Olympic Games/ summer, 1904/ St. Louis/ Book: "Spalding's Official Athletic Almanach for 1905, special Olympic, number containing "The Official Report of the Olympic". Compiled by James E.Sullivan. 284 pages. Publisher's red cloth cover. Size : 17,5 x 12,5 cm A treasure trove of information on the Games and their surroundings (ads for athletes' shoes, etc.)... For everything you need to know about these little-known and mistreated Games. Complement to the previous issue. Attention with eight full-page photos on "Anthropological days". With the golden mention of Alonzo A.Stagg on the cover (perhaps his copy?), he was the coach of the Chicago track and field team...So a nice story to boot.
