Item # 691420 ·
NEW YORK TIMES, July 7, 1945

The sports page has one column heads: "HOLMES SETS MARK AS BRAVES WIN TWO" "Hits in 34th Straight Contest for National League Record..." with smaller subheads, box scores and photo of Tommy Holmes.
A fine article reporting Tommy Holmes breaking Rogers Hornsby's National League record. Homes would go on to safely in 37 games, a record that would stand until broken by Pete Rose in 1978.
