* Joe Tinker death... Chicago Cubs shortstop 


This 14 page newspaper has a two column headline on the front page: "Joe Tinker Succumbs, 68, Last Surviving Member Of Illustrious Infield" with photo of Tinker.  Nice to have on the front page.

The issue also includes coverage of Harry Truman's Executive Order prohibiting racial bias in the military.

Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Light browning with little spine wear, otherwise good condition.
