June 11, 1932

THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 11, 1932

* Gene Sarazen wins British Open
* American professional golfer


The top of the front page has a two column heading: "Sarazen Wins the British Open Golf Title; Lowers Bobby Jones's Record by 2 Strokes" First report coverage continues in the sport's section (page 10) with photo and stats.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 32 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. Nice condition.
