Joe Dimaggio nears the end of his hitting streak (54)...



Item # 711895

July 15, 1941

NEW YORK WORLD-TELEGRAM, July 15, 1941

* Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak nears the end (54)
* New York Yankees - Major league baseball

The sports section (page 21) has a three column heading: "Indians Whittle Yankee Lead to 4 Games" with subhead: "Di Maggio Stretches Skein to 54 Games" (see images) Page 23 has a four column photo with heading: "Here's Play That Kept Di Maggio's Streak Intact" Includes stats and MLB standings. Joe DiMaggio would extend his hitting streak to just two more games (56), where it would end. Nice to have in a NYC publication.
Complete in 30 pages, light toning at the margins, small binding holes along the spine, generally nice.
