1t doesn't happen very
often; only about once in a genera

shakes, fires glow, bands blare and
the roar of thousands echoes across
the city from Dearborn to Belle Isle,

When base ball pennants come to
Detroit only once in a quarter of a
century, there is nothing blase about
the sporting spirit of this town for
all its big city trappings. The first
Roosevelt was in the White House
