Item Description
10.5x14" sheet music folio w/total of six pages. Published by Bob White, ©1910. This pro-Jeffries item features large photo portrait of the Irish boxer surrounded by clover on the cover and song lyrics refer to his opponent Jack Johnson as "A Load Of Coal" and mentions "Jeffries Will Beat Johnson Black." This decidedly politically incorrect item was produced around the time of the boxers' July 4, 1910 match In San Francisco, CA. as it is mentioned in the lyrics. Other boxers mentioned include Ryan Sullivan, Jim Corbett and Bob Fitzimmons. Sheet music shows handling wear and scattered aging/dust soiling. VG.
