Description: MID-WEEK PICTORIAL (April 14, 1921) ~ An Illustrated Weekly Published by The New York Times Company (Vol. XIII, No. 7) (No address label on cover) (Hard to Find) This is an original, complete 1921 Mid-Week Pictorial (over 100 years old) On the cover: "PLAY BALL!" "BABE" RUTH: Mightiest of home-run hitters, who hopes this year to excel his record of 54 home runs made in 1920. The photo shows the terrific front page graphic of Babe Ruth marking the start of the 1921 baseball season; early for Ruth as a Yankee, as this would be Ruth's second year in a Yankee uniform. Inside are pictures {many future hall of famers} of Eddie Collins (Crack second baseman of the Chicago White Sox, who has made 2,180 hits); George Sisler (Of the St. Louis Browns, who led the American League last year in batting; his hits total 1,026); Ty Cobb (King of ball players, who has gathered in 2,858 hits during his career); Harry Hooper (Sterling outfielder of the Red Sox last season, who has made 1,707 hits); Tris Speaker (Captain and centre fielder of the champion Clevelands, who has made 2,233 hits in his major league career); Clyde Milan (Of the Washingtons, who has accumulated 1,966 hits by his consistent batting); Duffy Lewis (Of last year's Yankees, whose hits have carried him to first base or further 1,499 times); Eddie Foster ({Red Sox} Who is in the select class of batters, having made 1,288 hits); more..... Interesting picture out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin showing a motorcycle fire engine, Milwaukee being the first American city to adopt it. More great pictures of the time are inside (above are some of the pictures in the Pictorial). The Mid-Week Pictorial measures about 11" x 16" with 24 pages; Very nice condition with some natural age browning; small tear at the very bottom of page 2 is archivally mended and is barely noticeable (see last picture); several pages have tiny nicks on edge (see pictures). Great for display. Any questions, please contact me.
