Little World Series Starts September 1 Charles Miller, 814 NW Third ave., Commander of John Griffin Post 165, points out that tomor row’s big league stars will pro vide five thrilling nights of base ball in the 1953 American Legion national junior playoff, Sept. 1 through 5 at Miami Stadium. The four finalists in Florida's first Little World Series will be determined in sectional elimina tions which will wind up Aug. 27. They represent the tops of more than 17,000 Legion-sponsored teams from coast-to-coast and Hawaii. , Since 224 big leaguers, includ ing top stars in the National and American circuits are graduates of Legion-sponsored teams, more than a dozen major loop team and college scouts will be on deck to tab outstanding prospects among the under 17, but plenty husky young ball players. Many of last year’s junior stars signed con tracts and played pro ball this season. The accent’s on youth, both on the diamond and in the stands, for the pennant playoff. Children will be admitted for 25 cents each night with 100 tickets already paid for so they may be distrib uted “for free” to worthy Negro youngsters. Although advance ticket sales have been brisk, plen ty of choice box and reserved seats are available now at $1.50 and $1.15 nightly. General ad mission is 75 cents. Tickets can be obtained from active Legionnaires or through Commander Miller at the NW 3rd ave. address given above. The 1952 national pennant went to Bentley Post, Cicinnati, a three time winner, with San Diego, Cal. as runnerup.
