* Early Jim Londos "The Golden Greek"
* Becomes champion for the very 1st time

* vs. Dick Shikat - Baker Bowl in Philadelphia

Page 2 of this section has a discrete, brief but significant report with a one column heading: "Londos, Greek Wrestler, Wins Title from Shikat" (see image)
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete section two (sports) only with 12 pages, rag edition in nice condition. A few small binding holes along the spine. 

background: The victory on June 6, 1930, was the catalyst that transformed Jim Londos from a talented contender into a genuine cultural phenomenon, effectively saving professional wrestling during the onset of the Great Depression. By defeating Dick Shikat in a grueling 90-minute technical masterpiece, Londos solidified his status as "The Golden Greek," a titleholder who possessed an unprecedented cross-cultural appeal that drew massive immigrant crowds to arenas across the United States. This win marked the beginning of a legendary 2,628-day reign, during which Londos became the sport's premier "gate attraction," consistently out-earning even the top baseball stars of the era. Beyond the record books, his first championship win was significant because it unified several splintered versions of the world title, providing the industry with a single, charismatic face that could maintain public interest and financial stability throughout the nation's darkest economic years.
