This issue features a one column heading on page 11, which reads: "GEHRIG SETS MARK AS YANKEES LOSE" with subheads that include: "Lou Engages in 1,308th Game in a Row--Honored at Ceremony in St. Louis" "Browns Score by 7-6", and "Win in 10th After Hornsby's Pinch Homer Ties Count in 9th-Ruth Hits Number 27". A summary of the game is included, which talks about Gehrig's record, plus the box score. Also a two line, 2 column headline reads: "Many Brilliant Feats Performed by Gehrig On Way to New Baseball Endurance Record". Above this report is a nice two column photo of Gehrig swinging a bat.
