1919 “Nashville Banner” Page Picturing the Chicago White Sox, World Series Losers.
Lot 192. 1919 “Nashville Banner” Page Picturing the Chicago White Sox, World Series Losers. The melodramatic headline – “Beaten Out at the Wire, But They Died a Fighting Death” – and the caption that follows make this appearance of the Chicago team ironic and somewhat humorous. The photo is in the Oct. 12 issue, well before the sports world became fully aware that some White Sox players were paid to lose the World Series. The caption tells readers that although the Sox lost, they “were never equaled by a ball club when it came to putting up an uphill fight.” The page has chips along one edge and some very small stress tears. Besides the Black Sox photo, the page contains horse racing and football results.
Winning Bid $125.
