Trivia
Father of Ring Lardner Jr., David Lardner, James Lardner and John Lardner.

Quotes
[about Georges Carpentier] He registers the most frightful agony in the ring. The only thing I have seen to match this phase of his art was John Barrymore's reaction to amputation as Captain Ahab in Moby Dick (1930).
