WHY I AM UNALTERABLY OPPOSED TO THE SIT-DOWN STRIKE by WILLIAM GREEN, President of the American Federation of Labor ----------- 2 ----------- HOW TO WATCH A WORLD SERIES BALL GAME by Joe DiMagg ----------- 3 ----------- BY FANNIE KILBOURNE From a gifted author: A heart-warming tale of youth and love and romance against odds ----------- 4 ----------- READING TIME 10 MINUTES 35 SECONDS SUPPOSE I should admit at the beginning that the only World Series games I ever saw were from center field. Last year, when the Yanks beat the Giants, it was my first World Series. There I was out there in center field for the Yanks, going after those drives of Ott, Terry, Mancuso, and the rest of the Giants, and in the first year of my major-league playing. I got as much of a thrill out of that series as the thousands who filled the Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds each game of the series. Here I am seeing my second World Series from that same spot, out in the center garden. Maybe I never will see a World Series game from the stands. That's O. K. with me as long as I see the next one from where I saw the last one. A World Series game isn't. much different from a regular game, except that there is more at stake and more excitement. I guess the players feel a little more tense, just like the fans. We've been playing against the same teams all season and know what to expect. But in a World Series game we're up against a different situation. We don't know as much about the Giants, the Cubs, or the Cards, so aren't so sure what will happen. And you can always look for the unexpected in a World Series. Every player has his off days in the field and at the plate during the season. But in a series, one off day can be disastrous. And when the pressure is on, you're likely to be overanxious. " I'm not worried about my hitting in this series. But I sure would feel better if I knew just where Ott of the Giants, Gabby" Hartnett of the Cubs, or Medwick of the Cards was going to hit when he comes up. An error or a badly played hit may mean the difference be- tween victory or defeat for a world's championship. So you can understand why right now I am looking forward to that last out so I can get out to San Francisco and be with my dad at Joe DiMaggio's Grotto down on Fisher- men's Wharf. I guess I'd rather be out there talking with dad and the boys than hitting against Hubbell, Lee, or Dean. Although a player soon gets used to the crowds and the noise, I guess we feel about the same way the person in the stands does in the last half of the ninth with the winning run on third. I remember many times when I used only the front ten cents' worth of my bleacher seat when the San Francisco Seals' slugger was coming up in such a spot. Playing out there in center field, waiting for Gehringer or Averill to lay one out my way, I get a chance to do a little thinking. Usually I am pretty busy playing the batter and figuring out what to do under the set-up. But I can't help but hear the "bleacher bugs" yelling and whistling. And then I steal a glance up around the stands and say to myself, "Boy, if they only knew what I know, with Travis coming up! " Maybe some of the people who follow the game closely and are dyed-in-the-wool fans see the infield move toward third base. Gehrig and Lazzeri move closer to second, and Crosetti and Rolfe move toward the third-base line. And the outfield shifts to the left. You see, Travis of Washington is what we call a left-field hitter. We know that about seven out of ten times he will hit to left. This doesn't mean that we are going to get him out every time But we figure we have a better chance of becomes un ----------- 5 ----------- I Talk With China's Mysterious American Girl BY VICTOR KEEN ----------- 6 ----------- Casanova's Women.
