* Boston Red Sox 1st Sunday game  
* Blue law broken for 1st time 

This 48 page newspaper has one column headline on page 18 that include: "ATHLETICS CONQUER RED SOX BY 7 TO 3" "Triumph Before 23,000 in First Major League Sunday Game Staged in Boston" and more with box scores. (see)

Tells of the very first MLB baseball game held in Boston MA on a Sunday. Due to Fenway's proximity to a church and the resulting protesters, the Red Sox game was played one mile West of their home at Braves Field.

Other news of the day throughout. Light browning, otherwise good.
