Long time bookie. originally from the north-west side (Schiller Pk, Des Plaines) later Highland Pk. Learned from his uncle Gerald also a long time bookie. Joel's father (Gerald's brother) was a mob connected fight promoter named Bernie Glickman. Milwaukee Phil choked Bernie over a dispute concerning the Clay-Terrell fight. Shortly thereafter, he went down to the feds. His testimony started a Grand Jury investigation into rackeering in the boxing industry. They put a contract on him but he got it cancelled after Roemer set up a meet between Glickman and Accardo. Apparently, Glickman promised not to rat out Tony and he called the contract off.

Curious how things work. I hadn't thought about this fight for years until this thread reminded me. Not long before I wrote this Ernie Terrell died. Terrel's Obit
