...Wee Geordie (Gilliat & Launder; George K. Arthur). "ARE YOU UNDERSIZED? LET ME MAKE A DIFFERENT MAN OF YOU!" Wee Geordie's heart gave a glorious thump as he read the ad in the Drumfechan Clarion. He was undersized indeed; so wee a bairn of ten years old was hardly to be seen in all the glen. At school he had to stand on a box to reach the blackboard, and when he went walking with bonny Jean, she was half a head taller than he. That very night, with the courage of desperation, the thrifty young Scotsman scraped...
...Wee Geordie was inspired, and away he rushed, as fast as his skinny little legs would carry him, down "the royal road to health and fitness." To the horror of his parents, the road seemed to be paved with Lsd. To the certain delight of millions of moviegoers, it has also been pot-holed by British Moviemakers Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder with some grand comic surprises...
...chapfallen Dodgers shuffled off to Japan. "We'll win every game." said Captain Pee Wee Reese, just as if it mattered. Back in Manhattan, Charles Dillon Stengel creased his 66-year-old wrinkles in a broad grin. Retire? Well, he might have said something about it.

He needed no more than 97 pitches (71 of which were in the strike zone) to dispose of the absolute minimum of 27 Dodger...
...began the game with a series batting average of .556; by the end of the day it was .583. The Yanks gave the Dodgers a run in the second inning, but brash Billy Martin got one right back with a home run. In the sixth, the Dodgers pushed Pee Wee Reese home from third after he walloped a resounding triple. Slaughter, his team behind once more, came to the plate with two men on and two out. He scowled at Pitcher Roger Craig, glared back across ten years to the fierce joy of that day in 1946 when...
