''New York Daily News'' of 17 August 1948 reports on the death of the ''King of Swat'' with full page photo of Ruth in his heyday. His final public photo is featured on an interior page along with tributes and stories about his life. Among the mourners, President Truman is reported to have sent his condolences to Mrs. Ruth. Moderate toning and soiling, with chipping to edge of to 11.5'' x 15.5'' paper; very good.
