- IPDB The Popular Mechanics article shown here indicates two people can play this game, but likely they mean each person plays a solo game then they compare scores. The manufacturer ad shown here does not indicate this game is 2-player. Compare this game to Amusement Machine Corporation, Ltd.'s 1931 'The All-American Baseball Game'. Designer George H. Miner, who disliked air travel, died in a plane crash ten miles west of Cheyenne, Wyoming on October 7, 1935, on his return trip to Chicago after flying to Los Angeles to make arrangements for his brother's funeral. Miner was chief engineer (and a designer) at Bally at the time of his death. He did not live to see his patent filing for this game get approved. used
