Night Game Under Lights / Colonels’ Baseball Park / Friday August 26 9 P.M. / Mohawk Giants / vs. / Hillsdale’s Baseball Club / of Washington D.C. South Atlantic Champs of 1937 / Regular Prices
Hudson 1938. Chip with loss to corner discoloration to lower portion overall good with fine contrast. Good. An advertisement for a game between the barnstorming team the Mohawk Colored Giants and Washington D.C's Hillsdale Club taking place in the Colonels’ stadium near Hudson New York in 1938.1 The Giants reformed in 1929 after an initial stint in Schenectady in 1913–1914 and were active for around fifteen years. Washington D.C. had a robust network of African American teams during the period. Sam Lacy who played semi-professional baseball after college apparently played for the club at one point.2 We find no record of the “South Atlantic†division but it could very likely have been hyperbole to build enthusiasm for the game. <br /> <br /> 1 “Mohawk Colored Giants vs. Hillsdale†Hudson Evening Register Hudson NY August 25 1938 sports section listing games scheduled for Friday August 26 1938.<br /> 2 “Sam Lacy†Contemporary Black Biography vol. 54 Thomson Gale 2006. unknown

[African-Americana - Sports] [Headspeth, Woody]
Photographic Postcard of Woody Headspeth on His Bicycle in France c. 1900-1910
France: None Stated 1900. Postcard measuring 5 ½ x 3 â… inches. Fine condition. Fine. Woody Headspeth - known also as Woody Hadspath or Hedspath as is written here - was an African-American cyclist who raced mostly in France due to racial prejudice in the United States. Headspeth raced until he was 50 years old in France working as a mechanic on tracks and sometimes for Victor Linart. He was in France at the time of the German occupation and fled to Portugal where he would die of typhus and tuberculosis. While we can’t date this photograph exactly Headspeth looks to be roughly the same age as other known photographs from his early period in Europe c. 1900-1910. None Stated unknown

[Anderdon, John Lavicount]
The River Dove; With Some Quiet Thoughts on the Happy Practice of Angling near to the Seat of Mr. Charles Cotton at Beresford Hall in Staffordshire
N.p.: Privately Printed 1845. First edition one of 25 large paper copies printed. Extra-illustrated with 13 wood-engraved illustrations on india-proof paper mounted in the margins. iv 241 pp. 1 vols. Tall 8vo 11-1/8 x 7-1/4 inches. Bound in contemporary quarter brown morocco and green cloth titled on spine "The River Dove" between gilt rules. Front endpaper split at hinge slightly rubbed. First edition one of 25 large paper copies printed. Extra-illustrated with 13 wood-engraved illustrations on india-proof paper mounted in the margins. iv 241 pp. 1 vols. Tall 8vo 11-1/8 x 7-1/4 inches. AUTHOR'S PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED on half-title "To the most beloved from John L. Anderdon 7th Nov. 1845" of this colloquy on angling after the fashion of Izaac Walton and Charles Cotton by a noted collector of Walton and Johnsoniana. Anderdon's library included the 1653 Compleat Angler and this discourse between Angler Painter and Host is both homage to the seventeenth-century masters and an attempt to elucidate some of their sources and influences. The author intended it "for the entertainment of a few gentlemen fishers" the work being based on a tour he made along the Dove. The privately printed large-paper edition limited to twenty-five copies appeared in 1845; a trade edition in small 8vo format was published by Pickering two years later. <br /> The inscription is to his wife Anna Maria 1796-1880 the second daughter of William Manning MP whom he married on 4 March 1816. <br /> "Anderdon was an enthusiastic fisherman and a walking tour through Dovedale the country of Charles Cotton one of the earliest professors of the art of angling gave him the idea of compiling a volume on The River Dove: with some Quiet Thoughts on the Happy Practice of Angling. Printed in 1845 for private circulation and for sale two years later it contained many anecdotes of Cotton and his country life with advice on successful fishing" ODNB.

