CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, March 5, 1946

* Jackie Robinson 1st step into MLB
* Spring training debut (historic)
* Winston Churchill gets ready for speech
* Fulton, Missouri "Iron Curtain Speech"

Page 22 has a somewhat discrete article with a one column heading: "2 Negro Players Start Workout With Montreal" First report coverage on Jackie Robinson making his debut into the Majors at spring training. He would make the farm team shortly after. Historic report on the 1st African American to play MLB.
Complete with all 34 pages, light toning at the margins, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
