This broadside is roughly 3' x 2'.

There is a lot going on on it, and the focus at the time was certain the air show. But in the middle of the poster is a mention of a baseball game between a team from Jamestown and a team from Bismarck.

The Bismarck team, today sometimes referred to as the Bismarck Churchills (the owner was Neil Churchill) was an integrated team featuring Negro League greats such as Satchel Paige, Hilton Brown, Quincy Trouppe and others. The print below the mention of the game might be too small to read in the photo, but it mentions that Satchel Paige will be facing Ray Starr. (There was a last-minute change and the Churchills ended up playing against the Twin City Colored Giants.)

The Bismarck team won 21-6. Newspaper reports tell that Paige sat his fielders for the 9th, though the paper reports that this led to two runs scoring, including one homerun, so it wasn't as magical as might be imaged.

Paige did have 4 hits in the game and struck out 11. HOF pitcher Hilton Smith played right field and had 2 hits as well.
