* Early billiards - pool
* Jacob Schaefer  vs. William Sexton


This uncommon Midwestern title has news of the day with many advertisements. Page 3 has an article headed: "THE WESTERN WIZARD" "Schaefer Hailed Champion, of the Billiard Champion" "Holding the Title at the Old Game and the New" "Sexton Defeated After an Exciting and Stubborn Struggle" and more with stats. (see)
This issue is not fragile as newsprint back then was made of cotton and linen rags, allowing them to remain very pliable and easy to handle. Complete in 12 pages, minor irregularity along spine, very nice condition.
