Yanks Take Nickel Series Opener (Universal Newsreel, Oct 1937)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. YANKS TAKE NICKEL SERIES OPENER: NEW YORK CITY - Those hard-hitting New York Yankees live up to their reputation, downing the Giants 8 to 1 in the first game of another World’s Series. Residents of the Big Town rejoice that they can get to each of the games on a nickel carfare. The pennant-winners go into the sixth inning with the Giants leading, 1 to 0. The mighty Hubbell is knocked out of the box then, as an avalanche of runs piles up the Yankee score. Four other Giant pitchers follow Hubbell, but the game is on ice for the Yanks. The tremendous throng sets up a roar as Lazzeri slams out a homer in the eighth, giving the Yankees their final score. 2. SALMON HAVE FIRST TAG DAY: CHINOOK, WA - (Exclusive) Government agents place metal tags on 1,100 salmon in a mass effort to study the migratory and spawning habits of the luscious fish. A reward of fifty cents is offered to any citizen who reports place and date of capture of a banded fish. 3. BRONCHOS TREAT ’EM ROUGH!: BAKERSFIELD, CA - (Exclusive) The fourth Frontier Days rodeo gets under way in a blaze of color and the cowhands start flopping all over the place from the backs of ornery bronchos and vicious steers. An enormous crowd watches the fun. 4. WAR THREATENS UNITED STATES, SAYS PRESIDENT: CHICAGO, IL - In a ringing speech, President Roosevelt warns of a steadily-increasing danger of armed conflict menacing the United States. Without naming any nation as responsible, the Chief Executive finds a threat in present attacks from the air on civilians, and ships attacked and sunk by submarines in time of peace and without cause or notice. Gravely, the President asserts that if such things can happen in other parts of the world, America cannot feel secure for long. Universal Newsreel presents the President’s speech as a historic document, and gives with it a dramatic view of incidents of aggression which called forth Mr. Roosevelt’s impassioned warning.
