Beachboy, I have that book, and none of the boxers you mentioned have a photo in that book. I will scan and post a photo of both Tut Ryan and Mick Dooley when I get a chance.
I have added aphoto of the infamous Australian Bushranger, Ned Kelly during his boxing career.

Thanks for telling me. I've only found it in some Brisbane used bookstore and they want over $50 bucks for it. Plus, that's a long way to ship to Houston!
Also, I agree for such a small population Australia was definitely a hot-bed for boxing at the turn of the century!
