Br-r-r, and they play baseball!

-H-
The National league has been the
lucky one in drawing the first game in
the worlds series. This luck was doped
in the middle of the summer when it
was said by many baseball ~sharps
that, were the Giants to land the PEN
nant, the opening game would be at
the Polo Grounds. Still, there has been
talk of Tipping coins and all that, but
those same sharps couldn't have de-
pended much upon that coin-tossing
episode.
