What you’re looking at
This page contains two unrelated items: a sports anecdote and an advertisement. **"About Diamond Stars" (Left):** A humorous story about Larry McLean, catcher for the New York Giants baseball team. The joke involves McLean's reputation as both a skilled boxer and baseball player. A sportswriter attempts to provoke McLean by showing him a newspaper claiming rival boxer Vickers is the "coming heavyweight champion," suggesting Vickers is stealing McLean's fame. The adviser suggests McLean challenge Vickers by throwing boxing gloves at his feet during a Portland game visit. McLean's deadpan response—worrying that Vickers might actually accept the challenge—provides the punchline: the bluff wouldn't work because Vickers might call it. **Right side:** A Karo corn syrup advertisement promoting its use in home canning and preserving, with a canning table and offer for a free "Karo Preserving Book." The page reflects early 20th-century baseball celebrity culture and wartime-era domestic economy messaging.
