THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 10, 1947

The sport's section (page 16) has one column headings: "ROBINSON REVEALS WRITTEN THREATS" Dodgers' Negro Star Told in Anonymous Letters to 'Get Out of Baseball'" See images for text here. This event was mentioned in the blockbuster movie "42". 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 30 pages, light toning at the margins, nice condition.
