The front page of the sport's section (pg. 11) has a three-column heading: "DiMaggio, One All-Time Record Broken, Seeks Another Mark". with subheads. (see images) First report coverage on Joe DiMaggio breaking Willie Keeler's MLB game hitting streak record. DiMaggio would continue his hitting streak to 56 games, ending on July 17, a record which has yet to be broken and is considered one of the most difficult records to break.
Complete with 24 pages, light toning at the margins, some small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
