New Golden Age in Sports Dud by Major Stars of Past
The piece argues the postwar boom will not surpass the classic era of Ruth, Dempsey, Jones, Tilden, and Man o War in talent or crowd appeal. It notes few current stars can match those legends, highlights Joe Louis and others as potential link figures, and predicts a larger talent pool from youth and veterans, plus Army and Navy teams, shaping a busy decade with record crowds.
