Bill Stern's Sports Book #10

This anthology issue contains stories about notable athletes and sporting moments. "Ewell Blackwell's Pitching Tips" depicts the Cincinnati Reds pitcher in his first big league season striking out 100 opposing batters in a game against the Braves. A text story details the legendary rivalry between baseball players Tinker and Evers, recounting their 1908 fight over a hack ride and subsequent three-year silence, plus an anecdote about Chance's extraordinary single and stolen base that earned him a team ownership stake. An additional story chronicles boxer Jack Dempsey's knockout victory over Firpo, described as "the fight of the century," in which Dempsey knocked Firpo down multiple times before winning by knockout in the second round.
