Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen of the United States.

This is George Hicks, the National Broadcasting Company.

This is the world series of 1937.

We're speaking from our box directly behind home place on the lip of the

third here at Yankee Stadium in New York City. But you fans don't need to have me tell you what this is all about.

It's the New York Yankees World Champions of 1936

again 20 winners this year in the American League

versus the New York Giants,

National League Champions of 1937,

and for the world championship in baseball.

And this is the fifth World Series

since the beginning in

1,905 between the two New York teams.

Well, we've been in our chair since 11 a.m.

this morning, now 115. breaches bending in an irregular curve from middle left field around to middle right

were packed solid on our arrival this morning and And the third tier of moderate-type reserve seats were also

packed at that time, except the extreme tips at north and right field, and now they're filling

up. The expensive boxes and first layer here are now filled

practically except for the last moment of rivals. There must easily be 50,000 or a little more

here now before game starts and they're still pouring in.
