What had kept the aged, ailing Yankees in the race? Big, barrel-shaped Veteran Johnny Mize, 37, was one answer. Called up from Kansas City in the spring, he had hit 19 home runs in 68 games. Three other standbys were Sophomore Outfielder Hank Bauer (.341), Shortstop Phil Rizzuto (.330) and Catcher Yogi Berra (.323). They were having the best seasons of their baseball careers...
Once beyond the first team, the number of lettermen decreases and the number of sophomores increases. There are five sophomores on the second team: ends Paul Crowley and Stan Britton; left tackle Bob Stargel; right guard Hank Toepke; and center Buddy Lemay. Right tackle Duke Sedgwick and quarterback Carroll Lowenstein are the two lettermen on this eleven. Left guard Bob Fallon, tailback Dusty Burke, wingback.

The first concert, with the Pro Arte Quartet, drew only 559 fans, but even that was 200 more than they expected. Since then things have picked up. His biggest triumph came last year when he got Pianist Artur Rubinstein, Violinist Jascha Heifetz and Cellist Gregor Piatigorsky to play together, and packed Ravinia with a record-breaking 10,000 fans (TIME...
