Happy 125th Year Birthday WSJ!

125 years ago today, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published its first edition on July 8, 1889.

Yes, sports were covered in the first Journal. Then champion John L. Sullivan took on Jake Kilrain in what would be the last world heavyweight championship bare-knuckled prize fight.

The Journal predicted a Sullivan win. However, in this first WSJ edition, the Baltimore American put up a bulletin that there was a rumor to effect that Kilrain had won and Sullivan's backer's were holding the wire to hedge on bets.

The Journal's own report proved correct when Kilrain's corner surrendered after the 75th round.
