TLS signed “Geo. S. Halas,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Chicago Bruins Basket Ball Club, Inc. illustrated letterhead, December 12, 1929. Letter to Sidney Strotz, who helped manage the Chicago Stadium. In part: “In accordance with your request, I had the following changes approved by President John J. O’Brien of the American Basket Ball League,” and goes on to list three date changes. Scattered creases, staple holes to the upper left corner, an office notation in pencil to the upper left, and some show-through from a JSA authentication label affixed to reverse, otherwise fine condition. While Halas is typically associated with the Chicago Bears, he was also the owner of the Bruins, a basketball team born in 1925 with the creation of the ABL—the first attempt to form a professional basketball league. An incredible piece of Chicago sports history.
