Sport Story Magazine v62n05 (1939-03-01.Street & Smith) cover Modest Stein (Darwin Edit)

Modest Stein, 1939.

 

I think Michelle Nolan remarked that this is the only sports pulp to feature women athletes on the cover. Not your average Modest Stein cover, but a neat painting expressing a dynamic energy and the joy of sport. Sport Story celebrated it's 100th anniversary last year, and I like this issue as a celebration of women in sport, too.

 

As a father and also a coach of many teams of both boys and girls, I firmly believe in benefit of sport for every type of kid (and adult for that matter). The stories in sports pulp usually follow a formula of triumph through adversity, but the road to triumph takes many forms, often having more to do with teamwork and knowledge gained than any physical feat.

 

At least 3 stories within were written by Jackson Scholz, three time Olympian.
