I just opened this Magazine to an article and fotos of World-Welterweight Champ, "Sugar" Ray Robinson. The opening paragraph reads; "Jimmy Doyle was dead, victim of Ray Robinson's fists in a Cleveland ring, and now the coroner was holding an inquest. He stood quietly in the somber room and then, as Robinson was called to the witness stand, the coroner turned and began questioning the Champion. "Isn't it true that you knew Doyle was in trouble during the fight?" Robinson, nattily dressed, clear-eyed and confident, countered with the speed he has often displayed in the ring. "Mister," he said without emotion, "It's my business to keep those fellows in trouble."
The article's title is "BOXING'S BAD BOY", with fotos. Another article about Leo Durocher by Dan Daniel who asks; "Will Leo the Lip be back in Brooklyn in 1948? Will he return to Baseball at all?" This was after the 1947 season finished. Another article by Jim Burchard talks about
Tennis Champs Bobby Riggs vs Jack Kramer. "I'll Murder Him" says Kramer. It was 20-25 years later when
Billy Jean King did "Murder Him" on the courts. You'll love the ads; a lovely foto of Rita Hayworth in an ad for Chesterfield Cigs. Back page ad for Prestone Anti-Freeze with the 1947 Sticker Price of $2.65 per Gal. matching its 1939 pre-war price. This magazine is well worth the money for all its historical content which may have been lost forever with the advent of computers and the Internet.
Thanks for viewing!!
