lost his eye-sight. A fine sportsman he has brought both efficiency and an air of sportsmanship to boxing under his regime."		The August 24, 1931 ''Montreal Herald'' reported that '''Gen. John V. Clinnin''' had been a former boxer himself, a hero in two wars (Spanish-American War and World War I), a former United States Attorney, and a wealthy man. He was fifty-five-years-old at the time. "He held amateur middleweight and light-heavyweight championships in his younger days, refereed scores of army fights while serving in Cuba and overseas.

He was wounded by gas and shrapnel in the war and temporarily lost his eye-sight. A fine sportsman he has brought both efficiency and an air of sportsmanship to boxing under his regime."

	According to the August 25, 1931 Montreal ''Star'', in his "former years" Clinnin had competed at Long Branch, Toronto, in the International shooting competitions between Canada and the United States, as a member of the Palmer Cup team. "He was one of the best shots in the United States, and is a veteran of two wars." ~~(The Spanish-American War and World War I.)~~		According to the August 25, 1931 Montreal ''Star'', in his "former years" Clinnin had competed at Long Branch, Toronto, in the International shooting competitions between Canada and the United States as a member of the Palmer Cup team. "He was one of the best shots in the United States, and is a veteran of two wars."

	Clinnin ~~had been "a hero" of the first world war, and~~ considered a man of impeccable and spotless reputation. In 1930, President [[Stanley M. Isaacs]] of the [[National Boxing Association]] appointed Clinnin Chairman of a committee to investigate the 16 knockouts in 16 bouts registered by [[Primo Carnera]]. On May 14 he would recommend that Carnera and his quartet of managers be indefinitely suspended by the NBA. (The managers were [[Billy Duffy]], [[Frank Churchill]], [[Leon See]], and [[Walter Friedman]].) Concurring in the recommendation were [[Walter Ligringer]] of Milwaukee, secretary of the [[Wisconsin Boxing Commission]]; and [[Thomas Donohue]], former president of the NBA--the other members of the committee--although "no direct evidence of a 'criminal' conspiracy had been unearthed."
