Last summer, at an age when most hockey players put away their skates for good, 36-year-old Eddie Shore bought the minor-league Springfield (Mass.)

...years ago promoters of professional football were unable to fill a good-sized stadium, even with Annie Oakleys.

The authors seem to feel that if they have less than 50 people on the stage the audience will imagine it is intermission...
