London, Jack.

THE GAME.

Henry Hutt. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1905. First edition. The second issue with Rubber stamped on copyright page "Copyright, 1905, by the Metropolitan Magazine Co." A story about a twenty-year-old boxer Joe, who meets his death in the ring. London was a sports reporter for the Oakland Herald and we assume he based the novel on his personal observations. The book is very good with minor wear and rubbing on corners and spine ends, and small stain or offset on front pictorial pastedown. Top edge gilt. Lacking dust jacket.
