1916 Boxing Plaque et al
1916 Boxing Plaque 20 ½” x 15”
Couple weeks ago I drove down to L.A. to pick up the 1916 NYC amateur boxing plaque below. The plaque was made by the renown Dieges and Clust company….Instead of risking damage in shipment I figured I’d pick up in person and hit the Rose Bowl flea same day….got to RB right at 6:00AM but never could get traction…pretty much the weakest Rose Bowl I’d ever been to….The winning club of the plaque “Union Settlement” was founded in 1895      Union Settlement was founded in 1895 by members of the Union Theological Seminary Alumni Club. After visiting Toynbee Hall in London, and inspired by the example of Hull House in Chicago, the alumni decided to create a settlement house in the area of Manhattan enclosed on the north and south by East 96th and 110th Streets and on the east and west by the East River and Central Park.  Last Saturday I drove into San Francisco and picked up the c1920 7” tall motorcycle statue I posted a couple weeks ago…I’m very pleased…looks better in person than photographs…below installed on my coffee table…managed to squeeze it in.

Hey Carlton. Where do you put your coffee?  Congrats on yet another stellar pick-up. I've lived just a few minutes from the Rose Bowl for over five years now and still haven't been able to make it to the flea market. Guess that has something to do with my going to sleep when the market opens up.

That coffee-table pic is classic!
I had a glass-topped coffee table that I build a wooden ledge for that fit underneath. Crammed all of my 'shorter' pieces of memorabilia into it. Then the dog managed to get a minor league baseball out of it and chewed the cover half-off. Yes, I admit to owning game-used memorabilia, but I made my Mother sign an LOA swearing that her father really did give her the baseball.Seeing all that stuff on the table makes me wonder - don't you ever spill a beer or coffee? What a clean-up nightmare.

Several ML teams wanted to integrate (John McGraw in particular) simply to be a better team, but they couldn't. Not so below the ML level. This particular team only has eight players in the pic, even with the black player, so maybe if they had a slightly larger male population in their town, he wouldn't have been as welcome. Also, he is noticeably almost out of the picture and doesn't seem too excited.

More Press Photos
I'm especially happy with the Babe Didrikson. I used to own her pool cue and a bunch of other estate items, and I could not find a photo anywhere of her shooting pool. I've found a couple since, but I love this one.
 Ruth and wife - 1939  Stengel - 1935  Dizzy Dean - 1937  Durocher, Dascoli and Goetz, Tookie Gilbert (player) - 1950  Grange - Oct 26, 1928 Caption: "Harold Grange, football star, given time to investigate girl's charge."  Tunney - dated 1926. I have a larger version of this one that is one print newer and CGC-slabbed (whatever that means  ) Didrikson - 1947  Hoppe, Hoppe - 1909, 1929  Gordon Chung-Hoon - 1929

Didrikson was from my home town (Port Arthur, Texas), so everyone knew all about her. Basically, she was the female Jim Thorpe. There was a NY Times reporter who was, I believe, writing a book about her. He contacted me about various pieces, which I sold him, including her putter which I later found a picture of her using - boy, that would have jacked up the price!
