Joe Louis becomes the boxing champ...

NEW YORK TIMES, June 23, 1937  The front page has one column headlines that include: "LOUIS KNOCKS OUT BRADDOCK TO TAKE WORLD RING TITLE" "60,000 Watch Brown Bomber Stop Champion in Fight at Comiskey Park" " Bout Ends In 8th Round" and more.
Much more sport's section (page 30) with related photo and round by round description. This was Joe Louis' 1st time as heavyweight champion. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Complete in 52 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. Great condition.
