The front page has a one column heading: "HORNSBY IS TRADED 'FOR GOOD OF GIANTS'" with subheads. First report coverage on the New York Giants trading Rogers Hornsby to the Boston Braves. Lengthy report continues inside with photo.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 60 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
