 October 20, 1924 

 It has been announced that King George V and other members of the royal family will be present at Wembley on November 6 to watch the Chicago Sox play the New York Giants. This will be the teams' first London exhibition.

 Funds raised from the ticket sales will go to a local London hospital. Other members of the royal family who are expected to attend include the Prince of Wales (having only just returned home from his North American tour), the Duke and Duchess of York, and Prince Henry. The real question of course: will the royals sing "take me out to the ballgame?"
