All Sports Magazine [1936]

Country: US
Total Issues: 4?

Title given as "Frank G. Menke's All Sports Magazine" on the cover. Subtitled "Facts-Fancies-Figures-Fiction Running the Gamut of Sportdom".

Although the word "Fiction" appears on the covers, this barely qualifies as a fictionmag, as it is almost all non-fiction. The vast majority of the contents are sports coverage of the era -- news, anecdotes, trivia, statistics, etc. covering virtually all sports played in the US.
