Item # 664827

July 11, 1941

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 11, 1941

* Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak reaches 49
* New York Yankees - MLB baseball
* Best title to be had ?


The sport's section (page 20) has headings: "Yanks Triumph" "DiMaggio Runs Streak to 49 Games As Yanks Halt Browns at Night, 1-0" and more with box scores.
(see) First report coverage on Joe DiMaggio's famous hitting streak making the 49th game mark. He would end up with 56 games in a row. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication, especially on this topic.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 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.
