to access the Atlantic City Press. To either walk into a nearby
library, and sitting at a microfilm reader, go through the Atlantic
City Press,page by page. OR somehow accessing it online. bluestreak

Hey bluestreak-ga,

I'm not in Jersey and to get this answer from the Atlantic City Press,
I suspect that a researcher is going to have to be located there as
only a handful of libraries currently have the paper in their
collections.

Just a thought. Have you tried contacting the BBWAA directly? I
checked them out in Associations Unlimited and also online. They do
have a contact address:

Best of luck as usual,

luciaphile,

It is so great to hear form you!  Yes, I have contacted them in the
past, but no luck.  Surprisingly, they have never kept records of
their members dates of birth, death or anything else, except perhaps
dues, of course.  But I will contact them, in case they have an
obliging member in the Atlantic City, NJ area.  So that is a good
lead!  If it comes to anything, I will credit you, of course!  Thanks
for a solid lead!  bluestreak
