Interesting Item: FIRST TELEVISED BB GAME? (1934 World Series)
I recently came across a small grouping of items associated with the 1934 World Series and among my favorite items is a neat advertising card from Ward's Bread featuring a die-cut card of a Tiger with advertising on the back (too bad it didn't depict a player!) and the other "favorite item" was a handbill for what appears to be a theatre offering its patrons the chance to see a "televised" World Series game!
Not sure exactly what this is advertising as it says on front "Televisions Only Rival" but from the description is sounds like a televised game. A quick search seems to indicate the first Televised World Series game was the late 1940's. Can anyone shed any light on this strange item? Items seen here:  Back of Ward's Tigers Card:

That theatre was about a couple seconds walk from my office -

If that handbill is 1934 then that "television" had to be some kind of hokey reenactment of the game probably based off of the audio feed.
Rob M Edited to add: Still very cool item especially since it was just at the time when television was in its infancy. Last edited by ramram; 06-20-2017 at 03:23 PM.
