7/6-7/12/52

July 6 Sunday We cabbed to Woodlawn again today. I rallied with Sylvia C, W Waldman & some doubles. Eugene read "Schnozzola" there which we both read.

July 7 Both kids take balls with them which they continually bounce wherever they go. Mayor Impellitteri's firetrap probers recommended more money for inspectors and more housing projects.

July 8 Lost to Levine as the kids played their respective games in the playground. Eisenhower won by 110 votes in the first test at the Republican Convention on a demand that contested delegates be barred until their cases have been settled. Alison Skipworth is dead at 88.

July 9 The kids played "Monopoly" on a rainy day. Dr Robbins found nothing wrong with my teeth. My bill was $9 for xrays and cleaning. 

July 10 Eugene drew "Rookie Southpaw"  B. Leonard, "Punt Formation"- P Harkins, "Squeeze Play" C. Lochlons and "Silver Spurs for Cowboy Boots" S Garst. Sylvia drew "The Fig Tree" E.F. Lattimore, "Then there were Five" E. Enright, "Schoolroom Zoo" - C Wooley and "Peggy Plants a Tree" Rose Flynn. A three man Federal Court over-ruled the State Depts's revocation of writer Ann Bauer's passport ordering a hearing before any action can be taken. 

Dad taped in the box score of the 1952 All-Star Game in the middle of this entry. 


July 11 Sylvia won 8 straight nok hockey games including an 11-9 victory over Eugene. Later she lost her championship to Eugene. Taft, Eisenhower, Warren, Stassen and MacArthur were nominated at the Repub. Convention. Steve Nelson received the maximum penalty of 20 years jail for sedition.

July 12 My last vacation day and we went to "Joyland" 236 st and Broadway. The kids went on various rides. Eugene wouldn't go on the Ferriss [sic] Wheel however and I took his place with Sylvia. Afterward we went up to 242nd st and played some "stinky pinky". Eisenhower was nominated on the Republican's first ballot over Taft.
