Baseball Commissioner Tries To Inform Women About Game By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent .. New York (U.P.) Base ball now is pitching at curves. Women were admitted to ball parks long before suffrage, but the people who run the national pastime figure not enough of us are fans. So the office of c o m m i s sioner Ford Frick has pub lished a 'Base ball Made Plain' booklet. One of the pri mer's purpos es is to educate us girls and lure more of us into ball parks. Just in time, too. The major league season opens April 16, giv ing exactly one week for all of us "underprivileged minority" that's what the primer called wo- Gay Pauley Patricia Lydiard Awarded Wings Miss Patricia Ann Lydiard, daughter of Mrs. W.

Learning base ball is just like learning to bake a cake, the primer said. Explains The Basics The 26-page booklet leads the potential fan through a spright ly, elementary explanation of the game, from the fact that there are nine players on each team to reasons why a player can hit the ball and not make a hit. Tt Hops not detail how vou ran drag hubby away from the TV set to mow the lawn. It just as sumed the smart woman decides "if you can't beat 'em, join em." Actually many already have. The commissioner's office esti mated that 17 to 18 per cent of the attendance each week dur ing the season is made up of women, counting ladies' day. Ladies' day, when the women are admitted for almost free, is a national institution instigated in 1883 at the New York Polo Grounds. That year, the women were admitted free. The Encyc lopedia of Baseball shows that in 1912, the St. Louis Browns instituted the first regularly scheduled ladies' days. Women were admitted, if escorted. Found A Fan This led, -the record books say, to the habit of some women, "standing outside the gate and attaching themselves to some likely-looking man." Event ually, the American League adopted regular ladies' days. The National League soon followed. A couple of women fans ac tually are responsible for the baseball primer, said its author, H. Wilson Lloyd, vice president of a Madison Avenue advertis ing and public relations firm. Lloyd said that in 1929 when he and his wife were house hun ting in Cincinnati, a real estate agent wag driving them around to look at various homes. The agent's mother, a lady in her 80's was along and kept up a running commentary on the then Reds, now the Redlegs. "We shouldn't have sold so and so," she said. Or, "we should have pitched somebody else yesterday." Her "we" spirit carried over to Mrs. Lioya, wno put her husband to work ex plaining the game. She became an ardent Reds rooter. "I forgot the incident until the commissioner nired our agency," said Lloyd. "Then it all came back. I decided we needed to reach a lot of people who weren't fans, and a lot of of these were women." Lloyd believes what the wo men lack in numbers, they make up for in loyalty. Men are more statistics min ded," he said. "But no one can exceed the woman fan in emo tional devotion to her team."
