Description

Jackson was a major attraction for the crowd but failed to show his famed batting form, going 1 for 3, though he did display a powerful throwing arm in the outfield. The All-Stars easily defeated the Coal Miners, 12-4. The article also notes that Jackson was a "big boy about six feet one inch, weighing more than 200" and had a friendly demeanor with the children who swarmed around him
