Ive been thinking of asking this for a while, this is as good a time as any...
does anyone have the October 12, 1912 issue of THE SPORTING NEWS ???
in that issues it is said to recount the story of a Pittsburgh sportswriter who tried to get permission from Wagner, only to be rejected by Honus as the article states, who "did not care to have his picture in a package of cigarettes."
I would like to see a more accurate quote from that issue if anyone has it
