Chicago Seminar on Sport and Culture

There will be a change for the meeting on Feb. 24th., 3:30 PM. The scheduled speaker will be unable to present. Instead, we have a pinch- hitter. Steven Riess of Northeastern Illinois University will speak on:

“CLOSING DOWN THE OPEN-CITY: THE DEMISE OF BOXING AND HORSE RACING IN CHICAGO IN 1905”

The Newberry Library is at 80 W. Walton Ave., Chicago, IL. If you wish to read a copy of the paper, drop a note to s-riess@NEIU.EDU, and he'll send a copy.
