THE DETROIT FREE PRESS, Michigan, January 10, 1942 

* Joe Louis (The Brown Bomber) 
* Heavyweight boxing title fight 
* From his hometown paper 


This 20 page newspaper has a two column headline on the front page: "Louis Kayoes Baer in Opening Round" with subhead: "Buddy Gets Off Canvas Twice Before Bomber Finishes It".

Coverage continues in the sport's section with nice action photo (see photos) This was Joe Louis' 20th defense for the World's heavyweight title. Great and rare to have in a Detroit newspaper

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Minor margin wear, otherwise good condition.
