1925 Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Senators...



Item # 692636

October 10, 1925

FITCHBURG SENTINEL-- EXTRA, Massachusetts, Oct. 10, 1925  The front page has banner headline: "SENATORS TAKE THIRD" which appears only in this "Extra" edition later in the day, as the "regular" edition just reports on the game to be played. Pittsburgh would go on and eventually win the series.
Also of interest is a half column report headed: "Pay Mathewson Last Tribute" "Friends View Features of 'Big Six'; Lewisburg Halts Business During Services".
The report is datelined Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, as he was a graduate of Bucknell University in Lewisburg (current football stadium is named for him as he was a standout fullback & kicker). "Matty" was one of the original five inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Complete in 14 pages, nice condition.
