The Hollywood Movie Stars girl, baseball team was the original idea of a group of celebrated movie ■tars. The Idea was born In the studios when It was found that many of the younger girls spent a lot of their spare time between pic tures playing ball on the lots of the studios. Several enterprising stars j got together and secured the serv ices of Paddy Rya, former member of the New York Gians’ coaching ataff and trained the squad for two months. The team shaped up far better than ever anticipated and defeated some of the strongest male aggregations on the coast, It was then decided to put them on the road to show What Holly wood can really turn out in the line of athletics. They left California 17 weeks ago and are still going strong, meeting the toughest op position all over the United States and proving to the world that the weaker sex isn’t so weak. They back up that statement with a record that shows 47 victories out of 107 games played, all against male teams. Well, why not? They’ve learnt to smoke I They hold down Jobs that were formerly held by men! They’re tn political They are prominent In aporte, especially In track, tennis, swimming and basketball. They’ve even played a little football. Bo why shouldn’t they become profi cient In baseball? At any rate K should be fun to watch them match their skill against the local boys. And If the girls should win. Well, there will be plenty of alibis floating around town the day after. The girls are all easy to look at and they have been drawing new crowds to the ball parks. The base ball fans and the movie fans have something In common at last and many a person who has never seen a baseball game before Is now a rabid rooter. The girls from sunny California are Instilling a new in terest m our national game.
