Jack Johnson's New York City welcome...



Item # 685983

July 10, 1908

THE EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, July 10, 1910

* Post Jack Johnson vs. James J. Jeffries
* re. Heavyweight boxing championship bout
* Boxing's first "Fight of the Century"


The front page has a one column heading: "THOUSANDS OF BLACKS GREET JOHNSON IN NEW YORK" with subheads. (see) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with 10 pages, small library stamp within the masthead, some small binding holes long the spine, generally nice.
