June 23, 1939

NEW YORK TIMES, June 23, 1939  Page 24 has various baseball reports with two column headlines: "Gehrig Is Amazed and Cheered As Messages From Fans Pour In" "Stricken Star Avoids a Demonstration at Stadium by Staying in Dugout--Move Is On to Set Aside a Day for Him" with smaller subheads.
See photos for text concerning his recent diagnosis of Infantile Paralysis just three days earlier. He announced his affliction just 2 days prior to this date. Nice to have in this famous newspaper.
Complete in 42 pages, very nice condition.
