Two women, recorded as Mrs. Edwards and Frl. Kussin, are the subject here, and the title points to a boxing session rather than a general sports scene. The record gives no date, and the wording comes from caption data the Bain News Service wrote on the negative, which has not been independently verified. Bain's New York agency supplied newspapers with photographs of current events in the early twentieth century, when women's boxing was usually staged as exhibition work rather than sanctioned competition. The German title Frl. (Miss) reflects the immigrant communities that shaped the city's sporting life at the time.
