Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience.

Today we're out at the polar ground, that historical home of the New York Giant,

nestled in the Lee of Cooganens Bluff on the island of Manhattan.

The occasion of course is a playing of the second annual All-Star Baseball game

between the outstanding performers of the National and the American League.

And boy, what an aggregation of Paul Sautchers are wandering

around there down there on that field right now the pick of the world and no question

about that the crowd is tremendous and and packed all the way around.

If you don't know the polo ground, I'll just tell you quickly that it is a double-decking affair

running about four-fifths to five-sixths of the way around the entire enclosure.

There are, there's only a small part of the grounds out in center field which is devoted to the bleachers.

The rep is all double-decked grandstand. The graph looks as

though it were absolutely as fine as the finest type of golf course green. It's perfect out there

today and Henry Fabian has certainly done a great job.

Every seat in the house is filled now, almost at least. I can't see any vacancies any place from my place up here in the in the second tier off third base.

It's just about a capacity crowd right now and undoubtedly every inch of the

standing room will be taken before game time which is in just a little less than 15 minutes.

The boys have drawn an absolutely perfect day for baseball.

It's not too hot, but it's mighty hot enough to get a good

sweat up when you're working out there on the field but not too hot and to be

not hot enough to be uncomfortable for the spectators, the customers.

So it's just perfect all the way around.
