The front page has" "Lavagetto Double Robs Bevens of No-Hitter - Wins for Dodgers, 3-2", with subhead, "Big Blow Comes With Two Out in Ninth... Brooklyn Goes Wild Over Dramatic Finish", with supporting text, the box score, and a nice related photo. Great to have on the front page of a newspaper. Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 pages, minor margin wear and edge chipping, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: For 8 innings in Game 4 of the 1947 World Series Bevens did not allow a single hit. He did, however, give up a World Series record 10 walks and the Yankees were nursing a 2–1 lead over the Dodgers. Walks to Carl Furillo and Pete Reiser (Al Gionfriddo was brought in to pinch run for Furillo and Eddie Miksis was brought in to pinch run for the injury-slowed Reiser) brought aging pinch hitter Cookie Lavagetto to the plate. With 2 outs and 2 on in the bottom of the ninth Lavagetto lined a double to right field scoring both runners and winning the game for the Dodgers with their only hit.
