AUGUST 10, 1934 THE ADVISER WEEKLY Page 6 SPORT NEWS A cheering jeering crowd of some three thousand baseball fans lined the streets surrounding historic Tandy Park Sunday afternoon to witness the usual double-header played every Sunday afternoon at these grounds, by the four teams comprising the Tandy loop. The first game was played by two second division teams, the St. Louis Braves and the Harper Porter Roofers. One not knowing the status of these teams, and merely judging them by the manner in which they tore into each other, would have thought that they were playing for some much sought and highly prized championship. The Braves' batters waded into the pitching of a quartet of Roofer pitchers for a total of 15 hits and thirteen runs, the chief sufferer being "John Henry" Dodson, the Roofer ace. The great man was knocked out of there in the Braves' two-run rally in the fourth inning. Although hit harder than usual Eugene "School Boy" Smith managed to pull out of all but the third inning hole during which the Roofers put over all of their six runs on three hits and a comedy of errors. The Braves won this game by a score of 13 to 6.

This game got under way with the Coronados leading the league by one game and the "New Dealers" battling for a tie for the lead. Manager Fischer of the Stars withheld his ace pitcher "Midget" Joe Smith, and in his stead started a strong arm outfielder, who proved to be the Democrats' favorite pitcher. They socked him for four runs in two innings before he was sent back to the outfield and the "Midget" brought in. Little Joe proved his worth by pitching steadily and socking a triple in the Coronado's three-run winning rally in the seventh inning. The New Dealers were beaten by a score of ten to eight.

We dropped in the HARLEM NITE CLUB last Tuesday midnite and got both. That youngster who performs with the trumpet is a coming marvel, in fact the whole orchestra is a harmonious one. The entertainer was Miss "Dazzling" Tiny Blackmon, who used to be at the Plantation and Rainbow Nite Clubs here in the city and before that with Drake & Walker's show. She sang several numbers for us, and wanted to do her famous dance, but not being in costume, she asked us back on Saturday or Sunday nites when she will do it. We have been told that she is some hoofer. This week-end the featured attractions at this Hot-Spot are as follows: Saturday night, Wm. Calloway and his orchestra. Calloway, as you may or may not remember used to be with Langford, and if he can manage a band like he can a banjo, Some Kid, eh! Fun? Sunday night C. Scott brings his organization there, and they need no introduction. Both nights will see Velma Middleton and her ALL-STAR floor show carrying on. There will also be a novelty band there that will make it a hotter show still. We found the place cool and comfortable and plenty room to dance, something that is another rarity in Nite Clubs.
