star baseball game between the outstanding performers of the National and the American League.

And boy, what an aggregation of fall saucers are wandering around there, down there on that

field right now. The pick of the world. No question about that. The crowd is tremendous,

stands attacked all the way around. If you don't know the polo ground, I'll just tell you

quickly that it is a double-decked

affair running about four-fifth to five-sixth of the way around the entire enclosure.

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

The rest is all double-deck grandstands.

The grass looks as though it were absolutely as fine as the finest type of golf course dreams.

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 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 plenty hot enough to get a good sweat up when you're working

out there on the field, but not too hot and not hot enough to be uncomfortable for the

spectators, the customers.

So it's just perfect all the way around. There's a slight breeze blowing, but not enough to be uncomfortable for the spectators, the customers. So it's just perfect all the way around, as a slight breeze blowing, but not enough to affect fly balls in particular. You know, last year the first of these All-Star games was played out at Trimisky Field at Chicago,

and that ended with a victory for the younger league, the American, the final score being 4 to nothing. That day a young fellow who had his 20th birthday in big league's baseball, only the day before

yesterday, and who intends to quit as a regular at the end of this season.
