...victim of "baseball," said President Walter O. Briggs (automobile bodies) who became sole owner of the club three years ago, spent $1,000,000 to enlarge the ball park, changed its name from Navin Field to Briggs Stadium.

Last week, A. G. M. A. bagged a real prize: an agreement recognizing the union as sole bargaining agent for the artists at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House.
