Portrait of Joe McCarthy

(Original Caption) Although America's national pastime is temporarily forgotten in the current rush of winter and indoor sports, here's a reminder of the way Joe McCarthy, new pilot of the New York Yankees will look when the new 1931 season rolls around to the big leagues. He is shown in his nice new uniform directing activities from the dugout. Joe is said to be hoping that his club will take over another Minor League club of a little higher rating than the Chambersburg Blue Ridge club, whose franchise is being sold by the Yankees.
