    There should be 16 parts in total, I think.

    Each says what the next is about, so you can see if there are any gaps between issues.

    The one from the 27th says installment 10.

    The last one I've got says the next one will be written by his wife. So that works out as 16. With the missing ones all being before the one from the 27th

    From what each says about them, I think there's one missing on the 25th, and the rest of the missing ones are before Apr 24th

    Actually, there might have been more. I have the first 15, and the last of these announces a story of Johnson's relationship with women in next issue, but I never found it.

    1. Jack Dempsey overrated
    2. Feels sorry for Dempsey regarding his bout in Chicago vs Tunney
    3. Wills would have been easy for Dempsey
    4. Mason-Dixon line jinx to black boxers
    5. Steve Brodie's jump off the bridge, 1st meeting with Joe Walcott
    6. Battle royal, how George Siler discovered Johnson
    7. Joe Walcott great champion
    8. Leonard best of moderns
    9. Faked the KD in Ketchell bout
    10. Fitz greatest heavyweight, gives a list of top 12 heavyweights
    11. Tom Sharkey
    12. Johnson's advice to Young Corbett helped him beat Terry McGovern
    13. Johnson-Jeffries bout
    14. Joe Grimm bout
    15. Dive vs Jess Willard
