THE NEW YORK TIMES, sport's section only, August 28, 1949
* Hammonton NJ New Jersey
* Little League baseball
* World Series champions
Page 3 of this section has a small and discrete one column heading: "Hammonton Nine Wins Title" with brief text. (see) First report coverage on the little league baseball team from Hammonton, New Jersey winning the World Series championship at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not, probably because this series wasn't recognized back then as it is today. Also the reason for the small and discrete report here, it is what it is.
Other sporting news of the day. Complete sport's section only with all 8 pages, rag edition in nice condition.
