Weather permitting, William M.
Sweets viii broadcast the account
of the third World Series game
today.
If it rains today Graham Nc
Nance will give the story Of the
third game tomorrow, with Quin
Ryan following Sunday and
Sweets Monday.
The last minute change of
plans which deprived. us of hear.
ing Graham McNamee yesterday
was disappointment. Instead
of broadcasting all of the games
for the WEAF chain, as he did
last year, McNamee is alterat-
ing with Ryan this year.
Ryan comes East from WON,
Chicago, with an enviable record
as sports ANNOUNCER. He is q
great favorite In and around
Chicago where he has been broad
casting all the big sporting events
for some time.
Last year Ryan gave q radio &C
count, over WGN, of the biggest
football games in the Middle
West. He has also broadcast
descriptions of the Indianapolis
auto races and other events OF
that character. He achieved
his greatest fame last year in
broadcasting the game between
Michigan and Illinois. in which
Red Grange. OF Illinois, scored
four touchdowns after long runs
all within the first ten minutes
of play.
However, in spite Of his ponder
GUS record Of achievements, we
are still dubious of his ability
as baseball announcer. His eff
fort yesterday, although good,
was not nearly as clear and vivid
as descriptions either Sweets
or McNamee have given under sim
liar circumstances.
Too many times during the
game he confused the names Of
the teams and the players, and
clearly demonstrated that he was
not entirely familiar with the
contestants. And although 1t
was an easy error to make, 1t
certainly grated on our nerves
to hear him call the champions
cincinnati.
