Shaky dull in contrast and imagery Gabby Hartnett, popular catcher of the Chicago Cubs, who has been one of his team's colorful figures for 22 years, assumes command of the ball club and leads his team-mates in a revival of top-notch baseball. Quick shot of radio announcer in booth. Microphone says WBBM. (Announcer might be Pat Flanagan or Bob Elson ??) Signing autographs, crowded stands, catcher putting on padding.
