Thursday October 6, 1921. Winners and Losers.

On this day in 1921, the New York Yankees beat the New York Giant 3 to 0 in game 2 of the 1921 World Series.

California Here I Come, April Showers and Toot, Toot, Tootsie were introduced in the musical Bombo at Jolson's 59th Street Theatre.  The songs were popular enough that I actually learned the lyrics to all three as a kid somehow, probably from the Lawrence Welk Show.  The production was one of the popular, weird, racist black face musicals of that era.

The dog funeral of Buster Snook, a Spanish poodle, owned by, Selma Snook, of Washington D.C., took place.

A photographer examined the schools and students of West Virginia.

Little Levels High School, Hilsboro West Virginia.

"On the way to school. Country children en route to the Buckeye Grades School, near Marlinton, W. Va. These come from some of the poorer farms and walk from 2 to 3 miles each way. One walked 4 miles all winter."

"The "East Side" of Pocahontas Country. The Aldrich home, - Buckeye, near Marlinton, W. Va. This is one of the worst homes in the county. Note the duck-coop, made out of an old trunk, - in front yard. Mother said "The colt kicked the winders out." She is a no-'count mountaineer from Kentucky and her husband is a shiftless farmer who has let this farm run down to worthlessness. His father ran a prosperous farm here and owned hundreds of acres but the son has run thro[ugh] it all. Typical of worst conditions in the country. Oct. 6, 1921. Location: Pocahontas County--Marlinton, West Virginia."
