Babe Didrikson Throwing Basketball

(Original Caption) It seems as though there's nothing that Mildred "Babe" Didrikson cannot do - and do well. Now, Babe, who is America's outstanding woman athlete, is a basketball player as a member of the Brooklyn Yankees, a girls team. Basketball, Babe has revealed, is her favorite sport. Here, she is seen as she practiced at Arcadia Hall in Brooklyn for her first game as a member of the team. She will receive $400 for the one game she will play as a member of the Yankees against the Long Island Ducklings.
