That's great. I love newspaper issues. Looks like they used TI photo pack images. I have never seen that one before but I have seen similar books for 1959 Baltimore Colts and a 1950s Cincinnati Reds issue.

I note that one of yours says "alco-gravure" on it. Looks like photogravure rather than standard newspaper printing, which is consistent with many supplements. Online, I found that Alco Gravure published a weekly magazine, so my guess is that these were parts of a weekly supplemental magazine to the newspaper. I have seen several similar boxing pieces, both as part of publications and as inserts. Here is a set of Gillette premiums of Max Baer
