[Ads-l] Antedating of "Lindy Hop"

[Peter Reitan]

The 1925 citation is misdated.  There's a report of a recent fight between Loughran and Lomski discussed on the same page. The fight took place in January 1928. Another item on the page refers to baseball teams planning to hire new managers in 1929.
