He sold newspapers on the street as a child and at 14, he turned to professional fighting, changing his name to Jimmy Kelly to fit in with the Irish controlled boxing world of turn of the century New York. When that career failed, he got a job at the Pelham Caf in Chinatown in 1906 alongside the clubs singing waiter Irving Berlin.
