Pictorial History of Baseball PRESIDENT WILLIAM HARRIDGE looks over a print of the new American League sound motion picture, "First Century of Baseball," following the world premiere in New York.

First Century of Baseball Depicted In American League’s New Picture "First Century of Baseball," a new American League sound motion picture to be released early next year in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the national pastime, had its initial showing last week at New York. Officials, club owners and managers, members of the Baseball Writers' association and others attending the three-day major league meeting witnessed the premiere of the 45-minute picture, the fifth of a series produced in as many years by the American League in cooperation with the Fisher Body division of General Motors. Based upon the findings of the Mills commission, the new film illustrates the more important points. Following the sequence suggesting the manner in which Cummings adapted to his own use the principle employed in making certain billard shots, Johnny Allen, Ted Lyons, Emil Leonard, Monte Pearson, Surgeon Chandler, Buck Newsom, Lefty Gomez and other ace hurlers, including Monte Stratton, who recently lost a leg as a result of a hunting accident, step to the mound to show the advances that have been made in pitching in the last 70 years. Fielding, batting and base running are handled in similar fashion. Officials, club owners and managers, members of the Baseball Writers' association and others attending the three-day major league meeting witnessed the premiere of the 45-minute picture, the fifth of a series produced in as many years by the American League in cooperation with the Fisher Body division of General Motors. Based upon the findings of the Mills commission, the new film is a pictorial history, tracing the course of the game from its rudimentary forms to the present highly developed type of play found in the major leagues. The story proper starts with the creation of a set of rules by Abner Doubleday in 1839 for the then popular town ball, which established the fundamental principles of baseball as it is known today. Improvements suggested by Alexander J. Cartwright, such as limiting the game to nine innings and extending the distance between bases to the present 90 feet, as well as his part in the formation of the first baseball club in 1845, likewise are dealt with fully. Development of the rule-beating curve ball by William Arthur Cummings in 1867, limitation nine years later of the length of bats to the present 42 inches after they had grown to absurd proportions as a defense measure against this pitching innovation, the appearance of the glove and mask some 40 years following the inauguration of the game, and Robert Addy's slide into second base in 1866; the first time such an astounding feat had been attempted, are a few of the other highlights of baseball history covered in the film. Numerous comparisons between the new and the old are made to certain billard shots, Johnny Allen, Ted Lyons, Emil Leonard, Monte Pearson, Surgeon Chandler, Buck Newsom, Lefty Gomez and other ace hurlers, including Monte Stratton, who recently lost a leg as a result of a hunting accident, step to the mound to show the advances that have been made in pitching in the last 70 years. Fielding, batting and base running are handled in similar fashion. 555 rooms with bath - Directly opposite the downtown Los Angeles. - Easy chairs, sleep-inspiring beds, large rooms with luxurious fittings. - Unsurpassed service and luxury are yours at amazingly low cost.

The story began to "break" (to use newspaper shop talk) about 163 years ago. And it has been a continuous story from that time to the present. The real starting point was the Declaration of Independence. This led to the revolutionary war. The colo-ists were victorious. And the day Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, the American people became the first really free people in the history of the world. That was really big news. But the crowned heads of Europe laughed at it. In the intervening years most of the crowds have gone. Yet those free Americans remained free. The instruc-tion government which they e-eded—a government by repres-tives—has endured the test in Washington this week being started a new ch-aise story which had its b- more than a century and ago. The chapter will be of interest to every American only the headlines but the stories will be full news. It will be the news another congress is treat- legacy of individual trees by the founding fathers. Of this freedom was left the executive branch of en-ment — not to the branch—but to the repres-ntions.

The instrument of government which they establish—a government by representatives—has endured the test. And in Washington this week there is being started a new chapter to the story which had its beginning more than a century and a half ago. The chapter will be of vital interest to every American. Not only the headlines but the body of the stories will be filled with news. It will be the news of another congress is treating the legacy of individual freedom left by the founding fathers. The care of this freedom was left—not to the executive branch of the government — not to the judicial branch—but to the representative branch, the new congress that is convening in a world in which free nations are distressing few. Eleventh hour efforts are being made to stave off amendment of the National Labor Relations act. Leading the fight against amendment is the C. I. O. and allied in the fight for amendment are the A. F. of L., and an imposing percentage of the congressmen. The big question mark is the labor department. No one seems to be able to find out what stand it will take in the matter. Privately, labor department high-ups are known to be opposed to amendment, and the C. I. O. is counting strongly on support from this quarter. Spokesmen for the administration's high-ups, however, are handling the problem gingerly, fearing bad reaction of the amendments oppoked by the administration. They are well aware of recent national polls indicating a strong majority in favor of revision of the labor act. Beta Complete Food Markets THIS WEEK FEATURING QUALITY MEATS AT NEW LOW PRICES!!
