Default Interesting Item: FIRST TELEVISED BB GAME? (1934 World Series)

I recently came across a small grouping of items associated with the 1934 World Series and among my favorite items is a neat advertising card from Ward's Bread featuring a die-cut card of a Tiger with advertising on the back (too bad it didn't depict a player!) and the other "favorite item" was a handbill for what appears to be a theatre offering its patrons the chance to see a "televised" World Series game!

Not sure exactly what this is advertising as it says on front "Televisions Only Rival" but from the description is sounds like a televised game. A quick search seems to indicate the first Televised World Series game was the late 1940's.

Can anyone shed any light on this strange item?
