The front page has an article headed: "'Knocked Out' In One Round" "Prof. Sullivan's Latest Achievements" (see) Reports the famous boxer who is wanted by the Boston police for abusing his wife.
Complete with 4 pages, light toning at the margins, a little spine wear with a few small archival mends here, generally good but should be handled with care.
