LEOMINSTER DAILY ENTERPRISE, Leominster, Massachusetts, August 7, 1952  This 14 page newspaper has a two column headline on page 11: "The Picture in the Major Leagues".

This tells of Cleveland Indians pitcher Satchel Paige becoming the oldest pitcher in major league history to hurl a complete-game shutout by beating the Detroit Tigers 1-0. He was approximately 46 years old.

Other news of the day. Light browning with minor margin wear, otherwise in good condition.
