Centennial Edition Newspaper Appraisal

Centennial Edition Newspaper Page

This is a single page from a newspaper titled "CENTENNIAL Edition." The headline reads "Saints Defeat Louisville, 5-3." Below the main headline, there is a sports section with the banner "SPORTS" and the sub-headline "Thompson, Cooper Win Relay Events." A prominent graphic depicts "47 YEARS IN THE A.A. 1902-1949." This graphic features illustrations related to baseball. Other articles visible include "Harry Taylor Reports, Signs Saint Contract," "Stranahan Wins Title, 2-1," "Gopher Hurdler Sets Iowa Relay Mark," "Millers Rip Birds, 12-4, For 2d Win," "Cabs Whip Cards, 11-7," and "Wilson Checks 'Scholarships'." The newspaper is printed on aged newsprint paper, which appears yellowed and shows signs of wear along the edges and creases. There are visible folds and a tear on the right side. The printing is black ink. The condition suggests it has been handled and stored. The time frame indicated on the graphic (1902-1949) and the "CENTENNIAL Edition" title suggest a publication date around 1949. The newspaper page has a rough texture typical of older newsprint. The overall aesthetic is that of a historical document capturing sports news from the mid-20th century.
