Show 3 1 gnew bew york fork post service vice kiy not give fans in Sin smaller aller cities dream ganie game break the upshot of 0 a lot of listening and nd noting I 1 did at the recent all star sr game in in washington washing ton is that I 1 have an idea aside from proving that hat if a reporter has strong legs irid ind an AD ear car trumpet he can always get et pieces done for the papers this hiis idea is that far better use could be made of baseballs dream pine ame last year boston usually a good sports ports town failed to sell out for the contest this year washington a t smaller city not given to making millionaires aires out of its sports promoters was demanding twice as many tickets as were available why chy the reason seems to me to tse that washington is a town represented in only one league while boston can gander at both organizations therefore washington is eager ager to peer at the dizzy deans hubbells Hub bells mangos and equally celebrated colleagues who perform their chores in the other circuit similarly cincinnati is most interested te in getting the game next year when it is the national leagues turn to entertain then the good burg burghers bers will have a chance to peer at Geh rigs and other baseball who never previously have stepped down tine street do you get the idea then let us jet get on with the improvement on it greater new york possessed of three big time teams can be very well pleased with the ne news ws that lous gehrig Geh rigs s home run and do double ble accounted for f four 0 u r runs and thus beat the national league total single handed there also alib w was a s pleasure in the news lou that red rolfe and gearig bill dickey were performing as if t the h e world series checks were down that lefty gomez did the most accomplished complis hed pitching of the afternoon and that even the longest folks must now forget joe di mag gios disaster twelve months ago greater new york did not devote too toe much time to worrying because carl hubbell looked like a latting batting practice pitcher neither was vas there too much repining be cause aase biel alel harder ran his total of scoreless pitching innings up to 13 for four allstar all star games that to a town with three teams is as much applesauce as the additional news that dizzy dean was pitching like the real dizzy until lie he ran into Geh rigs homer maybe it means the cards paced by joe medwick who obtained a cool four hits bits in five trips to the plate will more than vex our ambitious giants later but as has been suggested why should new york worry new york has three teams and almost every day it can see the nations best est performers therefore new york is used to such ach things and can take them in 2 calm turnstile tickling stride but unit ahat about the buffaloes the kansas hansas SP cities the the bal temores and other metropolises ses somewhat off the big time baseball track most of them are fair sized cities chere were baseball occupies a ma major
