Spaceball fans of the nation, welcome to the All-Star Games. This is Bob Elton of station WGN, Chicago,

speaking to you from Crosley Field in Cincinnati, where this afternoon the mutual broadcasting system and associated stations are very happy to bring you a running story of the sixth annual All-Star Games.

I'm going to tell you for just a minute. There's something about the picture here,

and then I'm going to turn you over to Dick Gray of our mutual outlet here in Cincinnati,

radio station WFAI, who's familiar with Redlin Field or Cawley Field here in Cincinnati.

To give you a picture of this wonderful setting we have before us this afternoon, the two things that I want to tell you is first that it's a glorious day. It's a bright, sunshiny day. It's one of the nicest days that I've ever seen for an all-style game. Last year in Washington, we had a beautiful day, but it was awfully, awfully hot. Today, the temperature is just about right, and it's a grand setting. We have a wonderful crowd, as you can imagine, and I will tell you that the starting pitchers are going to be Van the Mayor for the National League and Domez, the left-hander for the American League. You know the American League sort of feels that Dormez is a lucky omen for them. He started four games and four games they've won. And so this afternoon there going to be Luffy Gomez of Joe McCarthy's plan from the

York.

It's going to be put it against these national leaguers in the sixth annual all-star game.

It's just about 14 minutes before game time now.

The pitchers have started to warm up.

I might tell you, too, that our mutual broadcasting booth is in a wonderful spot up here,

high up above on top of the stands, just a little bit to the first base-out of home plate. And Dick and I will be in a grand spot here this afternoon to tell you every play and every trim in the ball game for the six annual All-Star game. The American Leaguers are getting a workout now, and the crowd is thrilled, watching the boys hit that ball to the fence, the National Leaguers and the American leaguers for the last hour, and they were out here already to watch the batting practice, and there were many, many cheers as the boys on both sides hit him high and wide over the wall and into the right field breaches. It's a ground setting for what should be a wonderful game, and I hope that you'll all be with us to follow every single play in this ball game,

as we bring it to you this afternoon from Cincinnati.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's my pleasure to introduce the gentleman,

who I have the pleasure of being associated with on this ritual broadcasting broadcast this afternoon of this all-star game,

Dick Flay of Cincinnati, a radio station W-F-A-I. He's very enthusiastic about these Cincinnati. He's from Cincinnati. He can give you a small story on this beautiful ballpark this afternoon, and, of course, the history of the game and a lot of other things that he wants to talk to you about. So here's Dick Bray talking to you from Redland Field in Cincinnati. Thank you.

And I'd like to say for myself, I'm more than glad to be with you to this afternoon on this mutual hookup.

And thanks for the kind things you have to say about our ballpark here at Cincinnati.

First of all, a bit about the record of this all-star game.

The first all-star game was played in Chicago in 1933.

That afternoon, the American League won by a score of four to two.

The National League is one but one of the five All-Star games that have been played so far.
