AKRON BEACON JOURNAL, Ohio, August 17, 1948 

* Babe Ruth death (1st report)
* New York Yankees


The front page has a nice five column headline: "Nation Mourns Ruth's Passing" with subhead and large photo. (see)
Page 2 has a banner headline: "'But What The Heck, It Was Fun'--Babe Ruth" with pictorial.
Incomplete issue containing the front and back leafs of the 1st section only (4 pages total), some small archival mends to the margins on the inside, other minor wear, nice for display as such.
