Bridgeport Severs Joe Smith Two Base Slam Victory
Bridgeport fans celebrate as Joe Smith lands a two base hit for a decisive win on Saturday June 11 1920. The Bridgeport Times reports the local baseball game and highlights a dramatic scoring moment. Major public interest centers on Congress debating the Dempsey Carpentier fight and soldiers bonuses. Congressman Jimmy Gallivan leads a push to delay the bout until after a veterans’ bonus is settled. He argues funds should aid World War I servicemen rather than fund boxing spectacles.
