"For the First Time Anywhere"--The original "Battle of the Sexes"

Long before Armageddon in 2003 when Chris Jericho and Christian vs. Trish Stratus and Lita, long before The Battle of Champions in 1973 when Jimmy Connors vs. Martina Navratilova in the best of three sets and hybrid rules favoring the female player, there occurred the first Battle of the Sexes, Stark vs. Beatty. The day Mable threw down on Clyde was Dec. 12, 1934.
