EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, hailing from the vintage year of 1932, showcases an intriguing blend of sports and music that once graced the pages of the Illustrated London News. In the foreground, golfers in North Carolina engage in a friendly wager, unfazed by the presence of musicians and dancing caddies. The lively atmosphere is further accentuated by the caddies' colorful attire and the musicians' instruments, adding a touch of whimsy to the otherwise serious game. In the background, boxers Jack Murphy and Donald Don McCorkindale are seen training with an unconventional aid - a mechanical hare. The use of this mechanical device, designed to simulate the motion of a live hare, was a common training technique during the 1930s to help boxers hone their reflexes and reaction times. Another intriguing element of this scene is the numerous telephones scattered around the area. These telephones were intended for use by members of the press reporting on an upcoming England v. Scotland football match. The presence of these telephones underscores the significance of sports journalism during this era and the role it played in keeping the public informed about the latest developments in the world of sports. This lighthearted and quirky scene offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unusual and curious aspects of sports and music during the 1930s. With its rich history and intriguing details, this photograph print is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of sports, music, or the 1930s.
