Great call on that.

It took some digging, but I found it. This ad is referring to The Losing Game by Will Payne. It was originally issued as 9-part serial in The Saturday Evening Post from 10/2/1909 - 11/27/1909. It was later published as a book (copyright Feb 25, 1910, published March 9, 1910).

So, I guess we have a 9- or 10-week window for this one!

Ironically, it appears the story had nothing to do with sports:
