THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 15, 1951

* Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Jake Lamotta
* Boxing - Boxers - 6th of 6 fights
* St. Valentine's Day Massacre


The sport's section (page 12) has a banner headline: "Robinson Knocks Out La Motta in 13th Round for World Middleweight Title" with subheads and photo. (see) This was the sixth and final fight between the two in which Robinson regained the title. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 54 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
