Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 8-25-2021
Bridgeport Times, August 25, 1921:
Declaring that an active doubt existed as to the value of professional baseball in American life, the Chicago Tribune has announced on its editorial page that it had curtailed its baseball reports in favor of other sports, particularly amateur games.
...
[The Tribune writes that] “Professional baseball is a stimulus for boys, but journalism has overfed it with space. Amateur sports seldom produce the ability of professional sports but they produce sound citizenry.”
It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
