John R. Tunis

 * ... that John R. Tunis, who has been called the 'inventor of the modern sports story', took part in the first trans-Atlantic sportscast and the first broadcast of the Wimbledon Championship to the U.S.?


 * By my calculation the edit as of 20:42, July 18, 2012 was a hendecupling (eleven time) expansion of the prose. The details from the hook appears in the second paragraph of the Early career section.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:56, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
