Crowd watches World Series results as played out on “metal
playing field”: Lakeland, Florida (1924)
Image Number: RC10743
This scene at the Lakeland Ledger office, on October 4,
1924, was a familiar one throughout the land at daily newspaper
offices during World Series week. Crowds would gather to
watch a pitch-by-pitch enactment of the game as news arived
on the Associated Press wire. The chief board operator, by
means of an electromagnet behind the metal "playing
field" would cause a lighweight metal ball to roll from
the pitcher's mound to home plate, and then to the appropriate
spots on the field. One or more assistants, as needed, would
slide discs representing runners along the base paths. An
announcer with a megaphone would describe the action.
The
score here is 2 to 0, in favor of the New York Giants,
after five innings of the first game of the
1924 Series. The Giants won that game, 4 to 3, in 12 innings,
but the Washington Senators finally won the Series, four
games to three.
