		Both were all-around athletes excelling, it seemed, in any sport to which they set their minds -- Thorpe in track and field, football and baseball, Conacher in football, lacrosse, hockey, baseball, wrestling and boxing.
		In 1950, while the Associated Press in the United States was selecting Jim Thorpe as the greatest football player and the greatest male athlete of the half century, a select Canadian panel of sports reporters and broadcasters was honoring Canada's native son, Lionel Pretoria Conacher, with the same impressive titles.
		Conacher was now a professional in four sports and consequently ineligible to play Canadian football, which was still exclusively amateur.

		But the Spalding Guide -- which, after all, was published by one of the world's largest sporting goods companies, with a vested interest in bringing baseball to other lands -- had grander ambitions.
		In fact, the postseason series between the AL and NL champs was originally known as the "Championship of the World" or "World's Championship Series." That was shortened through usage to "World's Series" and finally to "World Series."
		One baseball myth that just won't die is that the "World Series" was named for the New York World newspaper, which supposedly sponsored the earliest contests.

	Clem's Baseball ~ Braves Field
		There was a very large roof that covered most of the main grandstand, and along both foul lines there was an uncovered "pavilion." In 1916 a small bleacher section was built in right field, which came to be known as the "jury box" because one day there were only twelve fans sitting out there.
		Braves Field was the last of the "classic era" ballparks, i.e., those built in the years up to World War I, but it was also the FIRST of that era to be closed down.
		The bleachers in left and center field are shaded to indicate that they were only in place for a brief time in the late 1920s and possibly the early 1930s.
