On July 4, 1910, Jack Johnson successfully defended his Heavyweight Title against Jim Jeffries, the former champion. Jeffries had retired as 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 an original, official program for this event, which pictures both fighters on the cover and spans 20 pages complete plus covers. Tight binding. Scored with just one word on the scorecard "Johnson." Clean inside and out. Missing back cover. Has a center crease. There are tears throughout and some paper loss although very little to the text. Last page has restoration. Measuring 9.5x13.75", this is the recognized official program and it is exceedingly rare. Despite the poor condition issues, this program, for its rarity, is well-desired.
