The top of the front page has a two column heading: "Leopold Ascends Belgian Throne; Pledge to Serve Nation Cheered" with subhead. (see) Continues on page 3 with photos and lengthy text.
The sport's section (page 9) has one column headings that include: "STENGEL IS SIGNED AS DODGERS' PILOT" "Successor to Carey Receives a Two-Year Contract--Salary Not Revealed" and more with one column photo of Stengel. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication, especially on this topic.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 30 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Very nice condition.
