NEW YORK TIMES, June 23, 1939
* Lou Gehrig's baseball career ends
* Infantile Paralysis diagnosis
* Best title to be had ?
Page 24 has various baseball reports with two column headlines: "Gehrig Is Amazed and Cheered As Messages From Fans Pour In" "Stricken Star Avoids a Demonstration at Stadium by Staying in Dugout--Move Is On to Set Aside a Day for Him" with smaller subheads.
See photos for text concerning his recent diagnosis of Infantile Paralysis just three days earlier. He announced his affliction just 2 days prior to this date. Nice to have in this famous newspaper.
Complete in 42 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional use. Very nice condition.
