Another member of the Rooters Club is a fat, wrink!ed face negro of uncertain years. Dressed in snappy, bulging plus fours, and a yellow sweater of eye knocking bril- liance, he is present every day. He claims to hate the Yankees and sits eclusion under the score ver and anon emerging to note how the Dodgers and the Giants are making out on the road. A rabbit’s foot hanging upon his belt is used to invoke the gods against the Yankees. But how come he is here? Your dyed in the wool Giant fan will stay away rather than wit- ness a game on alien soil day after Over the barrier in the reserved seats we have Jake, a retired Jewish merchant of means. He never misses a home game and usually follows the Yankees on the road. Lolling back in opulence he still has to remain near the bleachers, the very heart of things. When the kibitzing from the boys grows a little hard to take Jake pulls out a series of cards upon which are written snappy comebacks in Jewish. These he displays to the bleacherites and all concerned have a happy laugh. Such then is fandom. The real baseball lovers. Escaping for an afternoon from work or lack of it, they keep the game alive with their burning interest. They soar with victory and sink with defeat. With the possible exception of that institution known as Ruth, they spare no sentiment for the pl. Boos and jeers come as well as cheers and hat throwing. —R. D. IF THERE WERE ONLY TWO TELEPHONES IN YOUR TOWN Ir THERE were only two telephones in your town the fortunate posses- sors would probably put them on pedestals in the most prominent places in their homes. Neighbors would flock to see them. Children would clamor to touch them. Bolder ones would lift the receiver to hear the magic voice—then hang up sud- denly in bewilderment. Because the telephone is in mil- lions of homes and offices and is so much a part of our daily lives, it is not regarded with this strange awe. Yet the miracle of the telephone is no less real. The magic of it no less powerful. At any hour of the day or night you can talk to almost anybody, anywhere—to far countries and to ships at sea. The first wonder is that you can talk to folks around the corner. The second wonder is that the service is so organized that you can talk to people in far away lands. The third wonder—perhaps the greatest of all —is that telephone service is so inexpensive. Of all things purchased, there is none that costs so little and brings you so much convenience, security and achievement as the telephone.
