What you’re looking at

# Page Content Description This page from a pulp-fiction magazine combines story prose with period advertising. The right column contains narrative text from what appears to be a boxing story titled "12 Sports Aces" (visible at page top). The prose describes a boxer named Danny Cave being offered another fight against an opponent named Gaynor, discussing it with his wife Ellen and manager Sam, then training at a farm before weighing in at 157 pounds. The left side is dominated by vintage advertisements for correspondence courses, massage training, false teeth, and other mail-order services typical of early-20th-century pulp magazines.

You’d get a nice purse and I’d take my manager’s slice.” Danny thought of Gaynor’s csbine fists and then remembered how it had ended last time. He wasn’t great, but may- be he could do better. Maybe he could walk out of that ring when it was over. He said, “I’d do it, Sam, but Ellen wouldn’t let me. I promised her.” “T’ll talk to Ellen,” Sam said. “Let me try it.” He went into the kitchen where Ellen was cooking dinner, and much to Danny Cave’s surprise, his wife assented. Sam stayed to eat and then went back to the city. He wasn’t gone for long. Two days later he returned with the fight papers and a couple of sparring partners. Danny stayed there at the farm, getting in shape, prepared to give his best. The fight was six weeks away and the days went fast. Danny went to New York again; the place no longer seemed like home to him. He felt like a hiek tourist staring at the skyscrapers. He got on the scales and Grid Gaynor said, “One hundred fifty-seven pounds. Youw’re getting fat, Cave.” The reporters couldn’t see any fat. Danny’s shoulders were a little mere solid from long hours of swinging an axe. His chest had filled out. He looked in fine shape, but the odds were eleven to five against him and plungers were searce. Danny went down to the ring, Sam Bradford at his side. Ellen was back at the hotel, the radio turned on. Danny listened to the noisy yells that greeted him. They still liked him even though he was a bum and Gaynor-was not a popular champion although a great fighting ma- chine, — *You haven’t given me any strategy,” Danny said. “How do I fight this guy this time?” “What's the use?” Sam said, shrugging his shoulders. “It’s a nice gate, anyway. I'll tell you what to do. Get out and knock his block off. Maybe you'll land a lucky. punch.” Danny nodded. He went out to meet the champ and they didn’t attempt to CS GComichboo G (E)
