October 08, 1930

THE DAY, New London, Connecticut, October 8, 1930 

* Philadelphia Athletics baseball champions
* St. Louis Cardinals
* World Series final game


This 18 page newspaper has a four column headline on the front page: "Athletics Win World Series Taking Fourth Victory Over Cardinals, 7-1; Simmons and Dykes Belt Homers," with subhead and inning by inning recap also on the front page.

Other news of the day throughout. Some binding holes along the spine with little browning around the margins, otherwise good.
