1960 Bobby Jones Signed Book to George Halas. On
<B>1960 Bobby Jones Signed Book to George Halas.</B></I> One of the great sportsmen of the twentieth century, Jones once dismissed plaudits rendered to him for taking a penalty stroke for an infraction during the US Open which nobody else had witnessed with the statement, "You may as well praise a man for not robbing a bank." Here we find a bold and spacious autograph from the author of <I>Golf is My Game</B></I> on the book's opening page, rating an unimprovable 10/10 in black ink. He signs, "For George Halas, with best wishes, Bob Jones," gifting this volume to a fellow early sports icon, a name synonymous with Chicago Bears football. The volume remains in marvelous condition, with its rare dust jacket in place though bearing an occasional crease and bolstered by a small tape repair. The inscription is unaffected by any condition concerns. An essential autograph from one of the Golden Age of Sport's key figures to another. <I>LOA from James Spence Authentication.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