[Bearbaiting in Georgian Derbyshire; Hanoverian field sports]:
Bearbaiting in Georgian Derbyshire. Anonymous manuscript poem titled 'The Bearbaiting' beginning: 'Whoe'er in Derbyshire has been And haply there a Wake has seen Has seen a Bear the Croud's Delight Maintain with baiting Dogs the fight.'
Place and date not stated. Derbyshire Late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. Not published. A fair copy neatly written out over 8pp. 4to. 175 lines in heroic couplets. On two bifoliums of wove paper each with hunting-horn watermark of 'G R'. A well-written production with valuable content regarding a loathsome practice which persisted in England until 1835. For example: 'The Dogs are train'd the Day is set All all the neighbouring Clowns are met - The Bear stalks forth pinn'd to his tether Close-join'd his upper Jaw & nether: Unchain'd unmuzzl'd no one knew What his full powers provok'd might do - His Chain the Radii Pin the center He walks the ring which none might enter; He walks and back the Rabble flee Leaving the destin'd Circle free. Now to the Center he retreats While every hear in Silence beats With Wonder! .' To begin with 'Bruin' battles with the 'Curs' who are 'soon dispatch'd He'll give more Sport when better match'd. . His Ear his Snout his Throat they seize He shakes them off he lifts his paw But deigns not to extend a claw - They fall around; or crush'd they die Or crippled sprawl or yelping fly. "The Curs the Spaniels all are gone." Let now some nobler Dog come on.' More dogs die until finally 'Skirnie the only hope remain'd Skirnie to all manoeuvres train'd; Now Skirnie to the Ring is led. They clap his sides they pat his head:'. To the surprise of 'the rabble' dog and bear play together instead of fighting with Bruin playing the part of a soldier with a musket. The Parish Clerk throws a laurel wreath into the ring and the poem ends with the inevitable classical reference. Place and date not stated. [Derbyshire? Late eighteenth or early nineteenth century.] unknown

[Broadside] [Wrestling] [Sports] [Pacific Northwest] [African American]
Illustrated Broadside or Poster Announcing WRESTLING: HOOD RIVER Oregon; Seelie Samara George Hardison Boston versus Jack Forsgren Canada; Albert Carral vs. Bob Kruse
Hood River News 1939. Paperback. FINE. Printed Red on 11 x 17' white cardstock. We date this poster around 1939 based on martching Hood River News wrestling broadsides with dated newspaper clippings. 'Former location Penny-Wise Store on Heights Hood River.' Some very trivial rubbing to the tips otherwise uncommonly clean and sharp. Top billing heavyweight match features an absolutely yoked and glistening Seelie Samara stage-name for George Hardison an African-American athlete and one of the most prominent characters in the early years of the 'Golden Age' revival of dramatic/entertainment wrestling in America. Hardison was born in Georgia and after a stint as a carnival strongman was scouted by 'Tiger Man' John Pesek who became his boxing trainer. Sometime in the late 30's Hardison began competing in staged Wrestling matches in the Northeast. In 1938 he signed with promoter Jack Pfefer with whom he began traveling extensively; while he was regularly billed in the Midwest and California this broadside is the only record we found of Pacific Northwest appearance. From the early-40's onward Hardison's appearances were confined to segregated 'Race Matches'; he would hold claim to the 'Negro World Heavyweight Championship' belt through the early 50's. Cory Santos writes 'A fan favorite Samara had power and technical prowess in equal measures. His muscularity was unique for the era; his bulging physique was a striking contrast to the bulkier frames of many heavyweights of the period. The Samara character also included costume elements — the most noteworthy of which was a Muslim head wrap Hardison used when being advertised from Algeria his most common birthplace or Afghanistan. Still given the huge number of strange hometowns it is difficult to keep track of exactly what character elements are geographically based and which are just random items based on the fanciful imaginations of “Africa†from countless midwestern promoters. But a sense of fair play honor and respect defined the Seelie and variants Ras and Haille Samara characters to audiences. Combined with his impressive physique these virtues earned him lasting nicknames including “Negro Hercules†“Black Adonis†the “insert location here Wildman†and famously the “Black Panther.†'Seelie Samara: A Forgotten African-American Great.'.
