Sports illustrated issues from January 7, 1958 to March 8, 1959, inclusive, did not have their copyrights renewed. This photo was taken by staff photographer John G. Zimmerman and was a work for hire, so the copyright was owned by the magazine and entered the public domain when the copyright was not renewed in 1986.
