...Joseph Paul Di Maggio Jr. learned baseball on San Francisco's windy Funston playground, baseball kindergarten of big-league players like Oscar Vitt, Alvin Crowder, Umpire Babe Pinelli. One day the playground coach, Edward Hennessey, found him peering through a knothole at the San Francisco Seals, introduced him to their president, Charlie Graham.

A Horse in Arizona was well calculated to startle Author Paul's readers, who had gathered from his first book (The Pumpkin Coach-TIME, April 8, 1935) that Author Paul had almost...
...Army, a book of poems which lands him a job in Hollywood, ups & downs in Wall Street, many an amorous passage by the way. Eventually he settles down to run a bookshop, like his Dad, and marries the patient girl who has been waiting for him. Author Paul makes boisterous fun of every U.
