This wonderful daily is a beautiful pen-and-ink strip showing Jeff introducing baseball to a British gentleman. The fanciful Brit is well aware of "Babe Ruth" and discusses scoring for a game. Signed at the top by important comic artist Bud Fisher, who was a part of the "New York Gentlemen" sports scene of the '20s. Two prospective titles are at the top, one of which is crossed out: "Does Sir Sidney Understand Base Ball, Well Hardly." The final title is: "Another One-Sided Affair." Measures 30" x 9.5".
