The front page has a one column photo of Lou Gehrig with heading: "Lou Gehrig Equals Playing Record in 1307th Game"
The sport's section (page 16) has two column headings that include: "Gehrig Ties Endurance Mark but Yanks Are Snowed Under" and more with nice related illustration. This is 1st report coverage on Lou Gehrig tying the most consecutive games played record that was then co-held with Everett Scott. Of course he would break the record and end up with a long standing record of 2,130 games until Cal Ripken Jr. broke it in 1995.
