The front page has a great banner headline: "YANKEES DEFEAT CUBS" with subheads,, large box scores, inning-by-inning coverage, and even more. Great for display and unusual for such a nice headline on the front page. And of course great to have in a New York City. newspaper. More coverage in the sport's section as well.
Complete in 46 pages, small library stamp within the masthead, small binding holes at the blank spine, nice condition.
AI notes: The 1938 World Series, played from October 5 to 12, featured the New York Yankees sweeping the Chicago Cubs 4-0 to win their third straight championship and seventh overall. The Yankees dominated with strong pitching and powerful hitting from stars like Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig. October 4 was the day before the series began, with both teams preparing for the opening game.
