1947-10-22 The Sporting News Baseball Magazine Contents

1947/10/22 — ITEM DESCRIPTION:
A few people have each time I’ve offered these, perhaps because of the outstanding condition, so for the sake of total clarity this is not a reprint but a totally original vintage issue of The Sporting News issued at the date in the title

Oversized, appx. 11-3/4″ X 16-1/2″ classic The Sporting News issue printed on newsprint. The image at the left is a cropped out portion of the cover (too large to fit the whole thing on my scanner!) and there are other images below from inside this issue. Classic Sporting News from when it was “The Baseball Paper of the World”!

There is just too much packed into each issue of The Sporting News to list it all, but I have paged through this entire issue and here are some of the highlights:

  • Cover cartoon by Willard Mullin is “Whatta Ya Want Out of A Hat?” featuring new Washington Senators manager Joe Kuhel
  • Headline is “Boudreau’s Future Game’s $64 Question — It’s Certain He’ll Not Be Veeck’s Pilot — McAuley Reveals Relations Between Boss, Lou Since Change in Ownership
  • Also on the cover “Durocher Called Out by Church, Nixed on On”
  • “Del Webb Urges Yankee Employees, ‘Relax, Lion Tamer’s Gone!’ — All Calm — New Deal Sweeps Larry’s Sons Nephew Out”

  • Bob Feller “on Game-A-Day Schedule as Stars Average 5,000 on Jaunt”
  • “From Class C Pilot to Major Boss in Four Months — Magician Kuhel Picked Out of Hat by Old Fox — Griff Gambled on Joe in ’30, Paying $65,000 For Him”
  • “22 U.S. Stars Performing in O.B. Sanctioned Loop — 12,000 Witness Opener in Wake of Hurricane Scare”
