ROGERS" WHO I AM ASUMING WAS A RE-SELLER OF THE ANNUAL SPORTS JOURNAL AS HE HAS A STAMP IN THE FRONT OF THE BOOK (SEE PICTURES BUT THAT PAGE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION) AS A SELLER OF CIGARS AND NEWSPAPERS. IT IS HIS ORIGINAL SIGNATURE ON THE BACK NOT A PHOTO COPY. HARD TO FIND ANY ADDITIONAL INFO ON HIM. THE BUILDING YOU SEE ON THE ADDITIONAL PAGE IS THAT OF THE NEW YORK SPORTING JOURNAL BUILT IN 1869 AND OBVIOUSLY VERY PROUDLY DISPLAYED IN MANY OF THEIR ADS.
