American League. Although the World Champion New York Yankees are overwhelming favorites to win their fourth straight pennant, the most talked of team in the league is the Boston Red Sox. To camp followers this spring they showed such class that they are generally given an outside chance to beat the favorites to the wire-or at least give them a run for their money.

Strikingly similar to a Universal-Cooper vehicle of last season titled Newsboys' Home, it exhibits Jackie, now a burly, downy adolescent of 15, as an honest newsboy who struggles to become the Abraham Lincoln of Tenth Avenue by studying law at night school. He also has a racketeering elder brother...
