SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN, Springfield, Massachusetts, September 21, 1924  This 40+ page newspaper has a banner headline on the front page of the sport's section (inside): "PIRATES BEAT BROOKLYN AND GIANTS LOSE TO CUBS" with subheads that include: "Cubs Score Four Runs in 12th to Beat Giants by 7 to 3..." and more with box scores. (see)

Though not mentioned within the report, this was Grover Cleveland Alexander's 300th career victory. 'Old Pete' would collect 373 victories during his 20-year career. My guess is that such accomplishments were not reported this early in baseball.

Other news of the day. Usual browning with little margin wear, otherwise good.
