By Neil Paquette

In the early 1900s, Chicago was the undisputed capital of sports journalism. The city's two leading newspapers, the Tribune and the Daily News, were locked in a fierce rivalry that would come to be known as the "Brotherhood War."

The Tribune was the older and more established paper, with a reputation for stodgy conservatism. The Daily News, on the other hand, was a brash upstart, known for its sensationalism and its willingness to take risks.

The Brotherhood War was fought on many fronts, but it was most intense in the sports pages. The Tribune and the Daily News each had a stable of talented sportswriters, and they competed fiercely for scoops and exclusives.

One of the most famous sportswriters of the era was Hugh Fullerton, who wrote for the Tribune. Fullerton was a brilliant reporter and a gifted storyteller, and he was known for his colorful prose and his sharp wit.

Another famous sportswriter of the era was Ring Lardner, who wrote for the Daily News. Lardner was a master of satire and humor, and he was known for his hilarious columns about the world of sports.

The Brotherhood War had a profound impact on sports journalism. It helped to make sports writing more popular and more respected, and it paved the way for the modern sports journalism industry.

In The Brotherhood War, Neil Paquette tells the story of this fierce rivalry and its impact on the world of sports journalism. Paquette's book is a fascinating and entertaining read, and it is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the history of sports or journalism.
