Description:
'Sport' Newspaper: 1911 edition of 'Sport' newspaper. This was a weekly newspaper that appeared from 1908 until around World War I. Despite the paper's title, its major focus was football - indeed that's all this edition from 7 July 1911 covers (the newspaper was produced 'Under the Patronage of the Victorian Football League, the Victorian Football Association and Leading Junior Associations'). Its 4 Broadsheet Pages Are Packed with News About Football - Match Reports & Scores From the Previous VFL & VFA Round, But Also Lots of News and Information. Even Better, There Is Coverage Far Beyond the VFL & VFA, Including Results and News From Ballarat, the Geelong & District Association, the Vjfa, Metropolitan Association, Commonwealth Association, Melbourne Districts Association, Boyle & Scott's Association & Many More - More Than 15 Different Local and Church-Based Competitions Are Represented. It's a Real Treasure Trove of Information For Those with An Interest in Football History. Great Ads Too! These Newspapers Are Exceptionally Rare, and This One Has Been Folded But Is Otherwise Complete and in Good Condition
