June 22, 1938
THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 22, 1938.
* Joe Louis (Brown Bomber)
* Max Schmeling (German boxer)
* Pre fight (rematch)
* From the city where it happened
The sport's section (page 28) has a banner headline: "Schmeling Flies Here to Fight Louis for Heavyweight Championship Tonight" with many subheads, related photos, tale of the tape and more. Joe Louis would take back the heavyweight title at the dismay of Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 48 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
