From the desk: BROOKLYN SEMIPROS

 

On Sunday, June 30, 1935, not more than two miles east of where I presently live, the Bay Parkway Dukes split games of a doubleheader with the Cuban Stars in front of 2,500 fans at Erasmus Field, McDonald Avenue at the Avenue M station along the Culver Line.  Meanwhile, two miles north of where I presently live, a reported crowd of 3,700 fans watches Bay Ridge split games of their twin bill against the Stroudsburg club from Pennsylvania at Bay Ridge Oval, 15th Avenue at 86th Street.  The two games combined for 6,200 local fans in attendance.  Starting pitcher Al Morris was the day's top star for Bay Parkway, right fielder Mickey Sefchick for Bay Ridge.
