NEW YORK TIMES, August 19, 1948  

* Babe Ruth death - Yankee Stadium viewing
* Best publication to be had ? (rare as such)

The front page has a two column heading: "77,000 File by Ruth's Bier; Cardinal to Preside at Mass" Ruth died just three days prior. Great to have this report in a New York newspaper.
Complete in 44 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on high-quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. Great condition.
