NEW YORK TIMES, Sept. 23, 1927
* Gene Tunney Wins Title over Jack Dempsey
* The famous long count boxing match
* Heavyweight boxing title fight
The front page has a great banner headline: "GENE TUNNEY KEEPS TITLE BY DECISION AFTER 10 ROUNDS; DEMPSEY INSISTS FOE WAS OUT IN 7TH, AND WILL APPEAL" with many subheads and a photo of Tunney.
Nice to have the headline reference the "long count" here. There is much more in the sport's section (pages 18 -21) including additional photos and two more banner headlines.
Complete in 56 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings, great condition.
