THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Mass., Aug. 14, 1934

* Jackie Mitchell, girl baseball pitcher
* Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig strikeouts fame
* Barnstorming tour stop with photo


The sport's section (page 16) has a two column heading: "Girl Pitcher on Pony Mound Under Floodlights Tonight" with subhead and photo of Mitchell. (see images)
Complete with 20 pages, light toning and some wear at the margins, generally good. Should be handled with care.

Note: Jackie Mitchell is best known for her remarkable performance on April 2, 1931, when, at the age of 17, she struck out baseball legends Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in an exhibition game while pitching for the Chattanooga Lookouts . Following this event, Mitchell continued to pitch in exhibition games and barnstorming tours across the country.
