CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, November 2, 1938

* Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral (1st report)
* Thoroughbred horse racing
* Famous 'Match of the Century'


The front page of section 2 (sports) has a great banner headline: "SEABISCUIT WINS; BREAKS RECORD AT PIMLICO" with subheads and small photo. (see) Nice related action photo on the back page. First report coverage on the 'Match of the Century" between Seabiscuit and War Admiral at Pimlico Race Course. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 pages, this is the "rag edition" printed on very high quality newsprint meant for institutional holdings. A few small binding holes and a little wear at the blank spine, otherwise in great condition
