Twenty-five years ago the Giants, (then of N.Y.) met the Yankees in the World Series before many of the celebrities of the day. POV from behind reporters at baseball game, good hustle and bustle press, photographers. Bill Terry ? Former President Herbert Hoover, heavy-weight boxer James Braddock, Jack Dempsey, Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, former New York Mayor Jimmy Walker. Mayor LaGuardia throws out the first pitch. Nice crowd shots, including crowd (fans) rising to their feet. The Giants put up a gallant battle but they went down before New York's "Murderers' Row" - Gehrig, DiMaggio, Dickey and Lazzeri. Joe DiMaggio hits a home run that wins the game. DiMaggio running bases, gets a pat on the back from the third base coach as he passes third.
