Betsy Hageman, violin virtuoso and solist with the N. Y. Philharmonic, buying a 810,000 War Bond from Danny Martin, fomier head of the Brooklyn l'arm System, wlm was recently promoted to selling War Bonds in the stands during important games. 'i.lnst a minute, folks. We must interrupt the hroazlcast while the Pennsylvania Limited roars past outside the park. Engineer Bob Dick waved to me just as the train passed our booth. l noticed 'llerl Strong, just back from Washington after pat- enting his Super-Fuller Brush, and Paul Anderson just arriving in New York to play an engagement with his harmonica at the Paramount, in the obser- vation car. Claiming around again, formerly of Chatham. now I see Nelson Kelley, an Olympic star and world's record holder in the half-mile. Sitting with participated in the him is Fred Ball, who also Ulympics und did the best time on the hurdles, and Harry Lockhead, world-renowned hockey player with the New York Rangers. Well, it seems as though the rain let up suffi- ciently, because Umpire Venneman is ready to start the gums- again. While Pritchard is loosening up his arm. Jennie Konkly, athletic director, goes out and gives him a few pointers on how to pitch. Bill Pieper, handsome movie actor for Parafilm Studio, who is known as the man with the lush blush., walks in a little late, escorting Lois Ford, np and coming lnodel for John Powers. Above thc Brooklyn bench is ,lnne Fortier, wife of General Mockey Welsh, accompanied by Admiral Clarence Sloss of the Navy. Their seats arc next to Doris Spiller. National Regent of the D. A. R. Thrce of Doris's friends are just in front of her: Phyllis Miller, owner of the Punch and Judy Shop, and Barbara Bates, traveling representative of the Du- Barry School of Success: Verna Apgar, just back from a good will tour of South America. Plav has resumed on the field, and Pritchard has walked the first two batters. Bunny Moxon, Brooklyn manager who is noted for his brilliant strategy, puts in Sleepy Bill Conway, champion high-speed roller skater, and Alan Hutchinson, skiing expert during the winter in Bamberger's Basement, as pinch runners. There seems to be a commotion back of third base caused hy the loud shouting of Ginny Goss, rabid Doalger fan, which angers Dick Corhitt, ace prizefighter and a devout Yankee router, wlm is attending the game with his wife, the former Eleanor Jeter. He jumps to his feet and trips on a stray pop bottle. Seeing that he C 2 has broken a tooth, Eleanor calls for a dentist. and Noel Trowbridge comes on the Yanks to help him Dodger which he must Brave', to keep and fixes Dick up quickly with the aid of his nurses, .lean Klocksin and Cynthia Hyneman. Then the three dental wizards help Dick into his antogi'o to be taken to the Flower Hospital for further examin- ation by Chief specialist Dorothy Brown, herd of the dental department. The plane's pilot is .lanet Heberton, who recently flew around the world with her co-pilot Waltraud Gran and Harold Bell, run. He nscs the the Giant hills out of the Red ace mechanic of the C. A. P. Behind the backstop sit Conrad Metcalfe, editor of the New York Times, and Laird Frohcrg, busily engaged in conversation about the latter's new in- temational language. A few rows in back, Elizabeth Nederrey and Connie Smith, up and coming women comedians of stage, screen, and radio, are seated. tThey hope to be No. 1 in the coming comedian poll, in other words, All or Nothing al All.r Sudden ly they spy Conrad and Laird and wave to them. Also in Section 32, I see Ruth Nelson, author of Ru!hic's Day, glancing about the stands in search nl' some local color to put in tomorrow's cclnmn. ln the same row is Doris Murphy, fashion editor of the Harald Tribune, who is discussing the latest fashions with ,lane Broadwell, Lord and Taylor fashion expert, and Jackie Bergmann of the Berg- mann Busy Bus Business. During the shouts of disgust when a Dodger was declared ont, Henry Kruse, official advisor on foreign affairs to the President of the U. S. A.. proceeds to stand up and yell Kill the nmpg kill Vcnnemanf' Finally, ,lohnny Edgar, one of the big farmers of New Jersey who is trying to get a favor- able bill passed in Congress, persuades Henry to sit down. A notice has just been sent to me, folks, that a fan's car bearing license 96X please report to tht- parking lot owner immediately and all damages to his car will be compensated by the Brooklyn bus- iness manager, Bob Woodruff, who pays damages on all cars hit by foul balls. Why, it seems to be Bud Bigley's car that got hit, for he just dashed onto the playing field and across to the parking lot. Boy, does he look mad! As we look hack on the field, an nnexplainable haze seems to settle over the entire park. Up in the press box, we can't understand it, folks. Ahll'lers': a notice with the explanation.
