Regular price $425.00

On July 4, 1910 Jack Johnson successfully defended his heavyweight title against Jim Jeffries, the former champion. Jeffries had retired undefeated champion after his last fight in 1904. Encouraged greatly by a racist public eager to get rid of Jack Johnson, Jeffries agreed to fight Johnson, but age and an almost six year lay-off, coupled with Johnson's great skill and youth proved to be too much. Jeffries was easily defeated in a one sided match. Presented here is sheet music from 1910 for "Oh the Band Will Play" by Adele Louis.
This sheet music is 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" and pictures both fighters on the cover. There are 4 vertical creases where the sheet music was rolled and there are additional creases along the binding and edges. There are small rips along the edges and there is some soiling along the right side of the front cover. 6 pages.
