A thought-provoking "brochette" of sports celebrities gathered February 21, 1957 at Toronto's Royal York Hotel and dined on roast sirloin, with close to two dozen autographing this 6" by 9" program/menu. The title page is signed by Conn Smythe and goaltending great Tiny Thompson, while the inside front cover includes the sigs of King Clancy, Happy Day, Lynn Patrick, Sweeney Schriner, Howie Meeker, football great Tex Coulter, boxer Floyd Patterson, baseball's Don Larsen, golfer Marlene Stewart and others. Eight-page affair shows moderate handling/wear and pictures some of the invited guests in a neat centerfold spread, with honored guests from previous years and the event's history also listed. Please see our website for additional autographs. We also can decipher the autographs of speedboat racer Donald Campbell, golfer Chick Evans, swimmer George Young, lacrosse's Eddie Longfellow, wrestler Whipper Billy Watson, football's Billy Graham, and baseball umpires Babe Pirelli and Ed Runge.
