Here´s another picture of it.

This article describes a 1932 game between the Philadelphia North Ends and the House of David where HOD brought the lights. It's interesting that the North Ends were the undercard on the poster.

I finally had the chance to get to the library last night, hoping to find the box scores for the games described on the poster that's been discussed here. I targeted 1934, as that seemed to be the year in which our discussion had been going.

In the Saturday Sept 22, 1934 edition of the Pittsburgh Courier, I found the box score below, and it's definitely not the same game as described on the poster (the article states that the game was Saturday afternoon). The Crawfords were in Pittsburgh that day, losing badly to the Homestead Grays 11-2.



I am going to look at 1945 next, in the hope that I can find something to support the idea that the poster is authentic.

Thank you John for the article. It is an interesting article. Hopefully more stuff will pop up so I can gain a little more knowledge about this game.

Why would the Saturday, September 22nd paper have a boxscore for a game being played on Saturday, September 22nd?
