December 16, 1931

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 16, 1931

* Lou Gehrig breaks season record
* RBI runs batted in American League
* Lefty Grove AL pitcher of the year
* MLB major league baseball


The sport's section (page 33) has a one column heading: "GEHRIG'S 184 RUNS NEW LEAGUE RECORD" with subheads and photo. (see) Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Also a two column heading: "American League Pitchers Led By Grove in 1931, Records Show" with subhead and photo. (see)
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 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.  Minor margin wear, nice condition.
