National Police Gazette "Gallery" Information Needed

[GoldenAge50s]

Jerry--

I grew up in a hotel as after the War my folks & returning-from-service Uncle went together & bought one. I'm pretty sure the scorecard was issued by Pabst (or another beer company) and was a bar handout to score the TV fights.

I had my booklet filled w/ fights I scored by sneaking downstairs & into the bar on Wed & Fri nites! Being the packrat I am about keeping (& still having) stuff from my childhood I have no idea how this booklet got away from me!

My favorites to watch back then were Kid Gavilan, Baby-Face Chuck Davy, and a guy who seemed to fight at least twice a week, Ralph "Tiger" Jones!

Kid Gavilan, just as he appeared on the old black and white with the foil on the antenna. Kinda.
