October 10, 1919
SPRINGFIELD DAILY REPUBLICAN, Massachusetts, a set of nine consecutive and complete newspapers ranging from October 2 thru and including October 10, 1919.
This is one of the more notable of all World Series contests ever played, as several of the Chicago players were charged with "fixing" the Series to allow the Cincinnati Reds to win, which indeed they did.
The photos below show the headlines which appear on each of the front pages. They include:
October 2: "Over-Anxiety Of Risberg Helped In Chicago's Defeat" with various subheads. Also see page 14 banner headlines and photos.
October 3: "Timely Hits After Passes Give Cincy Second Victory" with various subheads & the box score. Also see page 17 banner headlines and photo.
October 4: "Kerr Rises To Premier Post By Shutout Of Cincy Reds" with various subheads and box score. Also see page 14 banner headlines and photos.
October 5: "Reds Are Winning Because They Possess The 'Punch' " with various subheads.
October 6: "Wet Weather Halts World's Series Classic" with various subheads.
October 7: "Massed Attack Again Wins For Onward-Sweeping Reds" with various subheads and box score. Also see page 14 banner headlines and photos.
October 8: "White Sox Triumph In 10th In Poorest Game In Series" with various subheads and box score. Also see pg. 18 banner headlines and photos.
October 9: "Veteran Pitcher, Cicotte, Downs Reds In Third Try" with various subheads and box score. Also see page 14 for banner headlines and nice photos of Joe Jackson, John Collins, and Eddic Cicotte.
October 10: "Rocky Contest Ends With Reds Champions Of World" with various subheads and box score. Also see pg. 12 for banner headlines and a team photo of the World Series champions Cincinnati Reds.
All nine newspapers are still bound together as I felt it was the best way for the collection to stay intact. Each issue can, however, but separated from the others should that be your desire.
Each newspaper is complete, ranging from 14 to 20+ pages per issue. Each issue is also in nice condition, with various archival mends near the margins, likely done by the library which originally held the collection. These mends are rather minor & discreet and do not cause any loss of readability.
