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

One of the pri

es is to educate us girls and lure
more of us into ball parks.
Just in time, too. The major

West Side"Oub
To Make Plans
For Hobby Show
West Side Mothers' club will
meet Wednesday, April 10, at 8
p.m. at the home of Mrs. Dee Ed
monds, Old Stage road. The an
nual hobby show given by the
students of West Side school
wil be planned. It will be a com
munity affair, with a hot dog

Mrs. B. D. Blackstone, chair
man of the entertainment com
mittee, has announced the guest
speaker for the meeting is to be
Mr. Watts, an exchange teacher
from Australia, teaching at
Southern Oregon college.
The nominating committee is

era Kagy and Mrs. Allyn A.
Monroe.
men who can't tell Mickey Man
tle from the umpire to brush
up, er, batter up. 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

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." "
