Later examples (ones printed for later games) had an all orange cover.

The listing only had the front page and the scorecard page, so it was a cool surprise to see the ticket stub taped into the program behind the newspaper article.

The scorecard is filled out including Paige in the game, though the newspaper clipping does not show him. The Paige All-Stars had Artie Wilson, Henry Thompson, Quincy Trouppe, Howard Easterling, Buck O'Neil etc. The Feller team had Phil Rizzutto, Bob Lemon etc.

The Feller All-Stars won the majority of the games of the series, though the Paige All-Stars won this one.

Good one, Jeff!
