Item # 715588
July 06, 1910
EVENING TRIBUNE, San Diego, July 6, 1910
* Jack Johnson vs. James J. Jeffries
* Heavyweight boxing championship bout
* Boxing's first "Fight of the Century"
The top of the front page has a two column headline: "JEFFRIES DISQUALIFIED, SAYS RICKARD, BEFORE KNOCKOUT BLOW GIVEN" with subheads. (see images) 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, two small library stamps within the masthead, some small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
