Scope and content
ca. 1935. United States Representative Wesley Lloyd buying tickets to a fight. An unidentified woman giving Rep. Lloyd a ticket that reads "St. Luke's Benefit Golden Gloves Tournament." Copy of drawing of the ivy-covered old St. Luke's is held by Rep. Lloyd. This was most probably a fund raiser for the relocation of St. Luke's Episcopal Church to 3601 No. Gove Street. The tournament, held on November 27, 1935, featured the Pierce County Amateur Athletic Club vs. the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club of Portland. Tickets were 40 cents apiece. Rep. Lloyd died suddenly January 10, 1936 of a heart attack while fulfilling his second consecutive term as representative for the 6th Congressional District. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma Times.
