While six cover various fights, both victories and losses by The Manassas Mauler, Jack Dempsey, one from The Daily State Gazette of Trenton, New Jersey is from July 5, 1910, cover the "Fight of the Century" between Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson in Reno, Nevada.
The headline reads, "Jim Jeffries Put to Sleep By Jack Johnson in 15th."
